I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 112
EP.112
When the trumpet sounded, the crossbowmen and wizards of the Reich Empire were joking with each other.
“Damn you Francois! I’m so scared. “Fuck.”
“You brought in 10,000 men just to capture one brigade.”
“Ay Mark Bam. “What’s the use of cursing these bastards who are going to die soon anyway?”
There was actually a great deal of fear in their hearts as they said this.
Just now, when I saw over 400 knights on the right wing being defeated by Major Anya’s archers and Lieutenant Colonel Werner’s knights, I was inwardly relieved.
This is because I only felt fear and doubt after hitting the wall of reality of having to deal with 2.5 times as many soldiers.
What is scary is the overwhelming difference in numbers.
The suspicion began with the question whether their general, Peter Yeager, would be able to achieve victory this time, even though Brigadier General Yeager had so far turned the unfavorable battle around.
“This time, instead of shooting at them directly, I’m shooting them with a howitzer! “Shoot at the same angle as your platoon leader!”
“Tilt the crossbow as much as the guy next to you tilts and pull the trigger!”
“Don’t think about anything, just shoot the arrow like you learned! ‘What should I do if this happens?’ “Let’s start by searching for the kid who hesitates!”
When the commander of the crossbowmen gave the order to fire, the soldiers had no choice but to put aside all unnecessary thoughts.
This is because if you slow down your firing or loading speed while thinking about random things, the platoon commander or company commander next to you might kick you in a very painful way, or even if you win and go back, you might get whipped.
Perhaps because of such urging, the Reich Imperial Army succeeded in launching a long-distance preemptive attack before the soldiers of the Francois Republic.
The arrows they fired hit the Francois crossbowmen at the vanguard of the Republic army, who were trying to fire arrows and magic at the Reich Empire soldiers as quickly as possible.
“Fuck Emilia.”
“Corporal Jang! Corporal Jang!!”
“Reich Empire, you dirty pigs!”
The soldiers of the Francois Republic had to move forward, stepping over the corpses of their comrades who had been with them just moments ago, cursing with their blood boiling.
When they reached the appropriate location, their commander gave orders.
“Feed me arrow rain! Fire your magic! Destroy their infantry!”
“Shoot them all! “We must kill Brigadier General Jaeger at all costs!”
“We must win!”
When the order was given, the soldiers of the Francois Republic fired arrows and magic, while the infantry of the Reich Empire hid behind the boards installed behind the wooden fence.
The thick plank was able to block most arrows fired by the enemy, but some arrows pierced the board.
Of course, it couldn’t withstand magic that was difficult to block even with iron armor.
The soldiers of the Reich Empire had no choice but to crouch behind the planks and listen to the whispers of their allies around them.
“How the fuck can I die like this?”
“Why the helmet…”
“My arm! “My arm!”
In this way, the two armies exchanged arrows generously to reduce each other’s troops as much as possible, and in the meantime, the infantry of the Francois Republic arrived near the imperial army.
The imperial army’s infantry commanders moved at dizzying speed and gave orders.
“Walk the plank and form a tight formation. There will be a collision soon!”
“Don’t be afraid of your enemies! “We will win!”
“Long live the Reich Empire! Long live Deus!”
Meanwhile, Brigadier General Yeager, who was watching the whole situation, decided that he could completely turn the tide of the battle by following the orders he was giving.
This is because even in a gang fight involving dozens of people, everyone’s breathing and the timing of their attacks must be right to demonstrate their power as a group.
This was because there was confidence that properly trained Reich infantrymen would be able to agitate the Francois infantrymen with just the slightest movement before they could properly engage with them.
So, he kept imagining in his head the location and condition of the soldiers, the location of the soldiers, and the position and condition of the enemy forces, and imagined an opportunity to shake up 4,000 soldiers.
He spoke while swinging the baton in his right hand slowly from top to bottom.
“The rider, send a signal to the entire army. “All infantry units are to retreat ten steps while maintaining square formation when the enemy approaches the fence.”
At those words, the staff around the brigadier general shook their heads in bewilderment.
Because, based on common sense, a fence was set up and infantry was placed behind it.
This is because defending that position is more advantageous.
So, among these, Lieutenant Colonel Cherny, the brigade’s chief of staff, tried to protest directly to Brigadier General Jaeger… but the
flag bearers were already waving flags and giving orders to take 10 steps back while the enemy was approaching.
The soldiers of the Reich Empire abandoned the barriers, formed squares, and began preparing to retreat.
Francois’ infantrymen cheered when they saw this and began to walk quickly.
“The cowardly pigs are abandoning the fence and retreating!”
“Look, private. Didn’t I say there’s no business with numbers? Look at that. “Running away one step at a time.”
“Haha, is that right? “So that means we win?”
And as if to prove their claim, the bugler and drummer beat the drums more actively according to the orders of Division Commander Pompadour.
Literally, in order to defeat the enemy, it means holding out your spear forward and running with all your might to slaughter the enemy soldiers.
Normally, it is the sound that soldiers hate the most, and it is a sound that brings back terrible memories just by hearing it.
Is this because charging while the enemy is running away turns into an enjoyable combat experience in that it can kill fewer allies and cause the enemy to die en masse?
Even laughter could be heard among the corporals and sergeants of the Republic who had served in battle at least once.
“We already won! haha!”
“If that’s the case, you shouldn’t just stand there blocking it. Damn Toluang bastard. “Why are you searching already?”
“New recruits, are you lucky? “The war will end quickly?!”
So they took their steps with excitement, with the expectation that they would be able to carry out a one-sided massacre.
The faces of seasoned NCOs and officers began to turn pale.
Because you are already 70 meters away from the enemy and have prepared to charge assuming that the enemy is behind a barrier, but what if that gap collapses?
A person may not fall that easily, but there is an increased possibility that the spear blade at the end of a long stick will miss and the battle line will be disturbed.
As a result, the soldiers’ charging power decreases and they can be subject to counterattacks.
However, if you stop carelessly, the infantry in front will be crushed to death by the soldiers behind.
Brigadier General Jaeger, who was watching this situation, laughed at the troops of the Francois Republic and said,
“So the enemy knows that they have miscalculated the time to attack, but they have no choice but to keep moving forward, even though they know that in return they will be met with a fierce counterattack.”
In such a situation, lower-ranking officers, from Division Commander Pompadour, who commanded the entire army, to platoon commanders, could do nothing other than ignore the problems at hand and give unconditional encouragement.
“Charge! “Show the glory of the Francois Republic!”
“For Francois, for the people, for the greatness of our republic!”
“Brave soldiers, step forward. “I will stand before you!”
These words mean that no matter what happens, just ask and charge.
The officers of the Reich Empire who saw this laughed at them and gave orders.
“Ten steps back! Then, when they remove the fence, they all hit the enemy with the spears they were aiming at!”
“Isn’t there a bastard here who can’t take his virginity? “Fuck me like you would in bed!”
“This is where you show your manliness!”
In this way, the soldiers of the Reich Empire maintained their formation perfectly and took 10 steps back, while the infantry of the Francois Republic ran and kicked the fence with momentum.
Just because of that, the wooden fence that was not held on by anyone, or rather the wooden fence that had deliberately removed its supports due to the rumor that the infantry of the Francois Republic was charging in full force, easily fell due to the continuous kicking.
Because of this, the speed of the Francois Republic’s soldiers slowed down, and the first and second rows and the polearms behind them were slightly lifted to avoid stabbing our troops.
“Long live your Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Reich Reich!”
“Prove that infantrymen can also become men!”
“Now! Follow Brigadier General Jaeger’s orders and attack!”
The soldiers of the Reich Empire maintained their formation and advanced, stabbing the soldiers of the Francois Republic with spears.
The Francois Republic lost its formation and was hit by a Japanese assault, so it replaced the confident look it had shown just a moment ago.
It began to show a scene of living hell.
