Shadow of the Front Guard: The Dark Battle on King's Gili Island
The first day of the Battle of Gili Raja Island passed with peace hanging in the air. However, fifty kilometers away, in Djate Village, no one knew that a large army had infiltrated under their noses. When the sun came back up the next day, the troops had rested overnight and were full of energy to deal with the war that was about to begin.
That morning, when they were ready, no time was wasted. They immediately rode on their barongs and rushed towards Djate Village. Delaying it longer will increase the risk of being detected. One of the most difficult aspects of this operation was transporting siege weapons. Although these weapons were extremely powerful, they were not easy to move.
Raden Partajumena took the decision to leave two units of troops to arrange weapons transport, while the core troops continued to advance. The morning air on Gili Raja Island is foggy and humid. The Guards Division made use of the opaque and foggy weather conditions to move quickly under the watchful eye of their scouts.
Raden Partajumena has always used his army in unexpected ways. In his opinion, in order to defeat the enemy without giving them a chance to prepare, he needed to send troops forward to open the village gates. This will avoid prolonged fighting and ensure the success of the siege.
However, if the entire army advanced together, they would create enough rumbling sounds to warn the enemy. Because of this, the vanguard forces should remain in small groups, even just one unit if possible. Although it seemed impossible for a single small unit to damage the gates of the Intermediate Village discreetly.
Raden Partajumena has selected the best men from the Guard Division, elite soldiers specially selected from each division. Each soldier in this unit was considered to be equivalent to five ordinary warriors. Raden Partajumena has complete faith in them.
After Raden Partajumena explained his plan, Wirama immediately stepped forward, "General, I am willing!"
Hearing Wirama's volunteer, Raden Partajumena quickly agreed, "Alright, you will lead the personal Guards unit as the vanguard. Regiment 1 will follow behind. I'll lead the rest."
The personal Guards Unit, a most elite unit within the Guards Division, was an invaluable choice as a vanguard. Wirama, a very talented general, leads this unit. The combination of the two gave Raden Partajumena great confidence.
"Thank you, General!" Wirama bowed respectfully and climbed onto the back of his horse. He led a personal Guards unit, moving faster than the main force.
Behind them, the first regiment was ready for the next action. They had the responsibility of ensuring that after the vanguard unit successfully knocked down the village gate, they could immediately strengthen the position. Without good coordination, all their efforts would be in vain. Under the command of Raden Partajumena, the large army worked like an orderly machine, relying on each other to achieve common goals.
At 9am, a personal escort unit led by Wirama lunged at the village gate ferociously. They come like angels of death, leaving the enemy no time to react. Even the city's protection forces initially thought they were their comrades returning from the patrol.
As the distance between them and the village gate dwindled further, the village guards began to see the flickering Zirah Krewaja gushing. Finally, they realized that the enemy had attacked.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” Shouted a guard, and the peaceful atmosphere in front of the village gate instantly became chaotic. The commoners who had previously queued to enter were now crammed, struggling to enter the village.
“Close gate! Soon, close the gate!” The commander in charge of guarding the gate shouted, a tone of tension permeating his voice.
“Commander, people are already blocking the gate. We can't close it!” Replied a guard in an anxious tone.
“Empress them! If they don't want to go, kill them!” The commander's face turned sharp. Losing the village gate was an unacceptable act. He understood that his mistake could be fatal.
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately obeyed his orders.
"Farmers, prepare!" The commander was still not calm. He ordered the archers who were on the territory wall to get ready.
"Ready, Commander!" As the military orders were delivered, the situation grew more complicated at the village gate.
At first, the village guards tried to explain to the commoners that the enemy was only interested in the gate, and they would not hurt ordinary citizens. They are asking people to stay outside and be safe. However, the residents did not listen and instead tried to force their way into the village.
When the guards saw the terrifying sight, they felt helpless. They only had knives as their weapons.
"Ah, the military is killing civilians!" At this point, the situation had completely turned into chaos. This kind of deterrence has terrified some civilians, and they have begun to flee.
While the guards were preparing to pull the connecting bridge, suddenly a personal Guard unit appeared. A distance of around five hundred meters was no longer an obstacle for them.
"Personal Guards Unit, attack!" Wirama swung his Luwuk Majapahit Sword steadily, leading his army.
"Kill it!" The personal Guards unit did not forgive anyone who stood in its way. They are in a hurry, realizing that time is critical, and they cannot waste time.
“Shoot their arrows! Don't let them get close!” The enemy general was shocked to see the elite troops coming. How can there be such a great army?
Personal Guards unit, which is stronger than all.
Under Wirama's leadership, they remained focused and unwavering. They ignored the arrows pointing towards them and drove towards the village gate with strong determination. No one can stop them.
Finally, just as the gate was about to close, Wirama's forces arrived at the location.
"Kill it!" Wirama commanded, and his sword shone along with the head that was thrown to the ground.
"Kill it!"
In less than five minutes, the hundred gatekeepers of the village had vanished. No one survived this massacre.
The personal Guards unit managed to knock down the village gate.
"Cut the rope!" After successfully knocking down the village gate, Wirama remained as calm as ever.
"Yes, general!"
“We can't let them break the rope. City protection unit, follow me, kill them!” The city protection general also had no conscience. He led the guards down from the wall to face the battle.
"Everyone!"
When he saw the enemy attacking, Wirama did not even glance at them. He just shook his hands firmly, "Destroy them!"
"Yes, general!"
With only five hundred personal Guards fighting against around a thousand city protection guards, the difference in strength was immediately noticeable. Ordinary city guards were unable to defend against their strength.
The city protection forces were suppressed, and their corpses began to pile up around the village gate.
Wirama did not participate in the massacre. He rode his horse and looked towards the horizon, only to see a large army approaching quickly.
Under the bright sunlight, the troops glistened like gold.
The first regiment of the Guards Division has arrived.
The 1st Regiment immediately entered the battlefield. When they saw the village gate had been captured, the regimental colonel ordered his troops to attack.
"Cursue, kill!"
When the city's protection general saw that their reinforcements had arrived, he panicked, "We can't let the enemy succeed, or else this region will be in danger!"
"We'd rather die than retreat!"
The city's remaining protection forces gave their all in an attempt to maintain their position.
"Ckckckl!" Wirama looked at them coldly. He whipped his Barong and arrived before the general. At the same time, Wirama stabbed with his spear.
The general was surprised and raised his sword to hold the spear. In a loud "tang", sparks sprung from the clash of their weapons.
