I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy Chapter 151

EP.151

Anastasia Kergit has lived her entire life as a warrior of the White Wolf tribe, so she has her own wild sense and way of thinking that is different from the officers of the Empire.

So, unlike other imperial commanders, she was able to freely use tactics like driving and hunting animals in actual battle.

Using that advantage, he was able to win in Hattin Forest by freely driving the opponent’s knights in far greater numbers than the warriors he led.

Even now, as always, he came up with and shouted out the best way to hunt down enemy crossbowmen and wizards.

“An opportunity has come to work for the Reich Empire and the Emperor, who saved our tribe from being trampled upon by Ludvik and provided a foundation for our tribe to live with pride! But I don’t think there’s anyone here who wants to run away because he’s scared of death!”

The archers laughed as if their mouths would hurt if they said it twice, and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Anastasia with a determined expression.

“Moreover, the one who commands us in this battle did his best to give us a place to live. This is Chief Jaeger, who defeated the tribe’s enemies with his own sword. Therefore, even if I were to die here, I wouldn’t have any time left. What about you?”

At those words, the archers raised their bows upward to show their agreement, and Anastasia strengthened her resolve to help the warden this time by completing her duties at any cost.

“From now on, our archer cavalry will hunt the Swiss wizard and crossbowman cubs like driving a bear. So follow my instructions and move like a sword! “Everyone let’s go!”

Having said that, she became a nobleman and officer of the empire, but in hunting, she ran at the front to keep the tradition that the tribal chief should take the lead.

The rest of the archers rode quickly behind Anastasia.

After riding like that for about 3 minutes, the archers led by Anastasia caught the eyes of the Swiss crossbowmen and wizards.

The crossbowmen and wizards at the rear of the Swiss army were surprised to see the archers suddenly appearing and tried to change their formation as quickly as possible to respond.

“Prepare to fire a salvo! After shooting, exit to the left with all your might and fire one more shot!”

It was faster for the archers to fire a rain of arrows at them than for them to change formation and aim their crossbows and staffs at Colonel Anastasia.

The Swiss long-distance unit that was suddenly hit by an arrow completely missed the right moment to attack, and taking advantage of the opportunity, the archers led by Lieutenant Colonel Anastasia quickly fled the scene, fired one more shot, and disappeared like the wind.

As a result, the arrows and magic only hit the places where the archers passed by and did not cause any significant damage.

The Swiss soldiers, who were attacked by the archers who suddenly appeared, poured out curses about this ridiculous situation.

“Have the Reich pigs now joined hands with barbarians who are no better than dogs or dwarfs?”

“Looking at you like that, do you think you sold your soul to the devil?”

“I don’t know who the bastard in command is, but he must be a bastard without a mother or father. This is a baby like this! ”

Anastasia could have been angry at those words, but she had heard from Major General Jaeger that swearing by the enemy was a tool to prove that he was good at fighting.

Satisfied that everything was going well, I looked around again.

The crossbowmen and wizards of Switzerland suffered great damage from a blow to the back of the head from horse archers that no one could have expected.

Nevertheless, they were in a dilemma as to whether they should focus on supporting the Swiss infantry as ordered by Count Ticino, or whether they should deal with the horse archers targeting their backs since they were also under attack.

“Company Commander, if we continue like this, all of our crossbowmen will die. “If this continues, we will all die.”

“You know that, but the orders given to us are to support the front line from the rear.”

“If we collapse, we won’t be able to provide forward support anyway.”

Because the situation was so chaotic, Anastasia even considered taking this opportunity to dig in with a knife.

“Originally, according to our method, we would have to circle around here and shoot arrows, but what we are dealing with are wizards and crossbowmen. So, rather than spinning around in a fixed spot, I will use a strategy of adjusting my speed and wandering around them. everyone! Load arrows and charge!”

Operationally, the role given to the archers was to completely distract the Swiss long-range attackers who were providing support fire from the rear.

It was decided that moving irregularly and targeting their backs was the most effective way to harass the Swiss soldiers.

She made that judgment when the Swiss soldiers came to their senses, gave up supporting the infantry, and focused on long-distance attacks on the archers, which numbered only about 400.

“Send a signal to Colonel Werner! “The only way to win is to have the knights attack when all the attention is on us!”

After giving that command, he once again fired arrows at the Swiss crossbowmen and wizards.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Werner was currently leading the 400 knights under his command with the title of senior battalion commander, but he was a man with an ambition to end up with the rank of colonel as soon as possible.

Therefore, he was thirsty for achievements that would definitely stand out.

An opportunity he couldn’t miss has come to him.

“For the great Empire and for Director Jaeger, who will become its youngest ever Marshal! Are you ready to risk your life for our honor and wealth?”

At those words, the knights raised their voices with sincerity.

That’s because among the drivers here, when they got injured and were in trouble due to medical bills or other circumstances, Peter Yeager, who happened to be on suspension at the time, came to their house and helped them.

This is because the knights of the 7th Division, who heard such stories directly from their colleagues, were prepared to jump into the fire for their commander, whom they respected.

“good night. Then everyone, grab your lance and follow me! As always, it is the senior commander’s privilege to lead the charge! “If it’s unfair, you too can get promoted!”

It was a playful remark that was slightly out of place for the senior commander of the knights, but being at the forefront of the knights’ assault was a very difficult and dangerous position with the highest chance of death.

Among officers who became nobles, it was a position that everyone was reluctant to take unless they had a very strong desire to succeed.

However, the fact that Werner, the highest rank among the knights, always took the lead always kept the morale of the knights of the 7th Division at the highest level.

This time too, everyone slowly approached the location of the Swiss long-range troops with the determination to absolutely crush Switzerland.

When the Reich Empire’s knights approached the Swiss infantry at about 300 meters, the archers fired their last arrows and then moved away.

Only then did the Swiss wizards and archers realize that the knights of the Reich Empire were coming towards them.

“We need to call the reserves, form a square, block them, and get support!”

“You idiot, I’m going to hit you in less than 2-3 minutes, so what kind of support are you giving me? “I’m in a situation where I just have to keep shooting magic to catch my ankle!”

“Shoot all the arrows you have! Then, pull out a knife or whatever and hold on!”

As Switzerland has many experienced soldiers and officers, even in this situation, they showed a movement to find the best course of action and try to resist in any way possible.

Soldiers who have neither the ability nor the equipment to engage in close combat cannot withstand the attack of horses and knights weighing 0.5 tons.

Therefore, upon seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Werner decided that the crossbowmen and wizards of Switzerland were over.

“We need to hit them in a straight formation, not in a wedge formation, to cause as much damage as possible!”

An order was given to spread the formation wide and pierce through the soldiers who were unable to resist with the weight of the horses and the lances of the knights.

Now, the knights of the Reich Empire approached those who were unable to resist and were doomed to being trampled by horses’ hooves, being pierced by spears, being run over by horses, and dying somewhere else.

“Prepare for shock!”

With those words, the imperial knights tightened their thighs, brought their bodies as close to their horses as possible, and advanced, crushing the Swiss soldiers using the weight of their lances and horses.

These people have become minced meat. Two or three people were impaled and skewered by spears called lances. A person experiences flight for the first time in his life after being hit by a horse.

A scene that could be said to be the worst hell ever seen in the human world spread out across a wide expanse, and of course these screams reached the Swiss infantry.

In particular, Count Ticino, who was trying to win the infantry battle by deploying reserves, looked devastated.

However, I didn’t give up.

Because he still had a thousand ambushers left.

Although we lost soldiers capable of long-distance attacks.

“Anyway, 90% of battles take place in infantry warfare. So we still have a chance. can win. “Take out the soldiers of the 1st Regiment and have them defend the rear.”
