Battle of the Hornburg;

Battle of the Hornburg; Happened on the night of March 3 & the 4th in 3rd Age 3019. It happened in the great coomb, and the caverns behind it, that lay in the northern valleys of the White Mountains(Ered Nimrais). 

Erkenbrand was defeated at the Second Battle of the Fords of Isen, and his men scattered across the plains. After hearing the news of the defeat, Théoden diverted to the defensive position of Helm's Deep. The armies of Saruman traveled from the Fords, besieging Helm's Deep on the night of March 3rd. Then Erkenbrand's men, gathered by Gandalf, rode to the relief of Théoden, and Saruman's forces were defeated and the Rohirrim had the victory.(I Love the movie adaptation though.)
