Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 145 Chapter 144

144,

"The power is good, I am very satisfied."

Seeing the roof of his former office being blown off by a cannonball, Colonel Beckett put away the binoculars and nodded in satisfaction:
"You guys continue!"

The sky has begun to dawn, and this is the southernmost tip of the O'Bravo Heights, which is the cliff south of Fort Closhang. Below the cliff is the turbulent St. Louis River, which flows eastward.

For the support of Tumbleweed Town and Benedict Station, the Closhangburg cavalry who launched the victory and pursuit appeared here. They are all strong men and horses, and they are fully armed search company cavalry.Like everyone else, Colonel Beckett, who was in the middle of the team, also appeared here in an ordinary cavalry uniform.

Where there was originally a cliff behind them, a road leading to the river bank was built along the protruding terrain.The hidden road is a bit tortuous, but it is very spacious. Not only people and horses can ride down, but even big guys like artillery can be dragged up.

Directly in front of Colonel Beckett, the five drawn-up cannons were already lined up, aiming at Fort Buchan.

A faint blue smoke was still wafting from the muzzle of one of the artillery pieces.

The Hotkiss 47mm rapid-fire gun has a long and narrow body, and the wheels weigh less than 500 kilograms, so it can be dragged by two horses.Although the lightweight gun body limits the power of the artillery, it is more flexible and fast-firing.

In actual use, although the theoretical rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute cannot be achieved, with a little practice, more than a dozen shells can be poured into a range of five kilometers including Buchanbao within one minute.

With the wave of the signal flag, a soldier immediately pulled the rope on the breech breech and yanked it violently.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Amidst the dust, five hot solid shells blasted towards Closhang Fort over a distance of more than 3000 meters.

The roar continued, and every few seconds, a shell roared out.In order to prevent the dust from falling on the clothes, Colonel Beckett came to the rear of the team, on the edge of the cliff, and a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper approached him.

"With all due respect, sir, no, Mr. Colonel, this is somewhat different from the original plan."

"Where is the access?"

"Well, Mr. Robinson helped you mobilize the artillery for you to destroy the enemy and guard this land, but you..."

"Aren't I just destroying the enemy?"

"But if the artillery continues to blast like this, the cloth merchant castle will be destroyed." The rumbling sound made the middle-aged housekeeper a little anxious.

"Destroyed? It's not good to be destroyed. It has completed its mission, and it's time for it to disappear."

"But……"

"There is nothing wrong, Mr. Steward. My father sent you here to assist me, not to order me to change my plan. As for today's matter, don't worry, after this matter is over, I will report to you personally He explained."

"Okay, take it easy, my housekeeper, don't worry about these little things. Let's hurry up and enjoy the beautiful sunrise in New Austin. Believe me, you must have never seen such a beautiful view before. I won’t be able to see you again in the future.”

After finishing speaking, Colonel Beckett ignored the anxious butler, and looked towards the end of the St. Louis River, where a little gold was tearing apart the light blue sky and gradually emerging.

The sunrise is really beautiful, but Dai Pingan has no intention of admiring it.

He was not blasted out by a shell, but by two sticks of dynamite ignited by a solid shell.

Outside the door of the corridor is the stairs to the upper floor. Before the explosion, Hei Erqing, who was covering his shoulders, led people No. [-] and [-] to guard there.

He didn't know what happened in the corridor, and when he heard the gunshots inside, he planned to rush in with someone, but the inside exploded as soon as he took a step.The entire building shaken by the explosion was shaking, and in a hurry, two black shadows were seen flying out of the corridor one by one, wrapped in various fragments.

The one on the top flew straight out, fell to the bottom and disappeared in the dark courtyard.

The one below slammed into the guardrail of the stairs first, and after a muffled "bang", it slid down the gap under the guardrail like a ball of mud.It wasn't until the sound of falling that He Erqing noticed that the person who fell was Dai Pingan.

"Master Dai!"

Regardless of the gunshot wound on his shoulder, Hei Erqing turned over and jumped down, and lifted the limp Dai Pingan from the hard ground:
"Master Dai, are you okay?"

While asking, he shook vigorously, the movement was very violent, but Dai Pingan, who was paralyzed into a pool of mud, did not respond at all.

fine?

How could it be all right,

The moment Dai Pingan hit the thick log guardrail at the waist, Dai Pingan, who was already in pain, felt like he was being smashed like a branch.He could hear the cracking of bones clearly, and even felt that his entire body lost consciousness at that moment.

I can't feel anything anymore,
The burn from the explosion is gone,

The colic in the waist that can hurt people to death is gone.

Even when his head was thrown down from the second floor to the solid ground, Dai Pingan didn't feel any discomfort.

Everything slows down again,

Even if he didn't open Dead Eye at all,
normal vision,
normal world,
The only abnormal thing is that time seems to slow down,
Hei Erqing kept closing his mouth, scraps of paper drifted out from the corridor on the second floor, and everything, slowly, even afterimages appeared after the movement.

A black dot spotted a light red handwriting on the dark blue canvas, and then stopped on the railing on the second floor.After a brief pause, the broken pieces of wood, like blown dandelion seeds, floated down from above, followed by the iron pellet the size of a lemon.

In the process of falling, the iron pellet became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a solid iron ball the size of a lemon. As it rolled slowly, the uneven lines on it were clearly visible, and it fell towards his head.

And all of this, Hei Erqing, who lowered his head and was busy shaking himself, didn't notice it.

Can't you just look up?
Even if you can't see it, you should be able to hear it, right?

The shells are all falling, why don't you hurry up and dodge?

Hug yourself as a dying person and shake your ass, you?
Hei Erqing shook, shook, and shouted,

The saliva splashed all over his face.

The anxious face was distorted to the extreme. He was not very good-looking in the first place, but now he was ugly.

Dai Pingan, who had given up struggling and wanted to close his eyes to wait for death but couldn't close his eyes, stared at this face more and more anxiously, and the more he looked, the more angry he became, and he really wanted to slap him.

"Snapped!"

The cannonballs that were still warm smashed a fist-sized puddle on the solid ground, and Dai Pingan, who was pulling Hei Erqing away from the falling debris, finally slapped the opponent's face firmly with a slap superior.
