Operation Obong - Bobong Part 4
The sight of reinforcements made Baskara very happy. He patted his barong and headed straight for the camp. While Heru Cokro stopped uniformly, and turned away.
Before he left, Wirama used his internal strength and shouted, “Bokah Baswara. Today I am here to teach you a lesson. Next time I come back, I'll take your head.” Then, he laughed out loud in a very rampant manner.
No one had ever humiliated Baswara like this before. Without a word, he led the troops and chased after them. Although Baskara had just recounted his experience, Baswara did not believe that the robbers could stage another ambush of troops. Even if they could, he had nothing to fear, as he had 4,000 elite soldiers.
The savanna once again became the scene of the escape-chase scene. However, the two sides had exchanged places.
At this time, the superiority of barong strength and speed was evident. In less than 10 minutes, Baswara and his men chased after, having brought their enemy to its firing range.
As Baswara approached the fleeing enemy. His face was flat emotionless and cold, as if he was looking at a group of dead people. But unfortunately, Baswara did not know that he had just led his army straight into a well-established trap.
Wirama took out a special arrow and turned it on. Then, he turned his body over the horse's back and released a fire arrow.
The fire arrows flew across the sky like shooting stars, and accurately fell near Baswara.
In the blink of an eye, the fire arrows lit up the oil that Heru Cokro's army had poured into the meadow earlier. The layout of the raging fire array was not the long path it had been before. Instead, it covered the entire area. The raging flames, with the help of strong winds and weeds, sank Baswara into a sea of flames.
The fierce flames rendered the soldiers helpless, as they cried out for help. The flames burned their bodies. One by one, they fell off his horse and landed on the ground. The sea of fire burned and roasted them into a barbeque.
The grasslands are burning and smoke is billowing. It was capable of strangling anyone within it.
Despite the barong's bravery, they were still panicking after a gust of fire and smoke. They ran around the field like headless flies. With warriors in formation, it was easy for them to attack each other, and became a miserable situation.
As the flame soared, Baswara's face turned pale. He instantly knew that the enemy before their eyes was not a petty robber. A great conspiracy loomed over the skies of the entire Pangkah Tribe.
At this critical moment, he had to shoulder the responsibility. He had to bring his men out of the flames and bring them back to the tribal fortress.
Baswara's mount was a platinum-level barong, so it was like a legendary beast. Barong roared and was the first to jump out of the flames.
The other barongs tracked down the voice of their leader. So they follow behind and come out together. However, the moment Baswara came out of this hellfire, he fell into another despair.
The cunning of his enemy had almost reached a point beyond his imagination.
Outside the flames, two thousand enemy cavalry were preparing. Right now, their faces were no longer as rampant and brash as before. Instead, their faces were serious and emotionless.
Just as they saw him coming out of the fire, they greeted him with a rain of arrows. Intensive arrows ruthlessly harvested the lives of the lucky survivors of the line of fire.
The Baswara warriors thought they would be safe when they came out of the blazing inferno, yet they actually came out of one to step into the other.
These successive attacks destroyed every gram of the morale and courage of the tribal warriors.
The lucky warriors who survived the rain of arrows did not dare to think twice, and immediately fled. Even riding on the barong leader, Baswara did not dare to gather his troops and set up a counterattack. He rode his horse and rushed towards Lake Banyuwangi.
The Javanese cavalry of Dwipa did not pursue the last of the lucky ones. As the saying goes, one should not pursue a defeated enemy and not suppress a desperate beast. To survive, these lucky survivors would do anything. They would unleash unimaginable power when they were in a predicament.
Although Heru Cokro was the winning side, he did not want to chase these desperate fighters and add to his losses. Finally, out of the 5,000 tribe warriors, only less than a thousand people escaped alive.
Heru Cokro did not pay much attention to the arrangement of the burning fire. He led his troops, away from the flames and drove towards Pangkah Wetan camp to harvest their spoils of war.
Currently, the remains of the camp guards had escaped.
Hordes of elite cavalry usually had three horses, two war horses, and one working horse. The purpose of the worker horse was to carry the items, while the cavalry would alternate between the two war horses to increase their mobility.
War horses will get tired and lose weight very easily while carrying weights which means they should be treated well. In general, war horses can cover a distance of 20 kilometers before having to rest. At a time like this, if there were two war horses rotating, they could naturally achieve a sustained fast march.
Since the Java region of Dwipa was not involved in long-distance warfare, the cavalry had only one horse in general. At most, the first Javanese Lembuswana Dwipa had a barong, along with a horse gift class change system as a working horse.
The cavalry of the mixed regiment were originally robbers. Even if they were not equipped with barongs, they also had two horses of their own. While Lembuswana Java Dwipa is the second newly formed and cavalry unit Kebonagung, only has a talented horse system.
Overall, compared to the nomadic tribes, the cavalry of the Dwipa region of Java seemed a bit too shabby.
Strictly speaking, the cavalry needed at least two additional army retainers. One to take his things and another to take over his horse. However, to make the game easier, the system makes cavalry troops do not need additional soldiers. Instead, the cavalry did everything on their own.
The trophy that Heru Cokro looted from the battle was the horses in Pangkah Wetan camp. Sure enough, in the stables stood 5,000 barongs and 5,000 ordinary horses. In addition, they rescued 1,000 barongs from the battlefield. Overall, they confiscated a total of six thousand Barongs, that was a huge fortune.
If calculated according to five gold coins per barong tail, the amount would be 30,000 gold coins. In addition to the workers, they confiscated the equivalent of over 40,000 gold. Most importantly, this barong despite having a price, but there was nothing on the market, and no one would sell such a valuable item.
Furthermore, in the camp's arsenal, Heru Cokro also looted 5,000 composite bows. With this bow, the Javanese military Dwipa will be equipped with a bow.
