Roman had been on this land for the fourth year.
This year, winter lingered a little longer.
A huge army, and another even larger army, had moved toward each other as if by a silent agreement.
Field combat!
Without key terrain features or defensive architecture to rely on.
Whatever form the war took—maneuver warfare, guerrilla warfare, raiding, or ambush—although these are different tactics, they could all be categorized as field combat.
There were only two goals in tactics.
One was to preserve oneself, and the other was to annihilate the enemy.
During the battle with the nobles' coalition, Roman also hoped to employ some tactics.
However, at that time, the soldiers' quality was not up to standard.
If you commanded them to feign a retreat, they would turn it into a real defeat, beyond recall, and even if you managed to call them back, it would take half a day to regroup—a what kind of army could you count on that?
