Vladimir slipped off, running to the Solitude side gate, unlocking it.

(Gates are guarded and the lever to open/close the gate is logically on top of the walls. Vladimir would have entered the tower, walked up the steps to the wall, pull the lever and fight guards while doing so.)

(the bandits are very well trained, so Sorin can't massacre them like he did for the reachmen)

(The Reachmen were trained.)

(I'll assume the legion is so shocked by the audacity of the attack that all their forces immediately went for the bandits at the gate. The commander will realize his fatal mistake like in five minutes, too late since Ancarion's plan is a clockwork crocodile.)

(The Legion isn't shocked. They're trained to fight in battles like these. So is the City Guard.)

Ancarion immediately went for the Blue Palace, slaughtering the remaining guards and token legionnaires in his way, an easy task, for the city guard had grown complacent due to Solitude's peace. His men entered and they killed the housecarl and court wizard, Ancarion taking Elisif as a hostage as another held a blade at Falk Firebeard's throat. Ancarion quipped "Well, I want my money back. The peace is shattered, is it not?'

(The Blue Palace would have been locked and well guarded. Ancarion would have died if he was a normal bandit.)

(Your post isn't controversial, it's just absurd. Here's out it should have logically went: once the bandits attack the market, they're surrounded by the city guard. They kill the city guard and legionnaires but are shot by the archers. Leon wouldn't be able to enter the city and Ancarion and Vladimir would die. Fix this post. Also, next let me take control of the City Guard, Legion, Reachmen, etc. like I did during the Battle of Markarth so that when you attack, they don't fall like flies.)
