uh oh - I must hold my hands up and admit I'd forgotten (well never realised to be honest) that as the Gate was broken the City was not besieged......
I've been frantically leafing through my old copy of ROTK. And you live and learn! Only the Witch King made it through.
That is a bit funny though, seing as the Orcs had used Grond to break down the Gate and then did not make thier way through into the City, especially as the WK had frightened everyone off from the vicinity of the Gate (and Gandalf had run off to aid Faramir)
mmmmmmmm.......... Plot hole perhaps?
