At least in the movie they quite literally fought for Gondor. In the books, they just kill some corsairs far away from Minas Tirth.
In the books, I don't believe they kill anyone - or can. They basically just scare off the corsairs so the rest of gondors army can join the main battle. So ops point is kinda moot
E: I guess it's a little ambiguous
I don't think that's too ambiguous. I read it exactly the way you put it.
Basically "idk if their weapons work but it doesn't matter they don't need them" so if they don't need the swords one would assume no-one is fighting them and just running like you said.
So I'm just here to second you.
