This one is hard. You have to run away as Bruce himself, and all the enemies are way more powerful than you. Also when you start, you already get slowed down as you are hit by a longbow. Does anyone have a guide to how to do it without spamming drums?

I am stuck here too. Tried a few things but so far no luck. It seems you also need a general stationed in the city in order for the map to keep expanding, so only 2 generals can try and run away and they get surrounded pretty quickly. Sad but it looks like I need higher level troops + war drum spam. I guess I will stay stuck here for quite a while.
Unless there is some sort of clever trick but not obvious.

It wasn't that hard for me. Just run away as fast as you can with bruce and protect him from the enemy. They will just run past the city you must hold so one gen and perhaps couple war drums will do.
Then just make a wall in front of Bruce with the rest. Damage is not important here, favor gens who are as resilient as possible and/or have skills like cnuts damage reduction thing, interception, Li Jing shied skill etc. to hold off the enemy.
I have few iaps though... it's surely harded for f2p. But with that strategy and some more war drums should do.

Just did it now (f2p). Pretty much like conkueror said.
Basically I used my 2 tankiest / resilient gens (cnut and timur), left cnut in the first city, and got bob and timur to run away, with defensive war gear.
I have now upgraded my bob the bruce so it helped a lot… and also the 20 or so war drums lol. Don’t think I could do it without the war drums, bob would just die too quickly.

Else, you can put three kheshigs on bruce and one kheshig on a gen with rapid march (I used narses with one kheshig and two defence infantry)
Then, you run away while your third unit stays in the city (used timur)

Rant within. It's a clear War Drums-only / IAP (but possibly still require War Drums) battle.
Went with the Keshig route and it would've worked if fleeing was the only requirement.
You are faced with a nasty surprise of one ambush waiting at the last column. One reinforced mixed inf-archer unit sits in the middle, right on the target.
I don't know if ET changed the requirements or if it was fixed but you'll NEED a gen to camp inside the yellow halo cities closest to the east until the next city shows up. Worse yet, the AI are programmed to swarm Robert the Bruce.
We start with Robert in the middle, flanked by two green circles (filled with your best). Holding the first city will allow for two columns to be unlocked per turn. Your Keshig can finally outrun the English? Too bad. ET wants Robert to be "unhorsed" at least thrice even though Aymer wasn't disabled even once. Once the danger has passed, move your guardian and harass the enemy rear. Try to link him/her with the fleeing "phalanx". I used Timur's active whenever possible to disable any legion with one longbowman. At the second city, two green halos will be available behind it. Repeat until the third is revealed. Upon occupying the third city, the last column will be revealled and the ambush troops will attack. Circle Yelu Dashi around the ambush and occupy the target using Infiltration.
The secret no one asked for: A potential F2P win without the use of War Drums. Keyword: Suppression and Infiltration. (Probably with Interception). Gens used: Sunicas, Timur, Yelu Dashi, Robert the Bruce (3× low-lvl Keshigs) and Alexios I. War Gears: the anti-cav one with reduction in charge effect plus one lvl 2 tent, probably to Robert's detriment. You must keep someone beside Robert. This will effectively draw some fire (especially longbow fire) away. Also, watch out for the terrain. |

I manage to finish this(f2p) by having robert the rapid march skill with a kheshig unit. That the time i don't have whipping gem, maybe add if you have it.
The key is have someone defend the city. Another accompany bruce till end.
Also prepare for that circle target ambush.
Key: wardrums. High lvl units. Generals.
I only finish normal.

    Proof of a Hard mode clear without war drums. War gears used: 3× lvl 3 anti-cav stakes on the starting three. Probably 2× lvl 3 anti-inf caltrops on Alexios I and Yelu Dashi. The 3× Keshig route (I used gems for the Keshig dmg up skill as well) is a guaranteed success. I kept him with this lineup since the Normal version and cleared everything up to this point without War Drums. |
