As soon as Ma Sanbao finished speaking, the soldiers opened fire.
One hundred soldiers using muskets faced only four or five hundred soldiers from that country. So, on average, each soldier could fire about five shots to wipe out all of those soldiers.
So after a few gunshots, the soldiers on the other side all fell to the ground, crying and screaming in agony.
Some even collapsed and died instantly, all within moments.
The hundreds of soldiers opposite him died almost in the blink of an eye.
This scene left the Sumatran border general completely stunned. He stared wide-eyed, rubbed his ears, and felt that the bursts of gunfire had made his ears uncomfortable.
But the greater shock came from the deaths of the enemy on the other side.
They could hardly believe it. The sound of the weapons in the hands of these Ming soldiers was so loud that all the people on the other side fell to the ground and died. How could this be?
Holding knives, they were momentarily at a loss.
General Fang swallowed hard, his mind filled with only one thought: What use is this knife to me?
Of course, at this moment he truly realized how terrifying the Ming army was.
After all, they had witnessed it with their own eyes. Such a situation was something they would never have dared to imagine before, but now they had actually seen it. It was indeed quite terrifying.
What was supposed to be a fierce battle ended so abruptly and inexplicably?
Not only were the Sumatran generals shocked, but the surrounding soldiers also looked at Ma Sanbao and the Ming soldiers with disbelief.
One hundred men stood motionless here, and with only their weapons, they killed all the enemies from dozens of feet away.
No one on our side was injured?
Such a terrible result left the Sumatran soldiers in disbelief for a long time, their faces showing expressions of disbelief. Clearly, such a thing was absolutely impossible in their eyes.
But then, it happened right before my eyes.
This created some conflict between them.
At this moment, Ma Sanbao calmly addressed the Ming soldiers:
"Let's end the battle and retreat..."
After saying that, Ma Sanbao led the hundred soldiers back to the main force in the rear for rest and recuperation.
Zhu Yunwen was unaware of the battle situation and only told the King of Sumatra:
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem."
The King of Sumatra, however, said with some concern:
"I understand that the Ming Dynasty has a strong fighting force, and many of its soldiers are elites."
This time, after all, the number of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty was not large. However, the orphanage had nearly seventy or eighty thousand elite troops.
"Perhaps Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, could you have the Ming Dynasty send some more soldiers? I'm willing to pay you extra in return."
Zhu Yunwen scoffed and said:
"Only seventy or eighty thousand soldiers, nothing to worry about. Like I said, don't worry too much."
Hearing Zhu Yunwen say this, the King of Sumatra was still very worried.
So he thought that, without offending Zhu Yunwen, he could secretly send more Sumatran soldiers to join Zhu Yunwen's several thousand soldiers and see if they could completely solve this problem for Sumatra.
With that thought in mind, I immediately took action.
That very day, the king secretly ordered the deployment of an additional 90,000 troops to the border region, hoping that this time, with the help of the Ming Dynasty's reputation and a small number of soldiers, he could see if he could resolve the problem.
Meanwhile, in the border region, after Ma Sanbao had his soldiers rest, news soon came that the Orphan Kingdom had sent nearly two thousand soldiers to prepare for a large-scale invasion of Sumatra.
Upon hearing this, the Sumatran general panicked, unsure of what to do.
However, Ma Sanbao sneered and said:
"There's absolutely no need to worry. If you're afraid, you don't have to come with us."
As he spoke, Ma Sanbao directly gave orders to the soldiers below:
"Send a hundred soldiers, bring your weapons and follow me."
After saying that, Ma Sanbao headed straight for the distance.
Immediately afterward, about a hundred soldiers, armed with weapons, quickly followed. These soldiers were very enthusiastic and excited, showing no fear whatsoever.
This scene once again left many Sumatran soldiers and generals feeling incredulous.
In their view, it was impressive that a hundred Ming soldiers could eliminate several hundred enemies in the past, but now the enemy had increased to two thousand soldiers, four or five times more than before.
However, Ma Sanbao still only brought one hundred soldiers, which they found hard to understand.
Therefore, the border general spoke up to remind him:
"General of the Ming Dynasty, there is something I want to say, but I don't know if I should."
Ma Sanbao turned around and said to General Guan over there:
"Please feel free to speak your mind."
General Guan then said:
“This time the enemy has brought about two thousand men, and you only brought one hundred. I’m afraid… How about this, you bring more men, and we’ll bring all our troops here as well. That way we can be absolutely sure.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Sanbao simply smiled and said:
"There's no need for that. One hundred people are enough. You don't need to worry too much. Just wait."
