The Destruction of the Seng Tribe Part 2
The next day, the military ate and marched towards the Seng Tribe.
Looking at the defensive walls of the Seng Tribe before his eyes, Heru Cokro pondered deeply. The 30-meter-wide, 6-meter-high wall, stretches from one end of the valley entrance to the other, its structure made of large stone rocks, giving it a mighty look. Right in the middle of the wall, stood a 4-meter-wide wooden gate, while above the wall was a fortress designed for archers to shoot and take shelter.
Heru Cokro turned around and looked at Raden Said who was standing beside him and asked: "Director Said, what do you think?"
“With such a defense system, we can still drop it with the help of stairs, but the casualties will be very much. I had carefully observed the defensive walls and found something interesting, that the gate they had was not a lift bridge but just a wooden door standing. So I suggest to focus our main attack on the wooden door.” Answer Raden Said.
Heru Cokro nodded in agreement, “You are right, this is all we have, we have very little to sacrifice. However, it was not an easy task to break through those wooden gates. As soon as we show up, they will be alerted immediately and reinforcements will come. Moreover they have geographical advantage, it will be difficult for us to reach the gate.”
Raden Said said with great confidence: “Paduka need not worry too much. According to the Military Intelligence Division report, the Seng used a simple wooden bow like every other tribe. This wooden bow is mainly for hunting purposes with a firing range of less than 120 meters. In comparison, our basic composite bows with light arrows can shoot up to a distance of 200 meters, further out of the range of their arrows. In addition, our crossbow has a longer firing range which is 300 meters.”
“Therefore, as long as we stand 150 meters away from the defensive wall, beyond the range of their 120 meter arc, we can completely suppress the tribe members behind the wall with our crossbow. Then, our shielded infantry can proceed with minimal damage to the wooden gate, and penetrate the gate.”
“Good, this is a good strategy!” Heru Cokro clapped after hearing the well-planned strategy.
The moment they had decided on their strategy plan, the war machine immediately operated at full speed. The first to start was the territory defense unit, they advanced up to 150 meters from the wall. The first line of defense stood a row of companies of experienced shield-sword infantry, their job was to form indestructible shield-like walls and protect their fellow war archers.
The second and third rows were two companies of archers formed by the native tribe, Dudung had chosen the best of the best, with composite bows in their hands, they were almost unstoppable. The last two lines are the Jawa Dwipa arrow company. An arrow is easy to understand by a person, an ordinary person can use an automatic arrow with just three to four days of training, but an automatic arrow can do great damage to anyone who dares to oppose it.
The infantry units were in the western wing of the territory's defense unit, they would play the main role of attacking the wooden gate.The 500 best soldiers of the original tribe, they would be, although not fully equipped with the Luwuk Majapahit Sword and Krewaja armor, they are strong and should not be underestimated. They were led directly by the terrifying, terrifying, and mighty General Giri as well as the 5 skilled captains.
While the eastern wing was taken by the White Wolf Army unit. Initially, Zev Prianka asked to take the lead role of attacking the wooden gate, but Heru Cokro refused his request after some consideration. Heru Cokro was worried, the White Wolf Army unit that had not been through the war and was bathed in blood, was not yet the time to trust them with such a big role.
When the Javanese military Dwipa appeared outside the defensive walls, the tribal guards almost gaped. Fortunately, they were well trained, and immediately sounded the horn of war.
A high-pitched sound that penetrated filled the entire valley, causing waves of commotion. Members of the Seng Tribe came out of their homes in fear, trying to figure out what was going on.
"Chief of the Tribe, a large army appeared outside the defensive wall." The guard panicked.
"army? Which tribe are they including? How many men are there?” Wahil Typhoon's heart skipped a beat, he quickly asked.
“Their flags and banners are not from any tribe. I've never seen them before. I looked around and counted, there were roughly about 1000 people, complete. They look more like military soldiers than tribal hunters.”
“Military army? Nonsense, could it be the military of Java Dwipa?” Wahil Typhoon is reasonable, aware of the identity of the invader. He immediately responded and shouted, "Gather the tribal hunters, I want everyone to be on the defensive wall!"
"Yes!"
The Seng Hunters consisted of 800 people, while 200 were stationed patrolling the walls, and another 600 lived in their warm homes. They all gathered together only while the hunt was going on. Therefore, it takes more than a simple effort to gather everything in such a short amount of time. Wahil Typhoon started gathering hunters while entertaining his tribe members at the same time.
When the crowd reached 400 people, Wahil Typhoon could not wait any longer. He was worried that the defensive wall could not fend off the Javanese military Dwipa. He could not sit, watch, and do nothing. He led the 400 hunters to the defensive wall, leaving his trusted right hand, the Typhoon Akhsan who was waiting for the other hunters.

On the defensive wall, Jawa Dwipa was the first to start. Utilizing their long-range shooting abilities, the territory's defense units fired shot after arrow shot, suppressing the hunters behind the fortress. The hunters of the Seng Tribe were helpless against the barrage of arrows, as they were limited by the shorter firing range of their wooden bows. Their arrows could not even reach the shield sword infantry, and the feeling of helplessness made their hearts sad.
After suppressing the Seng hunters, Heru Cokro orders an infantry unit to move towards the main gate. The herd of soldiers carried a large, strong wood on their shoulders, raised the shield in the air, and rushed towards the defensive wall.
It was only at this time that the tribal hunters realized the intentions of Heru Cokro. Watching the infantry units getting closer to the defensive wall, they had no choice but to endure the rain of arrows and return fire.
Honestly speaking, the hunters were not really able to fend off the attacks. After all, they were the ones with the geographical advantage. As soon as any infantry approached the wall, they would rise up and return fire, fearlessly and fearlessly, rocks and wood rolling and falling from the defensive wall, pushing back the infantry units repeatedly.
Finally, Wahil Typhoon came with his reinforcements. His arrival increased confidence, and quickly the morale of the hunters became stable. They began to form formations and fiercely defend the walls, making full use of their stone and wood with their geographical advantage.
