The Crucial Conjunction of the Seerah

In the entire seerah there is nothing as dangerous as critical as this particular point in time. The people of thought if were nasty and mean they were vicious brutal and cruel but they weren't planning to kill the Prophet ﷺ Whereas here this is war this is an open battle no whole's barred and there is no protection after Allah then sad and thal-hahah. They began using their bows and arrows against the enemy coming up so we can assume by now perhaps the Prophet had reached the cave because again we don't know when exactly he reached the cave.
