The Grassland Alliance Invasion Part 6
After he left, Tipukhris disagreed, “Tikus!”
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
As the sun shone on the land of Gresik, the sun could not give anyone a warm feeling.
War is always brutal.
Because of the war, the peasants outside the city could not farm, and the workshops in the city were not open. The commoners were afraid that when they woke up, they would become captives.
"You've heard? Yesterday, the enemy dropped the city's river of protection!”
"The prairie tribe is really strong!"
Amidst the people, the faces of the original men from the Udo Udo Tribe changed and they were overwhelmed by emotions.
They exchanged glances, looking excited but also nervous.
In the tall buildings by the roadside, two Military Intelligence Division spies like hunters stared at their prey.
The calm Java of Dwipa is driven by a hidden current.
In every war, the dark side of society will slowly be revealed.
Discussions between people naturally could not stop the war.
At 10 a.m., the war began once again.
Tipukhris led 12 thousand people and sat in the northern camp of the city to survey the Batih Ageng Region.
The remaining 30 thousand troops were divided into two, surrounding the northern city walls and heading straight for Java Dwipa.
The west was led by Baswara; the east by Abu Bakri.
The two armies were like spikes, embedded directly into Java Dwipa.
Outside the current city, other than buildings, all valuables were moved inside the city.
As Baswara entered the outer city, the sight before him shocked him.
The vast empty land outside the city was filled with arrow towers and barricades in large numbers. This is especially the case on the side of the bridge to Kebonagung and Java Dwipa.
In addition, on the ground scattered a large amount of iron barbed wire.
Be it barricades or barbed wire, everything had been prepared by the Combat Logistics Department long ago. A strong military industry shows its value in combat.
Not only that, on the bridge there were many soldiers. On the bridge to Kebonagung, a cavalryman stood there solemnly, the flag he raised was the 2nd division cavalry.
On the bridge to Java Dwipa, the 1st division 1st regiment sword shield warriors were waiting.
Raden Partajumena's strategy is simple. Before the enemy showed everything they had, the Jawa Dwipa troops would not go all out and would use the land to their advantage.
Even if the war was bad, as long as it was effective, Raden Partajumena did not care.
Baswara felt numb and felt unable to attack.
"General, what should we do?" The deputy officer was also helpless.
Baswara's face turned black and shouted, “What can we do?”
Without removing this obstacle, the cavalry would not be able to continue.
Helpless, the alliance could only send out their brave strength to clear the obstacles.
Clean it all up, it's a bloodbath.
The Javanese archer Dwipa stood on top of the archer tower and was shot down. Alliance soldiers could only fire one or two arrows from their warhorses to vent their frustration.
What was worse was that before the intrepid army cleared the area under the archer tower, the archers retreated and fled.
Baswara was furious and cursed loudly. Where was there such a despicable method of battle?
When Tipukhris received the news, he was furious. Now, he knew what the black-clothed man had said about passing through the obstacles.
The stupid rat had gotten intel but hid it from them.
When the Tipuchris reaction spread to the troops in the east and west. Baswara and Abu Bakri shivered and thought their commander was angry at their speed.
Throughout the morning, the brave troops were transformed and ground.
Just before noon they managed to clear all the obstacles north of Batih Ageng river and Kebonagung river.
In just one morning, the alliance army had lost 4000 men.
Making use of the break in the afternoon, Baswara asked Tipukhris if he should continue clearing the obstacles on the opposite shore or besieging Batih Ageng.
What he got was he had to lower the bridge.
Tipukhris was also helpless, as he himself also wanted to attack Batih Ageng directly. But if they did not knock down the bridge and block the road between the three cities, the moment they attacked, they could be squeezed and besieged.
At 2 p.m., a fierce battle over the bridge officially began.
This was the first real battle between the Javanese army of Dwipa and the army of the prairie alliance. Even at the beginning of the meeting was already very explosive.
One bridge obviously could not accommodate so many people.
On the narrow bridge, both sides gave their all.
In less than half an hour, the bridge was filled with corpses. Fresh blood seeped into the crack of the wooden floor, dyeing the bridge red.
In the more distant part of the battle, to make room, the soldiers had to remove the corpses from the bridge. Bodies thrown into the river floated, which created a terrifying scene.
In addition to fighting for the bridge, the two sides also shot each other using arrow towers.
The screams of murder terrified the commoners and residents of the city center.
Until 4 pm, under a fearless attack from the prairie alliance forces, the Jawa Dwipa troops retreated and both bridges were taken over by the alliance forces.
The war began to lead in a direction that benefited the alliance army.
The truth about war? Everything is still unknown.
The 11th of February
The prairie alliance forces besieged Batih Ageng Region.
After two days of slaughter, the alliance had 37 thousand people left and only the city protection division was defending Batih Ageng. In terms of numbers, the alliance army did not have an absolute advantage.
In addition, Tipukhris prepared 2,000 troops to guard both bridges.
Although the prairie troops were mostly cavalry, this did not mean that they did not know how to besiege.
For this battle, the alliance army had been preparing for a long time.
One of the things they prepared was a siege engine. In addition to a simple siege staircase, the alliance also prepared a secret weapon, the trebuchet.
Trebuchet is provided by the IKN Alliance.
If Heru Cokro could get a technical manual through the robbers, of course, the IKN Alliance could as well.
Equal chances.
The trebuchet was secretly transported to the Pangkah Tribe about half a month ago and kept secret.
Today, the mysterious veil was finally removed.
When 30 strange trebuchets were placed on the north side of Batih Ageng, Dudung's face became bitter.
He had already reported intel to the commanding group, and they had also sent spies to find out what it was.
Unfortunately, the alliance army kept it a secret, and anyone who tried to get close would be mercilessly killed. Thus, no spy could approach him.
At exactly 9am, with the sound of a trebuchet explosion, the siege had begun.
A large number of stones were thrown into the city by the trebuchet, destroying anything that could be destroyed. Be it the archer tower or the house, no one could hide.
Especially the arcuballistas installed in the northern city walls, they were targets of trebuchet.
The Arcuballista was an absolute counter to the cavalry, so why would Tipukhris let them go?
However, in front of the three-arc arcuballistas, a normal trebuchet had no advantage.
