Going over my copy of Return of the King, it looks like there was a desperation attack on Osgiliath. Although it doesn't read as much as a rout as it was portrayed as in the movie. It was more of an attack-and-fade, to slow the crossing and buy more time before the attack on Minas Tirith.
Oh, and this is my 500th post, and I get... absolutely nothing. 100 more...
