I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 214
EP.214
“It’s time to play with fire! What are you doing! “Set everyone on fire!!”
“This is the military camp where the traitor Ishtaven stays. “Let’s turn it into ashes!”
“Kill at least one more guy!”
The Northern cavalry under my command now started moving around holding torches and setting fire to every corner of the Stockholm Kingdom’s campsite.
At the same time, if there were any who were still struggling, they were killed by cutting or stabbing them with a knife.
In addition, if there are infantrymen gathered together in a platoon, they will attack them on horseback and trample them to death. There is no chaos like this.
Normally, when something like this happens on the battlefield, nearby units come to support, but when your camp is raided and you don’t even know how many enemy troops there are, the only tactic you can use is independent survival.
“You children without a mother or father! “You damned barbarians!”
“You cowardly came in at night! “I will tear the limbs off of you bastards who don’t let you sleep!”
“You barbarian bastards! “Dirty, disgusting barbarian bastards!”
So, those who are now targeted by our northern cavalry are destined to die without being able to properly resist, let alone receive support from those next to them.
As I was leading the cavalry and cutting down the enemy on horseback, it occurred to me that I must have killed hundreds of enemy soldiers.
The enemy’s infantry began to gather together in units of each regiment and slowly began to give the impression that they would come to pressure us.
If you take your time and respond slowly, you damn bastards, you could wipe out more people…
“Assemble all archer cavalry around me! “It looks like the enemy is slowly coming to his senses, so there isn’t much time left for fun play.”
It’s a pity, but if you die here while surrounded, there will be no such thing as a dog’s death.
Still, if you look closely at the enemies gathered together in each regiment, you can see that almost none of them, from officers to soldiers, are wearing armor because they just jumped out of their sleep.
In other words, if 10 people are hit by arrows, 7 to 8 people will be killed or seriously injured.
Moreover, seeing as they only gathered together and couldn’t approach us properly, they seemed to be very wary because they didn’t know how many people I was leading…
“Spray oil around and shoot arrows! “There’s no need to aim and shoot them. Just shoot them at a place like where the enemy is!”
As the order spread, the archers randomly took what looked like oil cans they could see nearby, opened the cans, lifted them, and started spraying oil everywhere.
Then they got back on their horses and continued shooting arrows at the enemies they saw around them with their bows.
On the battlefield, you need to fire nearly 10 arrows to kill a soldier, but now the enemies are not wearing armor, so the effect is very good.
The enemy army once again fell into confusion.
“Fire! “It’s on fire!”
“Arrows are flying! “Shouldn’t we attack them now?”
“Are you saying that when you don’t even know how many enemies there are? Just hang in there!”
Confusing the enemies like that, it is natural that the fire spreads throughout the entire camp, but the enemies are unable to even attempt to put it out.
So, at first it fell in several places, but the small embers soon started to burn to the point that the heat enveloped the area where we were. When digestion becomes difficult for some reason.
“Just throw the torches lying around somewhere. “We have to get out of here before the enemies chase us.”
My men had already turned their horses and were fully prepared to escape, and when I was about to leave for the last time, the Stockholm Kingdom Army seemed to have finally noticed that our numbers were not that large.
While we were actively pushing forward with our spears in hand, we could hear the sound of horses’ hooves around us even though we were not moving.
If I dawdle here any longer, I might lose my head.
“I will be the last one to leave! Everyone break away! “As you break away, shoot arrows at the enemy!”
After saying that, the northern archers began to quickly escape the enemy camp.
The Stockholm officers who saw this pulled out their swords, pointed them at us, and shouted in anger.
“Kill every single one of the bastards who came in now! “No one should be sent away alive!”
“Cut off the heads of those cowardly bastards who don’t know the laws of the battlefield!”
“Capture the sword-wielding commander in front of you! “I will tear your limbs off and kill you!”
As soon as the order was given, the Stockholm soldiers came quickly, like rushing water.
I guess the heavens didn’t want me to die, but by the time they got close enough to stab me with their spears, all the guys in front of me had already escaped.
Seeing that, I quickly turned the horse’s head and spurred the horse as much as possible, instantly increasing the horse’s speed to its maximum.
“Pay with death for waking us up while we were sleeping, you little bastard!”
On the way, an enemy came out and stabbed my horse with a spear, and I kicked the spear away several times while running at full speed.
“Do you do the same thing with your wife? Those stupid Stockholm guys. Ah, in your kingdom, if you can do this much, you must be on the good side!”
“You fucking bastard!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay! If you die here anyway, your wife will live happily ever after with another man!”
After saying that, I ran even faster and left the enemy camp, and this time the enemy knights chased us.
“Don’t miss that bastard even if it means death! No, they are the ones who dared to attack our camp. “We can’t let him go alive!”
“You bastards, even if you tear their limbs to death, it’s not enough! Just hope you get caught!”
“Stand there! “Holy bastards!”
Instead of stopping as they wanted, the Northern Archer Cavalry soldiers continued to fire arrows at those pursuing them.
Normally, since they are knights wearing armor, if you shoot an arrow, it all bounces off the armor, but now, the arrows hit them very well.
So the archers under my command seemed to find it fun to shoot, so they fired arrows even more frantically.
It would have been normal for him to be exhausted after ambushing the enemy’s camp for a long time, but he was so excited that he seemed to have completely forgotten about his fatigue.
No, if you look at it from the side, it seems like the more you drive a horse, the more powerful it becomes.
“It’s so nice to see someone being beaten to death by a stinging foot! “You bastards, have a taste of Old Man Aldaf’s arrows!”
“Even though their military camp was robbed, they can’t even use their hands or feet properly? “Do you think you’ll die of injustice?”
“Be at peace when you die! “You Stockholm foresters!”
So we trampled the enemies until we shot all the arrows in our quiver, and the knights chased for about 10 minutes before turning their horses’ heads.
When the Northern cavalrymen were laughing their hearts out when they saw the running away, Anya came up and asked.
“Lieutenant General, should we attack now? “I’m out of arrows, but if I stab myself in the back with a sword, I’m sure I can kill quite a few enemy knights.”
It was an attractive offer, so I was intrigued.
However, if we chase after them now and attack them from behind, we have no choice but to get a little closer to the enemy’s main force.
Then, if you’re unlucky, you could get stabbed by the lances of properly armed knights and become a human skewer… It’s
unfortunate, but it would be better to step down at this point.
There is a saying that if you want to live healthy and long, you should eat only about 80% of your stomach.
“no. It would be better to just join the main Reich Imperial Army. “We have done a great job.”
Not only did they understand the size and location of the enemy army, they invaded the main camp, killed hundreds of enemy soldiers, and even set fire to the enemy camp.
This alone would have lowered the morale of the Stockholm Kingdom Army to the point of hell, so they did the best they could with the surprise operation.
After confirming that I was somewhat far away from the enemy’s pursuit, I raised my sword upward and shouted.
“The empire will never forget your achievements. So, fight to your best and achieve victory in the upcoming war.”
To those words, every single Northerner responded with a loud cheer.
So I returned to the base of the imperial army, repeating a nomadic march, spending time on horseback except when I was sleeping.
When I arrived, I heard news that I could not believe and did not want to believe.
A variable that I never expected occurred in relation to this war.
Although it is not as bad as the death of His Majesty the Crown Prince or the death of His Majesty…
“Why does the world hate me so much?”
It was such a disaster that it was hard to think about it.
