I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 77
EP.77
Three days later, the barracks of Chief Cheonho of the Töner tribe and Brunik tribe.
Here, after hearing the news that the Lucr tribe had been plundered, the small and medium-sized tribe leaders who had been called by the Töner tribe chief came leading their soldiers to suppress the army of the evil Reich Empire.
They were deciding their future response policy through discussion.
“Does this make sense? “I can’t believe the village of Rukr, where nearly 1,500 tribesmen live, has been devastated…”
“Shut up! Both your village and livestock are still fine! “Fuck, our tribe is now ruined!”
“If Chief Cheonho gives permission, how about bringing the tribesmen to our Chuik tribe? “I’ll give you the seat right below me.”
Andras Töner, the leader of the Töner tribe, was feeling pitiful as he looked at the tribal leaders meeting below him.
Because at times like this, we need to come together and come up with a plan to kill the pig-like empire that trapped us inside the castle walls.
Since their ally, the Lucre tribe, is ruined, there are those who want to increase their power by absorbing them, and others who lament that we are doomed now.
‘At times like these, you idiots, we need to join forces and devise a plan to lure the Empire bastards to the most unfavorable battlefield and kill them. They’re making such an uproar just because one tribe is broken…’
If the leader of the Lucr tribe here heard this, he would go crazy, but from a strategic point of view, it was important to defeat the imperial army while sparing at least one of his soldiers.
In order to reduce the sacrifices of soldiers, incentives must be used, and to do so, they must scratch the insides of the piglets who invaded their peaceful territory.
So he didn’t say anything yet and was just sorting out his thoughts.
“You idiots, do you think your tribe will be fine when the Empire comes out like this? Chuik, your tribe might end up like us next time! So, we have to kill all the fucking empire guys as soon as possible. “We have to intercept it now!”
There were two main reasons why the Rukr tribe leader went on a rampage.
First, because his village was devastated, he and his fellow tribesmen found it extremely difficult to make a living.
Second, if you fight against the imperial army and win in the future, you will be assigned many prisoners according to the law set by Ludvik. If you sell those to the empire or François, you can make money and then you can make a comeback.
“I’m sorry what happened to you, but what can I do? Now, isn’t it important to somehow lure them into fighting in a place where cavalry can be active? That’s only one tactic we can use. If you use archery cavalry and shower them with arrows, the enemy captain will chase the archer cavalry like an idiot and break the battle. To do that, we have to drag them all the way to the Heidel Plains… And if you were to be treated like that, you would either quietly perish like before, or at best, you would be sold as slaves. Ludvik Khan is also very merciful. “If you preserve the warrior, his family, and his horse, he will give you another chance to live.”
“What are you saying, you son of a bitch?”
“Isn’t it true? Before Ludvik Khan ruled here, it was common for each tribe to live alone when they lived and to be robbed by various tribes when they died. “Your ancestors did the same…”
The leader of the Lucr tribe was about to pull out his sword and threaten at that provocation, but then Töner raised his hand and spoke in a voice mixed with anger.
“stop! What a disgrace this is! As the two of you just said, if we remain silent, we will all be ruined. Also, if we don’t pull the enemy out to the Heidel Plains for a battle that is advantageous to us, too many of our warriors will die, making it difficult to plan for next year. So, we won’t start fighting with them right away, but we need to prepare incentives now.”
It was like the mediation of Hwang Hee, you are right and you are right, but thanks to the fact that both of their opinions were right and the authority of Cheonhojang combined.
The two tribal leaders calmed their anger and sat down in their seats.
“First of all, Chief Cheonho, acting on Ludvik Khan’s authority, orders the two tribal chiefs, Rukru and Chuik, to lead a total of 100 archers from each tribe and march out to attack their rear.”
When he said that, everyone nodded as if they understood.
If you think about common sense, attacking over 2,000 enemy soldiers with just 100 people is just crazy.
If you attack from a distance where the opponent’s attacks cannot reach, you can inflict a considerable amount of damage to them.
In addition, it may have been a tactic attempted because it was thought that the horse archers, who inherited the traditions of the nomadic people, were weak and would not be caught by the Reich pigs who lived stuck in the walls of the castle.
“You are wise. “If you get attacked like that, even if you can endure it the first few times, if you hit it about four times a week, you’ll get the hang of it.”
“I did the same thing three years ago when I captured the son of a Swedish earl. “It’s a very effective operation.”
“I don’t know who the leader of the enemy pigs is, but they will never be able to handle this. “They are slow on their feet, so they will never be able to catch us…”
Töner internally cheered as he saw the tribal leaders under his command stepping forward with enthusiasm.
Because if he personally defeats an army of more than 2,000 soldiers called the Imperial Regiment, he will probably be promoted beyond the rank of Cheonho.
Because you will be able to enjoy pleasure by obtaining more subordinates, more women, and more power.
‘I really like that bitch brought over from the Swedish Empire. I need to make a bigger achievement this time and get Ludvik Khan to give me another year. Then just stay in bed for two years.’
The delusion that made his jaw drop and drool just thinking about it brought him great joy and hope.
At that time, the door to the tribal leader’s barracks suddenly opened and a messenger came in.
When other subordinate tribal chiefs see a messenger who suddenly arrives during a meeting of tribal leaders, they pull out their swords and try to kill him.
“Reporting from Copenhausen of the Chuik tribe. “The day before, 2,000 imperial troops invaded Chuik village and devastated it!!!”
At those words, the tribal leaders who had drawn their swords put down the swords in their hands and looked at the messenger with blank expressions.
“You’re not telling a lie, are you?”
“If you carelessly come into a meeting where the tribal chiefs are talking about how to fight the imperial army in the future, shouldn’t you pay for your sin with death? “Why would I come into a situation like that and tell a lie?”
“What is the damage situation?!”
“All the tribe members were evacuated on horseback, and none of the tribe members died or were captured. “We abandoned all the slaves who were in the way of movement, and except for the horses, we also abandoned the rest of the livestock because they were slow to move and ran away.”
When Chief Chuik found out that his village had already been completely robbed, he lost his mind in despair.
The other tribal leaders thought that it was fortunate that the misfortune of the two tribes, Lucr and Chuik, was not their fault, but seeing the fate of the two tribes fall into abyss like this.
Anxiety began to weigh on my heart, as if it would somehow be my turn next.
“Chief Cheonho, if you keep doing this, we’ll all die! If we spend all our time using incentives, there won’t be a village left to return to. Then we’re done!”
“Now, we can no longer leisurely send 200 archers to shake the rear, cause fear, or tire them out. If we spend time like that and they don’t fall for the bait, it’s really over!”
“We have to have a decisive battle with them right now. If you just sit like this and keep your head rolling, you’ll be ruined without even being able to fight!”
Andras Töner sighed when he heard that.
If he had been Khan, or even if he had been Khan, he could not have taken the time to use a decoy operation to ensure a sure victory when the villages where his subordinates’ tribes lived were burning down one by one.
Because even though they are oppressed by the shadow of the huge khan called Ludvik, his subordinates who became the tribal chief.
Asking them to let the village they own disappear is no different from saying that they should just die for the Khan, knowing that it would be an honor to die for them.
The guys here are the ones who, if such a situation comes up, would rather rip off my head, the Commander-in-Chief, and surrender by offering it to the empire.
“I will find out where they are currently and move my troops near there. Since we are faster than them, we can catch them and kill them before they go to the next village. “Do you have any complaints?”
Everyone responded as if they had been waiting for those words.
“doesn’t exist!”

Meanwhile, the 24th Regiment of the Northern Army led by Peter Yeager.
“I have never eaten so much pork and beef since I was born in the Empire.”
“It’s a shame that alcohol is prohibited because it’s a battlefield… but I’m happy just eating meat. If you pick up branches from a nearby forest, make a fire, grind them into biscuits, and bake them like bread, they also make great bread, so if you eat them with grilled meat… kya~” “If I ate
meat like that, I would get sick of it. Listening to you, my mouth is already watering. Should I ask the company commander for a favor this evening? “Isn’t it okay to have one drink?”
The 24th Regiment, under my command, robbed the village of the Chuik tribe and is now resting about a day’s walk from there.
Due to the nature of the nomadic people, if we continue to destroy their villages one by one.
Even Töner and his subordinates have no choice but to give up the advantageous battlefield and come to the place we lure, in order to avoid losing their livelihood any longer.
If they were a completely nomadic people, they might just abandon their home and move to a new land, but if they lose their villages and are unable to farm, many people will starve to death.
Maintaining the size of the tribe is their lifeline, so if they are more impatient than us, they will become impatient. If we just continue to destroy the village like this, in other words, we are carrying out an operation to devastate the enemy camp.
It’s not something to boast about because it’s an achievement, but it’s true that we’re strengthening the northern border, so there’s no big problem.
“There was this saying in Sun Tzu’s Art of War. Before fighting, let your allies rest comfortably and your enemies become tired.”
This is indeed a good word. Because we robbed two barbarian villages.
They will be fighting on this very plain, the muddy mud that my cavalry hates the most.
Even if you hold out and wait like this, if they don’t move for a week, it’s great because you can admit that they’re good and rob another village. This is the best.
