Academy Genius Commander - Chapter 450
450 – The soldiers of a hostile country have a hard time (6)
A mouse cornered will inevitably bite the cat.
The moment when the mouse knows that it is destined to die anyway if it bites the cat or not.
The cat is going to die anyway, so watching out for the possibility of the cat escaping while in pain may be the only way to survive…
If the mouse turns its head even slightly, it will inevitably bite the cat’s paw when cornered.
When the soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and officers of the United Kingdom Army were faced with a situation in which they believed there was no ‘way out,’ they all united, regardless of whether their morale was high or low, to strike out and bite ‘the hand of the imperial army.’
“f*ck, if this continues, we’ll all die!”
“Let’s kill at least one more Reich Empire bastard and die!”
“The platoon leader is at the forefront! Squad leader, let’s not make your way to heaven a lonely one!”
Junior officers such as platoon commanders and company commanders stood at the vanguard with swords and began the charge, risking death or not.
The troops under their command gathered around them and began to fiercely push the imperial army.
“Break the heads of the Reich Empire!”
Although the overall situation of the war was already tilted towards the Reich Imperial Army, the situation of the war changed slightly when one variable arose.
Until just now, the scum of the United Kingdom Army, who would die just by stabbing them with a spear, suddenly became stronger.
The imperial soldiers began to retreat one step at a time, facing strong resistance unlike before.
“Reorganize your formation!”
“Rebuild Jinjin!”
“Don’t be too hasty! “The Goddess of War is on our side!”
United Kingdom soldiers gained great hope when they saw the Imperial infantry retreating to reorganize, which was very common on the battlefield.
Up until now, they had only been beaten one-sidedly, but aren’t their enemies taking a step back because they are struggling?
‘Are these bastards retreating because they are scared of us?’
If Peter Yeager had heard this, he would have laughed at how these children had deluded themselves into happy delusions, but to those who had just experienced despair that there was absolutely no way for them to survive, even this small movement seemed too big.
When the hope circuit was completely blown out, a report came to Peter Yeager.
“Your Excellency Generalissimo, the resistance from the soldiers of the United Kingdom is surprisingly strong right now.”
After hearing those words, Peter Jaeger smiled broadly.
“Is that so? Just wait a moment. I knew this would happen and wrote down the numbers in advance. “I told the other generals, ‘The United Kingdom Army’s last resistance will end in absurdity.’”
The officer who came as a messenger had doubts about those words, but…
The opponent was a walking textbook of military science for the Reich Empire and a war monster himself…
‘If His Excellency the Marshal says so, then so be it.’
Believing that, I immediately stepped back.
On the other hand, George, the Marshal of the United Kingdom Army, who received the report at the same time, was overjoyed.
“The Reich Imperial Army retreated to reorganize its formation! Damn it, Deus didn’t abandon us!”
The staff of the United Kingdom Army cheered when they heard those words.
“The Reich Empire is finished now!”
“f*ck it, I can go back alive!”
“…… If we continue like this, we can conclude peace negotiations with even a little advantage based on this victory!”
Like the soldiers, they have given up on victory at a strategic level, but they are burning the hope of victory in battle.
As expected of people who are learning, although their hope circuits were spinning to the point where they exploded, their thoughts were based on reality.
And at this time, the United Kingdom army began to be pushed back again.
This is because Laura, who was in charge of the infantry, and Anya, who was in charge of the archers and knights, attacked them very fiercely.
“Knights and archers, do it like this!” Hippo! After that, prove that our knights and archers are strong even without horses! Don’t be pushed down by Captain Laura!”
“Prove that you are not weak enough to be pushed around by dismounted knights. You can’t be pushed around by Captain Kergit!”
From noble mtl dot com
When these two gave this order, the imperial infantry, knights, and archers applied even stronger pressure from all directions except for the gap that Peter Yeager had deliberately created.
“Kill no one left behind!”
Human weapons wearing plate armor that could not be pierced by arrows or swords ran rampant.
“I can kill weaklings like you with my fists!”
After saying that, one of the knights struck the United Kingdom soldier’s face with his steel gauntlets, crushing his skull.
The archers carried short cavalry swords and ran wild through the enemy lines.
“The Khan is watching! Do not fight shamefully against our Khan! Rather than die in shame, fight honorably like a northern warrior!”
Those who were called the best on horseback fought without being ashamed of being called the best even when they got off the horse…
Despite the fact that the United Kingdom soldiers were fighting with desperate determination, they slowly began to be pushed back again.
“Whoa, what the f*ck…”
“Fill the empty spots left by those who died! “Resist until the last one!”
“If you don’t want to die, fight until you die! “We retreat little by little and unite!”
In the meantime, a path of escape appeared in the eyes of a soldier at the vanguard of the United Kingdom infantry.
A fairly large hole that can accommodate 2-3 platoons at a time.
“Can I really survive if I go there?”
I decided to risk my life and fight in order to make a last stand against the imperial soldiers who had tightened the siege.
If I could survive through there, there was no reason to fight and die here.
‘I might be a noble officer, but there is no need for me, a soldier, to die here. I have to go back to my hometown and get married.’
After making that decision, he threw down the spear.
If the non-commissioned officer had noticed him, he would have had his head blown off or been stabbed with a spear, but he was not caught because everyone was busy fighting.
Then Sergeant James of the United Kingdom threw down his spear and started running for dear life.
“f*ck it, I will come back alive!”
After seeing that, all the members of his platoon, including the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader, looked dumbfounded.
“That bastard is deserting!”
“Platoon leader!!”
“You can’t catch that! “Just give up!”
As the conversation continued, for some reason, the eyes of the platoon members continued to be focused on the man who had deserted from the enemy war, and they did not know how to leave.
Sergeant James deserted while shouting, “f*ck you,” But surprisingly, the Imperial soldiers did nothing to stop him.
The platoon members he was a member of, who watched the scene, cried out in astonishment.
“Huh, what the f*ck?”
“If you go out through the gap you see over there, don’t you think you can go home alive?”
“There’s no need for anything, we’re just fighting to get home, what are we fighting to win?”
When the platoon leader heard that story, his heart broke.
If all the members of the platoon ran away, their military career and life would be completely over.
“No, f*ck! Don’t run away! Fight until the end for the United Kingdom!”
However, contrary to what he had hoped, all members of the platoon threw away their weapons and started running towards the gap that the imperial army had deliberately created.
“f*ck, run!”
The platoon members that James belonged to were, of course, able to escape the battlefield without encountering any attack or resistance.
And in an instant, this news slowly began to spread through the company, battalion, and regiment that James belonged to.
“There is a gap in the Reich Imperial Army’s formation!”
“If you go out there, you can escape safely. One platoon deserted without encountering any resistance!”
“If you want to return alive, run that way!”
Of course, the officers went to the guy who said that and cut off his head.
“Desertion from the enemy is a real punishment!”
However, even if a few officers cut off their heads as an example, it was impossible to stop the flood that had already begun to explode.
Thousands and tens of thousands of soldiers flocked towards the various gaps opened by the Reich Imperial Army, and they even threw away their weapons to show that they had no intention of fighting.
As they started running toward the very narrow gap, the United Kingdom soldiers soon completely lost their fighting ability.
As Peter Yeager said, in an instant, they have now become like walking scarecrows.
Imperial soldiers cheered when they saw that.
“Leave the one who fell through the gap alone!”
“Just kill those nearby!”
“Let’s kill at least one more guy and change his fate!”
At the same time, the imperial army began massacring the fleeing soldiers of the United Kingdom.
Without exaggeration, if you were to talk about fishing, it was half water and half fish… No, it was enough to kill any soldier in front of you just by holding a spear and stabbing it.
The lives of thousands and tens of thousands of United Kingdom soldiers were disappearing in an instant.
Nevertheless, none of the soldiers of the United Kingdom, who had already chosen to throw away their weapons and run away, thought of resisting.
This is because there is a much higher chance of survival if you run away from your comrades in front of you rather than doing something crazy like hitting the iron wall in front of you with your bare hands.
“……. Run like this!”
On the other hand, Marshal George, who was seeing this war situation with his own eyes, threw the commander-in-chief of the United Kingdom to the ground.
It was the same action as throwing away his authority, pride, and hope as the head of the United Kingdom.
Then he knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
“Why doesn’t Deus even allow us an honorable end? “Peter Yeager, you little bastard who will fall into hell, you’re enjoying homos*xuality with heretics!”
If we were to translate it into a 21st century Korean swear word, it would be equivalent to dating a pig living in the North and having a third child.
But the cry was empty.
On this day, Peter Yeager slaughtered 120,000 soldiers of the United Kingdom and captured all the remaining soldiers, except for 20,000 who succeeded in deserting.
It was a perfect, or even better, victory.
After receiving this result, Peter Yeager sighed and said to his subordinate:
“There are no more people in François who can interfere with our troops, so our war is almost over. Please tell His Majesty to start peddling rice balls.”
