I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 190
EP.190
Lieutenant General Peter Yeager was reading the enemy’s momentum near the vanguard of the 7th Guards Division.
I don’t know what the Austrian army was saying, but I could tell that the army was being shaken by arrows and magic as the angry and evil sounds kept coming out.
A large number of soldiers would be marching in a state of great fear after seeing the soldier next to them get scared and die while trying to run away.
Even in such a situation, the Archduke of Austria would think that he could win by pushing through numbers.
‘You stupid archduke. ‘You know very well that war is not just a game of numbers, but you’re trying to see everything only through numbers.’
Lieutenant General Yeager saw their shaking appearance and wondered how to inflict the greatest damage if they collided head-on.
Before we knew it, the distance between the enemy and the enemy was only about 20 meters, and there was less than 30 seconds left for the two armies to clash with their spears.
“Raise the assault planes and send the military band signal. The entire army aims their spears at the enemy’s neck and runs and charges. “First, we begin by destroying the enemy vanguard.”
At those words, the sound of trumpets and drums rang out very cheerfully, or at a chaotic pace, and the command was delivered by repeatedly flapping left and right three times.
“Aim all spears at the enemy’s neck! “I charge forward with the determination of becoming a knight!”
“A frightened cub will either be trampled to death or stabbed to death by the enemy!”
“Roll down the windows in the first, second, and third rows and stab! You will think you are a stone and will hit you! “Do you understand?”
At the same time as those words were spoken, the soldiers ran forward at full speed, aiming their spears at the enemy as they had been trained to do.
“Die, you dirty Austrian bastards! “You guys are not worth living!”
“I’ll send you to your dead parents! “You bastards!”
“Long live the Reich Empire! Long live your Majesty the Emperor! Long live Deus! “You dirty gay looking bastards!”
Perhaps it was the result of endlessly repeated training, but the soldiers of the Reich Empire charged without hesitation, like berserkers who had been freed from the feeling of fear.
The Austrian soldiers who witnessed this scene directly from the opposite side felt a fear that was understandable but unbearable.
That’s because usually those who charge in this way are forced to do so by command, so the tip of the spear should shake and look restless.
This was because the crazy cow-like guys running at high speed in front of me were approaching without any hesitation.
The soldiers and officers couldn’t help but feel fear and fear when they saw the charging behavior that was completely out of their common sense, and some of the timid people even messed with their pants.
A considerable number of soldiers immediately turned their eyes to the terrifying sight.
“Fuck you crazy bastards, look ahead!! “Just aim your spear and you will survive!”
“Come to your senses and point your spear in the direction they are coming from!!! “You bastards!”
“What are you afraid of those charging bastards?! “They are crazy bastards bent on death!”
The officers shouted at the top of their lungs using vulgar language to calm the soldiers, but the terrified Austrian soldiers could not come to their senses in less than 10 seconds.
And the result, of course, was that the Reich Imperial Army, which had no soldiers who were too scared to charge properly, inflicted enormous damage on the Austrian soldiers.
“Row 1 and 2 have been breached, battalion commander!”
“Rearrange your formation! Organize your formation first! If we continue like this, the formation will collapse.”
“You crazy bastards! If you step back, you die! Die.”
Among the divisions deployed at the forefront of the Austrian army, one-half of the soldiers deployed in the first line and one-fifth of the second line were blown away in a single charge.
The number of troops killed in this single assault amounted to 0.6% of the total troops.
Although it was not that many in terms of numbers, the impact of losing 0.6% in one charge naturally spread to all units.
Lieutenant General Peter Jaeger, commanding the Reich Imperial Army, naturally did not miss this opportunity.
‘Our allies’ physical strength is much stronger than that of the enemies, so if we fight from the front in a long-term battle, our allies have an advantage. However, if possible, when the first attack goes through, we must kill at least one more enemy to save at least one more imperial soldier.’
With that in mind, he immediately issued orders to increase the impact of the assault on the Austrian army as much as possible.
“First line spearmen of the 7th Guards Division, grab the sidearms strapped to your waist and stir up the battlefield! The soldiers in the 2nd and 3rd rows fight while covering the soldiers in the 1st row with long spears! “We will make the most of this momentum and break through.”
When the order was given, the staff member next to me asked.
“Lieutenant General, it may be a good idea to use the momentum now to completely drive the enemy away. “How about sending in handgun soldiers and two-handed swordsmen to collapse their camp?”
“If the forces of our army and the enemy are similar, it would be right to do so. However, today’s battle must continue for a long time. So it is much better to inflict moderate damage to them over a long period of time. “If we rush, we could be put in a disadvantageous situation.”
“I understand. I will proceed as ordered.”
At the same time as the staff responded, dozens of messengers were dispatched to each division, and the military band sent designated signals to each unit.
The soldiers of the imperial army followed orders, and the soldiers at the front massacred the hesitant Austrian soldiers with one-handed weapons such as swords, maces, and axes, as well as long spears.
One, two, three, four. The number of soldiers dying continued to increase, and the Austrian soldiers could not carelessly kill the Reich soldiers who were protected by long spears.
“Kill those bastards! “Don’t let those guys upset our formation!”
“It’s easy to say, but if you get close, they’ll stab you with a polearm and you won’t be able to get in!”
“Push in at all costs! “If we can’t get in somehow, we’ll lose!”
After saying that, the commanders of the Austrian army pulled out their swords from their belts, waved them in the air, and shouted.
“The Reich Army must be stopped at all costs! From now on, I will personally cut down anyone who hesitates!”
“They are people too! person! If you stab it, you’ll die!”
“Soldiers in the 1st and 2nd lines, put down your long spears and switch to one-handed weapons! Then we fight back!”
The judgment made by the officers of the Austrian army was accurate, but the response of the officers of the Reich army was very quick.
“Soldiers in the first line, step back immediately!”
“Get a new polearm and rejoin!”
“You worked hard, now it’s up to us.”
At the same time as the order, the soldiers who fought hard in the first line quickly retreated, and both armies formed a long spear square again and began fighting to break each other’s formation.
“Reich Empire, you crazy bastard! “How the fuck can you hold a long spear and attack me like that?”
“Aren’t you guys afraid of dying?”
“You cows in heat! die!!”
The soldiers of the Reich Empire mocked the soldiers of the Austrian Empire who were unable to use their hands or feet in their reckless assault.
“You guys, you guys, aren’t even worth the size of a pea… why are you talking so much?”
“If I were you, I would start wearing skirts and be a woman from today. “How much is it without going to the military?”
“Austrian girls are really good at throwing spears in the air!”
On the other hand, the Archduke of Austria, who was briefed on this whole situation from afar…
“Damn it, Lieutenant General Peter Jaeger! How on earth were they supposed to train their soldiers so that not a single one of them was afraid and held up a long spear and rammed into a square of long spears?! “You devilish bastard, worse than Satan.”
The best thing to do was to swear like that, and he asked irritably.
“Captain Martius! Lieutenant Benner! Why are the Reich Imperial Army so strong when it comes to soldiers? And what on earth do you know? This is such a disaster!! “Why can’t these bastards called generals come up with a solution?”
Matthias felt uneasy because if he continued like this, his attempt to make a new start in the Grand Duchy of Austria would be thwarted.
Max, Jaeger’s executioner, sensed that this was an opportunity and spoke with a serious expression.
“It’s our fault. “I never thought Lieutenant General Yeager would sharpen his sword this much.”
“Fuck you. 하긴 자네들이 아무리 잘났어도 그 망할 미친 개새끼 머릿속을 읽을 수는 없었다고 치자고. Are there any other solutions? “Ah, other staff members, please listen to what these guys say, bear with it, and talk to them.”
The staff felt bad for a moment. But after thinking about it, I realized that in the current situation, they would not be able to come up with a proper solution anyway.
I kept my mouth shut, feeling like I was using Lieutenant Benner as a human shield.
No, when I thought about the fact that the lieutenant who had surrendered would directly incur the Archduke’s wrath, I began to think that it was a good thing or even pity him.
“No matter how much Lieutenant General Yeager trained his soldiers, they are still just soldiers. We have more troops. “Just leave it like this.”
