America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 300 The US-Mexico Border
"Juarez?" Chen Jianqiu heard that Holmes said that this city is not far from Roswell.
He turned around and started looking for the place on the map.

Soon, he found it.

But when he really saw the location of the city, he suddenly had a doubt.

"Does this city belong to the United States or Mexico?"

According to Holmes' map, the city is on the national border, at the junction of the three states of New Mexico, Texas, and Chihuahua, Mexico.

Inside the U.S. border, next to it, there is a dot named El Paso, which almost coincides with Juárez.

"Actually, these two cities were originally one city." Holmes stood up, walked to the edge of the map, pointed to the two almost overlapping dots, and said to Chen Jianqiu.

"After the U.S.-Mexico War, the original city was divided into two with the Rio Grande as the boundary." Holmes stuck his fingernails to the map, and traced the river along the border, so that Chen Jianqiu See more clearly.

"The south side of the river belongs to Mexico and is called Juarez; the north side of the river belongs to the United States of America and is called El Paso."

"These two cities, originally located on the Royal Inland Avenue of the Spanish Empire, were important hubs." Holmes began to popularize the history of the city.

"Royal Inland Avenue? What is it?" Chen Jianqiu felt that the name sounded quite lofty, but he didn't know what it meant.

"A trade route that is more than 2000 kilometers long, connecting Mexico City and Santa Fe." Holmes drew a line on the map like a game of Lianliankan.

Past trade routes?Isn't that the current smuggling route?

Looking at the "unique" geographical conditions, Chen Jianqiu could roughly guess what the security environment in this ghost place would be like.

The junction of the three states also means that the three parties don't care much about it. This kind of place is often the place where crime is most likely to breed.

"Let's go?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Camilla.

"Then let's go." Camilla stroked her hair back, then tied it back and tied it into a ponytail.

A few days later, the team to Juarez set off.

Because he didn't know the situation there, and he didn't know how Tiago was doing there, so Chen Jianqiu led the team himself.

This time, besides killing Tiago, he also had other purposes.

With him, apart from Asuka, who is familiar with the border situation, there are also Camilla, Holiday and Rabiot.

The three can speak Spanish, and they are also the best marksman of the three.

In addition, it was the twenty or so people in the Longxiang group and Li Sifu.

Under Chen Jianqiu's personal training, these people's abilities are far stronger than ordinary soldiers, and with their excellent equipment, their combat effectiveness is very impressive.

As long as thousands of regular troops don't come from Mexico, the problem shouldn't be a big deal.

Chen Jianqiu first walked all the way south to the border, and then went east along the border, heading straight to the territory of Texas.

"Boss, why don't we just head east to El Paso?"

On the border, Asuka followed behind Chen Jianqiu, asking the boss who was looking around in confusion.

Sticking to the border is what he usually does. If he wants to go to Juárez and follow the formal procedures, there is no need to be so troublesome.

"Asuka, where do you usually meet people who sneak over here?" Chen Jianqiu asked suddenly.

"Um, maybe a little further ahead, less than the state border of Texas." Asuka searched in his mind, looked around again, and replied.

"Oh? Why haven't I seen these people in Roswell?" Li Sifu blinked at Asuka.

"If you can see it, you will see it. This group of people has gone through untold hardships to cross the border, instead of going to places like Albuquerque and Santa Fe, crossing the desert, and running to Roswell to find you? "Holiday chuckled.

He has been traveling on the US-Mexico border, and has seen many smugglers. Every smuggling route is often covered with various skeletons.

"I can tell you, there is everything on this border, bad weather, wild animals and..."

Before he finished speaking, several gunshots suddenly came from afar.

Holiday shrugged: "It seems that I don't need to introduce it."

In the distance, on the other side of the border, there is a place with blurred vision and dust.

After a while, two carriages appeared in Chen Jianqiu's field of vision.

One of the two carriages carried people and the other carried goods, and each had a man driving the horses in the trailer.

And behind them, a dozen or so people followed closely.

These men rode on horses, held guns in their hands, and whistled while shooting at the two carriages.

The coachmen driving the carriage showed no fear. While driving the horses, they held guns and turned to shoot at the pursuers.

Neither side seemed to hit the other.

However, there was no ready-made road where they walked, and it was obvious that they were forced to leave their original direction by the hunted people.

There are all kinds of rubble in this desert, which is not friendly to carriages.

Suddenly, the wooden wheel of a carriage hit a stone, and the wheel was lifted high.

In an instant, the carriage lost its balance.

The groom who was driving obviously couldn't maintain his balance anymore, he flew out of the carriage and fell heavily to the ground.

The wheels flew out, and the goods on the carriage were scattered all over the place.

People turned on their backs, cars crashed and people died.

And the other carriage obviously could not escape the same fate.

"Asuka, are the smuggling behaviors you encounter in normal times so exciting?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Asuka.

Obviously, these people are not as simple as smuggling.

Asuka was still thinking about how to answer, but he saw Chen Jianqiu clamping the horse's belly, Hei Luobo raised its hooves, and rushed towards those who raised their guns in pursuit.

And Chen Jianqiu, who was immediately there, had already drawn out his repeating rifle.

Camilla waved her hand back.

"Assemble all, change formation, and meet the enemy!" Li Sifu gave an order.

The formation of Long Xiang's group changed, compact like a diamond, following closely behind Chen Jianqiu, rushing forward.

The Mexican bandits who were chasing them also quickly saw the situation on this side of the border.

They hesitated for a while whether to continue chasing.

Because they saw from a distance that each of these people was holding a bursting rifle in their hands.

Just when they were hesitating, the guns in the hands of Chen Jianqiu and others rang out.

The first round of gunfire fired, and five or six people were shot and fell off their horses.

Only then did the chasing Mexican bandits realize that they had encountered a hard stubble, and turned around and ran away.

However, Chen Jianqiu, who was in the first place, had already started to empty the magazine.

After a short period of pursuit, the Mexican bandits were wiped out, leaving no one alive.

Chen Jianqiu led the people back to the place where the pursuit started.

The other remaining carriage stood there, and the groom stared at them nervously.

The shaft of this carriage is broken.

And from the carriage of the carriage, a Mexican with a mustache walked out.
