Oh, i just realized something. The way the soldiers speak about it, it seems the Stormcloaks have raided a Legion camp around Karthwasten, which, of course, had Nord soldiers based on (the entire war is Nord vs Nord). The Stormcloaks may have used guerilla tactics or greatly outnumbered the Imperials, so the soldiers call it a massacre.
