A laudable goal, but don't put too much effort into it.

If my players announced a plan like this in one session, by the time they actually got to the next one it would probably have morphed into a plan to get help from another kingdom entirely, or skip over the king and offer bribes to his military commanders, if not something totally off the wall like infect their own army with lycanthropy or forgetting about a clash of armies and sneaking into the enemy's country to paint insulting murals on all his castles, which will surely inspire a revolution.
