Probably standard to have peasants fall back to the city and gear up for siege mentality. I don't think the commanders would risk dividing their forces until they'd beaten back the main assault. The logistics of this are a bit tricky.
Assuming Darkshire's relatively medieval and not fully self-sustaining, they'd have outlying lands, and some people would generally be too stubborn, would be the idea.
The commanders aren't really what's intended to be drawn out - the aim is to mess with the less "regular" forces - I.E certain primes, what with their flagrant independence and in some cases, strong moral codes - as well as secondaries that aren't acting under or outright defying orders. Taking advantage of the fact that everything in the Omniverse isn't quite organized.
Besides which, How ready is the general Darkshire public, at this point? As far as I understood it, particularly going off of Ash's post, only the military even knows of the threat now, and they probably haven't known for very long. If the townspeople are still relatively oblivious, then I can't imagine the refugees have started piling in.
Edit: should be noted, if we're going by the earlier 30k People in darkshire, you'd need somewhat over 150 miles of farmland to support that population. Unless darkshire's a lot smaller than we thought, or Omniphysics has made basic necessities a lot easier (Something I haven't seen very much so far), Darkshire's probably got a lot of rural area it has to be exploiting.
