Kings and rulers that don't lead their armies are cowards and honestly pussies. IRL, in-lore and in the games we see rulers leading and fighting with their armies. That is what they do. They also help to inspire their troops. Also, this is the king's only holding. This is his last stand basically, of course he'd fight in it. Only a fat bastard wouldn't step up to defend his home from heretical invaders. Martin led his people and he was the last Emperor of his line. Ulfric led his people even though he was the face and soul of his rebellion. Emperor Titus II led his people in retaking their capital. IRL Kings and rulers led their armies all the damn time. So don't go saying that it is crazy that the King of Balmora is heading off to lead the defense of his city. (When Constantiople fell to the Turks, the last city of the Byzantine Empire (the year is 1453) the king stood in the streets with his sword and shield, trying to fight off the army that outnumbered his forces 40 to 3, yelling, "Who will take my life from me?!")
