I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.327

When they saw the mercenaries stationed in the center of the vanguard unit dying in droves, they were confused and lost their judgment for a moment.

Perhaps because of this, the captains and commanders of the mercenary units carried out battles while giving contradictory orders.

In the mercenary unit called the Whitebeard Brothers here, the leader ordered the enemy to fight back with one-handed weapons because they were close.

Unit commanders and executives said that the enemy in front of them was the priority, and gave instructions to soldiers holding long spears to focus right in front of them.

“Fuck those mud bastards who just came in! Don’t kill those bastards who are spearing from afar! “You fucking bastard!”

“No, those in row 567 who crawled in front should take out their sidearms and subdue them! The remaining vanguard keeps the pikemen in check!”

“retreat! Retreat and regroup! “If we don’t reorganize, we will be annihilated!”

In this way, even within the same mercenary unit, the guidelines of the commanders at each level were violated, and those who had just cooperated and acted as an ‘army’ according to the orders of Captain Campio of the Venetian Alliance were reduced to a ragtag group that had lost their unity.

In order to break the enemy’s momentum, Laura, who crawled over to the Marquis’ body with dust covered in armor, naturally had no intention of missing this opportunity.

In her hand, she took out the one-handed rapier she had been using for a long time and stabbed the gaps in the armor of the soldiers standing in front of her.

The confused mercenaries were unable to respond to her attack, and many mercenaries died.

“Does the Reich Empire even send women to war? “You cowards!”

Laura cut a hole in the neck of the man who spoke like that and wiped out the blood.

“What is it with you that you are pushed by such a woman even with your strength? And you deserve to die for insulting the captain.”

The 7th Division soldiers who watched this became even more energized and began to follow Laura and kill the enemies facing them.

Beneta’s mercenaries, who were so confused that they could not properly counterattack, ended their lives by having their heads broken with maces or being cut with swords.

The mercenaries, who had already lost their ability as an army for a while due to lack of contact, were even more terrified at the sight.

However, in the meantime, they kept talking as if they were in a battle of pride, saying they were not scared and not scared.

“You mud monsters! Dirty pigs of the Reich Empire! die!!”

“Do your parents know that you serve in the military, rolling around in the mud like this?”

“You bastards who don’t know anything about this kind of honor. “You pagans!”

In 21st century Korea, it is considered the highest compliment for those who lost in a game to curse their parents.

On the battlefield, the side that suffered a one-sided massacre without being able to use their hands or feet uttered abusive language that they would not normally say, proving how great they were.

Laura, who commanded the 7th Guards Division, fell back slightly from the vanguard with a smile on her face.

This is because the only generals who can fight at the vanguard from start to finish in such close combat are Captain Yeager or ‘Patton.’

If he overexerted himself and was injured or killed, the morale of the army, including the 7th Division, could have collapsed.

Then she commanded, pointing the bloody rapier in her hand forward.

“The 7th Guards Division will break through the enemy lines like this! Everyone follow me!”

With that order, the flag bearers unfurled the 7th Guards Division division flag and the Reich Reich flag, and the Imperial soldiers cheered as they saw the flag fluttering in the wind.

“Long live the Reich Empire! Long live the 7th Division! “All troops follow after them and charge!”

“We cannot let their noble sacrifice go to waste. At this time when the enemy is unable to escape the chaos, we must destroy them as much as possible!”

“I can’t just lose to Director Laura! “The time has come to clearly show Captain Jaeger and the Major General how all men of the Empire fight.”

The soldiers completely pushed back the confused mercenaries, and the aftermath of the 7th Guards Division’s surprise attack grew in scale and began to greatly shake the morale and control of the entire vanguard.

This bad atmosphere was quickly conveyed to the militiamen right behind the vanguard of the allied forces of the principality. Since they had no experience holding weapons properly and acting as soldiers in a war, they quickly fell into fear.

They began muttering in a voice so low that the noble officers commanding them could not hear.

“… If this continues, aren’t we all going to die? “I heard the Reich pigs are smaller in number than us?”

“Tony, shut your mouth. “It makes me anxious.”

“How can you defeat mercenaries who have been defeated so many times on the battlefield so easily?”

Some of the officers knew because they had already heard the citizen soldiers talking in fear, but they were trying to pretend not to hear them.

Because if the soldiers were summarily executed here, there must have been some anxiety about what kind of charges they would be charged with later.

If only one or a few people are scared, cutting down the scared people with a knife to death is effective, but it is counterproductive in a situation where everyone is feeling anxious.

So the officers commanding the militia had no choice but to complain in their hearts.

‘Why are these fucking mercenaries not even able to do their job and get bullied by those Reich pigs?’

As soon as Peter Yeager received the report that the 7th Guards Division, including Laura, was breaking through the vanguard of the mercenaries, he gave the order reflexively.

“We are sending a reserve division to the vanguard of the central army that is breaking through the vanguard! Also, make sure that units around the 7th Guards Division cooperate as much as possible! No matter how much sacrifice we have to make, we must break through head on! “Hurry up and spread the order to the entire army!”

In response to Jaeger’s order, the messengers at the base quickly mounted their horses and began traveling around to quickly spread the commander’s instructions.

As soon as he confirmed that, Peter Yeager delivered the following command:

“Charge the archer cavalry to the center of the enemy’s left wing! “We must pierce the flanks of the weakest militiamen!”

In order not to lose this momentum, Jaeger was giving instructions tailored to each situation.

Desperate reports continued to come in to Captain Campio of the Venetian Alliance.

“Here’s a report! The Black Brotherhood has been annihilated and has begun retreat!”

“The vanguard mercenaries are not following control and are being defeated! “Retreat due to considerable damage!”

“General Tobio, who commands a division made up of citizens from Filior, is asking us to do something about it.”

Captain Campio felt that his head was becoming so complicated and painful as the news poured in from various places.

Because even if you are given the position of ‘commander’ and can exercise command authority in order to lead the Allied Forces, the divisions under your command are composed of militias from other principalities in the alliance, such as the Principality of Venetia, so you need to appease them and command them well.

In a situation where the flow was slowing down, a choice had to be made: either appease them and make unreasonable choices, or endure the complaints of other cities that joined the alliance in order to win.

‘How the fuck can I win with as little responsibility as possible?’

After pondering such concerns, he came to this conclusion.

If you fail to drive out the Reich Imperial Army, there is a risk that you will be expelled from the Duchy of Veneta or put to death, but if you win, you can somehow allay the complaints of the allied cities.

With this premise in mind, as he pondered Captain Jaeger’s aim, Peter Yeager’s aim began to appear in his mind.

“Peter Jaeger bastard, you plan to split our Venetian army in half! No way! “There is no way!”

Campio, who expressed his anger for a moment, decided to make the best move to win in this situation.

“Send the elite mercenaries deployed to the rear to the front and send the militia to the rear instead! We must prevent any more disasters in the center! Hurry!”

At his command, one of the main premises of Peter Yeager’s strategy, or rather, operation, was broken.

And not long after, the militia and elite mercenaries exchanged positions, and at this moment, joy and sorrow crossed each other.

The mercenaries complained.

“……Fuck Captain Campio, you son of a bitch. They only protect their own soldiers until the end. Next time, see if I sign a mercenary contract with the army led by that bastard.”

“No matter how much the mercenary’s life is the life of a fly, isn’t that too much?”

“Go ahead and put shit on the damn wall.”

The militia and nobles all cheered, perhaps because they had escaped fear.

“Yes, we were forcibly brought here, so we should at least save our lives. “The ones left behind are the mercenaries who die.”

“In the next election for Veneta City Council members, we will elect Campio Captain.”

“If possible, I would like to stay in the rear and go home.”

However, the militia and the mercenaries did not know yet.

According to Peter Yeager’s strategy, the real danger was the militia, and the mercenaries were in a relatively safer position.

On the other hand, General Jaeger, commander of the Reich Imperial Army…

“… send a scout to check. “I feel uneasy about something.”
