Nine guns cover the approach while infantry occupy the protected line in front. The deployment is adjusted until the artillery can fire over those troops without hitting or masking them. This arrangement protects the infantry advantage from the opposing guns and secures the edge of the position. Concealed troops can place obstacles without becoming visible, turning the wooded flank into a cavalry trap. Fieldworks, firing arcs, concealment, and troop placement work as one defensive system.
