On the other side of the gate, Ma Zhenbang received the news that Luo Laowai had found the tomb of the Yuan people and obtained countless weapons. He hurriedly marched into Lao Xiong with 10,000 Yunnan troops, dozens of machine guns, and ten mortars.
ridge.
Originally, Ma Zhenbang planned to cooperate with Adjutant Yang inside and outside, set up an ambush in Yizhuang, annihilate Luo Laowai in one fell swoop, and obtain the Yuan people's treasure.
Unexpectedly, Adjutant Yang died in Pingshan because he failed to live up to his expectations.
Moreover, according to the news sent back by his subordinates, among Luo Laowai's group, there is also a Taoist named "Wang Ye" who is good at magic.
Regarding this, Ma Zhenbang felt a little nervous, feeling that things were beyond his expectations.
But now the arrow is on the string and it has to be fired.
What's more, Luo Laowai and Xiling have only two thousand men and no heavy weapons. This is a golden opportunity to eliminate Luo Laowai.
As for the king.
In Ma Zhenbang's view, he is just a juggler and a juggler.
What kind of magic is this? It's bullshit. It's okay to fool those ignorant people. He, Ma Zhenbang, has traveled all over the country and has never seen any big scenes, so he doesn't believe it at all.
It's hard for a god to hide away. He has ten thousand troops, guns and cannons under his command, so he's afraid of a ball!
The plan to cooperate inside and outside failed. Ma Zhenbang was afraid that Luo Laowai would retreat from other places, so he had no choice but to change his plan and planned to take the initiative and block Luo Laowai at the ground gate.
Ma Zhenbang was very happy when he thought that he would have countless treasures in his pocket.
If he hadn't been worried about attracting Luo Laowai's attention in advance and putting him on guard, Ma Zhenbang would have wanted to play a little tune.
But he didn't know that a few miles behind him, there were also 20,000 troops, 10,000 Xiling warriors, and 10,000 Luo Lao Wai's army, also fully armed, waiting for the sound of arrows to give the order.
Seeing the underground gate ahead, Ma Zhenbang said with a smile: "This is really a good place for an ambush. Let's wait here for Luo Laowai. When we see people coming out later, give me a good beating."
But he didn't know that he and Luo Laowai wanted to go together.
Both sides set up an ambush at the gate of the earth.
One is above the ground door, and the other is below, waiting for the opponent to appear and attack them head on.
After waiting for a while, no one came out. Luo Laowai was a little confused: "Master Wang, why haven't Ma Zhenbang's people come here yet?"
The king also heard the argument and knew that Ma Zhenbang was at the gate, so he said: "They are on the other side of the cave. They probably want to ambush us on the other side."
"Ma Zhenbang is so shady!"
Luo Laowai cursed, not wanting to think that he and Ma Zhenbang were evenly matched.
After scolding, Luo Laowai looked at Chen Yulou: "Brother, our people should have blocked their escape, right?"
Chen Yulou nodded: "Calculate the time, it's almost time."
"Then let's wait."
To be on the safe side, Luo Laowai planned to wait.
The two old sinners are waiting, but the current situation, the longer it is delayed, the better it will be for Luo Laowai.
The armies of both sides set up an ambush. On Luo Laowai's side, several people who had secretly taken refuge with Ma Zhenbang were extremely anxious.
They wanted to tip off the news, but the people around them were keeping a close eye on him. Luo Laowai had already told him that he had to hold back his feces and urine, and don't move around even if it was in his pants.
Anyone who dares to make any unusual move will be punished on the spot.
These people took refuge in Ma Zhenbang simply because they wanted a better life. They were more afraid of death than ordinary people, so they naturally did not dare to act rashly and could only pray in their hearts that they would not be liquidated afterwards.
the other side.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no movement, Ma Zhenbang was a little confused and said to his men: "Who is that? You guys go over and take a look at the situation."
"yes."
The soldiers summoned by Ma Zhenbang bravely walked into Dimen Cave to explore the way.
Chen Yulou, who was lying in ambush at the top of the mountain, saw a few people and frowned: "There are just a few people, they look like they are exploring the road."
"Our people should be here, don't wait any longer, let's knock on the mountain and shake the tiger first."
"Miss Hong, they've been left to you."
Hearing this, Miss Hong nodded, took out a throwing knife and hid in the forest, waiting for a few soldiers exploring the path to approach, then fired the throwing knife, hitting four people accurately.
However, one person was lucky enough to avoid the vital point and fired a warning shot.
"Mom, choke me."
Luo Laowai shot the man to death.
Chen Yulou turned to Huama and said, "Send the signal."
Huamaguai nodded, took out a special arrow, ignited it, and shot it into the sky.
"Hey~"
"boom!"
The sound of arrows and gunshots echoed in the empty valley.
Ma Zhenbang, as well as the Xiling warriors and Luo Laowai behind Ma Zhenbang, all saw the signal.
"There is an ambush! The stubborn Luo Laowai wants to trick me. Come on, the machine gunner will press on him and kill Luo Laowai. There will be rewards for the heavy losses."
Ma Zhenbang realized that something was wrong, but he didn't take it too seriously because he had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. The worst he could do was suppress the situation with fire, and at most he would kill a few more people.
As long as you have money, you can have whatever you want.
Ma Zhenbang also wanted to win the battle quickly, otherwise he would not be able to benefit from the delay if Luo Laowai's reinforcements arrived.
The Yunnan Army began to cautiously enter the Dimen Cave, with dozens of machine guns at the front, covering a wide range of firepower.
Unfortunately, this end of the gate is a long slope. Luo Laowai's troops have already found bunkers and are distributed on three sides, occupying a geographical advantage. Even if the opposite side has machine guns and a numerical advantage, they can't even think of charging in a short time.
Come up.
At the same time, the troops behind Ma Zhenbang and the people in Xiling also set up their guns and cannons.
"Hit me hard!"
"Bang bang bang..."
"Boom~"
Countless bullets and cannons bombarded Ma Zhenbang's camp.
The Yunnan Army was caught off guard and suffered hundreds of casualties in a short period of time.
Ma Zhenbang was startled. He looked behind him and found that the dense energy was covering his side. There were many figures in the forest. He didn't know how many people were ambushed. He suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Master!"
Ma Zhenbang's men said anxiously: "We have fallen into a trap. A large group of people appeared in the rear. From the sound of gunshots, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people."
"I'm not deaf. Let's quickly organize a breakout and fight through the gate. As long as we can deal with Foreigner Luo, victory will still be ours."
Ma Zhenbang's eyes turned red, he pulled out his pistol and planned to make a desperate move.
It is almost impossible to break through from the rear. The firepower there is very strong and the number of people is overwhelming. The possibility of fighting a bloody way is extremely slim.
Luo Laowai, who is opposite the Dimen, only has 2,000 troops. As long as Luo Laowai is eliminated, the Xiangxi army will be leaderless, and he may not be able to turn defeat into victory and take control of the overall situation.
No matter how bad the situation is, you can still use the power of the terrain to resist the troops in the rear and gain a chance to retreat.
Ma Zhenbang led people through the gate, released the animals and shouted: "Cease fire, cease fire, Lao Luo, how about we talk?"
Ma Zhenbang originally rushed towards the mountain, but after seeing the situation behind the gate, he knew that it was impossible to rush up the mountain in a short time, so he immediately changed his strategy and planned to see if peace could be negotiated.
Ma Zhenbang didn't want to risk his life unless he had to.
However, Ma Zhenbang still had a hand. While asking for a ceasefire, he called several of his gunners to his side and whispered: "Listen clearly to me. If the negotiation breaks down, you can fire at Luo Laowei's place."
