I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.253

The morale of the soldiers belonging to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw was very low.

Until the arrows started flying, the new recruits were openly saying negative things like, “We are all going to die here,” and the situation was so bad that even the senior soldiers who were in charge of leading them into the battlefield could not even say a word of encouragement. .

Non-commissioned officers and junior commanders who actually controlled the soldiers had to even threaten to kill them if they did not follow orders.

However, morale, which had reached its lowest point, was resolved to some extent when the arrows started flying.

The reason is that, as the enemy’s arrows were flying at me like crazy, I had no time to think about anything else. However, in the face of a life-threatening crisis right in front of me, my survival instinct to live only sprung up, and I overcame my fear and desperation.

As a result, they gained the strength to fight against the Reich Empire’s infantry like a fighting machine.

“It’s the commander’s order! Push with all your might! Drive slowly according to the command ‘one, two, three!’

“When did these bastards, who were so scary and sloppy until they came from afar, become like this? “I wanted to take it easy.”

“Shut up and kill at least one more guy! “If we follow the training, we can all return alive.”

The imperial infantrymen were surprised and grunted at the sight of the nearly dead men who had just been brought back to life, but not a single one was agitated.

This is because the non-commissioned officers and lower-ranking commanders in Warsaw used the power of ‘summary judgment’ to forcibly drag weak allies into the battlefield.

Even though the imperial army officers did not threaten our soldiers that much, they kept them sane by shouting and threatening them before they became agitated or surprised and lost their morale.

“Even piglets struggle before they die, saying they don’t want to die! “Moreover, the Warsaw dogs and pigs are beasts that have life, so shouldn’t they resist?”

“They may look fine on the outside, but on the inside they are like rotten ruins. If you give them a little beating, they will definitely fall apart.”

“Anyone who hesitates or gets agitated will see my face separately! “Focus!”

The situation on the battlefield was immediately conveyed to Captain Jaeger, who was staying at the Reich Empire’s headquarters.

“The battle between the Warsaw soldiers and our soldiers is now in full swing, and the push and push continues. Battalion commanders and regiment commanders in frontline units are requesting the deployment of reserve forces. What will you do?”

After hearing the story, Peter Yeager was lost in thought and asked to wait for an answer for a while.

This is the battlefield that Captain Jaeger sees now.

The current war is only in its early stages. It can be said that the soldiers have just clashed with each other and are fighting to bring the flow of the battlefield to their side.

At this stage, if you put in reserve troops or use unreasonable moves to outwit your opponent, your army’s stamina will be depleted.

In that case, if the enemy, who realized that the allies’ strength was exhausted, launched an all-out attack with a superior number of soldiers, there was a high probability that they would not be able to withstand and would be defeated.

‘In this situation, if you try to raise your momentum by mobilizing more troops, you will only get caught. However, since the morale of the enemy army is lower than that of our army, we must make sure that the units currently engaged in battle do their best.’

“Move the side soldiers and skilled soldiers at the rear of each battalion unit and send them out in front of the spearmen. Let them break the enemy’s lines. If that happens, the enemy knights will soon move. So, tell our knights waiting in the rear to put on their armor and check their lances.”

In the era of cold weapons without gunpowder, if you destroy the enemy’s infantry formation, you are considered to have lost more than half of the battle.

The only option for the enemy army, whose battle line had collapsed, was to mobilize knights to turn the opposing infantry into a dead-ringer and turn an ‘orderly battle’ fought with everything they had into a chaotic melee rather than a dog fight.

Therefore, in order to prevent as many variables as possible, Captain Jaeger gave the order to respond to knights with knights.

“Yes, I understand!”

After saying these words, the messenger gave the same instructions to several light cavalrymen on liaison duty around Captain Jaeger.

As soon as the command was delivered, they quickly ran on their horses in the direction they were supposed to go and shouted.

“There is no mobilization of reserve forces! “There will be no additional mobilization of reserve forces, but frontline units are ordered to attack with all their might!”

“Knights, quickly equip yourself and form a formation so that you can march out! Form a formation and wait for the order to deploy!”

“The enemy knights will come soon!”

What these instructions meant was that both armies would soon be fighting with all their might.

The Reich Empire’s officers began to think about what they had to do and give orders appropriate to the situation, feeling half nervous and half excited.

“Spearmen, keep pushing! “Charge so intensely and passionately that the enemy loses his senses.”

“We will deploy them soon! So just hang in there!”

“We will be the main players in winning this battle! Reorganize your ranks! Reorganize!”

The unit, which lost the strength to continue the attack due to its disorganized formation, reorganized its formation to create enough strength to withstand, and gritted its teeth and did its best to hold on.

However, some units suffered considerable damage due to stronger-than-expected resistance from the enemy, and were moved from the front line to the rear with a ‘unit reorganization’ flag.

The most important striker that needs to be deployed now is the Imperial Blade, who will shatter the enemy’s formation.

“Pyeongon two-handed swordsmen should wait at their current positions, and skilled soldiers should crawl under the enemy’s long spears with daggers.”

Following the order, the skilled soldiers who were storing up their stamina behind the spearmen placed their bodies on the ground and began to crawl slowly like snakes.

As usual, no one paid any attention to them as they quietly crawled forward, completely oblivious to even the sound of their breath, without even being noticed by their fellow Reich soldiers.

“Fuck you Reich bastards! “It’s so cute that it looks like you’re stabbing a spear in the air!?”

“Check it out, you fucking bastards! “Go to hell like your mom and dad!”

“die! Die!! “Ugh, you dirty invaders!”

Thanks to this, those crawling on the ground were moving unhindered through the blind spot under the enemy and friendly spears.

However, the moving party had to endure an extreme environment where they could not even breathe properly to avoid being detected, fearing that if they were caught by the enemy, they would immediately be skewered by a spear.

There was only one reason they could endure.

‘As soon as they crawl under the bars and reach the enemy’s camp, the Warsaw bastards die without even being able to move.’

As they said, the spear was the strongest weapon that could block a large area completely when several people gathered together.

It is a weapon with such poor self-defense capabilities that it is much better to fight with bare body, let alone the ability to kill a person if it enters the pole that is at least 4 to 5 meters long.

Therefore, skilled soldiers can perform great martial arts and receive huge rewards by simply stabbing the dagger in their hand into the ankles of the enemy soldiers in front of them.

When the time of patience was over and the soldiers of the Reich Empire arrived at the feet of the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, they did exactly what they had learned and trained thousands of times.

With the dagger in his right hand, he stabbed the instep of the person in front of him or cut his Achilles tendon, rendering him unable to walk.

“Peek-a-boo you fucking Warsaw bastards! “Didn’t your mom teach you to watch your step when you were little?”

“You’re making a lot of noise because you got stabbed in the ankle. It’s crazy. “Shut up, you bastards.”

“I heard you really liked it when you were having fun with the spear just now. “It looks good.”

The Warsaw soldiers could not utter a curse in response, but fell down clutching their ankles and screaming in immense pain, unable to offer proper resistance.

Meanwhile, the skilled soldiers of the Reich Empire quieted the Warsaw soldiers who were rolling around on the ground with the sword, mace, and even the two-handed ax on their backs, and began to collapse their formation.

“If this continues, we’re all going to die!”

“Put down your spear and pull out your sword! Draw your sword and respond! “Don’t just respond to the Reich Empire spearmen in the distance.”

“Now you little pigs are crawling on the ground like snakes. “What kind of crazy things are you talking about!”

For the Warsaw soldiers, there was no disaster like this, but for the Reich Imperial Army, it was the best opportunity.

On the other hand, for Captain Tateushu, this was the worst possible situation as the central axis of the battle, Bomyeong, was collapsing…

“Send out the knights!” “The Reich infantry lines must be dispersed by any means necessary.”
