High King Ithilion wrote: Well, in battles where orcs did not have crushing numbers, the orcs were usually Shrecked. Look at Eomer's attack on the Uruk Scouts, or the 2nd and 3rd Battles of Beleriand. The Rohirrim were also able to hold off Orcs at the Hornburg for a vey long time

Also, here is a Silmarillion quote. "for Morgoth perceived now that the Orcs unaided were no match for the Noldor; ", showing that orcs really ae weak.

The Riders of Rohan won due to good archers, sunlight, and fighting among the orcs. Whenever orcs came too close they were picked off, and skirmishing likely killed half of them. When the riders finally did attack, they did at sunrise, which weakened the Moria and Mordor Orcs. There wouldn't be enough of the uruks left to take more riders than they did after that.

Does anyone else wish the movie adaption of TTT showed the duel between Uglúk and Eomer that was briefly mentioned in the book?
