B

[Kashyyk]

How many men do we have? I'm inclined to go for B though, given no further information.

[Haspen]

Twice their numbers, 1/4 of it cavalry.

[heydude6]

I vote for C. If we leave half our men at Lech, then that would mean we would give up our numbers advantage which would give the enemy cavalry a chance against us. And the last thing we need to do is lose against the cavalry.

[Harry Baldman]

I'm liking C, you don't really need to put several thousand people in your fortress to make it an effective stopping point for besiegers.

[Kashyyk]

I vote for C. If we leave half our men at Lech, then that would mean we would give up our numbers advantage which would give the enemy cavalry a chance against us. And the last thing we need to do is lose against the cavalry.

Agreed, switching my vote to C as well. If he finds out that we're with the army as well, he'll be more likely to attack it in the hopes of a decisive victory.

[NUKE9.13]

Yeah, yeah. This is working. Sort of.
inb4 the guy from 'the senate' was actually working for Wrex, this is all an elaborate trap, and he isn't even with the cavalry
Anyway, smashing their cavalry is a good idea even without the plan, as getting a cavalry advantage can make up for our smaller numbers (to a degree). And even a small garrison should be able to hold down the fort for a while. It's a good fort. It'll take them a while just to construct the necessary siege weapons to assault it. In theory.

You take most of your Army out of House of Lech and march northwards with haste to catch up with the raiding cavalry.

After three days, you receive news that Damdamian foot army has begun the siege of House of Lech with some ineffectual catapult fire.

The next day, your scouts report that the Damdamian cavalry is on the plains in front of you; flanked by the hills on west and east, they will either flee northwards or turn around and face you soon. Your commanders ask you for the battle tactic, if you have any.

A) "Now we set up camp and wait for them to come!"
B) "I shall charge with the cavalry and draw them to our archers and soldiers here!"
C) "Onwards! It is the last few hours of Wrexus Magnibus' pitiful life!"
D) "I am a King, not an Army commander. I leave the battleplan to you, my officers."

[Harry Baldman]

C seems like the best idea, try and crush them or alternatively drive them deeper into enemy territory with an overpowering advance.

[flazeo25]

C

[NUKE9.13]

Okay. So.
A is out- they have no reason to attack us. They can just wait for reinforcements.
B might work. It depends on how reckless Wrex is, whether he can rein in his cavalry from chasing after ours when it 'flees'.
C seems like the best battleplan. A slowly advancing line of heavy infantry, flanked on either side by hills, will leave the cavalry with little room to maneuver. We make best use of our superior numbers this way. If they flee, they only separate themselves further from their reinforcements, and move further into hostile territory. Eventually they will hit the capital, and be stuck between its walls and our army.
On the other hand, we don't have no martial trait. Maybe the wise course of action is to leave this decision to the experts? They have been briefed on our tactical objectives, so they should choose the best course of action to achieve them.
Therefore I am going to go with

D

With a potential switch to C if A or B are winning.

[Kashyyk]

D, for pretty much the same reasons Nuke has given.
