I tell me men to be quite.... After the battle I will slowly confront the surviving team. Walking in on a battle can cause chaos and can cause me to be attacked.

Valid Point. I tell my men to charge next to the men with shields (the 'good' guys) Then , I run over and un-hitch the cart from my horse so that I can ride on the horse into combat. I yell to the shield-men "Behold! The great Irvin has come to save yee!!" {Hopefully this tells them I'm on their side and they won't attack me.
