WIth Georgine about to launch her attack at Ehrenfest, I would expect her to either reduce the guards or withdraw them entirely, to have more forces for the attack.

And with how well of an impression Ferdinand made in Ahrensbach, contrasted to how Detlinde is viewed, I would not be the least bit surprised, if any small contingent of guards that remains at the country gate, would just surrender, once they see a combined Ehrenfest and Dunkelfelger force bearing down on them, or maybe even join them, once they're told what happened.

Even if Georgine put some of her more trusted (or most thoroughly brainwashed) people at the country gate, I very much doubt they can even slow down Aub Dunkelfelger and Rozemyne, plus a host of very eager and capable Dunkelfelger Knights and a furious Eckhart, but I doubt even she foresaw the possibility of an attack from outside the country.
