That's the beauty of the Bat being an aerial attacker. Unfortunately for the Lunars the breech it made was at the top of a vertical cliff and hence useless.
Now I have a weird idea. I wonder if Broyan gets the lost Black Beauty (the ram from the Whitewall Flock) to come and attack the Bat when the walls are threatened. At the very least he'd act as a distraction for it.
