This is an easy quest when you get hold of it.

The Argent crusade camp is located south of the Corp'rethar gate.

The commanders are just like fighting a NPC valiant or player at the Argent tournament grounds. Keep up Defend. Take down his shield with Shield break. Charge and thrust! Rinse and repeat. Tip: take the one with the weakest defence around him (3 red shields)

The gargoyle scouts are easy but annoying. Hit them 2 times with shield break and they die, but they have a fast spawn rate.

The Boneguard footmen: There is alot of them, they look scary, the spawn fast, and still they're not a problem. As the quests says:"Do not fear the masses of boneguard footmen, <name>, for they can easily be trampled under your horse's hooves" You simple have to ride into them and you get the kills.

The catapults can be taken down from range with Shield break. They cant attack themselves and they wont agro anything else when they get hit so just spam shield break.

The location of the camp is 49, 71.

For those having trouble with the Boneguard Lieutenant, choose the ones that spawn with the red shield, as they only have 75k HP, which can be effectively taken down with 4 shield break + 1 charge. If you go for the the ones with green shield up, they have 250k HP.

When I did it just now, the 75k HP ones seems to be spawning up front, and the spawn rate was pretty quick.

If you jump while close to a gargoyle after using Shield-Breaker, you can use Thrust on them, effectively 2-shotting them.

Just discovered that if you're not on the quest, you won't be able to see the camp or the mobs and thus, unable to assist anyone who is on the quest. The entire thing is phased for the quest, it seems.

Ok, as a lvl 85, I had a harder time than I expected. It really isn't hard, IF you know what you are doing.
So I am posting this on all the (alliance) factions "At the Enemy's Gate" as I had to read through all of them to figure this quest out.

FLY to the camp in the citadel. DO NOT try to ride there. It is just north of the area shaded on your map.
Mount up on one of the warhorses.
Get your shield up.

The flying gargoyles (Scouts) are actually pretty easy.
Either 2 shots of Shield Breaker, or 1 shield breaker and 2 Thrust (Lance).
Do these either before or after the Lieutenants, it wont really matter.
There are a lot of them off by themselves to the eastern side of the camp.

When doing the Lieutenants -- DO NOT GO FOR COMMANDERS (MY MISTAKE)
The commanders and lieutenants look the same except for the color of their floating shields.
The commanders have green floating shields - BAD
The lieutenants have red floating shields - GOOD

Ride south out of the camp, toward the main gate, using the ice in between the roads to avoid Commander mobs. I wasn't aggroing anything. If you do, they should be gargoyles and footmen - easy to kill.
You will start to see Lieutenants (RED shield), and Commanders (Green Shield), and Footmen in a massive formation.
You may need to kill a few footman on the flanks before you are close enough to kite a Lieutenant. Ride over the footmen on your mount. Kite the lieutenant using Shield Break. They will be defenseless.
When you kite the Lieutenant, about 4 - 6 footmen will come also, just ride over them.
Stay close to the Lieutenant and keep using thrust and you should get the Lieutenant pretty quickly, heal if you need to (I like my mount at 100 % but it isn't necessary), and repeat 2 more times.
You should get the 3 Lieutenants, and the 15 Footmen in this fashion. You may need to kill one more Lieutenant to get all the Footmen, but it wont be hard.

The Commanders - the dudes with GREEN Shields are incredibly difficult (Impossible for me) to kill.
AVOID THEM AT ALL COST.

If you are an 85, don't even bother with the lance and stuff. Just go in there and kill them. You get credit either way and for me was much easier. As said earlier, be sure and avoid the Leutenents (sp.) with green shields up.

It says that you have to equip a lance and get on the horse and i did and thought that it would be a long killing spree to do it like that so, I just got off of the horse and started killing the things that i was suppose to. So you dont have to do all the other stuff. Just go out there and start killing. :-)

Trivial at 90, no need to use the lance and mount at all unless you want practice with them, but you'll need ranged attacks for the gargoyles. Be sure to fight the Lieutenants (red shields) and not the Commanders (green shields).

Comment by RolandAllen

As of now, you don't need to use a Lance and mount a Warhorse to get kill credit, you can simply kill the listed NPCs.
Kill the whole pack (the 4 accompanying Boneguard Footman too), not just the Boneguard Lieutenant for a faster respawn.

Description

Even as we ready for the tournament, Argent Crusade forces prepare the way for an assault on the enemy's stronghold of Icecrown Citadel.

In the Court of Bones in southwestern Icecrown, a few brave crusaders have set up a forward camp on the southern side of Corp'rethar. Equip your lance and mount the stabled campaign charger at the camp, then destroy the Lich King's minions.

Do not fear the masses of boneguard footmen, <name>, for they can easily be trampled under your horse's hooves.
