I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 150
EP.150
“Die, you damn bandits from Switzerland! die! “Die!”
“You bastards who are worse than dogs! “Your destiny is to die here!”
“I will kill every single one of you!”
The soldiers of the Reich Empire repeatedly raised their spears and stabbed the enemy, shouting in loud voices with blood vessels erected around their necks.
While the soldiers of both armies were fighting to death and killing each other using spear poles, Swiss skilled mercenaries were carefully crawling under the poles that were moving wildly above their heads.
With such a chaotic battle already taking place, I don’t think there’s any risk of being caught.
If the soldiers of the Reich Empire realized that they were skilled soldiers crawling on the ground and approaching, they would be as good as dead as they were holding only daggers.
He was slowly approaching the place where the imperial soldiers were, like a turtle crawling, even breathing as hard as he could.
All you have to do is crawl a short distance of only about 6 meters, but it is a dangerous situation where the moment you are caught, it is no different from death.
To the experienced soldiers, one minute felt like an hour, but as they kept going, they soon succeeded in reaching the feet of the Reich soldiers without being detected.
So now is the moment to cut off the feet or ankles of the imperial army idiots with the dagger in your hand.
“Just as Director Yeager predicted, the bandits crawled under the spearmen!”
“Turn it into minced meat! “Kill them all!”
“Let’s chop it very finely!”
In preparation for such a situation, the Reich Imperial Army had placed soldiers carrying spears next to the spearmen under Major General Jaeger’s orders.
They suffer from flatulence just as they do when harvesting wheat and barley in the fall.
As if holding a flail and striking it to remove the grains of wheat and barley attached to the stalks.
He picked up a pin to hit the heads of the soldiers who had risked their lives crawling under the bars.
“Help me, you fucking bastards!”
“No shit. “How did you know we were coming?”
“I can’t die alone! “Fucking Reich soldiers, you bastards!”
The Swiss soldiers were divided into those who were begging for their lives or those who were asking questions even at this moment to know the reason why they were killed and those who wanted to die together by stamping on the feet of the imperial soldiers because it was unfair for them to die alone.
In the end, everyone equally died with their heads broken.
As dozens to 100 skilled soldiers died in an instant, the soldiers of the Reich Empire shouted loudly for national independence.
“Long live Director Jaeger! Long live the Reich Empire! Long live the great Deus!”
“The heads of the evil and cowardly mountain thieves are broken to death! “We are winning!”
“Let’s push it a little harder! “We win!”
This cheer greatly boosted the morale of the Reich Empire’s infantry, which had been pushed back due to lack of combat experience.
The Swiss soldiers were in great despair as their tactics, which had always been effective, failed so cruelly right before their eyes.
After hearing about all of this, Director Yeager clenched his right fist and raised it upward.
“Great! It is now. Tell the infantry to push more aggressively! “The Swiss soldiers may be the strongest on the European continent, but when their morale is low, they are nothing more than a ragtag bunch!”
The order was immediately conveyed to all the infantry of the Reich Empire, and the imperial army gradually increased the speed of its advance and pushed forward.
The Swiss soldiers were so shocked by the failure of the operation that, although their individual skills were capable of being called the best in Europa, they began to fall noticeably behind.
At that moment, Captain Philip, in charge of Headquarters Company, approached Major General Yeager and reported.
“As instructed by the director, we scattered leaves soaked in oil near the entrance to the forest near us. And we did not encounter any Swiss ambush troops during the operation.”
“I understand. Then, the company you command will now order the wizard troops to prepare to fire fireballs toward the forest on the right when I give the signal.”
“Yes, I understand.”
As the tide of the war turned, the 7th Division led by Major General Jaeger gradually began to gain the upper hand, and Count Ticino suppressed his anger and began to think about how to turn the tide again.
1 minute 2 minutes 3 minutes. As time passed, the only thing that became clear in his mind was that they needed a definite act of God to turn this entire situation around.
“You look like a damned Jaeger! Watching a 27-year-old kid running around so cowardly on the battlefield makes me feel crazy! Brave warriors of Switzerland, kill the evil Peter Jaeger who is burning your homeland! Charge!”
God’s move was not easy to come up with, so he gave the order to push harder to restore the morale of the infantry.
Not long after that, Count Ticino looked as if he had achieved enlightenment.
‘We already surprised the Reich army and that surprise completely failed. So they won’t think we’ll use the same strategy again.’
“The messenger immediately orders Baron Ragno to lead 1,000 infantrymen to bypass the forest on the left and attack the flanks of the Reich infantry! The victory or defeat of the battle depends on this surprise attack.”
If we succeed in attacking the right wing of the Reich Army by bypassing the forest as Count Ticino said.
No matter how much of an army commanded by Major General Jaeger, there would be a momentary tremor, and if halberds and Doppelsöldners were deployed for that moment, the war could quickly turn around.
However, no matter how quickly Baron Ragno moved, he would have to endure the current battle for at least an hour in order to take a detour and attack the enemy’s flank without being noticed by Major Jaeger.
“We are losing in the battle of power at the front. So, send in a reserve unit to assist, and put the Doppelsöldner at the forefront. “No one will dare defeat the great Swiss two-handed sword-wielding warrior!”
It may sound like an arrogant statement, but the Doppelsöldners in Switzerland are elites who receive at least twice as much salary as regular mercenaries.
In fact, it was common for one of them to defeat two or three new recruits by himself, so the Doppelsöldner was strong and an ideal soldier who never gave up under any circumstances.
These legendary mercenaries are recognized by any employer who has ever hired them as possessing combat power three to four times greater than the amount of money received.
So, a group of capable people who were hired as mercenaries in places such as the Peronia Cities Federation or the Reich Empire and the Francois Republic and then received the rank of officer or knight.
In addition, since he was carrying a two-handed sword that was most compatible with spearmen, Count Ticino was confident that he would definitely win this time.
When Count Ticino made his secret move to turn the game around, the Swiss infantry had still not recovered from the shock of being attacked by a surprise attack team.
“The raid team that crawled under the pikemen also failed. Are we okay like this?”
“Shut up Max. Count Ticino isn’t a fool like you, he probably has his own thoughts. “This is why I can’t fight with new recruit Naburang.”
“Reserve units will be deployed soon. No, if the Doppelsöldners behind there pick up their knives and start chopping, we will win 100%.”
And soon after, an order was given to the Doppelsöldners to advance, and the infantrymen who heard the sound cheered.
The warriors holding two-handed swords moved forward, smiling at the fact that their chance to take action had finally come as they watched the young soldiers opening a path for them to exit.
Of course, along the way, Reich soldiers quickly stabbed them with long spears, aiming for vital points such as their necks.
“Where are these little babies who haven’t even been weaned from their mother’s milk! be impertinent!!”
Shouting like that, he dug forward, kicking the spears of the Reich Empire soldiers with both swords or cutting off their poles.
The imperial soldiers were taken aback by the power of the Doppelsöldner, which penetrated in an instant, and the battle line almost cracked for a moment.
By protecting the pikemen who were in danger of death to some extent, the formation was not broken and they were able to avoid serious injuries.
However, a series of processes restored the morale of the Swiss infantry, which had been pushed back just now, and support from the reserve forces arrived in time.
“How dare you Reich brats fight against each other head on! To beat our older brothers!”
“I’ll sew up that insolent mouth!”
“There is only a cruel death for you invaders!”
The Reich army slowly began to be pushed back.
Peter Yeager, who was watching this situation, thought it was difficult, but he managed his facial expressions and did not reveal it to his subordinates.
No, in fact, I was secretly hoping that the enemy was preoccupied with infantry warfare.
And at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Werner and Lieutenant Colonel Anastasia observed the situation from a distance from the battlefield and sensed that now was the time for them to take action and ordered their units.
“Let’s kill those children with long-range weapons in Switzerland first!”
“When you see the archer cavalry rushing in, follow my instructions and charge!”
