190 – Linz Plain Grand Battle (2)
Lieutenant General Peter Jaeger was reading the enemy’s momentum near the vanguard of the 7th Guards Division.
I don’t know what the Austrian army is saying, but I can see that the army is shaken by arrows and magic, as the angry and evil sounds continue to come out.
A large number of soldiers would be marching in a state of great fear after seeing the soldier next to them die in fear while trying to run away.
Even in such a situation, the Archduke of Austria would think that he could win by pushing through numbers.
‘You stupid archduke. You know very well that war is not just a game of numbers, but you are trying to see everything only through numbers.’
Lieutenant General Yeager saw their shaking appearance and wondered how to inflict the greatest damage if they collided head-on.
When there was only about 20 meters left between the enemy forces, there was less than 30 seconds left for the two armies to clash their spears.
“Raise the assault planes and send the military band signal. The entire army aims their spears at the enemy’s neck and runs and charges. “First, we begin by destroying the enemy vanguard.”
At those words, the sound of trumpets and drums rang out very cheerfully, or at a chaotic pace, and the command was delivered by repeating the assault plane’s flaps to the left and right three times.
“Everyone, aim your spears at the enemy’s neck! “I charge forward with the determination of becoming a knight!”
“A frightened cub will be trampled to death or stabbed to death by an enemy!”
“Roll down the windows in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rows and stab them! You will think you are a stone and will hit you! “Do you understand?”
At the same time as those words were spoken, the soldiers ran forward at full speed, aiming their spears at the enemy as they had been trained so far.

“Die, you dirty Austrian bastards! “You guys are not worth living!”
“I’ll send you to your dead parents! “You bastards!”
“Long live the Reich Empire! Long live your Majesty the Emperor! Long live Deus! “You dirty gay looking bastards!”
Perhaps it was the result of endlessly repeated training, the soldiers of the Reich Empire charged without hesitation, like berserkers who had been freed from the feeling of fear.
The Austrian soldiers who witnessed this scene directly from the opposite side felt a fear that was understandable but unbearable.
Because usually those who charge like this are forced to do so by command, so the tip of the spear should shake and look restless.
This is because the crazy cow-like guys running in front of me at high speed were approaching without any sign of hesitation.
The soldiers and officers could not help but feel fear and fear when they saw the charging behavior that was completely outside of their common sense, and some of the cowardly people even messed with their pants.
Quite a number of soldiers immediately turned their eyes to the terrifying sight.
“f*ck you, you crazy bastards, look ahead!! “Just aim your spear and you will survive!”
“Come to your senses and point your spear in the direction they are coming from!!! “You bastards!”
“What are you afraid of, those charging bastards?! “They are crazy bastards bent on death!”
The officers shouted at the top of their lungs using vulgar language to calm the soldiers, but the terrified Austrian soldiers could not come to their senses in less than 10 seconds.
And of course, the result was that the Reich Imperial Army, which had no soldiers who were too scared to charge properly, inflicted enormous damage on the Austrian soldiers.
“The first and second lines have been cleared, battalion commander!”
“Rearrange your formation! Organize your formation first! If we continue like this, the formation will collapse.”
“You crazy bastards! If you step back, you die! Die.”
In the most severe division among the divisions deployed in the Austrian army, 1/2 of the soldiers deployed in the first line and 1/5 of the second line were blown away in a single charge.
The number of troops killed in this single charge amounted to 0.6% Of the total troops.
It wasn’t that many in terms of numbers, but the impact of losing 0.6% In one charge naturally spread to all units.
Lieutenant General Peter Jaeger, commanding the Reich Imperial Army, naturally did not miss this opportunity.
‘The allies’ physical strength is much stronger than that of the enemies, so if they fight from the front in a long-term battle, the allies have the advantage. However, if possible, we must kill at least one more person when the first attack works in order to save at least one more imperial soldier.’
Thinking so, he immediately gave orders to increase the impact of the charge on the Austrian army as much as possible.
“First line spearmen of the 7th Guards Division, grab the sidearms strapped to your waist and stir up the battlefield! The soldiers in the 2nd and 3rd rows fight while covering the soldiers in the 1st row with long spears! “We will make the most of this momentum and break through.”
When the order was given, the staff member next to me asked.
“Lieutenant General, it may be a good idea to use the momentum now to completely drive the enemy away. “How about sending in handgun soldiers and two-handed swordsmen to collapse their camp?”
“If the forces of the friendly and enemy forces are similar, it would be right to do so. However, today’s battle must continue for a long time. So it is much better to inflict moderate damage to them over a long period of time. “If we rush, we could be put in a disadvantageous situation.”
“I understand, I will proceed as ordered.”
At the same time as the staff responded, dozens of messengers were dispatched to each division, and the military band sent designated signals to each unit.
The soldiers of the imperial army followed orders, and the soldiers at the front massacred the hesitant Austrian soldiers with long spears using weapons such as one-handed swords, maces, and axes.
One person, two people, three people, four people. The number of soldiers dying continued to increase, and the Austrian soldiers could not carelessly kill the Reich soldiers who were covered by long spears.
“Kill those bastards! “Don’t let those guys upset our formation!”
“It’s easier said than done, but if you get close, they’ll stab you with a polearm and you won’t be able to get in!”
“Push in at all costs! “If we can’t get in somehow, we’ll lose!”
After saying that, the commanders of the Austrian army pulled out their swords from their belts, waved them in the air, and shouted.
“We must stop the Reich Army at all costs! From now on, I will personally cut down anyone who hesitates!”
“They are people too! Person! If you stab it, you’ll die!”
“Soldiers in the 1st and 2nd lines put down their long spears and switch to one-handed weapons! Then we fight back!”
The judgment made by the officers of the Austrian army was accurate, but the response of the officers of the Reich army was very quick.
“Soldiers in the first line should move back immediately!”
“Get a new polearm and rejoin!”
“You worked hard, now we will take care of the rest.”
At the same time as the order, the soldiers who had fought hard in the first line quickly retreated, and both armies formed a long spear square again and began fighting to break each other’s formation.
“Reich Empire, you crazy bastard! “How the f*ck can you hold a long spear and attack me like that?”
“Aren’t you guys afraid of dying?”
“You cows in heat! Die!!”
The soldiers of the Reich Empire mocked the soldiers of the Austrian Empire who were unable to use their hands or feet in their reckless assault.
“You guys, you guys, aren’t even worth the size of a pea… Why are you talking so much?”
“If I were you, I would start wearing skirts and become a woman from today. “How much is it without going to the military?”
“Austrian girls are really good at throwing spears in the air!”
On the other hand, the Archduke of Austria, who received reports of all of this from afar…
“Damn it, Lieutenant General Peter Yeager! How on earth did they train their soldiers so that not a single one of them was afraid and picked up his long spear and rammed it into the long spear square?! “A devilish bastard, worse than Satan.”
It was best to just swear like that, and he asked irritably.
“Captain Martius! Lieutenant Benner! Why are the Reich Imperial Army so strong when it comes to soldiers? And what on earth do you know? This is such a disaster!! “Why can’t these bastards called generals come up with a solution?”
Martius felt uneasy because if he continued like this, his attempt to make a new start in the Grand Duchy of Austria would be frustrated.
Jaeger’s executioner Max felt that this was an opportunity and spoke with a serious expression.
“This is our fault. “I never thought Lieutenant General Yeager would sharpen his sword this much.”
“Whoa, f*ck. 하긴 자네들이 아무리 잘났어도 그 망할 미친 개새끼 머릿속을 읽을 수는 없었다고 치자고. Are there any other solutions? Oh, the other staff members, please listen to what these guys say, put up with it, and talk to them.”
The staff felt bad for a moment. But after thinking about it, I realized that in the current situation, they would not be able to come up with a proper solution anyway.
I closed my mouth, feeling like I was presenting Lieutenant Benner as a human shield.
No, when I thought about the fact that the lieutenant who had surrendered would directly incur the Archduke’s wrath, I began to think that it was a good thing or even pity him.
“No matter how much Lieutenant General Jaeger trains his soldiers, his soldiers are just soldiers. We have more troops. “Just leave it like this.”
