I will admit that the battle reports us northerners got sure didn't look pretty. But you have to admit, the results were impressive: Madina raids Aurvandil, and two Aurvandil regions go rogue. If they can duplicate those results a time or two more, Aurvandil will be history. 
Then again, if they moved out some troops to Candiels Fields at the same time you do, I doubt much would remain to loot anything after two defeats in a row.
