Chapter 28 Horse Bandits Attack

"Everyone, tell me, what is the intention of the eldest master of the Ma family asking us to join together to do such a big deal? Isn't it because I want to use the Southern Sichuan Army to destroy us all, right?" a short and fat middle-aged man said hesitantly.

"Lu Lao Er, what are you saying? Is it necessary to spend so much effort to destroy us if the Ma family wants to destroy us? There are 36 battalions of the Qingma Army, and any battalion can be enough to destroy us." The man called Boss Ma put down the wine bowl in his hand with a bang and said angrily. His surname is Ma, and he was also separated from the Ma family army. He has been taken care of by the Qingma Army over the years, so he cannot hear others say that the Ma family is not.

"Boss Ma, please calm down. Lu Lao Er is this temper. He has no other meaning!" Another young and thriving man quickly persuaded him that he was also the head of a bandit, known as the poisonous wolf. He looked quite generous, but in fact he was full of bad water.

"Yes, Boss Ma, don't be as knowledgeable as Boss Lu." The thin and dark man also persuaded him, his name was Heizi.

"Boss Ma, brother, I've hit you without any restraint. I'll 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 go.

"Hmph! I'm talking to you! They are all dogs biting Lu Dongbin, and they don't know the hearts of good people. The eldest young master knows that our lives are not easy this year, and it may be difficult to survive this winter, so he wants to lead everyone to do a big deal to solve the problem of winter. However, although this means that we consume the Western Sichuan Army, it is better to fight this game instead of starving to death and freezing to death. If it works, then this winter will be better. Think about how many weapons and cattle and sheep there are in the Gasangka military station. As long as it succeeds, we can develop with the flow!" Boss Ma said.

"Boss Ma, it's true that this is true. But can we fight against the soldiers of Gasangka? Although we have a large number of people, we have less than 200 rifles in total. Although Gasangka has few Western Sichuan Army, its weapons are very well-deserved. Not only are there complete rifles, but also heavy machine guns and artillery. If we fight hard, it will be completely hitting stones with eggs!" The poisonous dragon said with some concern.

Heizi and Lu Laoer also looked at Boss Ma. Although they respect Boss Ma, it does not mean that this will allow them to die.

"Don't worry, the eldest young master will not let us die. For this action, the eldest young master personally brought 500 well-trained Qingma Army to participate in the attack. At the same time, the eldest young master also prepared 200 new rifles and distributed them to us as a reward for this action. The eldest young master said that if he did not want to participate in this action, he would never force him!" said Boss Ma.

Poison Dragon, Heizi and Lu Laoer were all silent. Nothing was forced. Even a three-year-old child would not believe such words. Once they refused to participate, they would definitely not be able to gain a foothold in the grassland. Therefore, they had no other way, either attacking the western Sichuan Army Station in Gasangka or being killed by the Qingma Army, and there was no second way to go.

"Boss Ma, since you have already said this, as long as the eldest young master doesn't treat us as cannon fodder, I, Poison Dragon and the two hundred brothers, will all be handed over to the eldest young master for command!" Poison Dragon hesitated for a moment and then said affirmatively.

"I, Heizi and my subordinates, rely on the instructions of the eldest son!" Heizi was not willing to fall behind and said immediately.

"Although my Lu Laoer's team is a little less crowded, I have absolutely nothing to say when it comes to fighting the Western Sichuan Army." Lu Laoer also quickly expressed his opinion.

"Haha! Okay, the eldest young master will be able to arrive tomorrow. At that time, so many of us attacked Gasangka, we will definitely be able to take the one there. Come on, let's have a drink and enjoy it tonight!" Boss Ma laughed.

The horse bandit leaders immediately drank and became lewd and enjoyed themselves in the yurt.

The next day, a group of horse bandits gathered outside Lugousha Village, waiting for the arrival of the young master Ma Qi, who was wearing green horses. Not long after, a rumbling sound of horse hooves came from afar. Then, a large group of cavalry appeared in front of everyone. Although they were not wearing military uniforms, they were obviously well-trained regular soldiers.

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

"See the eldest young master!" After Ma Qi came to the front, the bandits immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Every brothers, please get up. For this action, I will ask you brothers!" Ma Qixu helped him and said loudly.

"Don't worry, our nearly 1,000 people will all follow the command of the eldest son!" Boss Ma said first.

Poison Dragon, Heizi and Lu Laoer also agreed. They had no choice but to follow Ma Qi's orders. Otherwise, the result would be worse.

"Haha, okay, with everyone's help, we will definitely succeed. Come and carry all the greetings!" Ma Qi ordered loudly. Suddenly, the soldiers behind carried twenty boxes in front of the bandits.

"Open!" Ma Qi said.

"Bang!" All twenty boxes were opened, and there were rifles inside, rubbing brightly and with gun oil on it. It was obvious that they were new guns.

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

When a group of horse bandits saw these new guns, they were all worth their eyes. This is the standard equipment of the new army of the Qing Dynasty! It is said that one piece will be sold for twenty taels of silver! With these rifles, their strength will increase a lot! Ma Qi was able to take so many rifles, obviously he was trying his best to do his best. It seems that he attached great importance to the attack on the military station of Jiasangka this time. Looking at the 500 elite soldiers behind Ma Qi, they were all equipped with such rifles. The group of horse bandits immediately gained a lot of confidence.

"Don't worry, young master, we will definitely be able to capture the troops of the Western Sichuan Army!" Boss Ma immediately patted his chest and said.

"Young Master, there are heavy machine guns and artillery at the station of the Western Sichuan Army. The thing is swept away and there is a large area. How can we resist?" Lu Laoer was still a little worried.

"You soft guy, we have so many people, we are still afraid of a ball!" Boss Ma slapped Lu Laoer in the face with a heavy slap.

Lu Lao Er didn't dare to say anything more. Although he was very angry, he didn't dare to show it. Sure, once Boss Ma or Ma Qi noticed, the other party could definitely get rid of him first.

"Don't worry, everyone, we have prepared well this time. Although the Western Sichuan Army has heavy machine guns and artillery, we have a large number of people and cavalry. As long as we attack scattered, the threat is not very big. The Western Sichuan Army's Gasangka Army Station is just a company of troops, and we are several times more powerful than them. We will 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 in Lugousha for a day, Ma Qi took five hundred elite Green Horse Army and one thousand horse bandits and galloped southwards. At the speed of riding, it took only four hours to travel from Lugousha to Gasangka. They could arrive in Gasangka at noon and launch an attack after resting. Ma Qi's goal was to spend the night in Gasangka's military station that night.

In the base of the Third Company, the military station that seemed relatively wide became crowded after dozens of herders and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were placed in. However, the herders were very conscious and did not cause trouble to the soldiers of the Third Company, and even took the initiative to help the soldiers strengthen the fortifications, which made the people of the Third Company feel much better.

However, for safety, Wang Yuze secretly arranged people to monitor these herdsmen, and at the same time, he also strengthened his defenses on important places such as the arsenal.
