Academy Genius Commander
Chapter 115
115 – Battle of Hattin Forest (7)
After witnessing the sight of Major General Pompadour of the Republic personally leading his unit into this situation, Brigadier General Jaeger took off his helmet and slapped his face. Pinched.
The officers and soldiers who saw the scene suddenly looked puzzled and asked why they were like that, but the brigadier general did not pay any attention to them.
No, it was because I was so surprised by the enemy captain’s stupid behavior that I couldn’t pay attention to such a reaction.
“There are definitely more soldiers there, so you can think that you can turn the tide of the war. “There’s no use doing that now that the tide is already completely tilted in our direction, but tsk.”
Rather, the division commander personally led his unit to the front line to try to turn the situation around when retreating and minimizing his losses would not be enough.
It may be effective for a short time at first, but not only will it not be able to reverse the situation in the end, but the loss will only increase as the time to run back is missed.
It goes without saying that the deeper a division commander penetrates into enemy territory, the more likely he is to be captured.
The brigadier clicked his tongue and ordered his soldiers.
“Send available units to the center to provide support and strengthen the siege. If you do well, you will be able to capture the enemy commander alive.”
At the same time as those words were said, several platoons were selected from the units that were spared in the Reich Empire’s camp and moved to support the center.
As a result, Pompadour’s shallow tactic of breaking through the center and turning the situation around was completely blocked.
As the situation progressed like this, Brigadier General Jaeger felt like he wanted to take action on his own, just like when he defeated Ludvik.
When a commander who commands over 4,000 troops takes the lead, the morale of the soldiers increases and they have the opportunity to directly achieve achievements.
If you are unlucky, there are many cases where your commander will be killed by an enemy soldier and you will lose the war.
So, the brigadier decided to calm down his itching body and continue to take command from the center.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Werner, who was leading the brigade’s knights, stopped attacking the wizards and crossbowmen and turned his horse’s head toward where the infantry of the Francois Republic were.
While waiting for some time for the knights to catch their breath, I observed the current battle situation as meticulously as possible.
He pondered in his mind how to target the enemy to achieve victory.
When he thought about it for about 10 minutes, a vision as if he could see a line of light appeared in Lieutenant Colonel Werner’s eyes.
‘If you charge over there, I can greatly help you win this battle.’
I was convinced of this.
So he immediately pulled out his sword from his waist and gave an order to the knights around him.
“Spread the formation wide! From the usual 8 rows to a 4 rows!! “We form a new formation in four rows, and we attack the Francois guys ahead of us!”
Just as Brigadier General Yeager, whom he respects, once used the tactic of spreading out his troops and attacking them to make the number of friendly forces appear larger.
When the knights charge all at once, if you deploy 4 rows to create a formation as wide as possible while maintaining attack power.
It was believed that the number and area of enemy infantry that could be damaged by attacking at once would be doubled, and that it would be more effective in breaking the enemy’s morale.
“François, I am going to trample on the baby snails! Each person draws a weapon such as a sword or mace and runs while looking straight ahead! “We will dominate this battlefield!”
After saying that, Lieutenant Colonel Werner spurred his horse at the front of the center of the line and rode forward.
300 Knights of the Reich Empire followed suit and charged to exploit the enemy’s weakness.
Then, the sound of the ground shaking became louder and louder to the soldiers of the Republic, and when they heard the sound, they began to fall into fear.
“f*ck, knights are coming from behind!”
“Pike, put down the polearm! Stop it now!”
“This is the platoon commander’s order! “First of all, lower the windows on those who can block the square!”
They began to struggle as hard as they could to survive, but the eyes of the company commanders and above, who could properly control this situation, were fixed on the Reich infantry in front of them.

Unable to respond properly, he was trampled by the horses of the knights of the empire and was unilaterally struck by their weapons such as swords and maces.
As a result, Franco and his infantrymen turned into pieces of fresh meat that had just been alive and died, spattering blood.
Of course, the shock started from the rear and spread to those who were fighting the Reich Empire’s infantry at the front.
“f*ck, f*ck! “They were attacked by enemy knights behind us!”
“You stupid bastard. Don’t turn your attention back! “I can’t see the window flying in front of me!”
“Shut up, damn it. “We are all dead now!”
Pompadour, who saw this, sat down holding his head with a devastated expression and cried out.
“f*ck you, you f*cking bastards! Why, why on earth!! Are we going to have to lose to less than half the Reich bastards?”
Normally, there would have been at least one person to comfort the commander who cried out like that, but the officers of the Francois Empire did not respond, but instead put their arms around both of his armpits and forcibly lifted him up.
In order to avoid the worst situation of the commander being captured, I tried to force him out…
“Commander, escape is impossible now! Take a look! The rear is in complete chaos because the imperial knights have attacked the rear! Officers above company commanders also cut down several rampaging soldiers for control. Those who are openly trying to desert are coming out indiscriminately.”
“Is that the problem? You f*cking bastard! Immediately, cover the division commander with a cloth and send him off like an ordinary soldier escorting a wounded soldier!”
“I understand!”
But now, the soldiers of the Reich Imperial Army have annihilated or deserted about half of the troops directly commanded by the commander and have arrived right in front of the division commander.
“There are a lot of bastards over there with gold lacquered armor! Captivate the high-class snail babies!”
“If you catch just one, your life will bloom! Everyone, cheer up.”
“If you catch the kid wearing the flashiest armor, they’ll give you a reward and a discharge certificate right away. Charge!”
When the soldiers of the empire caught sight of high-quality prey in front of them, they went out in excitement, hoping to capture it somehow and enjoy the bloom of their lives.
“Charge forward! Charge!!”
“It’s a melee anyway! “Knock him with a stick and a mace until he passes out!”
“Let’s go wild a little more and be discharged quickly!”
A close battle continued between the imperial soldiers and the Francois Republic army, including the division commander, but the imperial army, which had the upper hand, did not hand over the flow to the other party.
At the same time, missing the opportunity to take Pompadour to the rear, the number of officers and soldiers guarding the side began to gradually decrease.
Pompadour, who understood the situation, tried to put a dagger to his own throat, thinking that he would rather commit suicide and avoid the worst than be taken prisoner.
At that time, an Imperial soldier thought that he couldn’t just let a bastard who looked expensive in gold armor die on his own, so he rushed towards the division commander, who was being protected by several officers.
Then he overtook several Republic officers and launched himself at the enemy commander with all his might.
Pompadour fell backwards with a thumping sound without even being able to resist properly.
The soldier spoke, gently inserting the dagger at his waist into the armor of the man beneath him.
“Corporal Erwin of Brown Platoon’s 1st Squad captured the enemy commander!”
As soon as those words rang out, solemn silence fell on the battlefield, and soon the Republic soldiers sat down on the ground and put down their weapons.
The soldiers of the Reich Empire began to capture the disarmed soldiers of the Francois Republic one by one and make them surrender.
“Put down your weapon and lie down! “If you don’t lie down, I will kill you.”
“If you don’t want to die, surrender immediately!”
“If you hold the spear and tremble, you idiot, I will kill you.”
Because the soldiers and officers of the Francois Republic who heard those words did not resist and surrendered very obediently.
The battlefield cleanup was able to be completed very quickly.
Of course, the war ended with a landslide victory for the Reich Army’s Peter Jaeger.
On this day, in the imperial army, 12 archers, 23 knights, 12 wizards, 70 crossbowmen, and 300 infantry were seriously injured or killed.
In the French Republic, 420 knights and 5,700 infantry were killed, and 3,000 people, including infantry and knights, were taken prisoner.
And Brigadier General Jaeger mobilized prisoners and immediately began clearing the battlefield.
