During the month of July, mosquitoes in the savanna are numerous and large, making it difficult to survive. Thanks to the dedication of the soldiers, although they complained, they did not neglect their duties.
Not far from there, the cavalry descended and held the reins in their hands. Like ghosts, they slowly moved towards the patrol camp.
After they entered the effective distance, they crouched on the ground and hid their whereabouts, as well as secretly shooting dead patrols one by one.
The vanguard were all elite soldiers who were experts in shooting. As for close combat, it was almost impossible to do in the grasslands.
Heru Cokro's men slowly stopped the patrol.
Slowly and surely, they reached a distance of five kilometers from the camp. As it got closer to the camp, the alert level was raised. Any sign or sound of battle can immediately alert the camp. Therefore, the Javanese cavalry of Dwipa stopped moving forward.
Heru Cokro rode his horse and stared at the distant camp. Since it was a settlement camp, it was unlike the Setro Tribe. It was just a siege of the tent that formed a defensive circle.
The camp had high wooden walls erected above the ground surrounding the camp and arrow towers standing at all four corners. There is only a main gate open in the south.
It was impossible to destroy such a camp with just 2,000 cavalry, so their only option was field combat. However, field battles were precisely the best battle mode of the nomadic warriors. According to an investigation by the Military Intelligence Division, the camp had 5,000 horsemen. Among them, they had 1,000 heavy cavalry, and the remaining 4,000 were light cavalry.
Horsemen often lead light cavalry shipments to lure enemies. Then, they rounded the enemy's two wings to encircle. At this critical moment, the heavy cavalry would charge forward and clear their enemies in one deadly blow to determine the outcome of the war.
Java Cavalry Dwipa down. They began to organize and prepare the fire. This is Wirama's tactic. They would lure the enemy out of their camp and use fire arrays to stop the enemy.
When they finished arranging the fire arrays, they were all evacuated.
*******
July 28th, 6am.
The first unit of Lembuswana Java Dwipa is tasked with luring enemy troops. Under Wirama's leadership, they drive towards the camp. Along the way, they shot down the patrol indiscriminately.
All night, Baswara did not sleep well. Therefore, he woke up early. Before he could do anything else, a soldier came rushing in and said, “Reporting to the commander, a group of robbers have appeared south of the camp. They have about five hundred people, and they come to the camp.”
This report surprised Baswara because it is so unbelievable, “You are talking about robbers? Only five hundred people, who gave them the courage to attack our camp?”
The soldier replied, "Yes, commander, five hundred robbers."
"Let's go!" Baswara decided to personally check the situation.
Baswara climbed up the arrow tower. When he looked ahead, he only saw distant troops dressed in robbers clothes carelessly cleaning up the soldiers stationed in the outer area. At the same time, they also continued to whistle. Their attitude was wild and sick.
Facing such naked provocation, Baswara could not tolerate it. He ordered a light cavalry captain to lead his army and teach the robbers a lesson.
Captain Baskara happily accepted the order.
A thousand cavalry rushed out of the camp like arrows.
Who knew that the robber was a bunch of useless soft eggs. When they saw the cavalry, they panicked and turned around and fled like a flock of sheep.
Relying on the superiority of the barong, Baskara did not give up. He led his soldiers and continued to chase the robbers.
In the camp's arrow tower, the soldiers who disappeared gradually confused the strategist, Basasu. He turned around and said to Baswara, “Commander, the situation seems a bit wrong. This strange robber appeared out of nowhere and fled so suddenly. Will there be some trickery going on?”
Baswara nodded, “Indeed, there is something unusual! Order the rest of the troops to stand by. With Baskara's ability, even if the robber was really cheating, he could still retreat safely.”
"Understood!"
On the other hand, Baskara led his army and chased the robbers over 10 kilometers. Suddenly, more robbers emerged from both sides that immediately surrounded Baskara and his men.
"Janc*ok, this is a trap!" Baskara was finally alerted, and she knew that she had fallen into an enemy trap.
Unfortunately, his troops were pressing forward too hard at the moment, and they could not immediately stop the inertia. The robbers from the side pierced his army like sharp knives.
In the presence of the wandering warriors, Heru Cokro did not foolishly choose to fight with the art of archer riding. Instead, he engaged the soldiers in close combat and made use of the Luwuk Majapahit Sword and Krewaja armor, while fighting them.
The horsemen soldiers were almost helpless, as they were only wearing simple leather clothes. In front of the Luwuk Majapahit Sword, this was fatal.
The sharp blade of the Luwuk Majapahit Sword could not only easily slice through the enemy's skin protectors and directly pierce through their flesh. But it also leaves poison. Their fate has also been determined.
The battle has begun.
Eventually, Baskara and his army began to gather and stabilize. They were ready for a tough round of fighting. Right at this moment, Wirama and Lembuswana Java Dwipa had first turned around and besieged Baskara.
Baskara had realized that they were powerless, so he decisively ordered the troops to retreat. However, Heru Cokro did not give him a chance to leave. 2,000 cavalry in the Java region of Dwipa chasing Baskara. Blood stained the savanna, and the sad neighing of horses and barongs echoed in the sky.
After nearly an hour of maniacal slaughter, less than two hundred Baskara soldiers survived. They herded Baskara in the middle, and they hurriedly escaped the siege. Then, they headed to Pangkah Wetan camp. The Javanese cavalry of Dwipa pursued and relentlessly pursued them. Due to the limitations of their horses, the distance between the two sides grew even further. Baskara managed to escape.
However, little did he know. His success was only because Heru Cokro intended to let him escape. By doing so, Heu cokro could actually provoke Baswara and cause him to lead the soldiers out of the camp.
Heru Cokro chased after the fleeing party. Shortly after, they arrived in front of the camp.
Sure enough, Baswara could not help but get angry as he watched his soldiers panic and escape, while the robbers chased after them. He snapped and said, "Dare!"
As he finished his words, he dashed down the tower and rode on the barong leader. Then, he shouted, “Everyone is with me. Save Baskara and exterminate the robbers.”
"Kill!" Four thousand horsemen came out of the camp.
