I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

Chapter 150: Battle Of Jungfrau Plains (7)

Damn Swiss scums, die! Die! Just die!

Youre worse than dogs! Your fate is to die here!

Ill kill every single one of you without exception!

The soldiers of the Reich Empire had shouted with veins bulging in their necks, repeatedly stepping and stabbing with their spears at the enemy.

While the soldiers of both armies were killing each other with their spears, the skilled mercenaries of Switzerland had carefully crawled under the wildly moving spears above them.

In such a chaotic battle, they believed the risk of being caught was minimal.

However, if the Reich Empires soldiers had realized that they, as skilled soldiers, were crawling on the ground towards them, they would have been as good as dead, armed only with daggers.

They had approached the empires soldiers slowly, like turtles, trying to silence even their breathing.

It was only about 6 meters, a short distance to crawl, but being spotted meant instant death, making it a perilous situation.

To the skilled soldiers, a minute felt like an hour, but steadily, they managed to arrive unnoticed right at the feet of the Reich Empires soldiers.

Now, it had been time to hack at the shins or ankles of the empires fools with the daggers in their hands.

As Lieutenant General Yaeger predicted, the mercenary bastards crawled under the spearmen!

Grind them to meat! Kill them all!

Grind them into very, very small pieces!

The Reich Empires military, in preparation for such a moment, had placed soldiers with poleaxes next to the spearmen, as ordered by Lieutenant General Yaeger.

The polearm troops, likened to the harvest of wheat and barley in the fall, struck down as if they were threshing the grains of wheat and barley from their stalks with flails.

They raised their polearms to strike down on the heads of the soldiers, who had risked their lives crawling under the spears.

Save me, you bastards!

No, damn it. How did they know we were coming?

I cant die alone! Damn you, Reich Empire soldiers!

The soldiers belonging to Switzerland had been divided into those begging for their lives, those asking why they had to die even at this moment, and those who, resenting dying alone, were trying to take down the empires soldiers with them.

In the end, everyones heads had been equally crushed to death.

As dozens to a hundred skilled soldiers died in an instant, the Reich Empires poleaxe troops shouted hurrahs in loud voices.

Hurrah for Lieutenant General Yaeger! Hurrah for the Reich Empire! Hurrah for the great Deus!

The heads of the evil and cowardly mountain bandits have been crushed! We are winning!

Just push a little more! We will win!

This cheering greatly boosted the morale of the Reich Empires infantrymen, who had been faltering due to a lack of combat experience.

The soldiers of Switzerland were greatly despairing, as their tactics, which had always been effective, had miserably failed before their eyes.

Having heard all this, Lieutenant General Yaeger, clenching his right fist, raised it high and said,

Good! Nows the time. Tell the infantry to push more aggressively! Even if the Swiss soldiers are said to be the strongest on the Europa Continent, once their morale is broken, theyre nothing but a rabble!

This command was immediately conveyed to all of the Reich Empires infantry, and the imperial army had started advancing more rapidly, pressing on.

The soldiers of Switzerland were significantly shaken by the failure of the operation; although individually skilled enough to be called the strongest in Europa, they had begun to noticeably fall back.

At that moment, Captain Philip, in charge of the headquarters company, had approached Lieutenant General Yaeger and reported,

Sir, as you instructed, we have spread the oil-soaked leaves near the forest entrance on our side. And during the operation, we did not encounter the Swiss ambush units.

Understood. Then, order the company you command to prepare to cast Fireball towards the right forest when I signal the mage unit.

Yes, understood.

As the tide of the battle turned, the 7th Division led by Lieutenant General Yaeger had begun to gain the upper hand, and Count Ticino, suppressing his rising anger, had started contemplating how to turn the tide again.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes had passed. As time passed, the only clear thought in his head was that they needed a certain divine move to turn the tide of the battle.

Damn that Yaeger! To see a 27-year-old brat prancing around cowardly on the battlefield makes me feel like my chest will explode! Brave warriors of Switzerland, kill the evil Peter Yaeger, who is burning down your homeland! Charge!

Unable to quickly think of a divine move, he had first issued an order to press harder to recover the morale of the infantry.

Then, not long after, Count Ticino seemed to have an expression of realization.

Weve already ambushed the Reich Empires army, and that ambush was a complete failure. So, they wont expect us to use the same strategy again.

Send a messenger immediately to order Baron Ragnos to lead 1,000 infantrymen to bypass the forest on the left and stab the Reich Empires infantry in the flank! The outcome of this battle depends on this surprise attack.

If they succeeded in bypassing the forest and attacking the right wing of the Reich Empires army, as Count Ticino said, even the army commanded by Lieutenant General Yaeger would falter momentarily, and by seizing that moment and deploying the spearmen and swordsmen, they could quickly turn the tide.

However, even if Baron Ragnos hurried, they had to endure the current battle for at least an hour without being detected by Lieutenant General Yaeger to bypass and stab the enemy in the flank.

Were being pushed back in a head-on fight. So, deploy the reserve forces to provide support and put the swordsmen at the forefront. The spearmen wont dare beat the great Swiss warriors wielding two-handed swords!

It might sound arrogant, but the Swiss two-handed swordsmen were elites who received at least twice the salary of ordinary mercenaries.

In fact, it was common for one of them to defeat 2 to 3 new soldiers alone, making the swordsmen strong and ideal soldiers who never give up in any situation.

Employers who have hired them even once acknowledge that they possess three to four times the combat ability of the money paid, making them legendary mercenaries.

Therefore, they were a collection of capable individuals who were employed as mercenaries in places like the Peronia City Alliance, the Reich Empire, and the Francois Republic, and sometimes received officer or knight titles.

Moreover, carrying two-handed swords, which were most effective against spearmen, made Count Ticino confident of winning this time.

As Count Ticino deployed his trump card to turn the battle, the Swiss infantry still couldnt shake off the shock of the ambush squads failure.

Damn, even the ambush squad crawling under the spearmen failed. Are we really okay like this?

Shut up, Max. Count Ticino isnt a fool like you; he must have a plan. This is why I cant fight alongside greenhorns.

The reserve forces will be deployed soon. No, once those swordsmen behind us start slashing with their swords, were 100% going to win.

Soon after, the swordsmen were ordered to advance, and upon hearing this, the infantry cheered.

The two-handed swordsmen smiled slyly as they saw the inexperienced soldiers make way for them, realizing that their chance to shine had finally come, and moved forward.

Of course, in the midst of this, the Reich Empires soldiers quickly thrust their spears at vital spots like their necks.

Where do these brats who cant even leave their mothers side come from? How insolent!!

While shouting, they advanced forward, deflecting the Reich Empire soldiers spears with their two-handed swords or cutting the spear shafts.

The imperial soldiers were taken aback by the swift and powerful advance of the swordsmen, almost breaking their formation.

However, the poleaxe troops were able to somewhat protect the imperiled spearmen, preventing the formation from collapsing and avoiding major damage.

However, this series of events restored the morale of the Swiss infantry, which had been pushed back until now, with the timely arrival of the reserve forces.

In a head-to-head battle between infantry, how dare these Reich brats think they can beat our brothers!

Well shut those insolent mouths!

For you invaders, there is only a horrific death!

The Reich Empires army began to slowly retreat.

Watching this, Peter Yaeger felt troubled, but he managed his expression to not reveal it to his subordinates.

In fact, he was secretly hoping that the enemy was too focused on the infantry battle.

At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Werner and Lieutenant Colonel Anastasia, observing the situation from a distance, sensed that it was their time to shine and ordered their subordinate units.

First, kill those Swiss bastards with long-range weapons!

Watch the archer cavalry stir things up and charge on my command!
