Chapter 737 Battle of Muhavez Fortress 4
The knights divided into two factions, one led by Raymond, advocated launching a massacre to boost the morale of the entire army.
The other faction, led by Gary and Del, opposed the massacre of the city and advocated the use of soft-hearted means against the ordinary civilians in the Muhavits Fortress.
What’s interesting is that the female knights in the army are basically opposing the faction that massacres the city.
Ah, it may be a bit unrigorous to say that the Knights are divided into two factions.
It should be divided into three groups.
The last faction, led by Samuel, remained absolutely neutral. They didn't care whether the Muhavić Fortress was launched or not. No matter what the order was, they would obediently follow it as soon as they were given.
In this era, massacre of cities is the norm.
For the army of this era, massacre of cities is a lot of benefits, and massacre of cities is also a means of having to be done.
One of the biggest benefits of massacre of the city is that it allows soldiers to "carnival" to boost the morale of the entire army.
The faction that advocated launching a massacre of the city believed that the entire army had raided more than 400 miles in five and a half days before, and was already exhausted. It was time to reward the generals of the entire army.
And within a few days, Dominic in the Eghar Corridor will lead nearly 300,000 troops back.
By then, it will be another arduous battle.
Before the war begins, the soldiers' morale will be boosted by massacre, which will also be beneficial to the subsequent war.
The faction that opposes the massacre advocates that they are now in the enemy territory, in areas controlled by the Holy Hillan Empire, but Bishui Port and Muhavic Fortress.
If atrocities are committed against civilians in the Muhavic Fortress, it is very likely to lead to riots among civilians.
Their current troops are less than 80,000, while the Muhavic Fortress has nearly 500,000 civilians.
If these 500,000 civilians riots occur together, the number of people in their hands is far less than that of the other side's troops, and they will not be able to suppress them in time.
At this critical moment when Dominic is about to lead a large army to retake Muhavitz Fortress, there must be no riots or riots within Muhavitz Fortress.
Otherwise, the Muhaviz Fortress will be in danger of being recaptured.
The two factions are arguing, and the opinions of the two factions are both reasonable.
In the end, in order to seek stability, Willie adopted the "gentle faction" proposition and ordered the ban on massacres and that civilians in the fortress should not be harassed.
After all, if the civilians in the fortress really riots because of their atrocities, the consequences would not be that Willie could bear.
But Willie did not slap all the "City Massacre Sect" to death.
The generals and soldiers of the entire army really need some reward.
So Willy ordered: Open the warehouse of Muhaviz Fortress, starting today, you will eat dry meals and meat.
Anyway, these materials from the Holy Hillan Empire are not distressed to use, and there are also many stocks, which is enough for them to squander them.
At the same time, we promised all the generals and soldiers that after the end of this battle, each general will receive a bonus equivalent to their three-year military salary, and the fallen ones will also receive three times the pension.
This promise was not something Willie said nonsense.
Before the "Northern Kingdom Swift" battle began, Su Cheng and Humphrey had already discussed with the central government of the empire through letters how to reward the generals if the battle was successful.
The central government was also very generous and told Su Cheng and Humphrey directly:
If the battle is successful, each general will receive a bonus equivalent to their three years of military pay, and the fallen ones will receive a three-fold pension.
This news was originally used as a killer weapon - when the morale of the entire army declined due to some accident, the news of the generals and soldiers in the entire army was informed to boost the morale of the generals and soldiers in the entire army.
Because it is used as a trump card, this news has been hidden from you.
After Willie's judgment, it is now the best time to inform all the generals.
After learning that from today onwards, they would eat dry meals every meal with meat, and that they could receive a bonus equivalent to three years of military pay after victory, the generals and soldiers of the army were all happy and their morale was greatly boosted.
In this era, it is so simple to make the morale of the generals and soldiers rise. In addition to launching a massacre and allowing the generals and soldiers to "carnival", there are still many means.
After the victory of the battle, all the soldiers of the Michael Knights and all the Navy soldiers who participated in this battle were given a bonus equivalent to three years of military pay, and the fallen soldiers were given three times the military pay - this seemed to ruin the central government's wealth, but in fact it was not.
After all, compared with the brilliant achievements obtained after the victory of the battle, this amount of money is not worth mentioning at all.
...
...
Under Willy's order, the entire army quickly moved.
Warehouses in the Muhaviz Fortress were opened one by one, and trucks of rice, wheat and meat food were transported out of the warehouse.
Some soldiers ran to the streets of the fortress, and soldiers who knew Xilan's words announced to the civilians in the fortress: they will not harass the civilians in the fortress, please rest assured.
The Knights of Michael have always been stationed in the north of the empire, and the source of troops has always been to the north of the empire. Because of the approaching the Holy Hillan Empire, some soldiers in the Knights have understood Hillan language.
Of course, although there is no plan to launch a massacre on Muhavic Fortress, necessary patrols and search teams are still indispensable.
After all, no one knows whether there are any spies or rebels hiding in a corner of the fortress or among the people, and they seize the opportunity to launch destruction.
...
...
Camille hid among the crowd and followed the surrounding civilians to listen to the Knights of Michael who was proclaiming to them in a not-so-smooth Hillan language.
This soldier is a female soldier.
The young female soldier announced to the civilians in front of her: The Knights of Michael will not harass the civilians in the fortress! Please rest assured!
After hearing the female soldier say that they would not harass the civilians, the people around Camill immediately relaxed their expressions and showed a reassured expression.
A hint of admiration flashed in Camille's eyes, and he thought to himself:
——The commander of the army that captured Muhaviz Fortress is not a fool.
——It can be judged that it is not suitable to attack the civilians in the Muhavic Fortress at this time.
——The Michael Knights' Order is really terrible. Not only is the leader so terrible, but the soldiers are so terrible, even the ordinary knights in the regiment are not ordinary people.
——The current regiment commander Su Cheng, maybe he will surpass the first regiment commander and lead the Knights of Michael to an unprecedented heyday.
After sighing like this in my heart, Camille turned around and left.
But after turning around and leaving, after walking for a few steps, Camille suddenly stopped.
Turning back, he looked at the female soldier of the Knights of Michael who was still constantly announcing to the civilians in Hillan.
