Overview
Most of the archers came down from the Hill of the Archers to collect the spoils in the Battle of Uhud. A gap opened, which allowed the horsemen of Khalid ibn al-Walid to outflank the army from behind. 1
The details are in the source on pages 263–264. The names of the commanders and the number of the archers are not given in the data and need an additional source.
