Why didn't the army of the dead go to Mordor?

First of all, the movie portrays it incorrectly. The Army of the Dead never went to Minas Tirith. They did, however, fight in two battles. First, as the Grey Company traveled into Gondor, they came across the men of Morthond fighting orcs for the Blackroot river. These orcs were killed. Then they went and destroyed the Corsair fleet at Pelargir. Here Aragorn released the Army of the Dead and let them rest in peace.


In Lord of the Rings whose horse was Hasufel?

Hasufel was a horse of the Rohirrim, ridden by Garulf of Rohan. After Garulf's death, Hasufel was loaned to Aragorn by Eomer in recompense for the accidental and only apparent slaying of Merry and Pippin by Eomer's riders. Aragorn rode Hasufel to find the hobbits taken by the orcs, and to Helm's Deep. There, Hasufel was returned to Eomer. From there, he was probably ridden to the battle in defense of Minas Tirith with the forces of Theoden.


How do you beat minas tirith?

In order to capture Minas Tirith, you would first have to break through their outer gate under a barrage of arrows. Once inside the main gate, you would still have to fight your way through legions of soldiers to the second gate. This pattern would continue up the tiers of the city until you finally reach the palace where you would encounter either the steward or king of Gondor, depending on the time period of your invasion. Such an attack would take hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so it might be best to send in the expendable, mutilated orcs first, followed by the more skilled and hardy Easterlings. A battering ram of substantial size will be needed to break through the main gate, but hammer wielding trolls will be sufficient for the inner gates.
