Chapter 0387 - Jingle Shirt Frightened Mance is at ease
Jon and Clank Shirt are at the front.
Will and the others dismount, as do Jon and Clankler. Walked over with the reins.
On the south bank of the Ruhe River there are long pits full of spikes, which neither horses nor mammoths can cross, and there are many passages in between, which are so narrow that only two horses can walk side by side. The array of stakes behind the pit has been arranged, and whether it is a horse charge or an elephant charge, it will have to pay a heavy price.
"Is it going well?" Will looked at the more mature Jon.
As he walked, the beard on his lips became darker, and the fine hairs turned into extremely short stubble, from the chin to the cheeks.
"Smooth. Jon said.
Two men hugged each other.
Then the others stepped forward in turn.
Jingle Shirt nodded to Will, and let out a 'ho-woo-woo', a shout from the freedfolk leader calling out the warriors, like a ranger's iron whistle.
However, the two thousand cavalrymen lined up remained motionless behind the spike formation.
This naturally includes the former Freeman cavalry.
They were scattered and organized into various regiments, with men and horses of the Night's Watch cavalry in front and behind, and everyone stood in formation, and for more than half a month, they had developed the military discipline of obeying orders before acting. In a strict team, if a person can't do it, he will also be driven to form habits and rules.
Now, for example, even if there is a former freeman cavalry who wants to fight his horse, it is impossible unless he is on the edge of the legion. But when Will and the leaders were in formation, the perimeter was the elite of their own rangers.
For example, on both wings, there will definitely be no free folk cavalry that is still a new recruit, and both wings are veterans.
The sound of the clank's 'ho lo' command was like the cry of a grazing mountain, and although many horsemen wanted to come out to meet their king, no one moved.
The leaders and squad leaders of the Rangers train the Free Folk Cavalry very harshly, for the simple reason that this is a military order. Will wanted a well-disciplined cavalry force. The day after the freedmen were incorporated into the cavalry regiment, they took the oath in front of the cavalry regiment's flag.
Everything seems to fall into place on the surface, but the freedfolk cavalry warriors inside are not as loyal as they seem. However, Will only pursues the surface of military discipline first, and the subtle is invisible, and when the threat of the common enemy comes, the little estrangement in the hearts of these cavalrymen is like the remnant snow under the scorching sun, which naturally disappears without a trace.
Jingle Bell's face changed and changed.
He went this way, and when he returned, the cavalry regiment of the freedmen was gone. In the face of his mountain shout of 'ho lo lo', no one of his previous subordinates ran out.
That's what Will wants.
This will cause the self-confidence of leaders such as Jingle Bell, as well as the ambiguity and ambiguity of the loyalty of the former Free Folk Cavalry to Mance Red.
If there is no tacit cooperation between the new and old rangers and the advance cavalry, these freeman cavalry can run out smoothly to meet Mance Red, whether it is psychological or momentum, the disadvantage will be Will and Sauron and others.
This was one of Will's ingenuity.
The freedfolk cavalry could not come out of the two thousand cavalry regiments after forming an array, which was also the queue design that Will had thought of when he formed the freedfolk cavalry to enter the ranks.
Discipline was a discipline that he and his chiefs repeatedly emphasized to the freedfolk warriors in a short period of time, and no one should exceed it, and the light ones would be punished, and the heavy ones would be re-educated by the bachelor's degree.
And there is no cavalry that is not afraid, even the chieftain is afraid of the kind old man who has no tongue.
In addition to this, the good armor and weapons that the Free Folk cavalry never had, the rich and delicious meat bread, the dripping roast meat, the piping hot bacon soup, and the onions and carrots in addition to Leoni beef or lamb, also nourished the stomachs of the Free Folk warriors.
The principle that people go to high places applies to anyone.
The freefolk warriors who had to fight with their lives for a good bow, a good sword, and an unscratched helmet now had more than their leader. These things are easy to put on, but it is too difficult to take them off again.
Sauron and Severed Palm Colin looked at the embarrassed Jingle Shirt, and suddenly felt that Lord Will had made the right decision.
At least superficially, the cavalry regiment of the Free Folk Warriors had merged into the ranks of the Rangers and became one of them.
Sauron said, "Jingle Shirts, there are no more freedmen cavalry here, only rangers here, and in order to fight against the cavalry legions of the strangers, they belong to the Great Wall and belong to the freedmen. This legion belongs to all of us!"
Jingle Shirt was speechless. He stared at Will several times, then galloped back and hurried forward along the side of the group.
He's gone to report it to Mance Red.
It's an incredible thing.
In a short period of time, his brothers became rangers, which was absolutely impossible and unreasonable.
How did Will do that?!
In fact, compared to Mance Red's unification of the various savage tribes that 'have a deep enmity with each other and kill each other all year round', what Will did may only be regarded as a 'small road'.
It's just that this trail surprised Jon Snow, Tyron Ash, Robert Royce, Sandor Cregan, Clankler, Firekiss Ygritte, and others. The hound's surprise was in his heart, and his expression was that ugly and terrible dog helmet.

"Mance!" Jingle Shirt called by his name.
The Savage King does not have the demeanor of a king, at least his clothes are exactly the same as those of the freedmen around him. Behind him, the giant nemesis Tormond still had a golden armband on his right arm, and Mance had two of them, and had worn them in his tent, but the golden armband was not his own, but a gift from Tomund.
Tormund was followed by several of his wolf-like sons, their eyes shining like those of a wolf, full of murderous wildness.
It is not uncommon for ruthless characters among the freedmen to have a murderous ferocity in their eyes, and Ygritte is the epitome of this.

Mance Rader said slowly, "What's the matter?" he saw the horror of the tinkerer shirt. He deliberately slowed down his speech, and his voice was clear but very powerful.
It's a magical sound. The magic is conveyed steadily through the speed of speech and the steady tone of the mountain.
Jingle Shirt's horror was greatly reduced: "Our cavalry legion, swear allegiance to Will. They, they, they became rangers. Will, this guy, I don't know what strange tricks are used. ”
"They're all wearing black cloaks?"
"Some wore black cloaks, others didn't. ”
"No one can reinvent our warriors in such a short period of time, what you see is only superficial, I believe in the hearts of our warriors, they must still be on our side. Mance Rader said. He smiled and picked up the harp, "Jingle Shirt, you are a man, don't act like a frightened child, come, listen to me sing 'Bear'!"
If Mance Rader hadn't become the Savage King, if he had been born in the Green Lands, he would have become a singer known in the Seven Kingdoms.
