Eh, I personally think that without Team Evil Azure City would have a massive advantage. Firstly the beacons would be intact so they could have prepared more and called in reinforcements. Secondly no Redcloak means no breach so the hobgoblins would need to keep trying to climb the walls. The paladins might have joined the battle. And while that is no guarantee of a win it'd certainly be a vastly different fight.
