Sieges



The lascars are looking for a good position, they hide first. As usual, if you are doing an interception. We do not immediately attack. Because the risk of failure is great. Also the casualties on his own side will be more. However, their escorts were clearly equipped with weapons. Whether it's modern or just a machete. But they are clearly prepared to face this risk. That is the purpose for which they pursue.


The Menoreh Mountains to the west of Progo protect us. Hilly and many rocks. Very comfortable to hide. In addition, the shrubbery is also able to cover themselves from the view of the opponent.


We also memorize the layout of the area more than the enemy because it is longer to explore it, so if you block it will be more able to know the existence of the opponent.


Surely the Kumpeni were in sight, mostly armed with long barrel rifles and long swords, while the Keraton people only carried rifles and keris on his waist. War with a short warangka. There apparently were Lieutenant Andreas Viktor and Lieutenant Hermanus but besides that there was also a sniffer dog this made the female irregulars horrified. These two were the ones leading the chase on us.


They don't carry horses. Also cannons. Apparently left in the village post or in Magelang resident office. It seems that because of the difficult terrain and the possibility of carrying it that bothered, so not brought the terrible tool. If we are taken obviously we will be bothered. One mortar alone could overturn us all.


If it forces carrying, it will be difficult on its own because of the heavy terrain. Pushing it was difficult, the cannon was usually placed on a two-wheeled cart that was either driven by a car or simply pushed from behind. Also they probably thought our numbers were not much because they were considered to have been scattered especially after the recent defeat.


Especially in the vast territory of the Sultanate of Jogja. Starting from Prambanan to Banyumas all scattered Diponegoro Warriors. The vast area was making them difficult. And it costs a lot to cover all the movements of the guerrillas. They must establish guard posts that are almost in each settlement. So that the residents there was no one to help and writh the guerrillas they could observe. This activity must also provide food and additional personnel which of course must be paid. That's what makes the country's finances more sucked in the biggest war they face as long as they are on this Mataram earth.


They are getting close to our position. That's why we are ready to attack. Keep preparing. Left foot in front. With a spear in the right hand and a sharp eye direction directly towards the enemy's body. The arrows had also been stretched from the bow. Waiting for aba-aba.


Distance is getting closer. Our arrow throw would have hit it. But Good Sodewo was still silent. As usual. He waited for the best moment in this joint attack. He was still waiting for all the targets to be at firing range. It's for a variety of reasons. Our heritage is mostly simple.


The most powerful rifles, only a few. It was also obtained from the spoils. Although the gunpowder is homemade. Which now makes it a place already controlled by the enemy. So what we are holding is now made stealthily in the forest the rest only carries classic weapons such as the sword keris spear arrow. Which would be difficult if they fought their sophisticated weapons such as rifles or cannons.


All who are ready to act immediately. The arrows slid with their speed. The gun exploded, releasing its ammunition. The javelins also glide at high speed.


The enemy forces were surprised. Panicked. Not ready and they scream next. All those who were willing to make arrests and landings were actually exposed to the sap. He was clearly unaware of the attack this time. Many were hit by the arrows and spears that we threw. Someone was immediately killed. Two soldiers and one courtier were killed. Dozens of people were injured.


“Verdomseh! Shit, how do they know we're gonna be here. Wipe this way.” Major Andreas Viktor. Moreover, seeing his army in chaos. Someone's dead.


Whimpering, screaming, while holding his chest that was stuck in an arrow.


“That extremists need to be kicked!” he said he was angry and clucking. In a language we do not know.


Seeing our ragged enemies flashing out to do the siege. This makes the enemy increasingly shrinking his guts, they call his mother in Macstratt.


We kept him locked up so they couldn't run for a while. This time we do not fight for property only need victory to increase confidence.


Si Meneer said, “verdom seh koe inlander can only eat sweet potatoes and fart, already it has a name dare to block?” andreas Viktor was angry.
