I will primitively describe some general's/country's strategy and you should guess who is he or what country is it.
>retreat
>don't give general battle
>retreat
>retreat
>now when enemy is our heartland and on the steps of one of the two largest cities of our country we should finally give general battle.
>get wrecked, retreat from battlefield, abandon your wounded on the battlefield
>enemy now can take city
>not so fast my friend - city's governor burning it to the ground, wounded and sick get roasted.
>enemy takes the city, it is worthless now
>enemy must retreat form this pile of ashes because winter is coming and other side will not surrender.
>use scorched earth tactics
>use rat tactics - raid supply train and separated weak units.
>reports of cannibalism

>enemy commands a bigger army and he holds a hilltop fort
>you know that second enemy's army can arrive at any moment
>you can't attack enemy, because he holds hilltop fort and have bigger numbers, so he will cut you to pieces if you storm his position.
>you can't lay down a long siege and starve enemy to death because enemy's reinforcements will arrive anytime
>mediocre general would have only one option in this situation - retreat
>not so fast my friend
>our madman builds inward facing walls, encircling the enemy, then he builds walls facing outward

>you arrive to siege a city
>you don't have many water and food
>enemy ordered to poison wells and cut down trees outside the city
>so you can't lay down a long siege
>you ask advice of local hermit on how to take the city
>he tells you that your army must walk barefoot around the city and sing religious songs
>seems legit
>after doing so, attack walls of the city but enemy draws you back
>oops now you probably die from starvation or dehydration
>but allied ships arrive
>you take supplies and strip down the ships from wood to build siege towers
>assault city again successfully this time.

>your country was attacked by the biggest and most powerful country of that time
>your country is small and has ten times smaller population than enemy's country/
>you are 21 years old, you were given all authority to save the country
>you follow a simple strategy: "We can die in the last ditch"
>but enemy's army is too powerful and goes through your country heart and only one day away from your biggest city
>ok, you cut the dikes, sea rolling in and the city previously almost defenseless, now became and island
>meantime, you persuade other countries to help you by the argument, that your enemy is threat to all of them and they are impressed even more that your tiny country successfully resisting this war machine

>you divide your army in two, the biggest army will draw all attention, while the other will try to siege enemy stronghold to gain access to the sea.
>you are failing ito establish a successful siege, because you lack skillful engineers
>besides you don't have a navy, so enemy freely brings supplies by water
>your command structure lacks of hierarchy, so generals can't agree with each other
>2 unsuccessful assault attempt
>fuck, someone who you have trusted betrayed you and gave enemy all your cards
>your troops also like to take a nap after lunch.
>fuck, they are killing us
>you have to retreat
>within 5 winter months you managed to build a navy to blockade that fucking fortress
>you are sending for engineers and shipbuilding masters
