DiscussionMake sure you have a good enough communication system to rouse the army at a moment's notice. Be visible in your guarding (unless you are plotting a ruse). When the enemy sees you are not alert, they will be far more likely to attack. When they see you alert, they will be more likely to retreat. Being led into an ambush should never happen. Yet chasing those who run away is a natural reaction and undisciplined soldiers may easily do this. You can outwit ambushers by encircling them with a wider net, getting higher than them or having a punch force ready to break their traps. See also
