The Vaegir-CC army reaches Ichamur and within 2 hours the cannons break through the walls. However, the defenders are prepared, and many of the breaches become kill-zones as the professional Swadian army is able to use the Khergit Muskets effectively with a rank fire tactic. The entire Confederate Army, over 1,000 men, is killed on the first day.
