Legends of Caspian: Escape part 2

The spear was withdrawn as Mrs. Vanderdan's children shrieked!
Caspian drew his sword and yelled to Luke, "Mardina must have told Father!" Luke nodded as he also drew his sword. "Help me!" Caspian cried as he swung his sword into the cardboard thick wall! His shining blade cleaved the wall to pieces creating a gigantic hole. Suddenly, someone shouted and an arrow slammed into the wall next to Caspian! Caspian stumbled inside as soldiers ran up to the hole and the door to the hut was thrown down! Caspian whirled and charged the soldiers storming into the hut! His blade deftly repelled the glittering spearheads that were protruding from the door way! Luke leaped to his side as a white faced Mrs. Vanderdan hurled fiery brands at the intruders. Suddenly, there was a hiss and an arrow seemed to grow from a soldier neck! The soldier collapsed to the floor as two more hisses sounded and two arrows, apparently shot from the same bow, hit more soldiers! The remaining spearmen scrambled backwards and shouts resounded outside the hut. Caspian turned and saw a man dressed in Lincoln green far off on a distant hillside. He had a bow in his hand and was surrounded by several other archers. All were dressed in Lincoln green.
Suddenly, there was a great shout and Luke shouted, "Fire!" Indeed, it was fire. The soldiers had resorted to a new devious tactic. They threw torches onto the hut! The flame spread like wind and soon the hut was a towering pillar of flame, but Luke and Caspian were quicker. They each grabbed a pair of crying young ones and ran out as Mrs. Vanderdan and a scared nine year old herded the rest of the children out. Arrows whistled past as the archers on the hill opened fire on the soldiers, who were surprised that their victims had escaped the blazing inferno! Caspian dropped the toddlers in his hands and whirled as he drew his blade. He pointed it at the soldiers and charged them! He neared the first one and sliced across the soldier's chest and then whipped around to his left to cleave a spear shaft that had been jabbed at him.
Surprised at this sudden assault, the soldiers slowed, until a one eyed man wearing black armor with small wings sticking out of the shoulders approached. He drew his blade, also black, and pointed it at Caspian. "Surrender or die!"
