Attacking

The batshit insane motherfucker Austonio

Everything is copy/pasted verbatim.

Prologue
Christian Kenway left the library room about 30 minutes later, realizing that Cadwalader was right - they did have to work together. As he left the library, he saw Lloyd walking towards him from the direction of the dining room. He nodded towards Christian, and continues walking towards the library.

"You remember anything?" Kenway asks.

"Nope. I guess they don't want us telling. And perhaps they don't trust us to keep our word."

Lloyd continues into the library. Well, fine. Kenway thought, I guess "cooperating" doesn't mean "friendly."

''You're up, Tian. said the voice in his head. Leo's waiting in the dining room.''

Christian Kenway, slightly shaken by the use of his old name, continues to the dining hall, passing Celina as she makes her way back as well. They nod to each other as they pass, each wrapped up in their own thoughts.

Kenway enters the dining room, seeing Austonio prancing in through the other entrance, giggling uncontrollably.

"This will be so... much... FUN! I can't wait to burn your troops alive!" Austonio says, barely able to contain his glee.

Leolab, still in his robe, gestures to each of them to enter separate corridors. Christian Kenway walks through his and finds himself on the field of battle, in his tent.

General
Ranged Weapon- Hat-Based Flamethrower

Polearm- Guan Dao

Main Melee- Shortsword

Off-Hand- Flail

No info on single-combat.

Army
Tactics- After the odd circumstances that lead to his being put into power, Drayco has proceded to thoroughly confuse his foes by...having about as much clue about what he is doing as anyone else does, IE none. His seemingly random and completely batshit tactics leave enemeis confused, disoriented and make him near impossible to predict or react to...but it's hardly an efficient tactic. How he's won anything is anyone's guess.

Defending

3,000 Swordsmen, wears full body suit of iron armor and helmets painted weird colors.

3,500 Archers, wears light leather armor with the same quiver size as attackers (40 normal arrows & 10 flaming arrows).

1,000 dudes with hammers. Not warhammers, mind you, just small, normal-ass hammers. No armor.

10 cannons. They fire cannon balls. Somehow the cannonballs make fire when they explode.
