To confront such a large army in the open would be foolhardy and reckless. But there are always ways to stack the deck in your favour if one knows what he is doing.
The forest will offer such an opportunity; to join up with his brother, Konrad needs to march his army through a very long and, at some places, very narrow piece of woodland trail. It would be trivial for one such as you to swerve ahead, set up a trap, and spring it.
Like a huntsman setting up a snare for his prey. You would first blend into the forest and send out scouts and rangers to stalk and reconnoitre the exact movements and positions of Konrad's army before cutting them off. There were thankfully enough opportunities to be had; at a particular narrow and unsavoury part of the road, you could cut them off for a while with some tree trunks before moving to do as much damage as possible.
If things were to get too hot, you could simply melt into the forest to regroup. Their cavalry couldn't hope to pursue as effectively as per usual. Not in comparison to an open field.
For the purposes of this operation, you had changed your cloak from bright blue for a dark drab green one. Watching as your man hacked away at the trees intended to be used as blockers. Ideally you would attack during the twilight hours, though this being summer, that would be later than ideal.
There were two main points of contention. The first one was whether you should spring the trap right away or wait until Konrad can be cut off. Waiting could be risky, though doing it right away could expose you to the entire army.
The other main dilemma was whether the cavalry should remain mounted; obviously, riding a horse through thick foliage is asking for trouble. Enough people have died while galloping through the woods, including your mother's father. Besides that, the horses could break their legs if one wasn't careful.
