    By bringing quickly the men and resources needed at the border with little to no time for the defenders to prepare?

      Okay. But wouldn’t a road to the border be something thats guarded? Seems like if you want to sneak attack your enemy you would choose a less obvious route, like through the woods or placing a military bridge across a river, rather than down a road to the border.
