Venga/Vega

[Michael30000]

Hola a todos,

In one scene in the movie Carne de horca, Lucero's bandits are preparing an ambush on a stagecoach carrying money. The operation is led by Lucero's second-in-command named Chiclanero.

When the bandits arrive at the scene, Ciclanero gives some command, after which all the bandits get off their horses and go to their places.

Do I understand correctly that he says “Venga” to mean “take your places/take post”?

On the other hand the word in question sounds a little like "Vega" in which case it should be someone's surname/last name, but that doesn't make much sense to me in the context of the scene.

The scene in question starts at 48.11.

Thank you.

It's definitively Vega/vega.

Most problably the name of one of those two horsemen that went down. In that case, he's calling them to take their position according to the plan.

Less problably he's using the word vega, meaning a low well watered stretch of land, as in Las Vegas, but also a ravine or gully, like the highly eroded terrain where most of the bandits are to await in ambush.
