So Will and Horace are in Nejon Ja and are in a run down fortress and are expecting to be attacked at the end of the Winter because the enemy cannot get to them because they way is blocked by snow and ice. All they have are some untrained natives to protect themselves and the emperor whose warlords turned against him because he was working to raise the natives who were with him at that moment to have greater rights. Then Will remembers a training and fighting style that was easy to master and was based on working as a unit not as a individual, which is the way the enemy fought. So Will used his past experience to help them train the natives quickly and helped them win. That was why I believe it is beneficial to use your past experience which leads me to the conclusion.
