Note: The requirement to earn the gold medal says that you must headshot every soldier blocking your way to Eagle Flies while infiltrating Fort Wallace, but it doesn't apply to cases where two soldiers stand in your way at the same time. In that case, Charles may kill one of them.

Sneak into the vicinity of the fort's gate. A patrol leaving the fort won't notice you and won't be a problem. Your first targets will be the two soldiers at the gate. Use the bow and headshot one of them.
