The thirteen Dwarves who cut through to Bolg's guard were the Thorin's company.

Quote:
Thorin and his companions then charged out to join the battle, covered from head to toe in the finest armour and weapons contained in the treasure hoard of Erebor. Thorin advanced through the Goblins' ranks all the way up to the gigantic Goblins that formed the bodyguard of Bolg, who he could not get past. He was outflanked and surrounded, and was forced to form his troops into a great circle.
Taken from Wikipedia, as I don't have the book on hand. But I suppose it is accurate.
