America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 165
The Pinkerton detectives were cautious.

Compared with the lifeless gangsters that Chen Jianqiu encountered along the way, they all knew who they were facing.

According to their survey:
This man killed a cavalry lieutenant of the U.S. Army, a captain of the mounted police team, and led a small team to kill several western gangsters; Cut from the north of the street to the south of the street; in addition, this person is also related to many bombings, arson, murders...

In the words of their hook-nosed boss Lynch, the reason why this person's bounty is only six hundred dollars is because there are at least two or three thousand dollars credited to other people.

According to their intelligence, this person is extremely capable in melee combat, but his marksmanship is ordinary.

But just now, their boss ran out of the shadows with a gloomy face.

Although they were used to Lynch's sinister face, it was the first time they saw him in such a mess.

"The old cowboy is dead," Lynch said.

Everyone was stunned. Although they didn't know where the old cowboy came from, judging from Lynch's attitude towards him, he was by no means an ordinary person.

"This man is very dangerous. You have to keep a distance from him. He only has a revolver in his hand now. Be sure to kill him here." Lynch ordered.

Lynch walked under the moon alone, lost in thought.

He had countless opportunities to kill this person before, but he always felt that only this person could find the location of the final treasure.

In order to be able to find the treasure, and he has a trump card at the bottom of the box, he and his team were let go again and again.

But as the follow-up deepened, he felt that things became more and more difficult.

This Chinese has never been able to use a gun, and now he is as good as himself, but it is only a few months. Without the guidance of that person, it is completely impossible to do it.

Lynch felt cheated.

He now has to make countermeasures before things get out of hand.

Pinkerton's detectives obeyed Lynch's instructions and controlled the distance from Chen Jianqiu. They kept shooting and suppressing the cart.

Chen Jianqiu tried to fight back, but the detectives' shooting firepower was strong enough, and the staggering was layered enough.

The flatbed and its contents had taken the worst beatings, with splinters of sawdust and bullet-torn items and their wrapping papers everywhere.

Holmes' box of cigars, the item placed closest to the driver's seat, was the first to be wiped out.

A bullet knocked off the wooden collar of the wagon axle, the wheels rolled out, and the wagon finally collapsed under the load.

The items in the car were scattered all over the place, and the Winchester repeating rifle fell further away from Chen Jianqiu.

He quickly moved to the corner where the deck was the widest.

He was going to change cover or even run away.

However, several bullets landed around the wreckage of the carriage, stirring up clouds of dust.

The detectives shot, covering all the lines around him.

If this continues, the wreckage of the carriage will be smashed to pieces sooner or later, and the stray bullets alone will be enough for him to drink a pot.

Suddenly, a familiar gunshot came from a distance.

This gunshot was different from all the repeating rifles present, but from some kind of large-caliber single-shot rifle.

A scream.

"Watch out! There are snipers!" The gunshots from the opposite rifles suddenly stopped, and Pinkerton's detectives seemed to have been attacked.

Chen Jianqiu looked in their direction.

The body of a Pinkerton detective who died tragically lay under the moonlight.

The half of his body that was shot was bloody and bloody, and it seemed that the tissues of his body had been torn apart by the large-caliber bullet when he was shot.

Chen Jianqiu has seen this kind of large-caliber rifle, Sharps 1874.

That thing is for hunting bison!
Just as Pinkerton's detectives were still looking around for the sniper's location, another shot was fired.

This time the scene was even more tragic. A person's entire arm was directly removed. The impactful scene shocked the scene far more than killing the enemy itself.

Chen Jianqiu has already discovered the source of the gunshots. In the dark night, he saw a woman standing on the bell tower of the church from a distance, shooting at Pinkerton's detectives.

If it's not Camilla, who is it?

After Camilla sniped the third Pinkerton detective, she took her large-caliber rifle and quickly changed the sniper position to a roof beside the clock tower.

The Pinkerton detectives finally found the sniper's position based on the gunshots, raised their guns and shot towards the clock tower.

The chaotic bullets made the bell jingle, as if it was hitting some weird music, which looked extraordinarily weird in the dark night.

But this can't stop their members from being sniped, and each shot is more brutal.

Chen Jianqiu was just about to pick up his Winchester while the other side was in a state of desperation.

However, for some unknown reason, the gun suddenly floated from the ground into the air.

Chen Jianqiu thought he was dazzled, and he was just about to start shooting to see what happened.

A white "crescent moon" appeared next to the gun, followed by a pair of eyes.

"Boss, take the gun!" Xiao En threw the gun over with a smile.

Chen Jianqiu also laughed, he gave Xiao En a thumbs up, and then scolded: "Can I trouble you not to pretend to be aggressive on the battlefield, but help me get the bullets?"

When Xiao En heard this, he quickly ran over with the bullet and handed it to Chen Jianqiu.

"Hanif is on the other side of the courtyard wall, and it is estimated that he will soon exchange fire with the people there."

Chen Jianqiu poured the bullets into the magazine of the repeating rifle.

He burst out from behind the wagon and ran towards the courtyard wall, shooting at the Pinkerton detectives to the east.

By the time he returned to the courtyard wall, the thirteen bullets in the gun had been emptied.

"Hell! He's got the repeating rifle!" cried one of Pinkerton's detectives suddenly.

At this time, they have been tortured beyond words.

There is a sniper on the top of Tianling Gai, and directly opposite is a semi-automatic repeating rifle.

There are already a pile of corpses lying on the ground on my side, and the death conditions are getting worse and worse.

Their Pinkerton team, led by Lynch, has never suffered such a big setback since their debut.

But they are still well trained.

They retreated in an organized manner, hiding in the blind spot of the sniper rifle's field of vision, and then blocked Chen Jianqiu's advancing route.

Then, the gang of detectives in the west began to have bad luck.

People in the east can't fight, so let's hit the west.

Chen Jianqiu, Hanif, and Sean turned their guns around, aiming at the Pinkerton detectives they could see.

Hanif has never fought such a cool night battle, as long as he follows Chen Jianqiu, it will be over.

The place he took to hide was the blind spot of most of the guns on the opposite side.

Whichever direction he shoots his gun, there will basically be one person down in that direction, and there is no need to refill the gun.

"Chen, it's so dark, you can't really see the opposite position, can you?"

Hanif was a little stunned, combining his agility and elusive whereabouts, plus his thoughts all the time.

He expressed the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for several months,
"You have vampire blood, don't you?"

"Well, it is possible." Chen Jianqiu replied while shooting, "Asuka, that Indian is a werewolf, but he just hangs around with me, Sean? Sean is a zombie."

"Zombies? What are zombies?"

Haniff didn't know what the word "zombie" referred to, but he couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while. It was a bit outrageous for a werewolf to be a vampire's subordinate.

"Are you guys talking about me?" Sean suddenly heard someone say his name.

He turned his head and grinned at Hanif, making cold sweat break out from Hanif's back.

After the three joined the battle, Chen Jianqiu felt a lot less pressure.

But they still couldn't go any further. Pinkerton's detectives had basically found a place to hide from the church's sniper rifle.

Relying on the favorable terrain, they blocked the advance and retreat routes of Chen Jianqiu and the others.

No matter how capable they are, their bullets will run out, and they are ready to continue fighting.

"It's okay, Chen, I'll let Holmes and the others notify Geronimo." Hanif said, "Anyway, the sheriff of this county has already been surrounded in the security station, so it doesn't matter if he is exposed or not."

"Then they won't arrive until dawn." Chen Jianqiu said, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Hanif didn't know why, so he turned his head, but saw Chen Jianqiu looking in the direction of the wilderness.

"Unless they leave early!"

Where Chen Jianqiu looked, there was a burst of horseshoes.

　Thank you Xiaoqi for the monthly pass, thank you for your recommendation tickets and subscriptions, thank you very much.
