I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 447
EP.447
Sergeant James snorted after hearing the sound of dust rising.
“What nonsense? When you say dust, do you mean the dust that the wind blows and blows?”
“No, it’s different. It’s real. Look over there.”
When I looked at the place William was pointing to, I saw that there was a really huge cloud of dust rising up there.
At first glance, it did not look like an animal living in the forest or a strong wind blowing up dust.
And these two thought the same thing even though they hadn’t even kissed each other.
‘Enemy attack!’
James got angry, grabbing William by the collar and shaking him violently.
“Who the fuck is trying to attack this place?!”
“How do I know that? “I’m sure it’s not Francois.”
“Then are you sure it’s the Reich Empire? According to what the platoon commander said, they are still negotiating peace with Lieutenant General Pete.”
Then William began to look away from his anxious feelings.
“Just think with common sense. “What kind of crazy person would stab us in the back by saying we don’t want to fight so let’s get along now?”
However, contrary to his thoughts, war is not a place where general ethical concepts apply in the first place.
Therefore, in war, the more enemies you kill, the more rewards and honor you get, and even if you rape a woman with the commander’s permission, you are praised for doing a good job.
In fact, it is nonsense to look for common sense in a place where common sense does not apply.
Their escape from reality did not last long.
‘Puuuu’
A trumpet made of horns sounded loudly, signaling an enemy’s surprise attack, and a drum sounded, signaling a signal to quickly arm yourself and prepare to fight the enemy.
“Fuck you, you motherless and fatherless bastards!”
At the same time, the officers who had been drinking and making jokes hurriedly got up and moved quickly to carry out their duties.
“Hurry up and arm yourself! Fully armed and go to the location! “Our 7th Battalion can follow me.”
“Stop fucking the whore and get out now. Now is the time!”
“Get your weapons and armor and run with your squad! “I’ll give you 5 minutes to reach the company’s assembly point!”
Although they moved according to their duties, which were ingrained in them like instincts, there were many of them, regardless of whether they were soldiers or officers, who were heavily drunk.
Therefore, although everyone was moving in a hurry, there were quite a few people whose bodies were swaying wildly.
“Is the location left or right…? “The sky is spinning.”
One guy vomited while running because he drank too much and ate too much meat.
“Uweeeek.”
The Reich Imperial Army had not yet blown the trumpet to begin the surprise attack, and the camp had already become a crucible of confusion.
“Fuck you, that’s Vicky!”
“Ouch sorry! “It’s too urgent.”
“I wish I could whip a whip, but right now the situation is the situation! “Move quickly, you bastard!”
Even soldiers and officers who are not drunk end up tangled up and confused, just like people who have had a drink.
Even though we had to prepare to defend the position as quickly as even a second later… the
more we rushed, the more we held each other’s ankles, resulting in a situation where preparations were delayed.
And while the soldiers and officers were moving around randomly, Marshal George was also hastily changing into his armor.
“What the fuck is going on? Couldn’t you figure out the details? “What was the reconnaissance unit doing and falling asleep?!”
“The reconnaissance unit was ordered to rest today by the order of Director Hobbs, so they only did minimal reconnaissance.”
“Holy shit! Hobbes What on earth does that guy know how to do right? Even if someone tells you to rest, you must rest while maintaining appropriate boundaries!”
Even though he said that, George couldn’t bring himself to say that Director Hobbes should be punished.
The plain reports sent by Lieutenant General Pitt over the past few weeks showed that the Crown Prince continues to lose weight little by little.
This is because all the generals, including himself, who saw this, decided that the Reich Empire could no longer wage war due to its limited supply capabilities and let down its guard.
In addition, his body was red from drinking too much, and there was a kiss mark on his neck from Emily, the exclusive maid whom he had sent away with his own energy…
‘Disciplining a subordinate in this situation is a disqualification as a commander.’
“Damn it, tell all troops to be on high combat readiness right now! You never know when a surprise attack may occur, so everyone, just grab your weapons and form a defensive line! “There is no time to even wear armor!”
“Yes, I understand!”
After receiving the order, the marshal’s adjutants and staff went around all the units and shouted.
“Prepare for battle! Ready for battle! “A large army of unidentified enemies has appeared!”
“Just pick up your weapons and go to your respective locations! “There is no time to wear armor or anything like that!”
“It’s the enemy’s order! Hurry! “I know you vomit when you drink alcohol, but even if you vomit, you vomit while running!”
Just like that, the staff and the generals came forward and somehow urged the drunken guys who were in no condition to fight.
We were able to prepare the camp for defense faster than expected.
If they had moved at this speed during training, Marshal George and the other generals would have been proud, but now that it was a war situation and they had been ambushed… Instead of being happy, they were
so frustrated that they were on the verge of death.
Marshal George hurriedly ran to the barracks headquarters, grabbed the staff around him and asked:
“Who is the enemy and how big is it?!”
Of course, there was no way for the staff to know information that the reconnaissance team did not know, so they had no choice but to keep their heads down.
In addition, all the soldiers and officers watching this situation realized that we had been screwed as a group.
In a losing war, a commander loses his composure, but isn’t his enemy just like that now?
However, even though they thought they were ruined, they ran around trying to survive with only a glimmer of hope.
On the other hand, Peter Yeager laughed while watching the dust blowing chaotically over the enemy lines from a little distance away.
“As expected, the United Kingdoms are going crazy because they like it when they pretend to negotiate peace and then stab others in the back! “Those idiots are probably sitting around right now, clashing with their colleagues and making a fuss about having to play defense.”
The current state of the Allied camp was exactly as he had predicted.
“So, we can lead the knights and archers like this, completely destroy the enemy formation, and then add additional infantry to annihilate them.”
At those words, the staff under his command let out a loud fart.
“That’s right, if your Excellency holds the sword and charges in person, the eel jelly of the United Kingdom will fall in an instant.”
“If His Excellency the Marshal were to show up, wouldn’t everyone be crying and begging for surrender?”
“If we just give the order to charge like this, we can crush them.”
Peter Yeager agreed with everything they said.
It is a good idea to grab the sword yourself and lead the knights to kill all the soldiers in the enemy camp, or it is also good to show up and break their morale.
This was a situation where the Reich Imperial Army could easily win even if they attacked regardless of infantry or cavalry.
However, he thought of a different operation than that one.
‘Charges should be avoided as much as possible, at the cost of sacrificing allies.’
So, after thinking about it for a while, Peter Yeager gave an order to his staff with a bright smile.
“When plowing a field to plant grain, the seeds must be sown with finely ground soil for the crops to grow well.”
These words were not simply words he had picked up, but lessons he had learned while farming on a small scale to educate his sons.
“Similarly, it is much easier to create a hedgehog with magic and arrows and then destroy the evil enemies over there, rather than attacking them like this. In addition, the number of people losing their lives for no reason is decreasing.”
Peter Yeager’s analogy was based on farming, but his inspiration for the operation was the basic tactics of a modern state.
In modern times, the enemy is killed and neutralized using cannons and bombing, and then infantry is deployed.
In the Reich Empire, they use magic and a rain of arrows to kill as many United Kingdom soldiers as possible, and deploy cavalry and infantry to fight.
How simple this operation may seem, but it is an operation that can be expected to be more effective than imagined.
“Call the wizards and archers! “Tell them to fire a curved arrow (arrow or magic) into the camp and turn the Allied camp into a sea of fire.”
“Yes sir!”
Soon, the wizards and archers surrounding the Allied camp began to rain down attacks on the enemy.
Although the camp itself was a facility defended by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it did not happen that everything burned down and fell in an instant.
However, with just one salvo, the enemies were thrown into great confusion.
Peter Yeager realized this and just gave a small smile.
