Bukit Barisan Swordsman
War Formation


Morning arrived brightly, Jaya woke up from her sleep hearing the sound of birds chirping as if singing cheerfully. Still in a sitting position leaning against a tree, for a moment Jaya straightened her hands up to loosen the stiff muscle muscles, Jaya got up and looked around, looking around, However he did not find Langkir's whereabouts in that place. Jaya again moves her body movements so that the muscle muscles in her body are refreshed.


Shortly afterwards, Langir arrived with a bag of water made from the skin of a medium-sized animal, If the size of the bag of water can hold five to ten liters of water. "Have woken up Mr" Sapa Langir told Jaya. "Where are you from?" Tanya Jaya to Langir. "I've been going around mister" Langir answered, gathering wood and twigs to make a fireplace.


Then Langir opened a bundle of cloth, Langir took out two bamboo cups, water cookers, dry bread, honey and several other items. "Where did you get that stuff?" Tanya Jaya to Langir. "From the tent of the Royal Force Maha Api Tuan". Langir confessed. "So you stole it?" Tanya Jaya is back. Langir just smiled at his master's question.


"Have they not been tormenting the people all this time? Have they not been collecting excess taxes from the people? Means there are still people's rights in their property, I just take my rights as a people in their property". Langir argued to Jaya, hearing Langir's words there was no response from Jaya, she only smiled wryly and shook her head but did not scold Langir.


That morning they had a breakfast of dry bread that was often brought by the Soldiers while going to war, Although it felt a little hard, but enough to prop up the stomach in addition to warm honey tea. While having breakfast Langir started telling Jaya, "Master... Before sunrise I had flown around, Some of the Army of the Fire Kingdom camped in the valley and some stayed overnight near the Plain of Amapin, The Swordsmen also spent the night in the valley not far from the Fire Kingdom Army, if at night the light of their bonfires could still be seen, there was no trace or change of the Battle between them. Royal forces of Maha Also spend the night near the Amapin Plain, Even their distance from the Amapin Plain is about as little as rice". Langir told Jaya everything he saw this morning.


After eating bread, while enjoying Langir's honey tea, Jaya again took the stone she had stacked last night. But this time in adding one more stone, after compiling stones representing the position of each team according to Langir's report, Jaya again sipped tea in his hands. "What do you think of the situation and the makeup of this army?" jaya asked Langir.


"I suspect the Fire Kingdom Army will be plotting with the Swordsman Army and the Maha Kingdom, Maybe they will use the Cakrawayu Formation to surround the Wind Kingdom Army". Langir begins his argument. "Cakrawayu Formation?, what was the formation like? And how do you know?" Tanya Jaya to Langir. "I used to be a Warlord in the Sky Kingdom, I once used the Cakrawayu Formation given by my Master to encircle the enemy, This Formation uses a portion of the Troop as Feed to draw the enemy Troop into the Formation, Once the Enemy Force is at its designated point, the other Army will encircle and attack from four sides. And the result is that the enemy can be defeated like a fish entering the net". Langir explained the working system of the Cakrawayu War Formation to Jaya. "What a terrible formation". Said Jaya commenting on the formation spoken by Langir.


"They use the Hunting Wolf Formation, this Formation is a very cunning and very Cruel War Formation that I know of. Where the first army will be sacrificed to pretend to lose, it can be said to kill the Soldier himself. Then the rest of the first Army will pretend to retreat to trick the enemy, the Enemy who feels he has gained victory will pursue the rest of the retreating Army to slaughter the entire Army. Once the enemy is in a new planned place, it is ambushed from all sides. From the Amount and Distance they make, I suspect the real Battle is in the Valley". Langir said based on his experience.


"Why do you understand this Formation so well?" tanya Jaya who saw the expression of emotion on Langir's face. "I've been trapped in a Formation like this, out of the ten thousand troops I've brought, only five hundred people have returned and I've had very severe injuries back then". Langir said with a sad face recalling past events. "Did you win the war?" tanya Jaya wants to know. Langir simply shook his head, "I only managed to save myself, and was once called a Coward for running away from the Battle". Said Langir with his head bowed.


"Have you avenged that defeat?" tanya Jaya is back. Langir shook his head again. "I was already slandered before I could avenge that defeat, I thought the one who planned the Battle and the one who slandered me was the same person". Langir said with full of emotion and a trembling voice. Jaya approached Langir and stroked his back, "Patience... May Nature and the Almighty bless us to avenge your defeat". Jaya said that made Langir shed tears.


Not feeling the sun had started to rise, the Soldiers seemed to have packed their tents, It seemed that the Fire Kingdom Forces near the Amapin Plain were preparing to attack. Many of these were the first battles, and they were also assigned to the front lines. Soon they walked into the Amapin Plain.


On the Amapin Plain looks the Wind Kingdom Army which numbered approximately five thousand people are ready to welcome the arrival of the Fire Kingdom Forces which only amounted to three thousand people. The two armies were already facing each other with the Leader of the Army at the very front. "This is apparently the new Rangkuti student for corn but already pretentious". King Indwi told Alsap. "Ha ha ... I was also ordered by my Master to get rid of a useless King like you". Alsap tried to provoke the Indwi King. "Bedebah... I'll send your head to your teacher Biad*p". Said Raja Indwi in a tinge of emotion.


"Racote... Attack it.." Alsap precedes the attack. Not to be outdone King Indwi also ordered his troops to attack, "Strike...". A fierce battle was immediately fought between the two armies.
