The Grassland Alliance Invasion Part 14
In the northern part of the wilderness, the 2nd Regiment launched a long-range attack at their highest speed. While the alliance army attacked Maspion, Wijiono Manto and the prairie alliance focused their attack on Java Dwipa. Under the leadership of Wijiono Manto and Prabowo Sugianto, 20 thousand troops led to the west of Java Dwipa. On the other hand, 30 thousand troops from the prairie alliance attacked from the north and guarded the bridge to prevent reinforcements.
The western region was the core of Java Dwipa, and due to an agreement with the prairie alliance, Division 1 was primarily responsible for defending the western region. As for the northern region, there were only a few reserve force members stationed there. The war in Java Dwipa, thanks to the cooperation of grassland alliances, was not as strong as the war in Maspion. Although the alliance army carried many trebuchets, the Javanese Dwipa were not Maspion, and their city walls were equipped with an enormous arcuballista. Their defense was shocking. Therefore, just relying on 20 thousand alliance troops would not be enough to defend Division 1.
As a mixed division consisting of light cavalry and light infantry, the 1st Division had warriors with sword shields, spears, and archers, which were the best combination to defend the city walls. In the morning, the alliance army suffered heavy casualties but did not achieve any progress. Java Dwipa solidly stands like a rock in the middle of the wilderness.
Wijiono Manto was not a fool, and he had noticed the strange actions of the prairie alliance. In the afternoon, Wijiono Manto looked for Tipukhris to find an explanation. With a bad expression, Wijiono Manto immediately burned the bridge between them. Tipukhris apologized, "I had no choice. I support your decision to strike with all my heart, but the other generals have their own opinions. They grumbled and said that you came late and caused a lot of casualties for them. Therefore, you are responsible for this siege, and we will be responsible for handling Batih Ageng and Kebonagung."
Wijiono Manto frozen. The past few days, he had witnessed and caused many deaths within the prairie alliance army. He never thought that karma would retaliate so quickly. However, with great fortitude, he smiled and said, "I've unintentionally hindered, we've been working hard day and night. I hope you can explain it to them, and I hope we can forget all this and work together. As long as we can defeat Java Dwipa, we will be able to recover all the losses."
"You are right, I will try my best" Tipukhris replied bitterly in his heart. If his house remained safe, he would naturally agree. Unfortunately, Jawa Dwipa is very tough. Even if Wijiono Manto promised a mountain of gold and silver, it would be useless. In other words, if the prairie troops did not suffer much loss and could defeat the Jawa Dwipa quickly, Tipukhris would probably think so. If they managed to capture the city, he could use that to protect his family. Unfortunately, at present Java Dwipa is an enemy that cannot be destroyed in a short time.
Tipukhris looked at Wijiono Manto without expression of emotion. This person may still dream of mastering Java Dwipa. Tipukhris's face was expressionless as she replied emotionally, "Really?"
"Of course!" Wijiono Manto.
In fact, in his heart Wijiono Manto cursed them as a stupid group of barbarians. Only with such a simple promise did they believe him. However, what would they say when Wijiono Manto actually took control of the city and the alliance army gathered?
The two generals looked at each other, they thought that they had won this game. Their smiles felt sincere but were mostly fake. If someone does not know, they will probably think that they are real close friends.
Prabowo Sugianto, who was following behind, felt a tremor on his back as he looked at Wijiono Manto's smile. As the two sides engaged in battle, the City Protection Division located in Batih Ageng secretly left the city and crossed the city's protection river, crossing the city's, turn west past the Batih Ageng river towards the rear of the alliance army. At this point, the Javanese army of Dwipa had completely surrounded the forces of Wijiono Manto. In order to prevent a wary enemy, the prairie alliance troops continued to assist in the siege. They only need to wait for the 2nd Division to defeat Smelter, after which the troops can attack the forces of Wijiono Manto.
The huge net designed by Raden Partajumena was finally ready for use, they just needed to roll the enemy up with it. The attack in the afternoon became more intense and Wijiono Manto was busy dealing with it. To assist the actions of the grassland alliance, Java Dwipa had to send more troops to defend the northern region. Despite that, the siege has still not succeeded.
Wijiono Manto had no reason to doubt Tipukhris, so he could only return to his tent. The battle that day ended without any significant progress.
On February 15, the Battle of Java reached its peak. In the morning, the 2nd Division excitedly rode on their horses and finally made it to Smelter. However, once they arrived at Smelter, Raden Syarifudin did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, as Hadikarya did, she led the 4th regiment to invade the territory where Lotu Wong teleported.
This time, Raden Partajumena is determined to destroy the escape route of the alliance forces and trap them in Gresik. The appearance of this large army was something that Smelter did not expect. The city feels like an abandoned city. Facing the strong 2nd division force, Smelter's forces were subdued and helpless. The 2nd Division easily entered, and the sound of horse treads was heard all over.
If there were no instructions from Raden Partajumena not to kill innocent people before the troops left, Smelter might have become a living hell. These instructions are given to ensure their rules at Smelter are not affected in the future.
After entering the region, Raden Syarifudin led his troops towards the Ruler's Residence. Although there were still some defences left, unfortunately, they became meaningless when facing the attacks of the 2nd Division. In less than half an hour, the Ruler Manor was captured. Wirama, along with some of his generals, entered the meeting hall and attacked ferociously.
The alliance army is currently preparing to launch a second attack on Maspion. Hearing the news, Roberto and Lotu Wong felt uneasy. Roberto no longer calmed down and asked, "Is that the Javanese army of Dwipa?" The panicked Judge replied, "Other than them, who else?" The appearance of the Javanese army of Dwipa made them wonder how it could have happened.
The alliance army held discussions, but they had difficulty finding a solution. The situation had developed more severely than they expected. Without detailed information, even a general like Ditya Yamahgriwa could not do much.
Seeing such a situation, Sambari Hakim lost his patience towards the IKN Alliance and shouted, "I don't care! I will lead my troops back before it's too late!" He had completely lost his patience with the alliance.
Roberto tried to stop the reckless actions of Sambari Hakim. He reminded that the Stone Inscription Region could at most last for an hour, so there was no point rushing back. Although Roberto's suggestion is not wrong, unfortunately, Sambari Hakim has lost his rationality as a king.
"Help you?" Sambari Hakim let out a mockery with a loud tone. "My territory will be taken, so how can I help you? You must defeat Maspion and stop bragging! Without 2-3 days, you will not be able to do it! At first, I should not have listened to you guys and just signed a contract with Jawa Dwipa. I can be rich."
Sambari Hakim had gone mad, and his words were not as polite as before. "Are you shameless?" Jogo Pangestu could no longer hold back. He did not have a good impression of Sambari Hakim.
Sambari Hakim's face turned jet black. He looked at Jogo Pangestu and shouted, "Go to hell!" After which, he directly led his army and left.
Jogo Pangestu was furious and wanted to chase. "Fuck!" Roberto looked at Jogo Pangestu with unhappiness. "Enough! Is that not enough? Aren't you guys embarrassed enough?"
Roberto sees Jogo Pangestu with disappointment. This rash person cannot carry out his duties properly and just makes everything chaotic. At first, Roberto had the opportunity to persuade Sambari Hakim, but Jogo Pangestu made Sambari Hakim even more angry.
Seeing Roberto's anger, Jogo Pangestu trembled and dared not speak. Suddenly, the alliance army went haywire.
As Sambari Hakim left, the leaders of the IKN Alliance looked at each other. Lotu Wong acted as mediator and said, "OK, okay, calm down."
"Yes, what matters now is what we have to do next" said Nadim Makaron, trying to distract them. When those words were spoken, total silence enveloped them.
Indeed, what should they do? Not only did they talk about the possibility of succeeding or not, even if they succeeded, they would suffer a huge loss. Do they still have the power to attack Java Dwipa?
Whoever is wise will realize that this siege has failed before it ends. Depressed emotions spread among the alliance troops. When they reflected on it, at the time of planning this, everything was so excited. They are eager to give Jendra the right medicine and give him a deadly blow.
During the beginning of the war, everything went smoothly as expected. In the forum, everyone mourned for Jawa Dwipa. But when did the situation start to change? Suddenly, no one could give a definitive answer.
After a while, Roberto stood up and said, "Let's back off!" As the breeze blew, complete silence surrounded them.
