The undead army stands motionless behind the flaming trench. One wight steps calmly forward into the trench, falling forward. Then another joins him, and another still. They pile on top of one another at a quickening pace.
—--------------
Davos watches as the undead sacrifice themselves, one by one. He realizes that they are forming a bridge of corpses. Other groups of undead tumble into the trench, building other pathways with their bodies. Arya and Davos watch silently. Dutifully, the wights fall like dominoes until they have spanned the trench.
Davos shouts, “Man the walls!”
—-----------
A soldier shouts, “Man the walls!” The first wave of undead forge across the corpse bridge.
Another soldier shouts, “Man the wall!”
Lyanna shouts, “Man the walls! Come on!” Soldiers hustle to obey the command. Jamie looks up, then moves to action. Jorah grabs Sam and drags him towards the battle.
Lyanna shouts, “Get out there! Get moving!”
Jamie shouts, “Come on! Come on! Come on! Go, go, go!”
Brienne shouted, “Come on!”
Soldiers fire arrows at the approaching ghouls. The undead pour across the corpse bridges and set upon the walls.

Riding Rhaegal, Jon watches the onslaught as the undead army restarts their siege. Hearing flapping above, he looks upwards and sees Tyrion on Viserion hovering.
Down below the Night King astride his undead horse rides over the bridge of undead with other White Walkers. The ready spears to throw up at Rhaegal. Jon spurs Rhaegal and they fly away. They aim at Viserion and Tyrion and narrowly miss him.
—------------
The undead reach the exterior wall of Winterfell and press themselves against en masse. Flaming arrows zip down from the ramparts.
A soldier shouts, “They're against the wall!”
Another soldier shouts, “Get more men up here!”
Brienne sprints through the yard. Jamie runs up the stairs to the ramparts, ushering soldiers to take position.
A soldier shouts, “Fill the gaps, quickly!”
Jamie shouted, “Get in there!”
Another soldier shouts, “They're climbing the walls!”
Jamie shouts, “Relieve the archers!”
A soldier shouts, “Relieve the archers!” The soldiers and archers jostle and trade places.
Jamie shouts, “Archers on top!”
A soldier shouts, “Move up!”
Jorah ascends the stairs, two at a time. Sam follows.
Soldiers shout out, “Go, go! Come here! Come on!”, “Move back!”, “Stand away!”, “Go on, go on.” Jorah helps to shepherd the transitions.
Jorah shouts, “Go! Go.”
A soldier said, “Step back.”
Another soldier shouts, “All the way, archers!”
Jorah looks down at the undead horde. They are piling on top of one another, creating a ramp for others to ascend to the top of the wall. They snarl and scramble with relentless energy. Jamie looks down at them.
