Note: Since it would be extremely tedious to roll for the individual actions of the tens of thousands of Orcs, I have instead placed them into a singular horde, who will attack when it's their turn in the initiative order. Also, since the common orc is so far below you that it would take a ridiculous amount of them to even present a medium challenge to this party, I'm largely ruling that they can be killed in one shot. That being said, if you decide to take that as an invitation to run right into the middle of the Orc hordes, you'll ******* die. You aren't so badass to where you can take on tens of thousands of Orcs yourself.
From the distance, you see large, flaming rocks come flying towards the city, some flying over the walls and into the city, starting fires, others smashing into the walls themselves, which are fortunately able to withstand the impact for now. You also spot siege towers, coming close to the castle walls.

Kashasaurus lowers her head and scoops Obsidian up into her saddle. She gives him a nod and lurches forward, letting out a bellowing roar. She'll chew and thrash at any tasty morsels that come too close to the walls.

Bixby ends up a near absolute pincushion of arrows, yet he fights on all the same. In shouting out a word of power over the cacophony, both he and Vastra's wounds began to mend. Then from the palm of his magic gauntlet, twin bolts of fire are shot at the mechanism of approaching seige towers, hoping to at least stall out some.
Bonus Action: Cast (4th level)Healing Word and twinned cast it, restoring 15 hp to Bixby and Vastra.
Action: Cast (Cantrip)Explosive Round and Twinned Cast on an Orc Horde Seige Tower joints of two different towers(to disrupt them). Attack: 27 Damage: 14 of Fire Damage on an Orc Horde Seige Tower("1). Attack: 19 Damage: 12 of Fire Damage on an Orc Horde Seige Tower("2).
The Orcs begin charging with ladders and grappling hooks, attempting to climb up the wall. The defenders are able to push them off, for now. The siege towers continue pushing along.
The catapults continue to fire at the walls of the city. One of the shots from the catapult does some damage to the section off the wall you're standing on. One of the catapults fires at Kashasaurus.
Kashasaurus, if she had the brains for it in Rex mode, would have dodged the catapult shot, but she was more animal than half elf right now, so Obsidian had to steer. But he swerved her right instead of left, so Kashasaurus got hit. It burned. If a cat could grimace, he did so as Kashasaurus's's head turned to look at him with a big green squinted eye.
Obsidian steered her towards some more tasty morsels.
