Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 245 The Spectacular Gallows

   "Catch up... don't let that kid run away." Seeing the other person injured and fleeing, the headed bandit with a beard became more rampant, waving the spear in his hand and shouting.

  At this time, the strength of the two sides is 5:1, and the horses of the prey are obviously out of force. The situation is very favorable for the horse bandits.

  After all, Zhao Qishan set off from the grazing point at four in the morning and traveled a long distance to Linyi Town. The horses under him were unable to fully regain their physical strength for less than three hours before and after a rest.

  After more than half an hour of fierce chase, the horse has begun to foam at the mouth.

  The two horse bandits immediately yelled and rushed to catch up. When passing by Zhao Moqi Mountain, they made a big circle. They were far away from him, obviously they were extremely scrupulous about his precise marksmanship.

  The horse bandits are not stupid, knowing that the injured person can't run far, they must stop and wrap their wounds, otherwise they will be drained by bleeding.

  Zhao Qishan dignified and rode his horse forward to intercept. If these two gangsters were let go, Ma Limin would definitely be dead or alive.

  The horse under the seat was panting heavily, and all the white foam exhaled from the nose and mouth during the run. It has reached the limit of physical strength and may fall dead at any time.

  At this moment, Zhao Qishan's heart is extremely anxious, and his eyes frequently look backwards. There is no other person in the wilderness except the screaming gangsters. Where are the **** mounted policemen going?

  He didn't just run away blindly, but went around the circle to hide and seek with the horse bandits, and fought and retreated.

  For such a long time, the RCMP has crawled, not to mention the crisp gunfire spreading far away in the wilderness, how could it not be heard?

But now I don’t have time to think about it. He gently patted the temple to slow down, turning the horse from a mad run into a small pace, and then quickly stood up in the saddle, aiming steadily with the rifle in his hand and wanted to ride the horse around. The two gangsters from the past.

  The two gangsters screamed when they saw them, and leaned down on their horses. The three gangsters who were chasing them hurriedly picked up their guns and shot them.

  In this staggered moment

  Zhao Qishan took his breath and took aim. He had already forgotten everything in his mind. The front sight of the rifle caught the front side of the enemy horse about half a foot, and moved along with the running horse, and then steadily pulled the trigger.

   "Plack" a crisp gunshot

The hot bullet drew an invisible arc and penetrated into the lower part of the war horse's neck. The blood immediately shot out like a fountain, and the blood pumped out by the heart of the fast galloping war horse flew far away, and the front hooves were soft. He fell on the grass.

  The huge inertia could not be restrained. The gangster who was tightly leaning on the horse had not had time to get out of the stirrup, and had been crushed by the tumbling war horse for several laps.

  The precise shot 450 meters away scared the other gangster to death. He immediately turned his horse's head and fled back. He didn't dare to chase the injured Ma Limin alone.

  These two guys are hard stubborn, who knows what to do?

  Zhao Qishan put down his rifle and was about to speed up on his horse to leave. Suddenly he felt a pain in his leg, and his horse fell to the ground with a mournful cry.

  At this dangerous moment, he pressed the saddle forcefully with one hand, and when he fell on the grass, he threw away the rifle in his hand, a beautiful forward roll out of the danger.

  Fortunately, before sitting down on the horse, I only ran at small steps, and fell on the grass and only turned around in a circle before stopping.

Zhao Qishan scrambled to pick up the rifle on the ground, endure the pain in the leg, and rolled over and came to the corpse of the war horse. He moved quickly out of the shell, loaded with new bullets, and put the muzzle on the horse's body. Ready to shoot.

  This series of actions are done skillfully and beautifully. It is obvious that the skill of a Dragoon Guard veteran is not inferior to that of the past half a point.

  At this moment, the three gangsters who were chasing closely from behind rushed on horseback, and the distance was close to 100 meters. The muzzle facing the black hole was scattered and fleeing like a bomb nest, and no one dared to face it directly.

   "A group of real cowards, the hard-pitch has been hurt, what are you afraid of him? Go up to me to kill him." The bearded bandit was arrogant.

  But he only thunders, not rain, and he does not dare to push too close, just blindly urging other horse bandits to go up and do cannon fodder.

  This hard point is too powerful. He has already folded 5 people in his hand, and killed three and seriously injured two. No one wants to be the next dead soul under the gun.

  Although Zhao Qishan is injured and has no war horse, but lying behind the war horse carcass, he can fight more accurately. It may be difficult to attack without losing two lives.

  The other horse bandits are not stupid. They said that they were anxious and directly aimed their guns at the bandit leader, meaning it was obvious; if you were so mad, they would kill you with a single shot.

  Everyone joins forces to do this costless business, but temporarily recommends you to be the leader, and you really think of yourself as a green onion. Who would take you as a dipping sauce?

  It’s not a good bird to do this kind of murder, the worse it becomes. When there is a gun in the hands of a horse under the crotch, the original sinful thoughts in many people's hearts are infinitely magnified, and they finally embark on the path of no return.

  In any society, there are good people and bad people. The same is true for a large number of immigrant groups. This has nothing to do with the nation-state, but the greed and kindness in the deepest part of human nature.

  Taking the opportunity of the gangsters to be surprised, Zhao Qishan took the time to check the injury, and couldn't help but slam the tooth Huazi and feel a headache.

  The shot was hit in the calf, punched through the calf and into the belly of the horse.

  The bone was not hurt, but it passed through the part of the calf close to the bone, both sides were transparent, and the blood gurgled out, it was really painful and trembling.

  He gritted his teeth and took off his belt, and tightened the upper part of his calf according to the first aid method taught by the army, and the blood flowing out was reduced visible to the naked eye.

   Then took out the hip flask in his arms and gave himself a sip first, placing one hand on top of the wound with a trembling hand, and then the heart fell down as soon as he closed his eyes.

   "Oh... I **** your grandma..."

  Zhao Qishan almost fainted immediately in pain, and hurriedly covered the sterilized wound with the wound medicine, and wrapped it tightly with a clean bandage.

  These wound medicines and bandages are necessary for the cowboys to travel in the wild, and now they are really in handy.

  He already felt that his vision began to blur for a while, holding up the gun and confronting the horse bandit with a strong spirit, and would never give up until the end.

  On one side was Zhao Qishan, who was injured lying behind the corpse of the horse, and on the other side were 4 brutal bandits. The bandits had a clear advantage.

  A few horse bandits discussed it and quickly reached an agreement that everyone should go together.

  The target when riding on the horse was too big, which was tantamount to a live target, so they rolled over and dismounted, tied their horses to a small tree in the wild, and then attacked on foot with their guns.

  Temian, is it the last moment?

  Zhao Qishan moved his body a little unwillingly. He could deeply feel the weakness of his body, and his hands holding the gun trembled uncontrollably. This was not timidity, but weakness caused by excessive bleeding.

  You don’t need the enemy to attack, and soon you will faint due to excessive blood loss.

At this moment, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, the enthusiastic life of Dragoon Guards, the admirable Earl of Queensland, the prosperous Red River Valley City, all of which passed in an instant in his mind, and the last memory stayed in the gentle Susan and The daughter can no longer move half a point.

  At the last moment of his life, he wanted to be with his wife and daughter, never to be separated.

At this moment, Zhao Qishan's eyes saw a dozen vague figures galloping on the distant hills. He opened his eyes laboriously to see clearly, but his head suddenly became dizzy, and his eyes fainted as soon as he went black. .

I do not know how long it has been

  When Zhao Qishan woke up again and found herself lying on the warm and soft bed, his wife Susan sat next to her with a haggard face, hugging Zhao Qishan's head with her hands, for fear that she would lose her husband if she let go.

When she saw Zhao Qishan wake up, Susan was so surprised that she wanted to open her mouth to call him, and suddenly she closed her mouth tightly, big and big tears gushing out, freely and horizontally on her white cheeks, dripping on Zhao Qishan. The face is still warm.

   "My okay wife, your man has always been a good man."

   "Woo woo... I know my dear, you are the best!" Susan couldn't control the strong emotions in her heart at this moment, and she covered her mouth tightly with her white hands and whimpered.

  It was only a short moment of separation, almost separated from everyone.

   Whenever she thinks of this, Susan's whole body will tremble uncontrollably, and a huge fear grips her heart tightly. She knows that she is not as brave as she imagined and cannot bear the serious consequences of losing her husband.

  "It’s okay, don’t cry my wife, don’t you think I’m okay? After the injury, I’m a good guy who is alive and kicking, oh, by the way, how about Weimin brother?"

   "Woo... he... he's okay... woohoo..."

Uh……

Even though his personality is as strong as Zhao Qishan, his eyes are sour in front of his wife's Rao Zhirou, he concealed his turn to look; "Since Weimin brother is okay, why don't you come to see me? Put a cover, otherwise this old boy's grave head will be more than a foot tall."

"Who's grave is more than a foot high, can you expect me to order it?" The door was pushed open. Old Mike, with a bandaged horse on his shoulder, for the people, Mounted Police Wu Shanshan and others rushed in and immediately This small room is overcrowded.

   "I can tell you Brother Qishan, you passed out but missed a good show for a while." Ma Weimin looked in good spirits, and his voice was still loud.

   "What a good show?" Zhao Qishan was a little inexplicable.

"It's just outside the window, see for yourself, come... I will help you sit up." Ma Weimin said, he helped Zhao Qishan up, and Shu Shan next to him stretched out her hand distressedly and dropped down weakly. , She was already powerless to complain about these bad masters.

  Looking out along the window, the row of 11 gallows is spectacular. On each gallows hangs a vicious horse bandit, swaying back and forth with the breeze in the town.

  Whether it is a horse bandit who has been shot to death or crushed to death by a horse, he has to go to the gallows again to show his fright.

   "Ha ha ha... It's a **** magnificence!" Zhao Qishan didn't need to hide his emotions.

  These 11 people are not all wicked people. When they first came to Australia, they also wanted to use their own hands to fight for a better future. They just didn’t hold back a trace of greed in their hearts, and finally embarked on this path of no return.

  The love is forgiven, and the sin is unforgivable, which is truly pleasing.

Old Mike came up and patted Zhao Qishan on the shoulder and said, "Take care of my good son-in-law, you can't be without you, a good gunman, on the way to Qingdao town. We still have a long way to go. ."

   "Don't worry, Papa Mike, as long as I have some spirits, I will recover quickly."

   "Hahahaha...You are Susan's person now, I can't be the master, everyone ask me to bring you a message, they miss you very much."

"Well, I miss them too." Zhao Qishan showed a warm expression on his face, gently holding Susan's hand and said; When you are together, death is not terrible."

"My dear, I..." Susan couldn't help it anymore, and leaned on Zhao Qishan's broad chest and wept bitterly. Her two hands hugged Zhao Qishan tightly, holding so hard and so tightly, almost never Leave a little gap.

  Looking at this tender scene, Ma Limin couldn't help rolling his eyes:

  Women, it’s this trouble, crying endlessly, making the men feel uncomfortable.
