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

Pale swords were drawn; but I know not whether their blades would still bite, for the Dead needed no longer any weapon but fear."

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.
