So, I've just about reached the first large scale siege/battle and I'm wondering how I should write it.
I have five main characters participating in the combat, two of them less so, with a large army at their back. (The main character's don't command the army)
The other side, a massive army with a few captains and a commander all of which fight.
I know what I'm doing in terms of the main characters and their combat, but what about the surrounding battle. How can I keep it in the readers minds that the main characters aren't the only ones fighting, and that it is a large battle.
Thanks, any advice would be appreciated.
