Lord of the North

Morale is very important on the battlefield, it can often determine the outcome of a war.

Therefore, before the two armies fight, the highest officer of the army will mobilize the whole army, and in some large-scale battles, the monarch of a country may visit the battlefield in person in order to encourage his own army.

Ordinary soldiers saw that their king was on the battlefield, didn't they all look like they were doped?

This is also the reason why some armies beat drums before battles to encourage our soldiers and suppress the morale of the enemy's troops.

Regarding morale tactics, there is also the charge of the heavy armored cavalry regiment. Facing the terrifying charge of hundreds of thousands of heavy armored cavalry, few soldiers have the courage to stand at the forefront without being frightened.

Often in the face of this kind of charge, many soldiers have already scattered and fled before they have come into contact with them head-on. Therefore, on some plain battlefields, a collective charge of large-scale heavy cavalry determines the direction of victory in a war.

It's a pity that the north of Lopez is not a plain area, and there is no suitable grassland, so Jason is not in a hurry to prepare the cavalry, but just made some preparations in advance.

If conditions permit, it is still necessary to raise such a troop. After all, having a heavy cavalry regiment is also a very strong deterrent.

But Jason actually paid more attention to the infantry regiment. After all, the infantry regiment was no weaker than the cavalry regiment when armed.

There is also a discussion with Fox before, whether it is possible to truly train an elephant army and put it into the battlefield.

"Knight Willis, we meet again."

On the battlefield, Gareth rode to the front of the army formation and shouted loudly towards the castle wall, the two of them had met in Irbia back then.

"There are only two choices in front of you now, either the city will be destroyed or the people will die, or you will open the door and surrender. Please consider it carefully."

Earl Diai's castle is much shorter than the castle of Iron Fang Town, almost ten meters high, only about two meters higher than the town's city wall.

Facing the well-equipped siege army led by Iron Fang, this city wall is of little use at all.

"Knight Gareth?"

Knight Willis took a step forward, looked down at the distant army and responded loudly, he was very invisible to this young man who held great power under Jason's hands.

"Stop talking in vain,

You will never break into this castle unless you step over my body. "

After saying this, he looked serious, put his helmet on firmly with both hands, and clenched the long sword in his hand, using his actions to show his determination to fight to the death.

"Even if you want to defend the glory and dignity of your lord, there is no need to drag the soldiers behind you to be buried with you, right? They also have their own homes..."

The long sword in Gareth's hand pointed at the many soldiers behind Knight Willis.

The expressions of those people were numb. After hearing Gareth's words, they moved their heads slightly and looked over.

But they are like some walking corpses, mechanically grasping the weapons in their hands, standing there as if silently welcoming their impending death.

"They are all the most loyal and powerful soldiers, and their names will be engraved on the pillars of Diai's history. Your scheming is of no use to us!"

Cavalier Willis didn't even look back, he was very clear about the state of these soldiers now.

So he interrupted Gareth loudly, if this continues, his army will be defeated without a fight.

"Soldiers of Diai Town!"

Gareth ignored his angry roar, but shouted at the soldiers on the city wall, and strengthened his voice with extraordinary strength: "You don't have to fight for the traitor Earl Diall!"

"Our lord is not a traitor!"

Knight Willis was terrified when he heard this, and shouted angrily.

He would have liked to give the order to strike right away, but Ironfang's army was out of range of their bows.

"Your enemy is the second prince of the Lopez Kingdom. Your lord once sent someone to assassinate him, and even sent an army of thousands of people to attack Iron Fang Town. If this kind of person is not a traitor, who is it?! "

Gareth ignored him, but said to himself.

"And there is your family in the town of Diai behind me, your children, do you want to tear your family apart because of the selfish desires of this traitor?"

By the time he finished speaking, the soldiers on the city wall were already whispering, and they were communicating with the people around them in a panic.

"Give me silence! Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"

Knight Willis's eyes were tearing, and he turned his head and roared angrily: "Where is the supervisor? Find out everyone who dares to deceive the army!"

"Yes! My lord!"

Immediately, several well-armed officers with long knives stood up, and then dragged the loudest soldiers out of the crowd.

These unlucky soldiers were publicly beheaded by the overseers on the city wall.

In an instant, all the voices on the city wall disappeared, and they were all shocked by the iron fist of Knight Willis.

"Gareth! You shut up!"

Then he pointed to the wall and yelled in vain, because Gareth wouldn't stop talking because of his anger.

"I really admire the courage of Willis Cavaliers."

Gareth's face was gloomy, and the faces of Beowulf and Langnut behind him were also a little ugly. This Knight of Willis is really decisive.

"Look at the soldiers of Diailing, look who these people are!"

With a wave of Gareth's hand, the army formation behind him immediately separated, and hundreds of civilians from Diai Town were brought up by the soldiers.

They are the families of these soldiers on the city wall, and they are not young and strong, they are all old and weak women and children.

"These are your family members. We didn't do anything to them after we entered the city." He pointed to the group of civilians and said loudly.

As soon as his words fell, the group of civilians immediately began to beg their sons, fathers or husbands on the city wall with tears.

"Son, come back, don't fight anymore!"

"Jimmy, go home, this home cannot live without you!"

"Dad, Dad, where are you? Let's go home together."

...

"My daughter... No! Don't!"

A soldier looked at his family under the city wall with tears in his eyes, and couldn't help sobbing, but was immediately knocked to the ground by a prisoner with a knife handle, the long knife was raised high, and then fell.

The begging stopped abruptly, and blood splashed on the bodies and faces of some soldiers around them.

But it was the death of this soldier that immediately enraged the soldiers on the city wall. They raised their weapons with ferocious faces, roared and attacked the guards and guards around them.

"Bastard! You all deserve to die!"

"Kill these bastards! I want to go home and reunite with my family!"

"kill!"

Immediately there was a sound of shouting and killing on the city wall, and the situation was chaotic.

"No!!!"

Knight Willis watched this scene with red eyes.

It's over, everything is over, even if I end the turmoil on the city wall, the castle can't hold it anymore, all I can do now is to die for the Diai family.

Thinking of this, he set his eyes on Gareth in the distance, it was all because of this person!
