In briefanswer capsule

Between Ginglith and Narog lies the open ground of Tumhalad. There Orcs shoved the retreating fighters of Nargothrond after Glaurung joined the assault, and the elven force was trapped. Orodreth died at the front; Gwindor, Guilin's son, was hurt past cure. Túrin, shielded by a dwarf-mask against the dragon, took Gwindor up and carried him clear of the crush into woodland.
