TheWoWDBLook directly south from where you get this quest and you will see a big mountain.
There is a mountain path going up this mountain.
At the bottom of the path is the Ramkahen Ranger Captain that you need to start the escort, he is with 4 other Rangers.The escort consists of being attacked a few times on the way up the mountain and is easy (ie-they can fight it out on their own, but you should help to speed it up).
Anyways, speak to the Captain and he will start the escort.

Actually, I tested your theory and your theory fails. You have to help them, or they will die and you must restart the quest.
If you spam click the ranger captain, you can get 2 or 3 times the people helping you.

StorylineUldum, step 46 of 101
Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP
Description
Neferset City is too well defended. The mountain next to it, however, is not. I've spoken to the ranger captain and he's willing to take a handful of his men and secure the strategic mountaintop. There is one catch, {name}. He agreed, but only if you would spearhead the attack with them. It must be a small group, else we'll draw the enemy's attention too soon, but trust me... the rangers of Ramkahen are as tough as they come. With you by their side we'll surely succeed.

I will not lie to you, <name>. We face a tremendous challenge ahead of us. As you go behind the enemy lines into Neferset City, I want you to bring back the insignia of any Neferset scum you defeat. It will be a boon to our armies to know that you've dealt a crushing blow to the enemy.

We are ready to strike now, <name>. If we take down Dark Pharaoh Tekahn, the immortal colossi will fall and our armies will be able to march into Neferset City. Seek him out and engage him without fear. I will make sure you're not alone when it's time to bring him down.
