Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Everyone, please tell me what the eldest son of the Ma family had in mind when he asked us to come together to make such a big deal? Doesn't he want to use the help of the Southern Sichuan Army to wipe out all of us?"  A short, fat middle-aged man said hesitantly.

    "Lu Laoer, what are you talking about? If the Ma family wants to destroy us, do they need to go to such great lengths? There are thirty-six battalions of the Qingma Army. Any one of them can kill us all."  The man known as Boss Ma put down the wine bowl in his hand with a bang and said angrily.  His surname is Ma, and he is also separated from the Ma family army. He has been taken care of by the Qingma army over the years, so he cannot listen to others saying anything wrong with the Ma family.

    "Boss Ma, please calm down. This is the temper of Mr. Lu. He has no other intentions!" Another young man, about twenty-seven or eighty-year-old, quickly persuaded him. He was also the leader of a group of horse bandits, known as  Poisonous Wolf, who looks like a very generous person, is actually full of bad intentions.

    "That's right, Boss Ma, don't be as familiar as Mr. Lu." The thin, dark man also persuaded him, his name was Heizi.

    "Boss Ma, my brother was talking nonsense and bumped into you. I apologize to you!" Lu Laoer seemed to realize that he had made a mistake and said quickly.  He picked up the wine bowl on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

    "Hmph! I'm talking about you! They are all biting Lu Dongbin, and they don't know the good people's hearts. The eldest young master knows that our lives are not easy this year, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive this winter, so he wants to lead everyone to make a big deal and solve the problem  This is the problem of surviving the winter. However, although there is an intention to let us consume the Western Sichuan Army, but instead of starving to death and freezing to death, it is better to fight this. If it succeeds, then this winter will be easier.  Think about how many weapons, cattle and sheep there are in the military station in Gasanka. As long as we succeed, we can definitely develop along the way!" Boss Ma said.

    "Boss Ma, that's true. But with our people, can we defeat Gasanka's military station? Although we have many people, our combined rifles are less than 200. Gasanka's Sichuan West  Although the army is small, the weapons are very sophisticated, including not only complete rifles, but also heavy machine guns and artillery. If we fight head-on, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg!" Du Long said with some worry.

    Heizi and Lu Laoer also looked at Boss Ma.  Although they respect Boss Ma, it doesn't mean that they can die.

    "Don't worry, the eldest young master will not let us die. For this operation, the eldest young master personally brought 500 well-trained Qingma troops to participate in the attack. At the same time, the eldest young master also prepared two hundred new rifles.  Share it with us as a reward for this operation. The eldest young master said that if you don't want to participate in this operation, he will never force you!" Boss Ma said.

    Dulong, Heizi and Lu Laoer were all silent.  Never force anything, not even a three-year-old child would believe it.  Once they refuse to participate, they will definitely not be able to gain a foothold on the grassland.  Therefore, they had no other choice, either to attack the Western Sichuan Army Station in Gasanka, or to be killed by the Qingma Army. There was no second way to go.

    "Boss Ma, now that we have talked about this, as long as the eldest young master does not use us as cannon fodder, I, Du Long, and my two hundred brothers will all be under the command of the eldest young master!" Du Long hesitated for a moment, and then said with certainty.  .

    "Heizi and his subordinates are all under the orders of the young master!" Heizi was not to be outdone and said immediately.

    "Although my team, Lu Lao Er, has a smaller number of people, when it comes to fighting the Western Sichuan Army, I have nothing to say about it." Lu Lao Er also quickly expressed his position.

    "Haha! Okay, the young master will arrive tomorrow. By then, with so many of us attacking Gasanka, we will definitely be able to capture it. Come on, let's drink and have fun tonight!" Boss Ma laughed.

    A group of horse bandit leaders immediately started drinking and having fun in the yurt.

    The next day, all the horse bandits gathered outside Lugosha Village, waiting for the arrival of Ma Qi, the eldest young master of Qingma.  Not long after, the rumble of horse hooves was heard in the distance.  Then, a large group of cavalry appeared in front of everyone.  Although none of them were wearing military uniforms, they looked like well-trained regular soldiers.

    The leader was a young man in his twenties. He was quite handsome, but his eyes were like those of a tiger or a wolf.  This young man is Ma Qi, the eldest son of Ma Haiyan, the leader of the Qingma Army, and the eldest son of Qingma.  Although he is still young, he has already experienced many battles.

    "See you, young master!" After Ma Qi came in front of him, the bandits immediately knelt down and saluted.

    "Brothers, please get up. I have to leave it to you for this operation!" Ma Qixu gave him a hand and said loudly.

    "Don't worry, young master. We, nearly a thousand people, are all under the command of the young master!" Boss Ma said first.

    Poison Dragon, Heizi and Lu?? Er also echoed incessantly.  They had no choice but to follow Ma Qi's orders.  Otherwise, the results will be worse.

    "Haha, okay, with everyone's help, we will definitely succeed. Come, bring up all the greeting gifts!" Ma Qi ordered loudly.  Immediately, the soldiers behind carried twenty boxes and placed them in front of the horse bandits.

    "Open!" Ma Qi said.

    "Bang!" All twenty boxes were opened, and inside were rifles, polished and shiny, with gun oil still on them. It looked like they were new guns.

    "These are two hundred new M1886 Leber rifles. These are distributed to our Qingma Army by the imperial court. There are only five thousand in total. Now, I will give these guns to all brothers. After this fight  After a battle, these guns will all belong to you!" Ma Qi said loudly.

    When the horse bandits saw these new guns, their eyes were immediately filled with tears.  This is the current standard equipment of the new army of the Qing Dynasty!  It is said that one piece costs twenty taels of silver!  With these rifles, their strength will increase a lot!  Ma Qi was able to produce so many rifles, obviously he was risking his own money.  It seems that the attack on Gassanka's military station is taken very seriously.  Looking at the five hundred elite soldiers behind Ma Qi, they were all equipped with such rifles.  The horse bandits suddenly gained a lot of confidence.

    "Don't worry, young master, we will definitely be able to capture the Western Sichuan Army's military station!" Boss Ma immediately said, patting his chest.

    "Young master, there are heavy machine guns and artillery in the Western Sichuan Army's military depot. Those things can sweep away a large area. How can we resist?" Lu Laoer was still a little worried.

    "You weakling, there are so many of us, why are you afraid of a ball!" Boss Ma slapped Lu Laoer hard on the face.

    Lu Laoer immediately didn't dare to say anything more. Although he was very angry, he didn't dare to show it.  Definitely, once Boss Ma or Ma Qi notices it, the other party will be able to get rid of him first.

    "Don't worry, everyone, we are fully prepared this time. Although the Western Sichuan Army has heavy machine guns and artillery, we have many people and cavalry. As long as we disperse the attack, the threat is not great. The Gasanka Military Station of the Western Sichuan Army is just  We are only a company of troops, and we are several times their strength. We will definitely win this battle!" Ma Qi spared no effort to cheer everyone up.  Although, in his heart, he still regarded these horse bandits as cannon fodder.  But cannon fodder should also play the role of cannon fodder.

    After resting for a day in Lugousha, Ma Qi galloped southward with 500 elite Qingma troops and 1,000 horse bandits.  In terms of horseback riding speed, it only takes four hours from Lugosha to Gasanka.  They could arrive at Gasanka just in time for noon, and after resting they could launch an attack.  Ma Qi's goal was to spend the night in Gasanka's military station that night.

    Gasanka, among the third company's garrison, the military station that originally seemed relatively spacious became overcrowded after dozens of families of herdsmen and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were put in.  However, the herdsmen were very conscious and did not cause trouble to the soldiers of the third company. They even took the initiative to help the soldiers strengthen the fortifications, which made the people of the third company feel a lot better.

    However, for the sake of safety, Wang Yuze secretly arranged for people to monitor these herdsmen. At the same time, he also strengthened the defense of important places such as arsenals.
