A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 12 The plan really can’t keep up with the changes

There are two flowers, one on each side.

At this time, Dutch was riding on his white Arabian horse, Earl.

The group is located high on a ridge next to a railway track, and can clearly observe the Odrisk gang below through telescopes. They have now prepared explosives to blow up the bridge.

Waiting for the target to arrive.

While observing with a telescope, Dutch repeated to the people behind him what needed to be paid attention to in this plan and the division of labor:

"According to the information we received from the O'Drisco Gang, the train will be coming from the north of the Great Valley."

"They plan to use explosives to stop the train after it crosses the border and enters Grizzli, which is not far ahead of us. There will be a lot of movement and nearby mounted police may be attracted."

After several days of early exploration, Dutch and the others found this higher-lying place.

Here you can have a panoramic view of the dynamics of the Odrisk Gang.

This can give them a good advantage.

"Charles, you are responsible for the lookout, mainly to see if there are any mounted police nearby."

As Dutch was making arrangements, he suddenly thought about Charles' injured hand before and asked again:
"By the way, how is your hand?"

Charles replied: "That's fine with me."

He had no problem with the arrangement of the lookout, and so did the hands.

Dutch continued:

"Very good. After the train is forced to stop, I'll kill the driver and engineer. I'll take the lead. Lenny and Bill, you two, go take down the front carriage and get rid of the guards."

"Daqi?" Hosea couldn't help but said after hearing Daqi's words.

This is not what was planned.

"Don't worry Hosea, the plan has not changed. It's just to prevent the idiots from the O'Drisco gang from having any accidents. Let's give them a little help... Micah and Hosea, the rest of you go directly to the back of the train. Then That's the target of this operation, Cornwall's private carriage is there, you wait until the idiots from the Odris gang fight the guards and then capture them all."

After listening to Dutch's arrangements, Micah couldn't help but said: "Hosea, you have to cheer up to act with me. Haha, this is a dangerous gunfight, and I don't have time to take care of you."

Facing Micah's teasing, Hosea asked, "What's your problem with being with me?"

"Of course not, I will behave well hahaha."

Micah laughed.

Seeing Micah like this, Hosea didn't argue with Dutch any more. Since Dutch had already made up his mind, what he had to consider now was how to prevent the process from going astray. He said to Micah:

"I hope you can stay calm for a while and don't go crazy. Our only enemy is the Odrisk Gang."

Micah obviously didn't think so and said, "You should just care about yourself."

In Micah's view, everyone who stands in front of him is his enemy. There is no need to just focus on the O'Drisco Gang. Anyone who hinders him from making money will be shot.

The verbal fight between the two was quickly stopped by Dutch.

"Okay, you two, just stay here. After the O'Drisik gang takes action, we have to act quickly. Now, is there anyone else who has something unclear?"

"It's all clear."

"No problem, boss."

"It's clear."

"After we finish this job, shall we go back to Blackwater Town to get the money?"

"Shut up, Micah, how many more times are you going to ask this question?"

Micah said without giving up: "That's a lot of money. You can't just throw it away for too long."

"We will only go back when I say we will go back. This topic is over."

After speaking, Dutch ignored him and continued to look at the target with the telescope in his hand.

At this moment, everyone was nervously waiting for the arrival of the train. The O'Drisco gang quietly looked at the direction of the tracks, while Dutch and the others quietly looked at the position of the O'Drisco gang below.

……

"Woo——————!"

Finally, the whistle of the train came from the distance, and the vibrations on the rails made Odrick, who was observing from the side, quickly send a signal to the people who were preparing to blast.The leader only intended to force the train to stop, not to blow it over. The train was too far away, which would make the guards on the train defensive. They would guard the train and wait for the mounted police to rescue them. Then the unexpected robbery would become a real deal. Attacking a difficult situation is not what they are good at.

Of course, it doesn't work if the train is too close, it will be too late to brake.

Those who were preparing to explode silently counted the time in their hearts.

The explosives were fixed under the rails, and the detonators were connected with leads. He planned to wait a little longer. After all, in the eyes of low-level gang members like them, a train derailment would be stronger. After all, the person rushing up with the gun barrel was not the only one. Myself.

Count down silently in my heart, three, two, one!

He pressed the detonator hard—

"???"

The expected explosion did not happen, and he quickly pressed the detonator again.

Still no response.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Looking into the telescope, a man who looked like a small leader of the Odrisk Gang was jumping around, and the fool who operated the detonator was pressing the detonator one after another, but the explosion did not happen. Dutch knew something was wrong.

The train has appeared in everyone's sight, and since the explosives did not explode, it will soon pass in front of everyone.

Dutch was really mad and cursed:
"I knew these bastards were useless trash. I really don't know where Colm found all this trash."

Although furious, Dach didn't want to just give up.

The train is passing in front of everyone.

Dutch didn't have any good ideas for a while.

"Dutch! Lenny and I jumped on the train and stopped it. You guys can catch up on horseback." As he said that, Hosea and Lenny got off their horses and ran quickly to the other side of the ridge.

The ridge they were on was right at the top of the tunnel the train was passing through, and it was theoretically possible to jump on the train at the other end and stop it.

Seeing that the last part of the train was about to leave completely, Lenny and Hosea jumped to the top of the carriage one by one.

Hosea landed firmly on it, while Lenny slid to the left after hitting the roof. When he was about to fall off the car, he grabbed the edge of the train with his hands and shouted:

"Help!"

Hosea quickly stood up and took Lenny's hand, saying, "It's okay, I'm holding you."

After exhausting all his strength, Hosea lifted Lenny up. The two tied the scarf around their faces again. Hosea said to Lenny:
"They don't seem to have noticed us. Be careful, let's reach forward to the cab to slow this thing down."

Lenny nodded and said: "Follow me, we have to be faster, otherwise they won't be able to catch up with us on horseback."

As he said that, he took out his revolver and started to get off the roof of the train. It would be faster to go through the carriage.

Hosea stopped him and said:
"Let's go up there and go directly to the control room. There's no need to hurt anyone."

Lenny nodded and agreed with Hosea's plan.

That's why Hosea took Lenny and not anyone else.

The two of them tried their best to move forward on the roof of the train as carefully as possible without attracting the attention of the people in the carriage.

Soon we arrived at the control room smoothly.

Before the driver could react, Lenny knocked him out with the handle of his gun.

When the engineer on the side realized something was wrong and was about to hit Lenny with the coal shovel in his hand, Hosea stepped in and pinned him in place with a single point of his gun.

Hosea threatened: "Calm down, there is no need to kill anyone."

Seeing the gun pointed at him and a ferocious little nigger in front of him, the white-skinned engineer was so frightened that he put down the shovel in his hand tremblingly and said:
"No matter what you are going to do, please, please don't hurt me, I still have a child."

Hosea could see that the engineer was frightened, so he tried to use a soothing tone and said:

"Listen, don't be afraid. As long as you obey and cooperate with us, we won't hurt you. We will stop the train soon. Someone will definitely come to ask about the situation in a while. You need to stop him and tell them that the train just had a minor accident. The situation, you are dealing with it, understand?"

The white-skinned engineer kept nodding, agreeing as long as he could survive.

"Okay, now pull the brakes off and stand by the door, I'll put a gun on you from behind, think about your baby, it should make you stronger, after all we don't want him gone Father."
