Besieging the Imperial Army Walkthrough

Objectives
1
Once the battle begins, send your allies towards the nearby enemies and begin engaging them. Jeralt's Mercenaries will appear to the south, but they will be inaccessible for the moment.
2 Defeat the archers. Don't worry about Ferdinand at the moment. He can't get away just yet.
Note that at this point, it's best to keep your allies closer to the center.
3
Once the archers are defeated, Bernadetta will begin sniping the field, causing area of effect attacks.
4
Bernadetta can be found in the Castle Ruins to the northwest of the map. If you chose the strategy to recruit her, this is your chance!
5
Quickly take her out and she will be recruited.
While you're fighting her, have your allies take over the other strongholds.
6
Jeralt and Alois will open the gates. Your allies should be nearby to quickly intercept and take them down.
With Shez likely being your most powerful character, keep them near the center.
7
Before you can defeat Jeralt and Alois, Byleth will appear. This begins an optional mission to take them down.
If you're not strong enough just yet, attack Byleth with multiple allies at your side.
8
Have at least one ally hold Ferdinand back in the south while you deal with Byleth. At this point, Pegasus Riders will join the fray, beginning an optional mission. Your allies should be close enough to take most of them out fairly quickly.
Having an Archer or Bow user is great for this side mission!
9
Help defeat Jeralt and Alois. By this time, you can use the Light the Beacon strategy to help give you the upper hand. This gives you more time to fight.
You should be able to finish off Jeralt and Alois at the same time as the Pegasus Knights!
10
If you haven't fought Byleth yet, this is your chance. Head to their location and quickly take them down. You'll need to break pots afterwards to compensate for any resources you use.
11
Focus your attention now on Ferdinand! But don't finish all your resources. He's not the final battle of this quest.
12
Once Ferdinand is down, Ladislava will come out to try and save the day. Unleash everything you have to defeat her! This will end the Quest.
