Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 132 Billy Kid Gang

   Around three o'clock in the afternoon

The calm town suddenly became noisy. A dozen armed militiamen rushed into the town on fast horses. The horseshoes rolled up the smoke and dust on the road, attracting the attention of the merchants along the street. Many people drew their pistols from the drawers and under the vegetable baskets. , Looked at the armed militias with a vigilant look.

   "Brothers, guys, the Billy Kid gang started killing people in the south. A nomadic spot was attacked by gangsters. 11 people were killed and many others were injured. Everyone took up weapons and prepared to fight with them."

The leading armed militia screamed and rushed across the street on horseback, turning over and dismounting at the crossroads of the small town. The small town police station had several RCMP standing under the eaves of the corridor, holding a revolver on his waist with one hand. Set, carrying a lance in the other hand.

   "Wu Dabao, shut up, this is my site. It is not your turn to give orders and tell me what happened?"

   "Sergeant Yan, Billy Boy's gang has been hacked, let's quickly organize the manpower..."

   "It's okay, when is it your turn to command me and shut up." The lead Sheriff Yan interrupted him and said to the man in the town who was surrounded by guns in his hands;

   "Guys, this wasteland is full of wild wolves and murderous bandits. We must pick up guns to protect ourselves, but not brutally. First of all, we must protect the town instead of being attacked by gangsters.

  As far as I know, Lord Earl has issued an order to deploy Leopard Cavalry to encircle and suppress these vicious bandits. We just need to cooperate.

  So you follow the scheduled organization, go to your own militia team to report, patrol or guard, do whatever you arrange.

  Remember, you are all militia-trained people. When you approach the enemy, you don’t listen to orders. I don’t need me to say more about it. Let’s all break up. "

  The words of Officer Yan dispersed all the gathered men. The police reported that there were forty or fifty militiamen with guns, all of whom had their own horses.

  Strict police officer divided the work briefly and divided these militiamen into two teams. He led one militiamen to patrol far away from the town, and the other militiamen, led by other Royal Mounted Police, patrolled and guarded the vicinity of Songjiang Town.

  Not too long

  Several carriages dragged the dead and injured herders to Songjiang Town. The blood stains on their bodies had turned dark brown, and the carriages smelled of blood.

  The miserable scenes of these people aroused great indignation among the people in the small town, and they cursed the "Billy Kid" gang who had acted cruelly and inhumanly.

  Through the window

  Li Fushou saw the short-term riots in the small town, and soon calmed down. A group of 12 militiamen organized patrols on the street, some were responsible for guarding, some were responsible for watching, and merchants along the street closed their doors one after another.

  A prosperous commercial town, in a blink of an eye it became a heavily guarded military camp. The tavern and Fulinmen Hotel in the town became a gathering place for all the new news.

  Songjiang Town is like a hedgehog with open thorns, guarding itself vigilantly.

The Sergeant of the Royal Mounted Police, Li Fushou, naturally knew him. He was an old man of the original Dragoon. He had served as a team leader. After the Dragoon had served for three years, he was relieved of his duties and arranged to work in a small farming and animal husbandry town. RCMP Sheriff.

  A RCMP sheriff earns six pounds and 12 shillings a month, which is almost $33.6 a month. This is not counting other extra money. It is a middle class with a good income and a relatively high social status.

  If you kill the gangster offering rewards, rescue the civilians from danger, help recover the lost herd, etc., you can get the corresponding reward or thank you money, which is the legal income allowed.

  As for some gray income, it should not be for outsiders.

  Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf and Four Cavalry Guards will withdraw from a group of old people every year to add a batch of fresh blood to maintain a strong fighting capacity. Due to the late establishment of Leopard Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry, this process has not yet begun.

There are many situations like Sergeant Yan. They are the first established Dragon and Tiger Two Cavalry Guards who have received strict military training. Because the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry Guards are private guards, not the army, they are not considered retired, but are being retired. Placed in a proper post.

Some served as the Royal Mounted Police, some as the captain of the grazing point, some as the militia captain or instructor, some as the town tax officer, and some entered the state self-government office or the municipal government. Have a good and stable job.

  With the rapid expansion of the Red River Valley, there are more than 50 farming and animal husbandry towns dotted around, which does not include more new villages.

  Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf and Four Cavalry Guards all add up to only 1,600 people. They are scattered across the vast territory and even the shadows are invisible. A new round of expansion is imperative.

  Taihu Lakeside Pier

The large sleepers transported from Honghe Valley City were piled into mountains, and long railroad tracks transported by ships were neatly stacked. A large number of newly recruited road construction workers went to the railway not far from Songshan Town amid the shouts of the foreman. Construction site.

  It can be clearly seen through the telescope that a solid roadbed that traverses north and south has taken shape, and many workers are still busy in construction.

  The cinder-paved roadbed was rolled and compacted layer by layer by Jianma dragged a heavy stone, then it was paved with fly ash and repeatedly flattened and compacted, gravel and sleepers were paved, and finally railroad tracks were paved to form.

In the woods

Billy Clayburn put down the telescope in his hand, his ferocious eyes showed a hint of caution, his cheek was pierced by a bullet, leaving behind a large horrible scar, and his face looked a little distorted. More veritable than "Scarface" Eke.

   "Boss, are we going to get his vote? Mr. Smith paid 20,000 pounds to let us kill the Earl of Queensland." The gangsters around him looked brutal and impatient.

Billy Clayburn turned his head and looked at his men, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth; "Eber, you idiot, it is not such a way to die if you want to die. If you are willing to wait for us to leave, just let go. Just do it by hand."

   "You mean... want to leave?"

   "Yes, the Red River Valley is like a spider web. As long as you touch it a little, all other places will be on alert. I bet it won't be long before the elite cavalry will arrive, and you won't be able to run."

  "Damn, we only got 5,000 pounds from Mr. Smith, Billy, are you scared? Just rely on these cowardly yellow-skinned monkeys..."

"Shut up, the yellow-skinned monkeys you said killed the wolf Birken. It was a face-to-face cavalry battle without any tricks. The heads of the brothers piled up the noble titles of the Queensland Earl, and his hands were covered with brothers’ Blood." Billy Clayburn roared loudly, staring at Eber fiercely, and then looked at the other gangsters standing behind him;

"These yellow-skinned monkeys that you look down on make up the most powerful cavalry I have ever seen. Don’t use your stupid heads to measure your opponents, because this is far beyond your imagination. This is a real army. You **** idiots, bastards, lustful sex..."

"Billy, don't be angry, Eber is not trying to provoke you." Another tall and strong gangster came out to make a round; "We took Mr. Smith's money after all, okay, okay, I know you are in the wilderness The most outstanding hunter, we will listen to you what to do."

Billy Clayburn’s violently panting chest calmed down. He looked back at the busy construction site in the distance and said firmly; “Let Smith go to hell, let’s leave here and go back to the south, leaving the Red River Valley ranch. I have a very bad hunch that I may be too late if I don't leave."

   "Billy, we ran such a long way to come here, and we only took one vote and we ended up. Brothers didn't feel it was worth it, or we would just leave with two more votes."

   "No, leave now."

Billy Clayborn’s attitude is unquestionable, and a hint of caution flashed in his sly eyes, and said, "I know this ghost place is like a hunter’s trap. As long as you step on the mechanism, patrols from all directions will follow. Wrap us tightly inside like a spider web, and we can’t walk if we want to. We leave here and go to the south, where there are a lot of farmers and beautiful women."

  "Billy, look..." Accompanied by this short exclamation.

A line of elite cavalry lined up on the far road. They wore wide cowboy hats to block the hot South Wales sunshine. There was a shiny steel emblem in the center of the cowboy hat, which was a dragon hovering on the mountain. The emblem of the nobility represents the Queensland Earl’s family.

All the cavalry are wearing dark gray jerseys, with cross belts on their chests connected to a finger-wide belt, cavalry knives hung on the left side, revolver holsters on the right side, and a rod inserted in the front right side of the strong horse Glossy lance.

  A fierce leopard logo is embroidered on the battle flag fluttering in the wind. This is the famous leopard riding guard.

  A line of four cavalrymen stood side by side, forming a long riding queue, which exuded an awe-inspiring breath invisibly.

  The gangsters looked at each other with amazement. They are all cowboys who have lived on the horse for many years. Of course, they can see the unusualness of this team of elite cavalry.

  All the cavalry are one man and two horses. It seems that they have maintained a good distance and good speed while walking in a leisurely manner. At a glance, they know that both the man and the horse have received rigorous training.

  Move like a rabbit, quiet like a virgin.

  This kind of awe-inspiring gangsters are no strangers. They are murderous agglomerations that have seen blood. Obviously, there are many gangsters who have died in the hands of this team of elite cavalry.

  "Go, hurry up..."

  Billy Clayburn obviously didn't expect to come so quickly, this shock was extraordinary, and his face turned pale and walked toward the depths of the forest.

  He vowed that he would never come to this **** Red River Valley ranch for the rest of his life. It was so scary.

The militia of the    brigade’s encirclement and suppression is fine, and they dispatch elite cavalry to participate in it at every turn. That is a rhythm to death!
