*(two small archery unit on my southern island at the bridge-end and at the shallow passage connecting the Northern with southern island, indicated by black stains)
Strategy:
The aim of my strategy is quite simple; capture the hill no matter the price and avoid unnecessary clashes.
The bulk of my army will head straightaway to the eastern island, with over 136,000 men, using the shortest route. Meanwhile, a small detachment of 10,000 beasts under Zeno’s lead will mask themselves as they move to the forest behind me and lie there in wait; these guys will ambush any forces crossing to my southern island, and in other words, watch out for the main army's back, or move across the bridge to the Northern island is no enemies are defending the bridge. Otherwise, they'll reinforce my main army at/near the hill late as the war develops. Another very small two archery unit very small 2000 Kyoeun archery units (instructed by Kyoueun but without Kyouen himself) will defend the shore and the bridge on my island (aka bait that would lure Zeno out).
As for my main army, it split into two as soon as they cross the river to the eastern island, GHM will head straight up the hill and capture it with 36,000 men while Riboku and the rest will block the incoming forces from the Northern island aiming for the hill - and that's his top priority -
Riboku shall split his forces to ensure no enemy will bypass him to the hill; He and Kashibo will defend the shallow passage to the island while Kyoueu such that he and Kashibo will block the shore near with 60,000 and Kyoeun will cover up the bridge beside it with Shin and 40,000 men. The employment in these two armies is subjected to change according to the pressure at either side, They will fight in coordination and work together to give GHM enough time for fortifying the hill.
Instructions:
Riboku:
* Plan out tactics to defend the hill dissolve Ouki and/or Moubu's respective armies and contain them for as long as possible.
* Spell out Zeno's plan to him such that he ambush the enemy's back successfully and be of a help in the bind.
GHM:
* Simply capture his hill, and might even detach his army or use any of his inventions to do so & hold the enemies from interrupting him.
Kyoeun:
* Snipe down Moubu or Ouki while he's busy engaging with Shin or Kaishibou.
* Prevent the enemies from crossing to the eastern island with a rain of arrows, and might distribute his archery units between himself and Riboku for this purpose.
Kaishibou:
* Might flank, ambush, bait Moubu all for holding him down.
* Be Riboku's right arm or Kyouen's copartner to take down one of the big fishes.
Zeno:
* Ambush the enemy's back at one of the routes drawn in my map with the aim to simply inflict utter destruction.
* Calm the fuck down until its time for his role.
Shin:
* Go against Gyou'un ( if near) with the aim to hold him down.
* Otherwise do whatever Riboko or Kyou'un ask from him.
