"General! What are your orders?" A Lieutenant asked.
Augustus looked around wondering where he was. He found himself standing infornt of a large map on a table surrounded by 5 men. They had different military uniforms. Showing their different ranks.
He looked down at his uniform and he was wearing a golden armor with red leather shorts for his bottom half of his body.

"I have had my concession put into a VR like game. No it's more like MMORPG game from my world. It's truly fascinating. " He was fascinated about the ability of the celestial system.
"It seems the game will place me in scenarios where I am the army general and should lead my soilder to victory or complete the objective." He thought after seeing the prompt.
Augustus has never had any experience leading soilders but he was a businessman and a chairman of a group. His leadership abilities where not horrible but he was inexperienced when it comes to soilders and war.
He had the hobby of playing chess since his childhood since that's the only game at the orphanage. He had read a few history books and learnt about someone wars from his country's history.
He was glad the game give him such a cheat code cause if he were to survive in such a world where it was all about war he would need a lot of experience and knowledge about war and how to lead soilders.
He would have faced such a problem and probably failed to finish even the second mission ending up in him dying young.
He tried remembering any war stories or historical records,he once read.
"State your ranks and your names plus your responsibilities." He asked as he looked at the men around the table.
"Aleta Jack.Lieutenant General. I am responsible for leading the charge." Answered the one close to him on his right side. Turing to the one on his left.
"Benard Thomas. Major General. I am responsible for the right flank." He answered.
"Richard Thomas. Major General. I am responsible for the left side." Said the one on the right side of Benard. They appeared to be too similar. Since they shared the same name he assumed their were twins.
"Adam Toure. Chief of scouts.I am responsible for scouting the enemy numbers and the terrain."
"Luke Jordan. Chief of logistics. I am responsible for the logistics and food of the army." Answered the last one.
"Good seems like everyone is in order. Chief Adam tell me about the terrain and the distribution of the enemy. Oh don't forget their supply line too." Said Augustus.
"General , Their army has a central army of 250,000 soilders. Their flanks each having 100,000 soilders. They have no reserve soilders. Plus 5,000 responsible for the safety of their food supply chain. Which seems to bring food from their south west city, Laura city.They are currently camped outside the valley and they seems to be tired from the long march hence I assumes they will charge tomorrow. The battle is most likely tomorrow." Replied Adam.
"Aleta. What are our numbers?"Augustus asked with a solemn expression.
"We have 200,000 soldiers in the central army and our flanks have 70,000 soldiers each. We have them on the top of the valley while the central army is the other end of the valley." He replied without much enthusiasm.
"Well that's the basically step up but to get an effective win we need another plan." He added.
"True. What we can do is basically retreat a few miles back and draw them into the valley. The central army can fight from the front while both flanks divide each other into two. Two halves should come from the back and close the exist point. The other should remain on the top of the valley and launch arrows." Suggested Augustus. As he knew this was a simple of taking advantage of terrain. and faking retreat and ambush combined.
"Do we have strong Calvary and what are there numbers?" He asked looking at the chief of staff,Luke.
"General, we have 50,000 green flame houses and elite trained Calvary." He replied.
"Great. Get them onto the top of each valleys. 25,000 on each side. I want one of the group at the middle of the valley and the last one should be the end of the valley." Augustus finished.
He started thinking more about his plan and what to change about it or evolve it.
"They should charge in using the arrow formation and climb up the other valley and descend again and keep repeating for 10 rounds and stop. After a brief rest they should repeat the circle till the war ends.We are also organizing a night raid. I shall let Aleta to lead 10,000 of his elite men to attack the left flank of the enemy as they sleep. He should only charge through and shouldn't stay back to fight. It's a simple night raid. Charge through their camp and come back to ours. Simple orders. You should coordinate with the twins so they can crisscross on the left flank's camp. I want it completely weaken. So badly tomorrow we can destroy them."Augustus said with a smile. He was happy with his plan and hoped to achieve his objective.
"A fine plan general.We shall get to it and follow the plan." Added the lieutenant general,Aleta Jack.
"Great. Get a good nights rest. Tomorrow is a big day ahead of us." He finished with the meeting with such words.
"May the War favor us."Replied Augustus as he watched his men leave the tent to prepare for tomorrow.
They battle proceed as planned. Augustus's plan at night was perfect. As their left flank soldier were deep asleep. The enemy lost nearly 35,000 soldiers in a night raid.
The following morning they charged through the valley due to anger. In the end they lost more than they should have. The battle ended in less than 6 hours.
The enemy lost 60% of their soldiers while Augustus lost 10% of his soldiers benefiting from the night raid.
