The Return of the King: Being the Third Part of the Lord of the Rings · Chapter 11
The Black Gate
The army of the West marches to the Black Gate of Mordor. The Mouth of Sauron displays tokens taken from Frodo and offers terms of submission. Gandalf rejects them; Sauron's forces spring their trap, surrounding the outnumbered defenders.
Outcome
Battle erupts; Pippin fights valiantly before falling; the Eagles arrive as hope seems lost; the diversion succeeds in drawing Sauron's gaze.
