Invasion of Robbers Part 2
Since the bow and arrow divisions were established, the bow of the Javanese army of Dwipa was much better than those used by the robbers. Therefore, using the superiority of their range, before the water bandits could react, the Pantura naval fleet had attacked. Then the rain of arrows flew towards the water bandit warship.
The water bandit ship was just an ordinary ship and did not have a high defense. They are mostly exposed and have no shelter. Therefore, after several rounds of arrows, the water bandits were severely damaged.
Hadikarsa was also a brave man. Facing an attack, instead of retreating, he instead advanced and ordered the ship to accelerate in order to close the distance, so as to counterattack.
These water bandits were all ferocious and charged forward towards the Pantura naval fleet.
Joko Tingkir had long lived in the water fortress, and many of the troops in the Pantura naval fleet were prisoners of the water fort. Thus, they naturally had good comprehension towards water bandits.
Facing the attacking water bandits, Joko Tingkir did not panic and ordered his troops to keep shooting. When the distance would reach the firing range of the water bandits, he ordered the ship to go faster.
At present, the superiority of the warship Jung Jawa is visible. Before the water bandits could react, they were already in front of them.
The powerful and violent warship Jung Jawa smashed the water bandit ship to pieces. As they panicked, Joko Tingkir ordered the troops to start a side battle.
The soldiers in the Pantura naval fleet were a changed class of water bandits. After training and fighting, their levels were higher than water bandits. One Jung Jawa warship could carry more than 100 naval soldiers, while one water bandit warship could only carry 60 water bandits.
Therefore, in side warfare, both quantity and quality, the Pantura naval fleet has an advantage.
The width of the Bengawan Solo River is only 35 meters, and you cannot put too many warships on it. Therefore, even though the bandits had an advantage in the number of ships, the number that could go against the Pantura naval fleet at one time was not very high.
In less than half an hour, the Pantura naval fleet had destroyed the 5 water bandit warships closest to the front line. The water bandits behind after seeing that the situation was not good, turned around and ran to save their lives.
Joko Tingkir did not order them to chase and instead ordered them to clean up the 5 battleships that had been destroyed.
Heru Cokro stood at the western village tower and looked towards the northern sky where 3 signal bullets were fired, and heaved a sigh of relief. Under the rules in the Javanese army of Dwipa, 3 bullet signals mean they meet the enemy and smoothly force them away.
The mood of the Presence is not as relaxed as Heru Cokro. The fleeing water bandits did not dare to completely disappear and instead sent people to the beach to report to their main leader.
When he received the news, it was already 10am. At that time, all siege weapons had been installed, even the floating bridge intended as a trick had been done.
At that time, suddenly the news that the water troops had lost and even his brother Hadikarsa had been captured as a prisoner, this made him angry and immediately killed the messenger on the spot.
Initially he wanted to coordinate with the water bandits to divert more of Java Dwipa's defenses, but who would have thought that they had been well prepared and had a proper navy.
There is no point in waiting any longer. He made the decision to launch a full-scale assault on the west gate.
Each side of Java Dwipa is 3 km long, and based on the average of each soldier who takes one meter, in theory there can be a row of 3 thousand people.6 thousand robbers can only form two rows.
The 3000 base robbers were placed in front to be squandered and depleted the defensive resources of Java Dwipa, paving the way for the 2 thousand elite soldiers behind.
As for the 1000 cavalry troops led by Hadikarya, they could not play much in attacking the village, and were sent into the wings to protect the troops.
Facing the robbers who charged forward, the archers on top of the territory wall started shooting. Unfortunately, they only had 2 companies of archers and 2 companies of crossbowmen, so their numbers were too few and their killing ability was too small.
A single round of gunfire can cause at most 200 casualties. After 3 rounds, the robbers had reached the wall and at that moment, the archers among the elite robbers started to retaliate.
To cover the deficit, the robbers installed a movable arrow tower. The elite robbers stood on top of the tower and shot towards the wall. Therefore, archers on both sides shoot each other to get rid of long-range threats from each side.
the 3000 robbers leading the assault were clearly not empty-handed.15 assembled stairs were pushed into the territory wall. Once they could hook into the wall, the robbers hiding under them could quickly climb up the wall.
General Giri who was in charge of the defense, upon learning about the staircase, ordered 800 sword shield warriors to reorganize their defensive territory and organize 50 people on each staircase. The last 50 are reserves that must be prepared to help any defensive region.
Heavy logs and giant stones were thrown down by the soldiers. Each attack would cause many deaths, and this would prevent the robbers from climbing the wall.
At the same time, in the back row of the robbers, 5 catapults were ready and started throwing giant stone balls, and smashed into the wall. So that the robbers who were hit instantly became a pile of meat paste.
Seeing that brutal scene, Maya Estianti couldn't bear it, going to the dugout in the tower to rest.
Seeing the city's protection army in a disadvantageous position, Pana Srikandi's unit began to show their strength. All the arubalistas began to lead to 5 catapults under Sayakabumi's orders. After one round of arrows, the robbers who used catapults were shot down.
In less than half an hour, 5 catapults were fully controlled by the Srikandi Pana unit.
Seeing the Pana Srikandi unit at work, the group looked in awe at Heru Cokro.
Heru Cokro shook his head. “It was a three-bows arubalista, and it was the strongest bed crossbow recorded in the Majapahit Kingdom crossbow and crossbow making manual I got from the auction. Don't look at me like that. Although it was powerful, it was also difficult to make. Since we got the manual, we can only make two.”
Hesty Purwadinata smiled and said, “Jendra, because Redho Village is still far from improving, and since there is still a little time, you should sell two to me."
"Let's talk about this next time." Heru Cokro did not dare to make a promise.
“Jendra, you have to be fair, okay?" Maria Bhakti added.
“Maria Bhakti, you don't have to think about it. Your village has almost been upgraded so there won't be enough time.” Heru Cokro quickly expressed his feelings.
Only Habibi and Genkpocker remained silent. Their territory was still quite far from upgrading and they did not need to worry too much about it.
