ABSTRACT

Whenever infantry units engage chariot or cavalry forces in combat, they must rely upon mounds and hills, ravines and defiles, forests and trees in order to be victorious. If they encounter level, easy roads they must deploy into a square formation and erect palisades around the perimeter. When the horses, baggage wagons, and infantrymen are all inside, the infantry forces should be divided into holding and assault forces. While the holding forces defend the formation, the assault forces should go forth to engage the enemy in combat. When the assault forces defend the formation, the holding forces should go out to fight.
