I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.258

To the infantrymen in the rear who had been unable to come to their senses due to the rear surprise attack of the Reich Empire’s arch cavalry and were about to feel relieved as they thought they had given up and escaped.

The Warsaw army began to fall into chaos once again as the 4,000 archers who thought they had retreated rained down a barrage of arrows.

“You damn Reich bastards who are worse than dogs!”

“Reorganize! Reorganize the entire unit! “We need to be on guard from behind, you idiots!”

“The archers have to go behind and the infantry have to block from the front!”

“Trust the armor you wear! “Unless you’re really lucky, you won’t die!”

If the formation had been well-organized, I would have been able to hold on with the thought that other soldiers were also protecting their positions.

Because we were being toyed with by the archers just now, our formation was in disarray, and we were even attacked from a distance.

Warsaw’s rear troops were on the verge of complete collapse.

On the other hand, the Reich Empire’s infantry reserves were able to quickly escape from the forest and deploy their units properly while the enemy was in confusion.

Because of this, the infantry units of the Warsaw Army were completely surrounded from front and back, just as General Jaeger had intended.

Brigadier General Anastasia gave an order after confirming that the friendly infantry unit was properly positioned right in front of them.

“Stop shooting at the Archer Brigade.”

As soon as the order to stop shooting was announced, the soldiers under his command immediately stopped shooting.

“We have finished everything we have to do, so we will return to base. Everyone worked hard. If we win this battle, the Imperial General Staff will give our brigade a considerable reward. “I, Brigadier General Anastasia Kergit, will vouch for this.”

The soldiers in the archery cavalry were greatly satisfied when she, who was second only to Peter Yeager to the Northerners, acknowledged their performance and even confirmed the reward accordingly.

The reason they fight here is to follow the orders of the Emperor (Kakan) of the Reich Empire and come for the good of the Reich Empire, but just as important is to receive promotions and rewards and change their positions.

But now that a promise of promotion and a huge reward has come out of the mouth of Brigadier General Kergit, if there is anyone who is not happy, he must be a fool.

“Long live Brigadier General Kergit! Long live the Reich Empire! Long live Kakan!”

“Damn, I guess I’ve done everything I can. “I guess it’s the same as getting promoted to sergeant, right?”

“Fuck, I would have no wish to be that damn major just once. “I guess we can look forward to it this time.”

The archers returned to their base with big dreams and expectations, and the infantry of the Reich Empire advanced towards the Warsaw army, which had only just begun to reorganize in the rear.

The majestic marching made it look like an army that had won a great victory and was holding a victory ceremony, and the morale of the soldiers was very high.

The officers confirmed that their subordinates’ will to fight was high and chose a somewhat extreme but sure-fire tactic that could cause great damage to the enemy.

“25th Battalion! Aim your spear at the Warsaw guys and charge! run!”

“Speed up! Increase your speed and attack in one hit! “I’m going to hypnotize you into thinking you’ve become a knight and crash into you!”

“Show the courage of the great imperial army! “Kill at least one more guy!”

As soon as the order was given, the soldiers couldn’t help but swear.

“Charge with a long spear? “Aren’t you crazy?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to rush in quickly before the bastards scrambling in front of us come to their senses and form a phalanx?”

“They say that when dealing with assholes, the one who fights in his right mind loses, and this happens.”

Even while grumbling like this, the Reich Empire’s infantrymen ran with all their might, aiming their long spears at the enemy’s neck or a location where a vital point was likely to be.

After seeing this, some small units of Warsaw soldiers came to their senses, formed a square with long spears, and tried to block the charge as much as possible by shooting arrows.

No matter how hard the minority worked, they could not stop the strong-minded majority.

In this way, the Reich Empire infantry attacked the dizzying formation of the Warsaw soldiers, and the enemy army was wiped out to the point of futility.

“You crazy Reich bastards! In all my life, I have never seen an idiot running towards me with a spear…”

“Intercept, intercept!”

“Whether it’s arrows, magic, or a spear, attack as soon as you can! No, just pull out a knife and stab him, you bastards!”

In the meantime, he tried his best to resist, but he was stabbed to death by the Reich soldiers’ polearms before he could resist strongly.

Otherwise, their heads would be broken by blows or maces, or they would be killed by one-handed swords when the distance between them was very close in a melee.

This commotion in the rear gradually spread to the front lines of the Warsaw Army.

Then, those who had held on to the hope that one day a reserve force would come to help them finally realized.

That reinforcements cannot come if the rear is suffering like that.

Although no message came to Captain Tateusz, who commanded the Warsaw army, he came to this realization through the intuition he had gained from his active experience in countless battlefields.

‘This battle was a crushing defeat for our troops. There is no turning back.’

When I made that decision, I thought that if I could somehow reduce the damage, I could solve the problem while saving my family, even if it meant saving my life.

In the current situation, we decided to use the best method to reduce the losses of the Warsaw soldiers.

“The retreat is backwards! Concentrate all your offensive capabilities behind you! Send a signal to the knights and tell them to retreat! “Don’t get into a fucking dog fight for no reason!”

As the order to retreat spread like a ray of light in an unfavorable war situation, the Warsaw soldiers hurriedly concentrated their attack to the rear.

The soldiers of the Reich Empire blocking the back of the Warsaw Army were not so easily penetrated.

There may have been many reasons for this, but the biggest one was the fact that no matter how many troops were deployed to the rear, it was difficult to properly demonstrate their power in a disorderly state.

So the imperial soldiers guarding Warsaw were somehow able to hold out.

“The distance between us and the enemy is too small! Throw away the pole! “Throw away your polearm and use something like a mace or a sword!”

“You have to last even 1 second for your team to win! Victory in this fight depends on you!”

“Ahh! “Fuck you, you bastards!”

While the Warsaw soldiers were concentrating on the rear, the Reich soldiers fighting at the front of the Warsaw army slaughtered the enemy soldiers who turned their backs in fear of death.

They stabbed him with a spear, smashed his head and spine with a flat blade, and not only that, he constantly fired arrows and magic from a long distance.

This situation was immediately conveyed to Peter Yeager at the base.

“The Warsaw soldiers were completely blocked by our infantry reserves. As a result, a one-sided massacre is said to be taking place. “What are you going to do?”

In General Jaeger’s opinion, the current situation was desirable for the Imperial Army, but he felt the need to use a slightly different strategy to expand the battlefield.

Because if things continue like this, almost all of the enemy knights that the imperial knights, including the vanguard Laura regiment, have managed to capture will be released.

This is because the infantry reserve fighting to block the enemy’s rear can suffer great damage if it is breached by the Warsaw guys’ desperate struggle for survival.

“Mobilize all of the archer cavalry to support the knights belonging to the imperial army and deliver it to the infantry to inform the Warsaw bastards. “There are no ambushes in the forests on either side.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Following that order, about 8,000 archer cavalrymen immediately took up their cavalry swords and joined the battle to kill the Warsaw knights, succeeding in controlling the flow of knights fighting among themselves.

Also, some of the imperial army’s infantrymen shouted loudly while dressed in Warsaw uniforms.

“If you want to survive, run to the nearby forest! “There are no ambushes or soldiers there!”

“Run to the forest you idiots!”

“It’s all over. How do you beat those bastards holding on behind you? “Just get off to the side!”

Some of the Warsaw soldiers who heard that sweet temptation looked to the side, and when they looked closely, they saw that there were no soldiers of the Reich Empire in the real forest.

Then, the Warsaw soldiers began to pour all their capabilities into escaping left and right in order to escape the situation that was pushing them from front and rear and survive.

The Warsaw officers who saw this scolded the soldiers who had lost their minds to avoid the imminent crisis, and shouted as they chased down and cut down anyone they caught sight of.

“You crazy people, get to the rear! “We have to go to the rear!”

“If we just break through the Reich Empire’s infantry reserves, we can all survive!”

“Trust the captain! “Follow the commander’s instructions!”

However, the soldiers, who were already in panic, did their best to escape to the side as if their souls had escaped.

As a result, unlike before, they completely lost the power to resist the imperial army tightening from front and rear, and the massacre of the imperial army intensified.

In this way, the Reich Imperial Army achieved victory by slaughtering the terrified Warsaw soldiers until the sun set and it became dark.

Although we were unable to capture the enemy’s commander, Captain Tateushu, the battle was more successful than capturing the commander-in-chief in any other battle.

Reich Empire Army dead 6,500 wounded 7,000

Grand Duchy of Warsaw Army dead 60,000 seriously wounded 20,000 prisoners 14,000

Captain Jaeger, who heard of this performance, said with a chuckle.

“With this, the Warsaw bastards will not be able to urinate towards the Reich Reich for the next 10 years.”
