Chapter 198: You All Deserve to Die
Morale is very important on the battlefield, and it can often determine the outcome of a war.
Therefore, before the two armies fight, the highest commander of the army will carry out a mobilization of the whole army, and in some large battles, the king of a country may come to the battlefield in person, in order to boost his army.
Ordinary soldiers see that their kings are all on the battlefield, and not all of them are as if they have been stimulated?
The same is true for some armies to beat drums before the battle to boost our soldiers and suppress the morale of the enemy's army.
There is also the tactics of morale, and the charge of the heavy cavalry legion, in the face of the terrifying charge of hundreds or thousands of heavy cavalry, few soldiers have the courage to stand at the front and not be frightened.
Often, in the face of such charges, many soldiers scattered and fled before they could make direct contact with them, so a collective charge of large heavy cavalry on some plain battlefields could determine the outcome of a war.
It's a pity that the north of Lopez is not a plain area, and there is no suitable pasture, so Jason is not in a hurry to prepare the cavalry troops, but only makes some preparations in advance.
If conditions permit, it is still necessary to raise such a force, after all, having a heavy cavalry corps is also a very strong deterrent.
But Jason actually paid more attention to the infantry legion, after all, the infantry legion was no weaker than the cavalry corps when armed.
There is also a discussion with Fox before, whether it is possible to really train the elephant soldiers and put them into the battlefield.
"Knight Willis, we meet again. ”
On the battlefield, Gareth rode to the front of the army and shouted to the castle walls, the two of whom had met in Erbia.
"Now there are only two choices in front of you, either the city will be destroyed, or the door will be opened and surrendered, please be sure to think about it. ”
The castle of the Count of Deai was much shorter than the castle of Irontooth, almost ten meters high, only about two meters higher than the walls of the town.
In the face of the well-equipped Iron Fang Army, the wall did not do much at all.
"The knights of Gareth?"
Knight Willis stepped forward and looked condescendingly at the army in the distance in a loud voice, he was deeply invisible to the man who had held power under Jason at a young age.
"Don't bother talking, you will never be able to storm this castle unless you step over my body. ”
After saying this, he looked serious, put on his helmet with both hands, clenched the long sword in his hand, and showed his determination to fight to the death with his actions.
"Even if you want to defend the glory and dignity of your lord, there is no need to bring the soldiers behind you to bury you......, right?
Gareth's sword pointed at the many soldiers behind Knight Willis.
The men's expressions were numb, and they moved their heads slightly after hearing Gareth's words.
But they were like some walking dead, mechanically grasping the weapons in their hands, and standing there as if they were quietly welcoming their impending death.
"They are the most loyal and powerful soldiers, and their names will be inscribed on the pillars of the Deai Territory's history, and your tactics will be of no use to us!"
The knight of Willis didn't look back, he was now well aware of the state of these soldiers.
So he loudly interrupted Gareth's words, and if he continued like this, his army would be defeated without a fight.
"Soldiers of Deay!"
Ignoring his angry roar, Gareth shouted at the soldiers on the city walls, and also strengthened his voice with supernatural strength: "There is no need for you to fight for the traitor of Count Deay"
"Our lord is not a traitor!"
When Knight Willis heard this, he was terrified and shouted angrily.
He was tempted to give the order to attack right away, but the Iron Fang's armies were out of range of their bows.
"Your enemy is the second prince of the Lopez Kingdom, once your lord sent someone to assassinate him, and once sent an army of 1,000 people to attack Iron Fang Town, this kind of person is not a traitor, so who is?!"
Gareth ignored him, and said to himself.
"And behind me in the town of Deai and your family, your children, do you want to tear your family to pieces because of the selfish desires of this traitor?"
By the time he had said this, the soldiers on the city wall had already whispered earnestly, and they were flustered communicating with the people around them.
"Give me silence! Those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed!"
Knight Willis's eyes were split, and he suddenly turned his head and roared angrily: "What about the prison army, find out all those who dare to bewitch the army!"
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately several officers who were well armed with long knives stepped forward, and then dragged several of the loudest soldiers out of the crowd.
These hapless soldiers were beheaded in public by the overseers on the city walls.
In an instant, all the voices on the walls of the city were gone, and they were all stunned by the iron fist of the knight of Willis.
"Gareth!
Then he stretched out his hand and shouted in vain under the walls, because Gareth would not stop his speech because of his anger.
"I really admire the courage of the knight of Willis. ”
Gareth's face was gloomy, and the faces of Beowulf and Lonnat behind him were also a little unsightly, this Willis knight was really decisive.
"Look at the soldiers of the Deai Leader, and see who these people are!"
With a wave of Gareth's hand, the army behind him immediately separated, and hundreds of civilians from the town of Deai were brought up by the soldiers.
They were the families of the soldiers on the city wall, and they were not young and strong, they were all old and weak women and children.
"These are your family, and we didn't do anything to them when we entered the city. He said loudly, pointing at the group of civilians.
As soon as he finished speaking, the civilians began to cry and beg for their sons, fathers, or husbands on the walls.
"Son, come back, don't fight anymore!"
"Jimmy, go home, this family can't live without you!"
"Daddy, Daddy, 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 but sob, but was immediately knocked to the ground by one of the overseers next to him with the hilt of his sword, and the long knife was raised high and then fell.
The pleading stopped abruptly, and blood splattered onto the bodies and faces of some of the soldiers around them.
But it was the soldier's death that immediately angered the soldiers on the city wall, and they raised their weapons with hideous faces and roared to attack the people of the overseers and lord's guards around them.
"Brutes, you all deserve to die!"
"Kill these bastards! I'm going home and my family!"
"Kill!"
Immediately a shout of killing rang out on the city wall, and the situation was chaotic.
"No !!"
Knight Willis watched the scene with red eyes.
It's over, everything is over, even if he ends this turmoil on the city wall, this castle can't be defended, and now all he can do is to die for the Deai family.
Thinking of this, he set his eyes on Gareth in the distance, all of them were this person, all because of this person!
