After saying that, Ma Sanbao led a hundred soldiers away. The border general behind him was naturally worried, so he quickly ordered the assembly of all the border troops, more than a thousand men, and then headed towards the battlefield.
Soon, Ma Sanbao and his hundred men arrived at the destination. Upon arrival, they saw two thousand enemy soldiers crossing the border and preparing to break through the defense line.
Then they went to burn, kill, and loot the people of Sumatra.
After Ma Sanbao arrived, he immediately gave an order:
"Fire! End the battle quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately raised their guns, aimed, and fired.
Some of the more concentrated groups would pull out bombs, throw them forcefully, and the bombs would explode, instantly taking the lives of more than a dozen soldiers.
With gunfire and artillery fire erupting, the two thousand soldiers on the other side were completely bewildered, their expressions changing drastically.
After all, they had never seen such a scene before. In fact, most of the soldiers in these places were still stuck in the era of cold weapons.
The Ming Dynasty, having acquired cannons and firearms, was essentially given an unfair advantage, making it a force to be reckoned with against smaller states in these regions.
Furthermore, modern bombs and firearms have been modified to be more convenient, more powerful, and easier to aim.
This is a cheat code that's been used without any cheating involved.
Therefore, the soldiers in these local areas, when faced with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, were like a swarm of ants seeing a human being.
This person also wanted to wipe out this swarm of ants. It couldn't be easier.
The gunfire and artillery fire lasted for a short while before ceasing. Ma Sanbao, looking at the rows of corpses lying before him, calmly addressed the hundred soldiers behind him:
"Let's retreat."
As they turned around, they saw the border general and the more than a thousand soldiers who had come to their rescue.
They were completely stunned by what they saw.
To everyone's surprise, those same hundred soldiers easily wiped out an enemy several times stronger than before.
Yet they remained completely unharmed.
The border general looked at Ma Sanbao in shock, then at the hundred soldiers behind him, and at that moment he truly understood what real strength meant.
If a hundred soldiers from the Ming Dynasty are this formidable, then the entire fleet must have a full ten thousand such soldiers.
If all 10,000 soldiers were deployed to the battlefield, wouldn't they be invincible? World domination wouldn't seem like a problem at all, would it?
Indeed, that was the case. Those more than 10,000 soldiers carried muskets, cannons, and all sorts of advanced weapons. Wherever they went, they were like a machine, and absolutely no one could stop them.
Dominating the world is not a problem at all.
Ma Sanbao, however, was used to it and smiled at the Sumatran soldiers who had rushed over, saying:
"Didn't we agree you didn't need to come? What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, the Sumatran soldiers were all at a loss. How could they explain it?
They said they came to help, but it doesn't seem necessary.
It wouldn't be right to say they came to watch the fun, would it?
And so, the general on the other side stammered and began to speak:
"Ah...we...we just wanted to find a cool place to stay...oh yes, that's it...don't mind us..."
This was the best explanation he could think of at that moment.
Ma Sanbao simply smiled and didn't say much. After this battle, the generals on the other side had complete confidence in Ma Sanbao and his capable soldiers.
After all, their strength has been demonstrated. Those hundred people could kill several hundred at first, then two thousand, and it wouldn't be surprising if they wiped out ten thousand next time.
And that was indeed the case, because the very next day, the Orphanage seemed to realize that the resistance in Sumatra was quite fierce.
Because both of their sent-out troops were wiped out, and no one returned alive.
They were made aware that the situation was not good, but they didn't really understand the situation, so they remained somewhat clueless.
So the king of the orphanage made up his mind to lead a large army to completely rule Sumatra.
After all, they've already lost two waves of men, and if things continue like this, it'll definitely make their own people lose confidence.
The only option now is to seize the opportunity and quickly bring Sumatra under our control.
Therefore, the king of the orphanage directly ordered the mobilization of 50,000 troops to the border of Sumatra, preparing to directly rule Sumatra.
