Deployed the entire cavalry force at the center of formation and surged them forward towards the opponent's lines to harass and draw them out. Plan executed perfectly, used a feigned withdraw from enemy position and induced a mass pursuit into the deep of the dell.
Deployed significant ranged and skirmish infantry on the right flank concealed by shrubs and partial forest, as well as LOS due to heightened elevation. Upon most of the opponents crossing into the dell, the trap was sprung and concealed ranged and skirmish infantry were deployed in position to form 3/4 of a encirclement, with constant ranged fire into the center on opponent positions.
Opponent attempted several times to reform lines within the encirclement, but broke under intense ranged fire and futile attempts to break through the perimeter.
Cavalry were redeployed towards the far end of the encirclement and helped lead a charge into the center with other skirmishing infantry, which led to almost the total destruction of the opposing force.
