Tirta Jayakusuma: Sak Dumuk Cough Sak Nyari Bumi
Hunting The Begals

In every fight, Tirta rarely killed his opponent unless forced or because his opponent was a criminal who did too much evil and really hard to return to the right way!

And indeed the people of Pucakwangi had to take care of these prisoners.

Although they are more concerned with and prioritize the soldiers of Kademangan Pucakwangi.

However, they also did not have the heart to kill the wounded prisoners.

"That's our business! Than you who have sacrificed soldiers for your pride!" Reply Lowo Gemblung who is good at saying words and turning words.

The answers Bayu gave next had made Lokajaya very angry.

His face was as red as a boiled crab.

"Hmm, heh Bloody! If there's a chance I'd like to cut your neck off!" Lokajaya..

"Ihhhh takuut mister ...! The mighty young lord of Lokajaya!"

"Don't do that sir! I'm so scared!" Said the Gemblung.

Not that fear is true, but the words of Lowo Gemblung are an expression of ridicule so that it has made Lokajaya even more angry.

"It's already! We are a unit of soldiers not you!" Pandan Arum said trying to ease the hotter atmosphere between these two young men.

"Hmm watch out for you Bloated!" Lokajaya exclaimed, who apparently did not accept the expressions conveyed by Bayu.

Meanwhile, the cavalry led by Ki Tumenggung Sawunggaling has now reached an uphill road where on the left right of this road are large stones.

And a soldier who was throwing garbage has returned to face Ki Tumenggung Sawungginging.

"It seems that the people we are chasing are at the top of the hill Ki Tumenggung!"

"And it seems that they also realized and knew that they were being pursued by us, because of their position on the hill" one soldier reported.

"If we pass through the gap that is in front of us it will be very dangerous for our troops Ki Tumenggung!" Report this soldier bopuk or pioneer.

What one soldier says is true.

The Begal Alas Kumpahan seems to have realized that they are being pursued by a group of horsemen.

Some who saw the cavalry under the hill were chasing them and they had reported to the Butcher of Alas Kumpang and two leaders of the Mataram army who were also the sister of the butcher is Tohsidono and Tohpati.

"The horsemen who fought yesterday with us have chased up to here Kang Butcher" reported one begal.

Hearing this report, The Butcher Alas Kumpangan immediately said to Tohsidono and Tohpati.

"What are our plans to face the cavalry of Pati's Duchy Kang Tohpati, kang Tohsidono?" The butcher said Alas Kambangan asked for consideration to two brothers like this.

Tohsidono then replied.

"Look at that!" Tohsidono said while pointing downwards, towards the slope of this Gamping hill.

Tohsidono turned out to have pointed a narrow road where the road is the only way to cross the Kendeng mountains.

The road that divides the Kendeng mountains connects the southern and northern regions.

The southern part of the Kendeng mountains there are Grobogan, Kumpang, Todanan, Wirosari and so on.

While the northern part consists of Pucakwangi, Sukolilo, Sumber, Kalinanas and Pati Duchy in general.

"That narrow path we shall make the best use of." Tohsidono.

Yes, with this plan Tohsidono was very confident of being able to destroy the cavalry of the Pati Duchy that continued to hunt them.

Meanwhile Ki Tumenggung Sawunggaling turned out to be quite careful and careful.

A glimpse of the streets on the slopes of the hill Gamping , Ki Tumenggung soon realized that the narrow gap in the road on the slopes of the Kendeng mountains connecting these two regions would be very dangerous if the opponent had prepared a trap in the place.

"All stop!" Ki Tumenggung shouted while raising his hand as a sign to his horsemen to stop their movement.

Simultaneously the cavalry from the Duchy of Pati had stopped under the hill Gamping.

This hill is not a high and steep hill but in its position the begals can still do more than what the soldiers of the Duchy of Pati can do.

"We can't wait for them until they escape we have to do something" Ki Tumenggung said.

"Jagadenta, call your soldiers in the back, set up a plan of attack by using another path."

"Use another way to attack them from the other side and that's when the cavalry will attack them from this place."

"To avoid their suspicions, we must act as if we will attack them so that their attention remains on us!" Ki Tumenggung said to some of the leaders of his warrior group.

After arranging the plans carefully then Ki Jagadenta was ordered to immediately contact his soldiers who were about five hundred spears behind and were moving towards this place.

Moments later Ki Rangga Jagadenta has managed to find a selected team from Kademangan Pucak Wangi.

"What's Ki Rangga?" Tanya ki Sarno and Ki Suro simultaneously.

"You stop first!_ Said Ki Rangga Jagadenta.

Call Lowo Ijo and his two friends and Loka Jaya and also white Bango said Ki Rangga Jagadenta.

After all the squad leaders gathered, Ki Rangga Jagadenta also immediately explained the plan that was to be carried out by ki Tumenggung Sawunggining.

They all seemed to listen to the plans of Ki Tumenggung through Ki Rangga Jagadenta carefully.

"You will be divided into the first two groups I will lead myself while the second group will be led by Ki Sarno and Ki Suro._

"Each of them consists of twenty-five soldiers of the Kademangan guard." Ki Rangga Jagadenta.

"We're moving fast!"  ki Rangga Jagadenta.

And they quickly divided themselves and moved up to the top of this Gamping hill.

They are the young men who often roam in the hills of Gamping hill or hill so without difficulty They have managed to reach the top of the hill and then walk straight east along the top of the hill these.

Meanwhile the second squad led by Ki Sarno and ki Suro had slightly descended to the south and then walked quickly on the south slope also heading east.

They intended to surround these begals from three directions.

Most of Gamping mountain or Kendeng hills is a teak forest that is quite dense and only in certain parts that rarely there are dense trees that are often used as a road people who cross this hill.

There are still many wild animals in the mountains.

And the most feared of the residents who often travel through the forest is the emergence of tigers .

But most tigers always avoid their encounters with humans.

However, if this happens, people are often able to kill tigers with their spears and machetes, because they have prepared these weapons to kill tigers or other wild animals.
