A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 14 Convergence
At this time, the snow has not completely melted.

The train came to a slow stop on the tracks.

Hosea and Lenny were hiding nervously in the cab, while the engineer Nathan was explaining to the guard who came to inquire why the train had stopped.

Engineer Nathan assured him that the train would be able to regain power soon, and the guard had no doubts. He was just a person who was summoned to run errands and ask questions. He went back after getting a reply.

Although Nathan was scared to death, in general everything went smoothly and he successfully dispatched the guards and saved his own life.

After watching the guards walk away, Nathan suddenly lost all his strength and sat down on the ground.

At this time, Hosea put down the gun in his hand and comforted Nathan:
"Friend, you made a right decision. You will hide here for a while, lock the door, and don't come out no matter what happens outside. Do you understand?"

Nathan looked at his colleague lying on the ground, nodded vigorously, said nothing, and didn't want to ask anything.

Seeing how knowledgeable he was, Hosea asked:

"What's your name?"

"Nathan, Nathan Jones."

Hosea smiled warmly and said:
"Mr. Jones, don't be afraid, we are friends now."

Not long after, restless sounds came from the nearby carriage, and Hosea and Lenny could hear someone running towards the control room.

Looking through the window, the visitor looked very nervous. He shouted loudly outside before he came in:
"Get this damn train moving right now! We're in danger..."

Not finished yet.

Several shots were fired.

Lenny had neatly fired three shots at the target from the window, knocking the guard down to the ground.

Hosea confirmed the situation outside and said to Lanny after no one else came:
"It's time to help. It seems that the attention of the guards in the car has been attracted by Dutch and the others."

There was already loud gunfire in the car behind, but the gunfire from Lenny's side did not attract any extra attention.

Seeing Lenny nodding, his eyes kept staring at Nathan beside him.

Hosea understood what he meant and said to Nathan warmly:

"Look, none of this has anything to do with you. You are just an ordinary person, so would you rather be hit on the head like your companion and then lie here together, or would you rather be tied up?"

When Nathan heard the same thing as his companions, he started to shake his head. When he found out that he could still choose to be tied up, he immediately found a rope from somewhere nearby and handed it to Hosea.

In his opinion, he was already old and it was better not to be beaten if he could. The older-looking masked robber in front of him unexpectedly made people feel very reasonable.

Hosea handed the rope to Lenny and waited until Nathan was tied up.

The two of them checked the ammunition in their guns, and then cautiously moved towards the back of the car.

At this time, a new round of gunfire rang out from behind the carriage after a brief ceasefire. It sounded like the guards were having a fierce exchange of fire with Dutch and the others.

If we zoom out and look at it.

At present, no one on either side was actually injured. Most of the gunmen on the train were just fighting back with the intention of scaring off the gangsters, and were not willing to reveal their bodies and take aim carefully.

Because most of the gunmen did not realize that this was a planned robbery, the control room had already been controlled, and the train was not about to start soon.

Unfortunately, they misjudged Dutch and his gang as passing gangsters.

It just happened that the train broke down and stopped, so I came to fish with the current.

They had no idea how determined Dutch was to do this.

Past experience tells them that in this case, as long as they shoot to scare them away, everything will be over when the train restarts. At this time, with the train as a bunker, they are not very anxious to risk their lives to repel the gangsters.

Moreover, this train is a Conworth train, and there are more guards on the train than usual, so they are still very confident now.

"Boss, the guards on the other side are counterattacking very hard, and we can't get up." Bill shouted at Dutch behind a rock.

Although Bill was usually teased by everyone in the gang for his poor IQ, at this time, he knew not to call out his name.

Dutch on the side was aiming his gun at this time. A bold gunman tried to climb on the roof of the train to attack them. As soon as he appeared, Dutch immediately pulled the trigger and knocked him off the train with a clean shot. .

The confrontation continued, I don't know how long it will last.

Dutch was also a little anxious at this time. Although Hosea and Lenny successfully stopped the train, the location was not very good.

Most of the entire train's carriages were parked on an elevated track above a canyon. This resulted in the front carriages being too narrow on both sides to ride on, leaving only rows of space left for them to operate. The two carriages at the back of the car.

Among the two carriages, the door of Cornish's private carriage was closed and there was no window.

"Keep shooting and cover them, we still need to buy some time!"

For a moment, the scene was like this. Micah, Charles and others were riding horses back and forth on both sides of the train. Thanks to the height of the horses, they could shoot directly through the windows of the train.

I saw a guard who had just arrived from the front car and was shot by Micah as soon as he appeared.

After several guards fell down one after another, the other guards in the carriage no longer appeared, but just stood there with their backs to the bunker, holding on to their positions.

Several of the guards who became frightened obviously sensed that something was wrong with the situation and began to jump out of the car and run away.

Unfortunately, as soon as they jumped out of the carriage and didn't run very far, they were all chased by Micah on horseback and beaten to death one after another. …

When Arthur and Javier heard the sound of gunfire and came here along the railroad tracks.

The battle is over, and everyone in the Van der Linde gang is obviously more powerful than the guards in the car.

As Hosea and Lenny quickly eliminated several guards guarding key points from inside the carriage, Dutch and others outside the carriage finally successfully broke into the carriage and eliminated the remaining guards.

Now everyone is in front of the exclusive carriage in Cornwall, looking at the big iron box without windows. Some of them don't know what to do.

This section is Cornwall's exclusive carriage. The carriage has been bulletproofed. The entire carriage is covered with thick iron plates on all sides. Now that there are no explosives on hand, there is nothing that Dutch can do with it. The Cornish employees and guards hiding inside the carriage refused to open the door.

Arthur joins everyone.

Seeing that there was only Arthur but no Javier, Dutch said: "Arthur, come over to my side. Are you two okay? Where are the Javiers?"

Arthur stopped his horse aside and said:

"It's okay. Javier will be here in a moment. Since it's done here, let's grab our things and leave."

At this time, Arthur was still unaware of the situation and was ready to leave immediately after dealing with the aftermath.

Dutch said helplessly to Arthur:

"There are still people in the carriage behind who are resisting."

Dutch took out a cigar, lit it, and then led everyone to Cornwall's exclusive carriage. He stood outside and observed, and he shouted loudly toward the inside:

"You guys, what else are you going to do there? Listen to me, I don't want to kill any of you..."

"Yes, I want to kill you all, hahaha..." Bill continued in a low voice after listening to Dutch's words to persuade him to surrender, and several people around him chuckled.

Dutch glanced at Bill and continued to promise: "Believe me, I don't want to do this, but I can do it."

Under normal circumstances, carrots and sticks will have a good persuasive effect.

However, the Cornwall employees in the carriage still did not want to give up and shouted: "We work for Leviticus Cornwall!"

This kind of statement is definitely an effective threat in normal times. Think about it clearly, you don’t know who you are offending. This is what it means when translated.

But it depends on who you are talking to.

"Please! Guys, what are you thinking in your heads?" Dutch was obviously impatient. He motioned to everyone and prepared to shoot at the car.

"I'm counting down to five now, five..."

"We will never open the door!"

"Four!……"

"give up!"

"Three, two, one, it seems our friends in the carriage are deaf."

Dutch returned to the crowd. Everyone stood in a row and raised their guns. Dutch also raised his own gun and said:

"Come, let's wake them up."

As Dutch fired at the carriage, everyone followed suit. Unfortunately, except for a lot of sparks splashing on the carriage, no bullet could penetrate it.

Arthur only fired a symbolic shot, because it was obvious that everyone's bullets could not penetrate the deck.

Although Dutch just wanted to scare the brats inside, it seems that the effect is not good now.

The gunfire continued until the magazines were empty.

Considering that bullets also cost money, Arthur stopped everyone who was about to continue loading and shooting.

But the people in the carriage, seeing that the bullets could not do anything to them, shouted excitedly:

"We won't go out, and you can't come in!"

At this point, Arthur still had to take action, even if Arthur had not wanted to rob the train before.

And God is my witness, he had tried very hard to stop it. Apart from blowing Dutch's head off, he didn't know what else he could do.

Fortunately, he also guessed that things might eventually develop into what they are now.

So he himself thought of some coping methods in private.

Cornwall trains, grab them if you can!
But you must not carry this pot on your own!

Dutch was looking at Arthur suspiciously.

He didn't realize that Arthur just felt that continuing to shoot would be a waste of bullets, and thought that Arthur might want to give up.

Arthur turned back to the horse, took out two bundles of explosives from the bag, and returned to the carriage again.

He neatly stuck the explosives on the door and said:
"People inside, listen, I, Colm O'Drisco, promise you that after the door is blown open in a while, none of you will survive!"
