221 – Osby Plain Grand Slalom (6)
Lieutenant General Peter Jaeger’s instructions were instantly spread throughout the Reich Imperial Army, and the soldiers who were leisurely waiting in the rear were instantly put on alert.
“Knights will come from the right wing! Red knights will come from the right wing! Move according to plan!”
Numerous imperial messengers were riding horses and announcing the operation in loud voices, and officers below battalion commanders hurriedly ordered the stakes loaded on the wagons to be taken out and installed.
In theory, there is only one per person, so it may not take much effort to install, but the ground in the Osby Plain in the Kingdom of Stockholm was half frozen.
Thanks to this, it took more strength than expected to drive the stake taken out of the cart into the ground.
“It’s like this rotten piece of frozen ground! Why doesn’t it get stuck even when I hit a wooden stake with a hammer!?”
“Company Commander, calm down. If you try to hammer it with all your might, it won’t work. First, you need to calm down and f*ck me slowly.”
“Hold it firmly next to it, and be careful not to hit your allies when hammering. If you hit it wrong, even if it wasn’t intentional, you will be whipped! Hurry!”
Even under such circumstances, the soldiers of the Reich Empire succeeded in perfectly installing stakes to protect their front.
The battalion commanders of each infantry unit were inwardly astonished at the fact that they had built a simple fort that was effective in stopping knights by driving stakes in the field.
This is because, at the Staff College or Academy, they themselves learned enough in theory to build and utilize this type of field fortress from the time they arrived on the battlefield until just before the battle.
This is because, like Lieutenant General Jaeger, there was no experience in building a fenced fortress with such quick and anti-cavalry capabilities during a battle.
“Get into formation! Prepare your formation thoroughly! “All pikemen should stand in front of the stake and form a large cavalry square!”
From noble mtl dot com
“The enemy will not be able to break through the stakes we have installed! You will see with your own eyes, the enemy’s war horses being killed with their necks pierced by stakes.”
“Do not be afraid to die! The time has come to show the pride of the Imperial Army to the Stockholm Kingdom Army!”
The officers who encouraged the soldiers in this way were actually afraid of death, but not a single one of them deserted their posts or thought about escaping.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Gdansk, who commanded 20,000 knights of the combined forces of the Kingdom of Stockholm and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, could not contain his astonishment.
Because before his eyes, a completely different scene unfolded before his eyes than what the light cavalry said about the reconnaissance visit just an hour ago.
According to the report I just heard, the enemy’s rear was empty and in good condition for the knights to attack.
Now, sufficient anti-cavalry weapons were installed from the right wing of the enemy army to the rear to block the knights’ assault.
‘More than 5 scouts were sent, and since all 5 gave the same testimony, the scouts did not lie. ‘Then what happened?’
“Lieutenant General Gdansk, what do you plan to do? “The situation is very different from the instructions given by His Excellency, so shouldn’t we go back and get new instructions?”
“Things have changed a lot, but our army has 20,000 knights. “You will have to be prepared to make some sacrifices and break through the enemy lines.”
“I understand. Then I will take the lead.”
Even though he said that, Lieutenant General Gdansk couldn’t stop feeling uneasy inside.
Because I had heard that the Reich Imperial Army, or more precisely, the soldiers of the 7th Guards Division under the command of Lieutenant General Peter Jaeger, stopped the charge of the Austrian knights with only long spears.
I was worried that Lieutenant General Peter Yeager would do the same bizarre and shocking thing this time.
“Brave knights of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw and the Kingdom of Stockholm, follow me, Axen von Borsen! “I will be at the forefront!”
At the same time, Lieutenant General Gdansk shook off his idle thoughts and directly participated in the assault, holding his lance.
“Enemy knights are coming towards the battalion! “No matter how many stakes we put in, I don’t think we can stop it with this number of people.”
“Call additional reinforcements! “We have to pack very tightly to stop their charge!”
“Yes, battalion commander!”
When the battalion commander sent a signal requesting support, surrounding infantry units rushed to the requested location and completely strengthened the defense.
At the same time, thousands of arrows and magic flew towards the enemy knights, and knights of the Grand Duchy of Stockholm and Warsaw died countless times from long-distance attacks.
“Destroy the evil invaders! Don’t be afraid of death! Charge!”
“Judge the demons of the Reich Empire with the lance of justice!”
“I will kill you directly with a lance instead of a cross!”
Shouting like this, the knights spurred their horses and gradually increased their speed, while the soldiers of the Reich Empire hid behind the stakes and pointed their polearms at them.
The closer it got – 100 meters, 70 meters, 50 meters – the more nervous the knights of the Reich Empire and their enemy, the Kingdom of Stockholm, became.
“Hee hee hee”
“Ugh, sh*t! You bastards! Die!!”
“Oh mom!!”
20,000 Knights belonging to the allied forces of the kingdom and the Grand Duchy clashed with the infantry of the Reich Empire.
As a result, the war horses died with blood spraying out as their necks and chests were stabbed by stakes driven into the ground and the tips of spears aimed at them, while the knights riding them fell and crashed into something, had their necks broken, or were trampled by rampaging horses. Died in battle
On the other hand, the infantrymen of the Reich Empire who responded to the knights’ attacks died from fractures after being blown away by heavy horses, or died from being attacked by lances that pierced parts of the body that were not wearing armor.
Both infantry and knights suffered enormous damage and groaned in pain and suffering.
“f*ck, I blocked it… But I think I’m going to fall behind…”
“I can’t feel anything down here. Am I going to die like this?”
“……Save me.”
Whether or not a disaster occurred on the battlefield, the surviving Reich soldiers and officers immediately moved on to the next action.
“Mobilize all nearby soldiers! “If you don’t have enough money, bring the hammer you used to drive piles!”
“The hammer is coming! “Stockholm bastards, I’ll break your pot!”
“Now that they have lost their senses, this is the perfect opportunity, attack with all your troops.”
With those words, the Reich Empire’s soldiers attacked the unconscious knights from the front, and on the flanks, the Reich Empire’s archers and knights each attacked with all their might.
“Kill the Stockholm Kingdom Army, which is no bigger than a dog! Kill him!”
“The cowardly Warsaw Knights who declared war after our departure cannot be left alive!”
“Where is the evil Ishtaven bastard? “Where is that son of a b*tch?”
As a result, the 20,000 knights of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw and the Kingdom of Stockholm were slowly melting away.
As soon as Lieutenant General Yeager heard the report, he stood up from his chair at headquarters and shouted.
“Inject all remaining single-armed soldiers and two-handed sword soldiers at the front, where the Stockholm Kingdom army is engaged in close combat. We deploy all reserve units and try to win the game in a short period of time. “Never miss this opportunity.”
The order immediately spread to the infantry units fighting on the front lines of the Reich Imperial Army.
The soldiers at the front line, blocking the enemy with long spears, shouted three cheers for independence.
“Okay, f*ck! Now push forward and get out!”
“Let’s destroy every single one of their pots!”
With those shouts, the two-handed sword soldiers that the Reich Empire was proud of appeared in an instant and cut off or cut off the polearms held by the infantrymen of Stockholm and Warsaw.
The Pyeongon soldiers entered the gap and freely swung the Pyeongon up, down, left, and right to harvest the lives of the enemy soldiers.
“Die, you evil Grand Duchy of Warsaw! “You guys declared war that way, so I thought you were going to die making stakes!”
“You bastards who will be happy only if you die, you know the pain of working with the Commander-in-Chief!”
“You will live comfortably and then die! “You dirty bastards!”
No matter what the Reich Imperial Army said, it seemed like it was painful to die from a cut or a broken wound, even though the dying people would not understand what they were saying.
The soldiers of the empire slaughtered them with great resentment.
In this situation, the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Stockholm should have sent out the reserves again, but he could not.
This is because troops equivalent to four divisions of archers, knights, and infantry, who are believed to have been in ambush in the forest behind his main unit, appeared to attack the rear, which was currently the weakest in defense.
Of course, the officers of the Kingdom Army and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw Army were not idiots and gave orders to stop the enemy.
“Reorganize your troops! “Get ready again!”
“Form a square of long spears and block them! “We must stop it at all costs!”
“They are a small minority. Don’t be embarrassed by a small minority’s surprise attack!”
