The Ancestral Country
Wyuha Karkathakasrenggi
"What should we do sis?", asked a thin-bodied man to a thick-moustached man beside him.
"If you look at the path, it looks like they will pass the little wanua women along the Brantas river, sister.
We should immediately inform our friend at the border" said the man with a thick mustache.
They were sent to investigate the movements of the Jenggala forces.
Slowly, they left the place. Once it felt far enough away, they immediately rushed to jump on their horse hiding place.
The thin coder immediately took a pigeon letter, then tied the letter to the pigeon's feet. After which, he released the bird which immediately flew high towards the west quickly.
The dove continued to fly towards Pakuwon Bedander's palace, then alighted on the dove of the letter on the east side of Pakuwon palace. A guard soldier who saw it immediately caught the bird and took a letter from its feet.
The Watugunung banner was sitting together with the army officers. The guard soldier immediately entered the pisowanan hall Pakuwon Bedander.
"Sorry to disturb Gusti Prince, there is a letter from the telik password that I just received" said the guard soldier while worshiping.
"Bring in here", Panji Watugunung waved his hand.
The guard soldier immediately approached and gave the letter.
The Watugunung banner immediately opened a tear of white cloth that read a few words.
The riverfront. Boat first.
The Watugunung banner understood what the word meant.
"Rajegwesi, please,
Tomorrow morning lead your men south, set up a security post along the Brantas river.
Based on this news, they walked down the riverfront road. Starting tomorrow we do the preparation on the path they pass" said Panji Watugunung who immediately greeted the nod of the head of everyone present.
The day soon changed.
Senopati Narapraja's army is coming. They immediately merged into one at the camp of Panji Watugunung troops on the edge of Sendang Weru.
Rajegwesi and his archer troops have made their own place for them to become long-range attackers as well as scouts for the arrival of the enemy.
Thousands of arrows were prepared. Dozens of barrel castor oil help from Seloageng is neatly arranged and ready to be used.
The location of the rock cliffs in the west of Aksa is also beneficial for the soldiers of Patugunung Panji. East Kali Aksa which is a green meadow will be the perfect battleground.
Jarasanda and Ludaka helped arrange the large stone that would become their weapon. Hundreds of dried coconut trees are prepared in several places.
The Watugunung banner ordered the soldiers to shoulder to shoulder in preparing the equipment.
The Anjuk Soldiers of the Field dug a hole then filled with dried grass and castor oil.
This trap is installed on the right left of the entrance near the Brantas river.
Warigalit who is in charge of leading the cavalry, assisted by Tumenggung Sumkasamba from Kurawan continues to memorize the location of the location of the trap he will pass. As an expert in horse riding, the Kurawan Army is well suited for quick raids.
Tumenggung Wiguna and Tumenggung Bayucandra from Tanggulangin arranged a pile of stone in Kali Aksa to stem the flow of water of the small river, about 1000 spears upstream of the river from the estimated place of battle. With the help of a thousand warriors from Tanggulangin who were clever in building the dam, they quickly completed the task of damming that time.
Wood support is neatly arranged along the dam that cuts the river flow. Almost this time it became a rocky dry river.
That day they really worked hard.
The next day, the Daha Army continued setting dozens of traps on the rock cliffs and small forests on the banks of the Aksa and Brantas Rivers.
Landung and Tumenggung Juru led a team of Karang Anom who was smart to swim, arrange the preparation of boats and hundreds of small canoes in a hidden area on the north side of the Brantas river. Their target was the Jenggala soldiers who used boats.
Marakeh and Rakai Sanga were busy helping the soldiers from Wengker led by Tumenggung Surontanu tie hundreds of dried grass into a grass ball. Then take her to the top of the cliff cliff steep on the west side of Kali Aksa.
Panji Watugunung, Senopati Narapraja, Ki Saketi and the two concubines of Panji Watugunung continued to go around observing the preparations, while at the palaces of Pakuwon Bedander Ayu Galuh and Sekar Mayang and Ratri, respectively, preparing all the food needs of the soldiers who work in the aid of women from around Pakuwon Bedander as well as Gumbreg, Juminten and the soldiers of the supplies Garuda Panjalu troops.
In the North of Siwatantra Ranja, a new Seloageng relief force of 500 soldiers began to prepare weapons and horses to help each task. Their leader is Rakai Kulawu, Akuwu Ganter who is famous for being good at martial arts.
They keep preparing.
The next day, towards the afternoon of Panji Watugunung who was talking with Senopati Narapraja, surprised the arrival of Ludaka who was in charge of observing the situation at the border.
"Sorry Gusti Prince, there's important news.
The Jenggala army has arrived. They camped next to the village near the border which was about 700 spears from Kali Aksa".
Hmmmm
"Gather all our army officers in Pakuwon Bedander's pisowan ward.
Now", the Watugunung Panji orders Ludaka.
The bekel of the reconnaissance soldier immediately saluted to Panji Watugunung and Senopati Narapraja, then retreated from the porch of the resting hall.
"Senopati Narapraja, as the representative of Senopati Ganggadara, are you ready to lead this Daha army?", face Watugunung to Senopati Narapraja. Although their age is equivalent, but in experience, Narapraja is still under the experience of Watugunung Panji.
"Sorry Gusti Prince, it seems Gusti Prince is more worthy to lead the Daha army than he is a servant.
Gusti Prince had at least twice won the battle even though it was not as big this time.
That is enough evidence, if Gusti Prince is more talented than servants" Narapraja said with a smile.
"It is not my intention to seize your position Senopati Narapraja, but in the forest there should be only one lion. If up to two, then what happens is the confusion of the subordinates in following the policy", Panji Watugunung still looks at the face of Senopati Narapraja.
"Hamba understands Gusti Prince, after all our goal is to win this war. Whoever leads, the origin of Daha can win, for that servant is more than enough", Narapraja bowed respectfully.
Panji Watugunung immediately smiled faintly.
Shortly thereafter, all the high-ranking officers of the Daha warriors gathered in Pakuwon Bedander's pisowan ward.
Tomorrow is a determination of our hard work to withstand the attack of Jenggala. Failing or succeeding we resist the onslaught of the Bengal, depending on our capabilities today.
Senopati Narapraja and I have determined the leader of our army. And Senopati Narapraja asked me to take the lead, so all the responsibility of Daha's success to survive Jenggala's plan was on my shoulders", said Panji Watugunung who was greeted by a nod of the head by everyone who was there.
"Seeing their large numbers, it is likely that they will use wyuha (war strategy) ardhachandra or kannaya.
In my opinion, because they number us less, then we use wyuha karkathakasrenggi who rely on speed in the middle army", said Watugunung Panji later.
"What do you mean Dhimas Panji? Try explaining it to us", asked Warigalit curiously.
"This is Kakang Warigalit,
If we use wyuha karkathakasrenggi, then the 2000 horsemen you lead with Tumenggung Ringkasamba from Kurawan will stab forward towards the middle of the army from the two ends of the attack quickly, after making a mess, after making a mess, try to get back as soon as possible. Let them chase inside the trap we set.
2 Supit Urang each consisting of 2000 soldiers will pound them from two different directions. North and South.
We're massacring their army there.
Wait for aba aba, do not attack without waiting for orders.
Archery troops will be divided into two groups.
200 Archers will be led by Rajegwesi targeting Jenggala troops who use boats. They will fight with the help of an army of 500 troops of Karang Anom led by Tumenggung Juru", Panji Watugunung staring at the high officers of Daha soldiers.
"Well what good is the dam upstream of the river that we make Gusti Prince??", asked Tumenggung Bayucandra from Tanggulangin.
Patugunung banner smiled then.
"That's your job Bayucandra's on, though,
as soon as the buffalo horn trumpet goes off 3 times, destroy the dam with 200 Tanggulangin troops. The collected water will sink the ship in the river Brantas and the soldiers who fight in the times of Aksa".
Beaver Bayucandra mangosteen signs understand.
"The remaining 600 archery troops we have will spread out on the rock cliffs along the river. They will shoot when the Jenggala forces reach their firing range.
Do you all understand?", asked Panji Watugunung later.
"We understand Gusti Prince", everyone respects the Watugunung Panji.
That night they rested quietly, because tomorrow they will compete on the battlefield.

In the village of Padang Jenggala border, Senopati Socawarma is sitting cross-legged facing Tumenggung Larantapa, Tumenggung Wangkas, Tumenggung Gandara, Demung Sila, and 2 twin Demungs, Kerpa and Kerpi.
In the large tent, they devised a plan after hearing the password report they had just received.
"Airport,
The Daha army is ready to confront us. According to the news from the telik cipher, they have 7000 soldiers.
What is your suggestion?", Senopati Socawarma gazed into the face of Tumenggung Gandara.
"According to the servant, we should use the wyuha kannaya Gusti Senopati.
Our army is bigger. We can easily******** them", said Tumenggung Gandara confidently.
"True Kakang Gandara, our troops are trained Jenggala troops.
Tomorrow we must destroy them all" said Tumenggung Wangkas later.
Tumenggung Larantapa just silent without talking. Something was troubling his mind.
Senopati Socawarma stood up. With complete confidence, he said.
"Tomorrow us ***** Daha team"
