On defense or offense the same plan...defeat the initial army and rout them off quickly, while setting up to destroy any reinforcements. In my experience you must kill the enemy taisho to create a bad enough morale to keep the new units routing quickly.


If you only have a total of 3k troops, you're in trouble. He can lose every battle and whittle you down to nothing. Build more troops so you can replace your losses quickly.

Go around his large force and take any land you can from him. Even if you have to give it back you can still destroy buildings and set him back that way.

Send a LOT of shinobi into a single province to start revolts and draw troops away from the front. Even if he puts down the revolts he still destroys infrastructure in those provinces.

Hope this helps...
