America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 18 You Sing, I Come On

Uinta Mountain in summer is extremely beautiful, with lush greenery under the snow line. In the second half of the 19th century, this place has not been affected by too many human activities. The owners here are still various animals. Except for occasional pedestrians, very few Mountain people who live alone, you can hardly find traces of human beings here.

But today there were five guests on horseback, four of them were dressed as soldiers, and each of the three soldiers carried an Enfield rifle on their backs. The officer in front of them did not hold a long gun, but his A six-shot revolver was slung around his waist.

Except for the officer, two of the three soldiers had relaxed expressions, as if they were here to visit the mountains and rivers.

Because they knew that there was almost an entire cavalry company not far behind them.

The officer's gloomy complexion stemmed from his son who was still in the hands of others.

The remaining soldier was very unhappy.

He looked at the Chinese sitting in his arms with disgust, feeling as uncomfortable as eating shit.

At the time of departure, under the strong request of the adjutant, Chen Jianqiu's hands were finally tied up with ropes, but there was a disagreement on which horse to ride.

At first they planned to tie the man on top of the horse, but no matter how they were tied, the man would always fall down after the horse took two steps, either falling to the ground or hanging behind the horse.

Then they heard the earth-shattering curses from the Chinese.

"You fuckers, I ran here by myself to express my sincerity, so you treat me like this? You closed the iron cage and then tied up and fell to the ground. Believe it or not, my brother will slap your son twice when he sees me like this later?"

In the end, they had no choice but to put Chen Jianqiu in front of one of the soldiers, and Chen Jianqiu was not polite, and directly sat in his arms.

The soldier had imagined countless times, the romantic scene of him and another person galloping through the western wilderness, but the person sitting in front of him should be a beautiful girl, a pretty widow, not the one I usually see. Circle of Chinese.

He reluctantly walked all the way, but this young man was very quiet, and he didn't say a word other than giving directions.

Soon, the group came to a mountain stream.

The terrain became a bit narrow, the mountain stream was about ten meters wide, and it was connected to the opposite side by a small natural stone bridge. The stone arch was very flat, but at most two horses could pass through it at the same time.

The lieutenant stopped his horse and began to survey the surrounding terrain.On both sides of the mountain road, there are higher rocks with dense vegetation.The mountain stream is not too deep, but it is by no means short, with a height difference of about seven or eight meters.If it is true that people and horses fall down, if you are lucky, you will be half disabled, and if you are unlucky, it is not impossible to fall to your death.

In his opinion, this is a good place to ambush.

"Why did you bring us to this kind of place? What the hell are you trying to do?" The lieutenant was a little alert and turned around to ask Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu shrugged: "I took this road when I came here, and I'm not familiar with this side, so what do you ask me to do?"

The lieutenant spat on the ground: "You and your friends better not play tricks. Otherwise, I swear in the name of God, you will pay the price."

Do you fucking believe in God?

Chen Jianqiu smiled, and he raised his tied hands: "I'm here to ask for money, so I can keep you safe. You not only added an extra guard, but also tied my hands. What do you think I can do?" ?”

The lieutenant asked a soldier to be on guard, and the other soldier crossed the bridge first, while himself and the horse Chen Jianqiu was sitting on crossed together.

He was very close to Chen Jianqiu, with his hand on the pistol at his waist, while the other soldiers watched their surroundings vigilantly.

Nothing happened.

"Are you ready for US dollars?" After a group of people crossed the bridge, Chen Jianqiu asked suddenly, "I really don't understand why you are so cautious."

"Don't worry, as long as my son is fine, I will give you what I promised you. When the time comes, you and your nigger brothers can just leave with the money." The lieutenant's expression returned to gloomy.

A few minutes later, the brigade led by the adjutant also arrived at the mountain stream.

The adjutant is usually more cautious than his boss, but now he is confident.

"Leave two guards, and the others form two columns, and cross the bridge sequentially." The adjutant issued an order.

The federal cavalry were well-trained, and the formation quickly changed, and the first two horses stepped onto the stone bridge.

Just as they were paying attention to maintaining the distance between the two sides and were about to pass by, they suddenly heard a loud noise.

"boom!"

A huge explosion occurred at the junction of the stone bridge, billowing thick smoke, and gravel splashed for a while, people turned their backs, and the two horses that opened the way fell directly into the mountain stream with the horse, and their life and death are unknown.

When the thick smoke dissipated, the stone bridge was on the other side, and a fracture of more than three meters appeared.

"Fuck, the explosives are still low." Xiao En, who was watching from the sidelines, rubbed his nose, feeling a little headache.

Although he is not a professional blaster, he also knows that two bundles of explosives will definitely not be able to deal with this natural stone bridge.
The attention of the entire barracks was in the big tent last night, so he removed all the explosives he could move, and even made a simple small trailer and hung it behind the horse.

He first brought the black radish to the location, and then rushed here non-stop, gouged holes, loaded explosives, arranged cables, and found some vegetation to cover the explosives when he was done.

I took a nap in the middle, and after waking up, I waited for a few hours, and finally waited for the passing lieutenant and Chen Jianqiu.

He lay prone in the bushes, dodging the lieutenants and soldiers looking around.Until the big troops came over, they found an opportunity to press the detonator.

But the effect in front of him is not ideal. The gap of more than three meters can be jumped by a horse. Isn't this a major event missed by the boss.

Now it depends on how much risk the people below are willing to take and how long they can delay them.

"Attack! Attack!" The adjutant tried his best to control his horse while giving an order, "Everyone dismount and back off! Watch out for both sides of the road and find cover!"

Sean was a little apprehensive, but the adjutant's reaction almost knocked him out of his wits.

A group of them looked in his direction, and their guns turned around.

"Fuck, it's over, I was discovered! I'm dead now." Sean was about to stand up and run away.

But it was too late, the sound of bullets piercing the air came, and Sean could only lay down on the ground, praying to the sky that the marksmanship on the opposite side was not as good.

Just as he was lying on his stomach ready to die, he gradually felt something was wrong.

Eh?It seems that the bullet floated a little high.

Judging from the path of the bullet fired below, it was obvious that it was not directed at him, but toward the back of him.

Sean quietly turned his head and looked back. Two people appeared about ten meters behind him. They leaned against a higher rock to avoid the bullets that were shot at them.

Sean recognized them. Aren't these two the gang of gunmen hired by Morris.

"Change the bullets, hurry up!" the adjutant shouted at the soldiers under him, "It really is Morris and the others who did it."

At the same time, Morris also heard the gunshots. He sent two scouts to cruise around Edward's cavalry, and he led five others to quietly follow behind the large army.
At this time, they heard gunshots in front of them, and everyone looked forward one after another.

What greeted them was a salvo.

"Get off the horse! Get off the horse! Fuck!" Morris, as expected of an old fritter who had participated in the Civil War, immediately reacted, and hid at the corner of the cliff with his group.

"I'm Maurice, stop the fight!" he yelled forward.

Hearing Morris' voice, the adjutant became even more angry.

"Brothers continue, don't stop, it's him!"

All of a sudden, there were gunshots in the mountain stream, and it was very lively.
