A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 184
Today's Jerome La Torre has changed from his slovenly appearance in the past. He puts on an old military uniform that has been starched and turned white. Although he always tells his people to believe in their cause and to be firm, but really To launch a rebellion on such a scale, he never thought he could do it before today.

"Are you ready? George," La Torre said after checking the magazine and inserting the gun.

"Yes, Colonel," George replied.

He still called La Torre by his military rank.

"Let's go then!"

"Yes, Colonel."

Following the order, the mighty cavalry kicked up dust and headed towards Rhodes Town.

Catherine Bravest did not follow. After scattering the money and people, she returned to Bravest Manor alone.

Looking at the empty manor, Catherine said to herself:
"No one can take away what belongs to our Bravest family..."

……

Dutch led his men at the end of the team that was about to attack Rhodes Town. After Javier rode back from the front, he came to Dutch and said:
"Dutch, the leader of the Lemoyne Marauders is leading the team, and the family guards of the Brewster family are also there, but I didn't see Catherine Brewster."

Dutch nodded and said:
"Okay, get ready. Let them all be smarter and watch my signal later."

After learning that Catherine was not in the team, and that she had indeed left behind her family guards and weapons as promised to La Torre, Dutch knew that his chance had come. Although it took him a whole night, None of them found the so-called gold in Gray Manor.

But this does not mean that gold does not exist. At least Dutch told himself, this is just that the Gray family did not hide the gold at home. Unfortunately, they did not catch the Gray family patriarch, otherwise they could have questioned him. However, now that Catherine left alone, Dach saw a chance to get the gold from Brewster's house.

Dutch planned to find an opportunity to break away from the team and then go straight to Bravest Manor.

He has not forgotten Catherine's previous grudge against someone cheating him at Gray's Tavern. Similarly, although the Lindsey Waldford who punched him twice was not found in the Lemoyne team, Dutch still remembered it. Hold this grudge.

The whole team was marching very fast. Pedestrians along the way saw this large team from a distance and got out of the way in advance.

When La Torre swaggered to Rhodes Town with his troops, he was greeted only by closed houses and empty streets.

La Torre sat high on the horse, and he could feel the eyes watching in the dark. He did not let his men enter the town rashly, but came to the outside of the town and shouted:
"Listen, I'm Jerome Latorre, with my centaurs and shells..."

Unfortunately, before La Torre could finish his words, he was answered by a bullet fired from the darkness.

Seeing the dust raised by the bullets in front of his horse, La Torre changed his mind about persuading him to surrender. He slapped his horse back and decisively ordered his first echelon to attack. Soon, the entire Rhodes town fell into chaos. among.

The attacking Lemoyne raiders were armed with weapons and riding horses. They kept shouting, shooting, and burning. They showed that they wanted to destroy the town.

Looking at the Lemoyne Marauders who had launched an attack on the opposite side, Arthur was not in a hurry to come forward. Instead, he still led his men to ambush outside the town and continued to observe closely.

Now, Arthur has arranged police officers and manpower all over Rhodes Town. These people are all equipped with weapons and ammunition sent by the governor, and are quietly ambush in the house, ready to attack these Lemo at any time. The Marauder struck head-on.

All the townspeople who participated in the war to defend Rhodes Town understood that this was a life and death struggle, and only victory could protect their property and family.

After all, the reputation of the Lemoyne Raiders was so bad that no one believed they would target only the wealthy and government employees.

Every room where the manpower is hidden is still extremely quiet, with only the occasional gasping and the low-pitched commands of Aemon and the others.

The Lemoyne raiders who launched the attack have not yet reached the houses where men are ambushed.

And Arthur's order long ago was very clear, which was to wait, wait for the enemies to arrive, wait for them to launch an attack, and wait until the last moment to launch a counterattack.

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence. Some Lemoyne raiders used explosives to blow open the door of the house where Martin and his men were hiding. Martin and others ambushing here immediately launched a counterattack, using their weapons. Fired wildly outside the house.Caught off guard, the Lemoyne raiders who thought Rhodes Town's defense strength was no more than this paid a heavy price for their carelessness.

As time passed, several houses where Arthur's men were ambushed came into contact with the Lemoyne raiders.

As soon as the battle officially started, it became extremely fierce. The people on Arthur's side relied on their own strongholds and kept shooting at the enemies exposed on the street from behind the bunker, while the Lemoyne Marauders relied on their numbers. and superior firepower, launching attacks one after another.

For a moment, neither side had any intention of giving in. On the scene, gunshots continued to ring out and shrapnel flew.

"Colonel, our people have engaged in firefights with the troops ambushing the town. The situation is very good. Our people have successfully suppressed the enemy. It is only a matter of time before we break through those houses. So, should we now Send the rest of the people up too?" George said excitedly.

After listening to George's report, La Torre put down the telescope in front of him and said calmly:

"First get rid of those desperadoes and criminals, and remember to tell them that everything in the town will belong to them as long as they grab it."

George asked with some confusion:

"Colonel, isn't this giving them an advantage? We are still fighting, but we let them grab things first?"

"George, the current situation in Rhodes Town is much easier than I thought before. If there are only those who stick to the house now, then it won't be long before we can take Rhodes Town. As for what you said Yes, are you giving these people a bargain? Haha, if they have life flowers, it will be a bargain for them. Let them explore the road and help us see if there are any other ambushes."

George nodded and was about to inform him, but La Torre stopped him and said:
"Also, after you get rid of those people, immediately go and take the guards of the Bravest family to control the bank. No matter what, Rhodes Town is just our starting point. As long as there is news of our success, If word spreads, more dissatisfied people will soon join us with weapons, and we will use the money."

"Understood, Colonel."

Outside Rhodes Town, on the side of the Komasa River, Arthur was waiting for the opportunity with about a hundred soldiers supported by the governor. Hearing the sound of gunfire not far away, Sean beside Arthur had some Unable to hold his breath, he urged:
"Arthur, should we take action? I'm afraid if we delay it any longer... Charlie and Eamonn may not be able to hold on over there."

Arthur also knew that if they delayed it too long, their fake ambush to attract attention in the town might not last, but it wasn't time yet.

……

"Charlie! It's time. We should fight harder, otherwise we won't be able to lure them and press them all up." Eamon said as he took out a grenade from the weapon box and lit it and pointed it out of the house. Throw it away.

Accompanied by an explosion, although the attack of the Lemoyne marauders outside the house was temporarily repelled, the next wave will soon be organized again.

Charlie knew that Amon's words were right, he nodded, and after saying 'OK', he went straight to the roof. He pulled off a piece of sackcloth covering something, and there was a machine gun underneath. Good machine gun.

Charlie adjusted the muzzle of his gun and started shooting directly at the street.

With the sound of machine guns on Charlie's side, several other ambush points seemed to have received the signal, and they all used weapons that had not been used before. Under this powerful firepower offensive, the first wave entered Rhodes Town. The Lemoyne Raiders began to rout.

As for Latorre, who observed all this from a distance, he was not only not angry when he saw the attack of his own people was frustrated, but also laughed happily. It makes sense that the defensive power of the enemy must be at least this level.

Otherwise, how could they dare to stay and defend here?
Seeing that the true level of Rhodes Town's defense strength had been tested, although it was much stronger than what had been shown before, this really made La Torre put down his previous defense.

As for the defeat of the first wave of attacks, this was nothing in the eyes of La Torre, who had heavy weapons. The slightly stronger resistance was not much different from the almost defenseless appearance before.

"Everyone, attack!"

Therefore, under the command of La Torre's general attack, the artillery carriages and heavy machine guns began to be pushed forward. The Lemoyne troops behind, who had been impatient and wanted to fight this SF battle, shouted and rushed. To Rhodes Town.

At the same time, the desperadoes who had been dispersed long ago were not idle. After avoiding the main street where the fierce exchange of fire was taking place, they headed directly towards the residential area where there was no resistance.

The house that was set on fire, the old, weak, women and children who did not evacuate...
