I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy Chapter 51

EP.51

“What are those bastards, hiding somewhere and then suddenly appearing and attacking from the side? “f*ck!”

“I thought I could just beat the damn crown prince here until his head falls off, and I liked it.”

“You damn Reich rats.”

400m. As soon as we get within a distance of exchanging magic and arrows, we begin to clearly hear the curse-filled accusations that the enemy soldiers are spewing out at random.

As the commander who proposed this operation, hearing the enemy’s criticism directly makes me feel better, even though victory has not yet been confirmed.

After all, sincere criticism from enemy soldiers is like a measure of how fatal my operation is to the enemy.

“If you hold out here just a little longer, His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Andrei will send reinforcements! “Hold on a little!”

“Long live the Principality of Czechia! Long live the great Archduke of Czechoslovakia! These vile and evil Reich bastards suddenly appear after hiding like rats. “Kill it!”

“Do not be afraid! “The crown prince, their leader, is already suffering from us without even being able to do anything!”

Although Czechoslovak commanders tried to calm their agitated soldiers, it was only a temporary measure.

If we gain the upper hand, the morale of the soldiers will quickly plummet to the ground.

And just then, the magic and arrows of allies and enemies began to fly towards each other.

“A Jaeger battalion long-distance attack is coming! “Keep moving forward silently like a rock, just like you have done so far!”

All I can do now is pray to Deus, whom I don’t really believe in, and move towards the enemy lines.

“Great Deus, if you leave here now, you will die without ever being able to marry Carmella. Please save me.”

“You told me to live chastely and never be indebted to war merchants. “Save your innocent lamb.”

“How much did I donate?” “I trust you won’t abandon me here.”

I think all the soldiers feel the same way as me in this situation.

They, like me, are looking for God and moving towards their enemies one step at a time.

Now, if you hold out for the next 6 minutes, which feels like an eternity, you will be free from long-distance attacks that require you to be attacked unilaterally without being able to use your hands or feet.

I desperately hoped that the time would pass quickly and waited for the close-quarters combat to come, where I would fight fair and square with spears and swords.

“This is crazy! I want to live. “I want to run away!”

“mom! dad! “Aww Emily!”

“Chase Watson! “Ugh!”

I couldn’t look around because if I turned my head in a different direction, there was a high possibility that I would be killed immediately.

However, just from the sounds I heard around me, I was able to figure out that a few unlucky people had been killed by magic or arrows, and that there was a bastard who had been executed for trying to desert out of fear from the violence from afar.

It’s really unfortunate that the guy was killed by a wizard or archer, but the kid who tried to desert and fell behind is really outrageous.

In an infantry battle where hundreds of allies die in return for one soldier leaving his position, who would save a deserting soldier?

I have no choice but to kill him as quickly as possible to prevent him from spreading fear and desertion to other unit members.

“You idiot. “If I was going to desert, I would have survived if I did it while camping or during a rapid march.”

As I walked silently, thinking about all sorts of random things, I suddenly noticed the tips of the enemies’ spears shining silver.

The long-distance attacks flying towards the Jaeger battalion also completely stopped.

“Arrange your formation! Reorganize your formation and look straight at the dirty Czech bastards in front of you. “It is time to get revenge on those bastards who killed our precious comrades!”

As I raised my luck like this, my soldiers organized their formation and shouted.

“Let’s kill them all! Let’s saturate this land with their blood!”

“You guys are all dead. This is your grave site. “If you find out, tell me to die.”

“Long live the battalion commander! Long live His Majesty the Crown Prince! Long live the Reich Reich!”

The enemy soldiers were also muttering something as if they would not give in to the insults and were approaching without stopping to fight us, and I looked around to find their weak point.

It seems that the enemy commander is a really stupid person and that the troops guarding his surroundings have been selected as elites.

This is because although the enemy soldiers were mainly conscripts from serfs, they all had good physiques and seemed to have high morale.

Of course, if you hit him with an infantry pyeongon, he’ll become nice right away.

“Wizard crossbowmen, shoot at the enemy all at once! “Kill them all!”

As the wizards and crossbowmen waited for this moment, they simultaneously poured a huge amount of firepower at the enemies.

Normally, when close to the enemy, each crossbowman would fire about 2 shots to get a good shot.

Although they must have been exhausted from the rapid march today, they fired nearly three salvos.

It is said that actual combat is the best way to learn, and under the extreme tension of war, one naturally improved one’s skills.

“Use magic and arrows right in front of you cowardly bastards…”

“Do your parents know that you live like that? “These bastards have no warning whatsoever.”

“Oh shit…”

Thanks to that, the enemy soldiers died like leaves falling in the autumn wind.

The morale of our soldiers began to rise proportionally, as if it would pierce the sky.

“I took a good look at the dirty things!”

“When you were alive, you were so loud and ugly, but when you died, you became very quiet and pretty!”

“Oppa will make it pretty! Kyahahaha!”

Since I had been marching rapidly for several hours, I was worried that my stamina would decrease and my ability to perform the battle would deteriorate.

I guess my morale went up thanks to my anger at having worked so hard to get to this point and building up my physical strength by doing as much aerobic exercise as possible, such as cantering.

It seems that his fighting ability has increased compared to usual as his will to win and return alive has burned.

So you won’t have to lose in close combat.

“Knights, preserve your stamina! Also, Lieutenant Laura, please take my platoon on my behalf and visit the division commander and get about 30 horses!”

When raiding the enemy’s headquarters, the rule is to mobilize as many troops as possible and aim to break through the center.

This increases the chances of killing at least one more enemy soldier and killing the enemy commander who is protected deepest inside.

Therefore, what I instructed was somewhat contrary to common sense.

Is it because of the strange behavior that goes beyond common sense and the enormous criminal record that follows it?

“I understand, Major! “The 1st platoon under my direct control will leave the unit with me and move to where the division commander is.”

“The knight company stands by at the rear of the battalion! Everyone get off your horses. “Preserve the horse’s stamina as much as possible.”

Both commanders followed my orders without questioning anything.

Then, in order to participate in the war as an infantryman, I got off my horse and changed my weapon to the infantry pyeongon that I had previously strapped on.

“It’s time to grind your enemies like minced meat! “Everyone charge at once!”

In response to my command, the soldiers in the first, second, and third rows slowly began to move towards the enemies as one body.

The enemy commanders, taken aback by our momentum, began to panic.

“If you don’t want to die, pick up the spear! Unite! If you want to live, do what you were taught!”

“Don’t be afraid, you lowly commoners! “The one who gets scared will die first!”

When I saw that, I sighed.

This is because even if the soldiers’ fear is contagious to the commander, if the officers of that unit come to their senses, the soldiers can calm down and regain their fighting ability.

When a high-ranking person shows a panicked appearance, the soldiers see that appearance and become more aware of the crisis facing them.

That means morale is dropping and combat power is at an all-time low.

Our NCOs and platoon leaders did not miss the enemy’s weaknesses… he said with a grin.

“Tune in to one, two, three! Walk in one, stab in two, and take out in three!”

“You are all one piece!”

“Move as one body! Then you can definitely live!”

The soldiers must have felt somewhat reassured when they heard the familiar commands of NCOs and platoon leaders that they had heard countless times during training again on the battlefield.

It’s something I’ve always heard and done, so just do what you’ve been doing.

Soon after, the infantry of the Jaeger Battalion and the enemy infantry clashed.

They and we stabbed each other, hit the poles, and exchanged swear words.

It’s time to slowly chip away at each other.

The spearmen began fighting with the intention of killing each other, and before they knew it, they could no longer see anything except the enemy in front of them.

“Die, die!”

“Get away with your dead mother!”

“Look at him shaking! I feel sorry for you so I have to send it to you quickly. bye!”

In this way, the soldiers are blinded by the enemies in front of them, and the commanders’ vision gradually narrows.

“Toward the Pyeongon unit! “The battalion commander takes the lead!”

Now is the time when we have the best chance of winning.
