Warlords: Rise of the System
Chapter 23 Ambush
Lu Tianhao captured Captain Zhao and his 2000 men. Marshal Luo and several deputy generals and staff officers in the Marshal's Mansion already knew about it.
They are very anxious now. More than 1000 people have died at the hands of Lu Tianhao, and now another 2000 have been captured.
Marshal Luo had only about 1 troops, and he lost 10/ of his strength in one go. How could they not be anxious?
To feed more than 30,000 troops, a lot of civilians are needed to feed them. If the occupied territory is small, it is simply impossible to feed so many troops.
The larger the territory, the more places need to be protected.
Once the troops are dispersed and stationed, only more than 1 people can be mobilized for combat, which means that 4/ of the combat troops are suddenly lost.
Just when Marshal Luo was at a loss, Lu Tianhao contacted him.
Lu Tianhao didn't waste any words and directly asked him to pay the ransom.
After communication between the two parties, an agreement was reached with a ransom of five silver dollars per person.
After learning that he could redeem guns and ammunition, and could also purchase guns and ammunition from Lu Tianhao.
Marshal Luo had an idea in mind and was ready to spend a huge amount of money.
There were probably more than 2000 old guns confiscated, and Lu Tianhao was very generous, simply counting them as 2000 guns, at 15 silver dollars for each one.
The new guns purchased by Marshal Luo were priced at 30 silver dollars per rifle, and all the bullets were calculated at 10 silver dollars per silver dollar.
Lu Tianhao sold another 100 light machine guns to Marshal Luo, each for 100 silver dollars.
When he learned that Lu Tianhao could also sell 60mm anti-guns, Marshal Luo completely lost his composure.
Buy! As long as the price is not too high, Marshal Luo will buy some mortars even if he has to spend all his money.
Lu Tianhao's price was 60 silver dollars for each 500mm mortar. Marshal Luo gritted his teeth and bought 100 of them.
The shells for the 60mm mortar are ten silver dollars each. How many can you sell them to him for?
Marshal Luo bought 5000 shells worth silver dollars at once.
With so many shells, there would be no problem in fighting a medium-sized battle.
Marshal Luo spent a total of 20 silver dollars on purchasing various guns and mortars, as well as paying the ransom.
These 20 silver dollars weighed probably more than five tons. After discussion, both parties finally agreed to place the transaction in the border area of the territory controlled by Marshal Luo.
The main reason for choosing such a trading location is the fear that Lu Tianhao would become suspicious and cancel the transaction.
Lu Tianhao was not worried about being robbed by other gangs, but he was mainly afraid of trouble.
Lu Tianhao is now eager to go home and doesn't want to waste too much time on this.
Lu Tianhao released the 2000 prisoners and handed over more than 2000 confiscated old guns and bullets to them.
Lu Tianhao led his men and broke camp before dawn the next day and continued their march.
Three days later, we finally arrived near the transaction location.
Lu Tianhao found a secret place and exchanged all the weapons and ammunition that needed to be traded.
Then he sent someone to inform Marshal Luo's men.
The transaction between the two parties went smoothly.
After looking at the weapons and ammunition that needed to be traded, Marshal Luo's men took Lu Tianhao and the others to the place where the silver dollars were stored.
After both parties checked that everything was correct, the transaction was carried out.
Lu Tianhao's men handed over the weapons and ammunition to the other party and left.
After Marshal Luo's men handed the silver dollars to Lu Tianhao, they left.
Lu Tianhao had no intention of caring about how the other party transported these weapons and ammunition, but directly put more than five tons of silver dollars into the system space.
Then he quickly left the place with his men.
Although the two sides seem friendly on the surface, who knows if they will turn against each other?
Lu Tianhao's worries were unnecessary. Lu Tianhao's troops were powerful and well-equipped with weapons. Marshal Luo's men were very afraid of them.
After the transaction was completed, it was Marshal Luo's men who were wary of them. Only after watching them leave did they breathe a sigh of relief.
For this transaction, Marshal Luo apparently only sent one regiment of people, but in fact, there were four or five other regiments on guard in secret places.
The powerful combat capability of Lu Tianhao's army made them deeply wary, and they were very worried that Lu Tianhao would take advantage of the transaction this time.
The final outcome was a happy one for everyone, as both parties got what they wanted safely and smoothly.
After Lu Tianhao and his group quickly evacuated, they headed towards their destination.
However, they did not know that a crisis was waiting for them on the road ahead.
It turned out that the silver dollars transported by Marshal Luo were seen by two bandits.
At the beginning, they only knew that Marshal Luo had transported a large number of boxes, but they didn't know what was in the boxes.
The axle of the carriage transporting the box broke on a bumpy road, causing the box to fall over and silver dollars to scatter all over the ground.
The two bandits were extremely surprised when they saw this.
They checked carefully and found that there were a lot of boxes transported this time. According to their preliminary estimate, there were at least 100,000 silver dollars.
This was a huge sum of money, but with so many troops escorting it, they could only sigh at the money.
The two bandits did not give up and followed them from a distance. Finally, they discovered that the army was transporting so many silver dollars to trade with others.
The two bandits did not see the transaction between Lu Tianhao and Marshal Luo, and the weapons and ammunition involved.
However, the two bandits saw clearly that this army handed the silver dollars to Lu Tianhao and his men.
When collecting the silver dollars, Lu Tianhao sent soldiers to keep watch from a distance. The two bandits were frightened and fled quickly, so they did not see how the silver dollars were taken away.
When Lu Tianhao led the troops to withdraw, the two bandits followed him, one while the other quickly returned to the mountain to report to the boss.
When he learned that Lu Tianhao's army only had about 300 people.
The boss made a decision and took all his men, more than 800 people, to ambush this troop.
This group of bandits were very familiar with the terrain here. They looked for a place they thought was suitable for an ambush and set up an ambush.
Although Dunzi and Gousheng sent out a lot of scouts, they were not familiar with the place after all, and they did not detect any ambush.
When Lu Tianhao's team entered the ambush circle, the ambushers suddenly launched an attack.
Lu Tianhao's soldiers were caught off guard and fell into a passive position.
But they were well-trained and quickly organized to fight back.
Although there were more than 800 bandits, they were only equipped with more than 300 old guns, most of which had their rifling smoothed out, making them completely inaccurate.
Although the bandits launched a surprise attack, they only injured thirty or forty soldiers but did not kill a single one.
Even so, it completely infuriated Lu Tianhao.
Lu Tianhao didn't care about shocking the world anymore. He directly took out the mortar from the space and prepared to give this group of bandits a severe beating.
