True but to stop an avalanche would require a good deal of magic even for him.... Hopefully.

[X] Blow the Charges and Run!: You've destroyed the majority of the enemy force, but your forces are bloodied, exhausted and running low on ammo. And the worst of the enemy assault has yet to come. Blow the charges and have the Knights cover the retreat back to Lanner. You'll finish the enemy off when your forces are well rested and better supplied.

You know for the people thinking that retreating in the city is useful, well while we have advantages of defense it also means that we are not using the avalanche and will be fighting them in full numbers.
Add to that that we are allowing them to regroup and plan how to take the city.
In other hand if we use the avalanche we have the element of suprise on our side and are killing a good number of them.

Yeah, no. We can throw rocks, boulders, arrows, ballista bolts, fire, the kitchen sink, etc. behind the safety of some walls.

Hmm...
Alright, if we momentarily consider all of the mentioned 15 000 enemy combatants to be somewhere around our own elites in quality...
Oh damn, that would be a bloody melee.

Assuming that he will continue on with his forces mostly lost, he might retreat and come back again, then we will have a bloody war that some people talk about instead ending it here and now.
The thing is next time they appear we will have done some preparations of our own.
Best case scenario, possibly have contacts with a friendly shogunate/empire of Neighpon.
Of course, worse case we will be dealing with a violent conquering shogunate/empire attacking about the same time as Sombra returns, so...

Name: Garrick Golden-Feather
Age: 39
Titles: Emperor of Gryphus, King of Griffonia, Inheritor of the Imperial House of Gryphus, The Unifier, Great Winged Alpha
Description: At first glance, you seem like a pretty average example of the Griffon race. Head of an eagle, body of a winged lion, standing perhaps a hair taller than most other quadrupedal species. It's not until one looks closer that they see the things that distinguish you from a crowd. An unmistakably masculine build, a strong, prominent beak, feathers and fur that seem to be perpetually well-groomed, and a pair of piercing amber eyes hiding a fierce intelligence. But you're no peacock, only known for your good looks; your talons are razor sharp, and though you are not as strong as your wife, you are still an apex predator, and your musculature reflects that. Your wife's workout regimen has also improved your physique, cords of taut muscle now visible across your body.

And he will make his own preparations as well wich will only have us clash again and cause even more deaths.
If we don't take initiative now we will have this war drag on for years.

But is the avalanche worth the traps, walls, restocked munitions and rested troops?
If we stay we're betting EVERYTHING on the outcome of our trump card. if the avalanche is countered, or even just not effective enough...
On the other hand if we retreat our next fight will be far easier (if Sombra follows us)
Or we'll have time to prepare if he gives up and goes back (unlikely).
If he retreats (which i think is unlikely) we'll have years to improve our army and find more allies. We'll also be able to spy some more, find what his actual population base is.
Unless Sombra invents/ discovers a cloning spells it will take him a lot to replace 85.000 soldiers. Also to equip them.

And what makes you think that by hiding behind some walls is gonna make this easier on us he could very well have something just for that.

He still has magic and we don't even know how does he makes his elites, and there is equal possibility of us finding more enemies as much as us finding more allies.
At the moment it seems that he sees us as an easy conquest, next time he will prepare better .

S-s-smell the Prey, S-s-start the Hunt.
Keep in mind we've decimated his slave army, and magic or no I doubt he has the mojo to raise all of them and keep his little pets in line. Not to mention the fact we're about to drop a mountain on his damn head.
Make no mistake, we've done grievous damage to his army, but he's done just as much to our own. Fighting him head on would just be throwing our troops into a meat grinder with no guarantee of the success of such a move.
First rule when fighting a Chaos Sorcerer, always assume they have a bullshit ace in the hole.
He did not live this long or amass this much power by betting all his bits in single hail mary's.
Drop a mountain on him, force him to expend that energy to keep himself from being turned into a pancake and then fight him from a defensible position where he can't simply drown us in numbers.
Teleportation might be a problem we have to deal with, but that's going to be either himself or his elite troops for a deep strike insertion, not an entire army ready and willing to pull a resident evil and cover us in screaming corpses.
