The king doesn’t seem to have that many horses or men.
Those are only the leaders, the others are watching far back.
I don’t know, my mom told me they all pitched in on this effort.
We probably have not appreciated how few horses and people can crowd around a dying being to render aid.
One of the key failures of the Humpty Dumpty plan was allowing the horses to go first. This is because the horses didn’t have access to thumbs.
Berserk reference?

Humpty Dumpty is a character in an English nursery rhyme, probably originally a riddle, and is typically portrayed as an anthropomorphic egg, though he is not explicitly described as such. The first recorded versions of the rhyme date from late eighteenth-century England and the tune from 1870 in James William Elliott’s National Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs.[1] Its origins are obscure, and several theories have been advanced to suggest original meanings. The rhyme is listed in the Roud Folk Song Index as No. 13026.
The rhyme is well known in the English language. The common text from 1882 is:[4]
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
