This "outer wall" is called "Rammas Echor" by the men of Gondor.
Ultimately, the destruction of the wall worked against the forces of Evil, for the horse riders of neighboring Rohan rode through the broken wall two days after the battle began and attacked from behind, while the men of Minas Tirith defended the fortress, and the Evil army was caught in between.

For a moment he just gazed at the beauty of the sight, and then kicked his heels to Anarlëo's side, and together they flew down the road, eating up the few remaining miles to the White City.
As he passed through the Rammas Echor, Elladan began to see the fading remains of the devastation left some years before by the armies of Sauron.
The plain was still pock-marked and flened, and here and there were still pieces of armour, rusting on the ground where their wearers had fallen.

Gandalf passed now into the wide land beyond the Rammas Echor.
So the men of Gondor called the out-wall that they had built with great labour, after Ithilien fell under the shadow of their Enemy.
In place of Tolkien’s pastoral townlands, protected behind the expanse of the Rammas Echor (pelennor, after all, is Sindarin for “fenced land”), there is a semi-arid plain—and this leading down to the banks of the greatest river in Middle-earth, the Anduin.

\par The Witch King of Angmar and the Armies of Morgul had overrun Faramir's small garrison at Osgiliath, captured the causeway between the defensive wall known as Rammas Echor and the River Anduin, and pursued the tattered remnants of Faramir's rangers ba ck to the great city itself.
The reason for this is that this battle is perhaps the best known of all fantasy clashes, and as such it is virtually impos\-sible to simulate the surprise of Aragorn's corsair ships when most players will be expecting his arrival.
The Rammas Echor counts as an obstacle with a stan\-dard'/2\_ move reduction to cross.

Only the Rammas Echor, the outer defense works of Minas Tirith, stood in their way.
With only the slightest of pauses in the advance, the Rammas, which had been constructed and maintained at great effort and cost, was blasted open far and wide.
