America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 19 Oh Roar, Ten Rings

Just as the fight on the mountain stream was in full swing, the five people in front had already walked out of the narrow mountain road and came to a place with wider terrain.

This is an open valley in the middle of the mountain. The mountains on both sides of the road are relatively gentle, and there are patches of coniferous forests.

The explosion sound from the other side of the mountain stream alerted the lieutenant immediately, and he immediately turned his horse's head, preparing to join the troops.

But suddenly a whistle rang through the valley, crisp and loud.

This whistle came from the immediate Chen Jianqiu.

"Kill him!" The lieutenant angrily drew out his gun to finish off this scheming Chinese.

But his horse panicked restlessly and nearly threw him off.

One shot missed, and the bullet almost flew to the soldiers behind Chen Jianqiu.

The other warhorses also began to become restless. These are trained warhorses. In this state, either a ferocious beast appeared, or they felt a huge threat.

At the same time, except for the lieutenant, the eyes of the other three soldiers turned to the corner of a forest on the hillside.

A rapid sound of hoofbeats came from there.

Soon, with a neigh, a black horse appeared there like a dark cloud.

This black horse was extremely strong, with a black mane fluttering backwards in the wind, with powerful steps and a ferocious aura.

It was the long-awaited black radish here.

It had already stayed here all night, if it hadn't thought of its bad-tempered master, it would have released Nanshan early and ran to play with the squirrels.

Just as it was pawing its hooves restlessly, a whistle sounded.

The black horse turned a corner, but the speed did not decrease, and rushed towards them from the hillside like a black lightning bolt.

The black radish that had been suffocated all night was like a gust of wind, and the four war horses were trembling, completely ignoring their master's orders.

Now that the king of horses is out, how could it be possible for a few incited beasts to overwhelm him.

"Quick! Kill him!" The three soldiers could no longer care about the lieutenant, and raised their guns hastily.

The soldier behind Chen Jianqiu also raised his gun, but a voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Hey, look this way." The Chinese in front of him turned around, smiled, and knocked his forehead on his head unexpectedly.

The soldier suddenly felt his eyes go dark, as if he had been hit with a stick and fell off his horse.

Another soldier fired a shot, but the black carrot was too fast and missed. When he was about to press the second bullet into the magazine, the black carrot was already in front of him like a whirlwind.

The black horse hit directly, the soldier's horse fell to the ground, and the soldier fell out like a puppet pulled by a string, fell heavily on the ground, fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

Hei Luobo didn't stop, and came to Chen Jianqiu's side.

Chen Jianqiu turned over and jumped onto its back.

The remaining soldier was also changing bullets, but when he raised his head again, he saw a pair of bound fists.

Chen Jianqiu turned his fist into a hammer and swung it straight on his head.

The soldier fell backwards, only to hear a "snap" and he was shot in the back.It turned out that the lieutenant was aiming at Chen Jianqiu, but the bullet was blocked by the soldier who fell backwards.

Seeing the lieutenant re-aiming, Chen Jianqiu quickly pulled out the shotgun from the horse and pulled the trigger, but found that there was no bullet loaded.

In desperation, he threw the gun directly.

The lieutenant pulled the trigger again. This time, he fired four shots in a row just to be on the safe side. As a result, the first shot hit the shotgun that was thrown in the past, and Chen Jianqiu, who had already reacted, bent over to dodge the others.

Six bullets were fired, but Mao didn't touch them.

The lieutenant pinched the horse's belly with his legs, patted the horse and fled.

While running away, he quietly reloaded the revolver.

Chen Jianqiu took out his dagger from the saddle bag, twisted the blade, cut off the rope tied to his hand, took out the Colt single-action revolver in his bag, and leaned on the black radish, facing the direction of the lieutenant chase after.

The lieutenant was about to turn around to fight back, but he saw a horse coming towards him, also galloping. The man seemed to have been injured on his arm. He took a closer look and recognized the identity of the man.

Feeling guilty, the lieutenant turned the horse's head and ran towards the forest.

The oncoming person was Morris. He was blocked and beaten by the adjutant leading a company of cavalry at the mountain stream. Now the stone bridge is broken, and the large troops cannot pass.Edward's order is a great opportunity to snatch back the treasure map.

So he left two people behind and asked them to fire two shots to drag the people on this side, and he took the other three people to try to detour over the cliff.

As a result, by coincidence, he was in the shooting field of view of the cavalry, and received another round of salvo, leaving behind two corpses, shot himself in the leg, and ran over desperately.

"Edward! Don't run, let's settle the bill later, let's get rid of that brat together first." Morris shouted forward while running.

The lieutenant didn't want to talk to him at all, he just wanted to join up with his troops as soon as possible, as long as they could join up, these two people would be nothing to fear.

Seeing that the lieutenant didn't slow down at all, Morris knew that he couldn't trust him, so he planned to deal with the Chinese behind him first.

He drew his rifle from his horse, straightened up suddenly, and fired a shot in the back.

Chen Jianqiu's attention was very concentrated at this time, and when he heard gunshots from behind, he immediately leaned over, and the bullets flew over him.

The Spencer lever-action rifle held by Morris has seven bullets in the magazine. The advantage is that the consistency of shooting is much higher than that of other rifles of the same period, but there is a disadvantage that can easily drive people crazy. When the lower push rod is pulled to load the bullet, it is easy to get stuck.

And now Morris is facing this embarrassing problem.

His gun jammed.

Chen Jianqiu's counterattack had already come, and the sound of a bullet passing through the air was heard. Morris leaned over to dodge, and the bullet flew past his scalp, which made him sweat coldly.

But the black radish was extremely fast, and it overtook Morris before entering the forest.

At this time, the sheriff's forehead was covered with sweat, and he simply threw away the rifle and reached for the pistol.

Just as he turned around and was about to slap the face of the lifeless Chinese behind him, his eyes froze.

A dagger cut through the air and flew straight towards him. At the last second of his life, he saw the dagger reach the center of his forehead.

Morris fell off his horse like a sandbag.

"Oh, ten rings!" Chen Jianqiu patted his horse and passed by, he had no time to care about the corpse, but went straight forward to chase the lieutenant.

The murderer must pay in blood.

If at the beginning Chen Jianqiu just wanted to avenge Asuka and let him serve him wholeheartedly, then everything the lieutenant did later made him decide to put an end to this demon no matter what.

The battle between him and Morris just now wasted a little time, and he must catch up as soon as possible.

He chased forward along the mountain road in the forest.
