Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

207 Chapter 206, Massacre
206,

Colonel Beckett's men were very punctual, and came at three o'clock when they said three o'clock.

As soon as Dai Ping'an's voice fell, the deathly silence outside was broken by rustling footsteps.And the movement is getting louder and louder. Just by listening to it with your ears, you can imagine hundreds of soldiers coming here like a tide.

The reaction in the hall was also quick. Under Dai Ping'an's order, the red wooden box with the danger sign on the corner was opened, the bundle of explosives on the upper floor was removed, and the shotguns were taken out one by one. There is also a Hotchkiss 1897 heavy machine gun like an electromagnetic gun in the box at the bottom.

Numerous guards and office workers who were hostages were also released.

They had no choice but to cooperate with the actions of Ah Tian and others. They took the weapons and bullets and began to search for places suitable for defense on each floor. Even Teddy Brown, who was shot in the arm, was under the order of Mr. Lansing , together with the loyal butler of the Leclerc family, carried a Hatchkiss up to the second floor.

For a while, only Dai Pingan and the others were left in the middle of the much-empty hall, and they did not hide or hide around the explosive barrels with candles.

The dense footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Philip began to panic, but looked at Dai Ping'an who bowed his head and lit his cigarette, the sweaty Mr. Lansing, and the shrewd and witty Jessica calmed down.

Because Mayor Voss, who has been dead for several days, is now by their side.

With or without the mayor, the meaning is completely different.

Without this mayor, even if they survived today with Dai Ping'an, they would have troubles in the future. Under Colonel Beckett's operation, they might be accused of "treason" or "conspirator" charges.

But with the mayor on their side, not only did they have no worries, but they could justifiably take revenge on the Robinson family.

Of course, they also know that even if the mayor of Voss goes out now, he may not be able to stop the soldiers transferred by Colonel Beckett, and it is impossible for them to repel the hundreds of people outside with a few machine guns. attack.But the resurrection of the mayor of Voss shows that Dai Ping'an's headless murder was not just to cause panic among the residents, but was premeditated.

Premeditated is today!
In order to avoid complications, Colonel Crowe omitted the part of shouting, not even blowing the bugle, and directly ordered his soldiers to charge after giving the order not to accept the prisoners.

In the face of the silent attack, there was no movement in the surrounded building, and the speed of the soldiers' feet was so fast that the few people who rushed to the front didn't even notice that they kicked away when they ran across the center of the square. What, they didn't notice a dozen or so inconspicuous sparks swimming behind them at a fast speed.

At this time, Dai Pingan in the middle of the hall just took his first puff of cigarette.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

A series of explosions exploded around the square of the Heishui town. Dozens of soldiers rushing behind flew up amidst the roar before they could understand what happened.

The soldiers rushing forward stopped in their tracks, but the first to react was Colonel Crowe, who was observing from the top of the opposite building with a brass telescope.But before he put down the binoculars in front of him to see clearly, several harsh and familiar whistling sounds soared into the sky.

"Bombardment! Lying..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The explosion sounded again, but this time it was not the soldiers who had already rushed to the gate of the building but stopped, nor was it the most crowded place in the center of the square in Heishui Town, but the Pinkerton Detective Company building behind them. roof!
All the soldiers watched helplessly as their superior, Colonel Crowe, and other officers disappeared into a cloud of dust on the roof.Under the scorching sun, a ray of golden light flew out from the smog and hit the foot of a stunned soldier, but it turned out to be a brass telescope that had been deformed to the point where it could no longer be deformed.

At the same time, two distinct clicking sounds began to sound.

It's the sound of a heavy machine gun,
Not from the center of the encirclement, but from the west of Heishui Town.

Among them are the American-made Maxim and the French Hatchkiss. Fifteen heavy machine guns were mounted on fifteen carriages that appeared on the western hillside, and rushed down from the northern entrance to harvest life.

And behind these carriages, there were five Hotchkiss rapid-fire guns lined up. With Cai Maozai's arm slamming, the gunners pulled the running rope again.

At the same moment, at the other end of Blackwater Town, a group of 200 masked cavalry roared in from the south exit, led by Bill wielding a saber.Different from the standard cavalry, they wear different costumes, hold different weapons, and even have different skin colors behind the masks. The only thing in common is the black dollar sign on the cloaks behind them. Fluttering in the wind in the blood-red palm prints.

This is the logo of the New Austin Provisional Independence Regiment, and it is also the logo of Dai Pingan.

Colonel Beckett's men are very punctual, but his men, Dai Ping'an, don't like to be late, and they come just in time.

On the heart of the earth plains in New Hanover, he was chased like a dog alone by hundreds of policemen and bounty hunters, and he still has the memory of being chased up and down.

And now, he is no longer that lonely stray dog,
He is the mayor,

Mayor of Armadillo,
A mayor like Colonel Beckett,

The mayor of a town leading a pack of wolves.

"boom……"

With the roar of the rapid-fire cannon, several clouds of smoke and dust mixed with human stumps exploded from the center of the square, finally causing the stunned soldiers to react.But before the pieces of meat from the sky fell to the ground, the horse-drawn carriage team carrying heavy machine guns, carried by two horses, had already rushed to the front along the road outside the square of Heishui Town in just a few seconds.

What cavalrymen fear most is not artillery, but machine guns. Two machine guns can become a cavalry troop's nightmare, even if the cavalry has begun to accelerate their charge.

Facing fifteen muzzles that were trembling and screaming at this time, the cavalry who were about to attack the building, let alone horses, didn't even have a place to hide.They could only stand foolishly in the open square, watching the fifteen carriages scraping past the outside like fifteen scrapers.

Every scraping is like peeling off a layer of onion.

The soldiers on the periphery of the square fell to the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, and those who couldn't dodge were directly knocked down by the galloping horses and twisted into the bloody wheels.

It's not that no one shot back, but let alone whether they could stand up to the artillery fire falling from the sky and aim at a speeding carriage in the crowd of defeated people. The plate bullet flew out.

At this moment of chaos, the two doors of the building were quietly pushed open from the inside, and a round red wooden barrel was kicked out from inside, and crashed into the panicked crowd along the steps.

Like those wooden boxes marked with danger, this wooden barrel also has other arrangements: except for the real explosives in the middle third, the remaining two ends are filled with iron nails.

Dai Pingan pulled the trigger,
"Oh!"

The explosion masked the movement of the gun,
In the bright sunlight, two clusters of sparks the size of wheels spewed out from the smoke.

In the blink of an eye, a large area fell outside the gate.

The lucky one died on the spot, and the unlucky one seemed to have a red-hot iron pillar getting into his body, but he couldn't even find a wound on his body, only crying in pain.

While screaming in pain, the people in the building also joined in this one-sided massacre.

They didn't even have to shoot, they just threw the dynamite into the crowd, shivering against the walls of the building that couldn't retreat.

Explosions, gunfire, one after another, each one will stop the screams, but before the sound falls, the roar of the machine gun that has not stopped from the beginning to the end will make them continue to scream.

This is no longer a massacre, but a harvest of death from hell.

Some people collapsed, some were begging for mercy, and some threw down their weapons and raised their hands high, but the shooter who could control the machine gun seemed to have seen nothing, suppressing the shaking of the gunshot, letting the fire snakes coming out of the gun muzzle Sweeping over the body of the surrender, continue to swim in the crowd, dead or alive.

As for the soldiers who escaped by chance or stayed in Heishui Town, they were handed over to the cavalry of the Independent Regiment wearing masks.

They are all cavalry, but those who ride horses and those who don't ride horses are as simple as cutting sugarcane.The uniforms on their bodies became a sign that they were being chased. As long as they ran a little slower, they would be followed by the sound of hooves chasing after them, and they would be chopped down with a knife.

In the town, this desperate pursuit continued, but it gradually subsided in the square that had become a flesh and blood mill.When the last shell landed in the center of the square again, unlike before, there was no more howling or moaning of pain after the sound of the shell this time.The machine guns on the carriage stopped firing, and began to fill water or wait for natural cooling, and no explosives were thrown out of the building.

Compared with the indiscriminate bombing a second ago, the square full of dead bodies seemed to have suddenly regained its previous deathly silence.

Kicking away the body that was in the way, Dai Pingan flicked his finger lightly, and the burnt cigarette butt drew a perfect arc in the bloody air, and slowly sank into the scarlet flesh after landing.

Hunters often appear as prey.

This sentence is absolutely true. If he hadn't wrapped Mr. Lansing, the Leclerc siblings and other important figures in a building with nowhere to escape, how could these cavalrymen of Colonel Beckett give up on them immediately? What about the advantage of being a target under artillery and machine guns?

The order on the other side was not to take prisoners, which was exactly what Dai Pingan meant, because when he passed the news back, he also made a special arrangement for this meddling army, that is, not a single one would be left alive.

The town of Armadillo is sparsely populated and cannot keep so many disobedient captives. More importantly, he needs to give some people a signal, a signal paved with flesh and blood.

"I said that everyone will leave the building safely before dark."

Staring at the bloody square in front of him, Dai Pingan stood for a long time before Mayor Voss came out with the support of Grant and the bar manager:

"Mr. Lansing is still vomiting, Ms. Leclerc has passed out, and Philip is taking care of it." Grant explained helplessly, but the condition of the three of them was not much better.

Dai Ping'an did not expect such a thing to happen, so he had to focus on Mayor Voss:
"It's okay, I can still hold on." Mayor Voss' face was pale, the corners of his mouth were still wet, and he seemed to have vomited.

Seeing this situation, Dai Pingan didn't want to disappoint his insistence:
"The rest will be left to you, Mr. Voss. The people of Blackwater Town need your comfort now. As for what happened in the past few days, I think you should have thought of a reasonable explanation."

"Of course, Mr. Dai, the death of Mayor Bate, we can blame him for everything."

"Dead? Huh..." Dai Pingan smiled coldly:
"Mr. Voss, please don't oversimplify the matter. To put it bluntly, even if you and I die, our Colonel Beckett will not die. A man as prudent as he would not put himself in the in danger."

"What? Is he still alive?"

"Of course he's alive, and he's alive and well. But you can rest assured that the mayor of Bate has died in the chaos caused by him, and there is no body left! As for Colonel Beckett Robinson, who is still alive, there is no need Don't worry, I'll see him off later."

"Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know yet, but someone will tell me later." While speaking, Dai Ping'an turned to look at the bar manager beside him:

"right?"
