America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 81 Spin, jump, and close your eyes.

The mounted policeman with the machine gun was excited, his adrenaline pumping as the number of shell casings fell.

He cranked the handle faster and faster, and the groom who reloaded could hardly keep up with his speed.

After another magazine was installed, the roar of the machine gun stopped abruptly after two seconds.

The speed of the hand-cranked Gatling barrel is not enough to shut down due to overheating, but it still has a problem, that is, it is easy to get stuck when turning.

Chen Jianqiu was betting on such an opportunity.

He climbed to the stairs where a piece had just been knocked off, looked out the window along the gaps in the steps and escalators, and sure enough, he saw the mounted policemen who were complaining and the groom who was busy repairing them.

"Bang, bang."

Two gunshots sounded, and the mounted policeman and the groom collapsed on the carriage, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

There was another round of "crackling" shooting from outside to the house, but without Gatling, the pressure suddenly became much less.

"Quick, come to the stairs!" Chen Jianqiu rushed down and shouted.

The first ones to appear in front of Chen Jianqiu were Danny and Teresa, who were closest to the stairs.

Danny's face was blackened by the smoke, and his huge body made the stairs creak. He stepped over the gap and went directly to the second floor.

"Are these guys going to demolish the building?" The sheriff's face was still swollen, he reached down and pulled his wife up.

Followed by Asuka, he supported Sean and ran towards the stairs while avoiding the bullets shot from behind.

Xiao En clutched his arms and climbed up, while Chen Jianqiu grabbed his shoulders with both hands and lifted him up.

Teresa asked Chen Jianqiu for a dagger, cut off Xiao En's sleeve, checked the wound,

"It's okay, it's just a scratch from a stray bullet,"

This is not the first time that the unlucky Sean has been wounded by a stray bullet. If the bullet had eyes, under the circumstances of this visibility, he should not be able to find black people, but it is a pity that the bullet does not have eyes.

Teresa did simple wound treatment for the black man, and Danny carried the gun for him.

Chen Jianqiu was originally worried that the two people from the Southern Army would throw Sean out of the window, but it seemed that Danny and his wife didn't have any special views on black people.

Asuka also went up to the second floor. They were just about to turn around and leave when a voice came from below the stairs:

"Wait, there's us!"

It was only then that Chen Jianqiu remembered that there were two bounty hunters downstairs.

He picked up the lever rifle in his hand, ready to finish the two men.

But when he saw Hanif's harmless comedian face at the corner of the stairs, he suddenly had an idea that these two people seemed to be useful.

The Gatling gun went off again, this time by Fultz himself.

The wooden staircase was shattered, and the whole staircase was about to fall down.

Hanif, who was hanging in mid-air, was a little embarrassed because he saw Chen Jianqiu appearing at the stairs, but with a gun in his hand.

To be swept to death by Gatling, or to be headshot by Winchester, this is the question.

However, Chen Jianqiu smiled at him, turned the direction of the muzzle of the gun, and handed over the butt of the gun.

"Come up quickly."

Hanif froze for a moment, then stretched out his hand and grabbed the butt of the gun, he jumped forward from the cut, Chen Jianqiu grabbed his other hand steadily, and dragged him up.

Downey was dragged up in the same way as Hanif, and the two of them sat down on the floor.

"Don't think that if you saved us, we will let you go." Downey expressed his attitude to Chen Jianqiu on behalf of his panting master.

Chen Jianqiu smiled again, turned around, and ignored them.

"What should we do next?" Asuka asked Chen Jianqiu, Chen Jianqiu looked around and found that everyone was looking at him.

"Let's see if there are other exits."

Everyone began to disperse on the second floor looking for an exit. Chen Jianqiu walked to the window of the third room and began to observe the surrounding terrain of the hotel.

Their horses were at the back of the hotel, and they could go straight down from the second-floor windows, but it was a dead end, and eventually they had to go around the front of the hotel to get out.

But now the gate of the hotel is full of Mounted Police and Clark's people.

"Boss, there is a skylight in the corridor, and there is a ladder leading to the roof below." Asuka hurried into the room and reported to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu thought about it for a while, and then told Asuka and Danny: "You take Sean and Holmes down to the back of the hotel through the window, untie the horses, and then listen to the movement in front of the hotel. Pull away, when the time comes, you guys will come out with the horses, and we will find another chance to meet up again."

Then, he turned around and waved to the rest of the people:

"Come on, let's go to the roof."

Downey glanced at Hanif: "Boss, do we listen to him?"

Hanif rolled his eyes: "What else?"

Everyone split up and Chen Jianqiu went up to the roof first. He found a good news and a bad news.

The good news is that the houses here are relatively close to each other. As long as they are not disabled, jumping from one roof to another should not be a big problem. The bad news is that this is a mountainous area in Colorado, with heavy snow all year round, so the roofs are basically sloping , stepping on it is not only noisy, but also easy to fall if you are not careful.

But Chen Jianqiu can't control so much now, he quickly walked to the position next to the street, squatted under the parapet, carefully observing the situation below.

The people below are still shooting into the hotel intermittently. It seems that the ambush in front of the bear cave last time had a great impact on Fultz. If the building in front of him is not demolished, the mounted police will not step in. .

Chen Jianqiu set up the gun, ready to give this group of people a "gift".

He locked Clark and Fultz first.

But an accident happened. When Downey approached, he accidentally stepped on a loose tile.

"They're on the roof!"

A sharp-eyed mounted policeman shouted.

Before Fultz's Gatling could turn around, the others had their guns aimed at the roof.

Chen Jianqiu's gun rang immediately.

Clark fell off the horse on his back, lying on the ground with his arms outstretched.

And so he died, with all his ambition and delusions, on the streets of Pitkin.

Chen Jianqiu pulled the lever, intending to fire a second shot to kill Fultz directly, but the bullet had already flown up.

He had to end the lock and ran inward.

Facts proved that his choice was correct, because a few seconds later, with the roar of Gatling, the parapet also became a thing of the past, turning into pieces of broken wood.

"withdraw!"

Chen Jianqiu put his gun on his back, took out his revolver, and jumped towards the roof of another house.

He tried his best to stay in the blind spot of the shooting angle downstairs, so as not to expose his body or head to the opposite gun.

"Chasing!" Fultz roared, and he also became excited.

His second-in-shooter was replaced by the soldier who had rescued him from the forest and was now his second-in-command; another mounted policeman acted as his groom.

The groom raised his whip, and the carriage chased along the street in the direction where Chen Jianqiu was escaping, while Fultz lifted Gatlin and swept at Chen Jianqiu and the others who were looming on the roof.

Roof sawdust and rubble flew, and bullets flew past Chen Jianqiu's feet from time to time.

"Damn it, this man is crazy!" A bullet hit Hanif's heel, shattering a piece of wooden roof, and the pieces of wood flew towards his eyes, and he couldn't help jumping up , raising his arms to cover his face.

In the eyes of the mounted police, the people on the roof were beaten like monkeys by Gatling.

Spin, jump, keep your eyes closed.
