I havent read the Conan the Barbarian story cbux refers to so I cant dispute what he says - if the names the same hes probably right. However when I first heard this, it reminded me of the Battle of Blackwater Bay in Game of Thrones. Seems to match up pretty well. And since To Take the Black is about Game of Thrones, why not this one? Here is the parts that stick out to me:
By the Beating of Drums - Stannis' army beat drums as they approached on ship
at the bidding of the high priest - the fire priest Stannis obeys (worships lord of light)
Evil sorcery is unleashed Upon the opposite shore - The wildfire that destroys the ships
Make your stand with great hound - The Hound (Clegane) led the charge for the city (before deserting)
