There's no "want" about this. They find the east quadrant of the city is demolished, and easy for troops to be allowed in, but the only inhabitants are the sick, and the bridge between the two quadrants is broken. The locals are held away at a good distance, and avoided, though a few attempts to yell for a "local leader" are made.

The army gets to work surrounding the area around the bridge, and fixing the thing to the extent that it's safe to carry the entire army over. They already have a local leader, the broken part is closer to the west side (by design), and Ithilien still has soldiers surrounding the east half of Osgiliath, and even if you were to slaughter every last one of them, all it would do is wear down your army's size.
