Again I think it is mostly about characters. If you really care for at lest one of the characters involved, you will automatically be drawn into the scene, because you have some emotional interest in the outcome.

Another point related to that would be to be detailed, especially regarding the people the reader is attached to. Describe in detail the fight in which you main character is involved, and draw a short, general overview of the rest of the battle.

If you have a group of people attacking, make sure it is "King Dredabloids horsemen" or "Baltrasims archers", not just "a large group of horsemen rode into the battle from the west flank." Attach it to someone whom the reader has an enotional attachment to.
