America 1881: Legend of the West

Chapter 165 Reinforcements enter the game

Pinkerton detectives are cautious.

Compared with the reckless gangsters Chen Jianqiu encountered along the way, they all knew who they were facing.

According to their survey:

This man killed a U.S. Army cavalry lieutenant, a Mounted Police captain, and led a small team to eliminate several Western gangsters; a man single-handedly wielded two knives and slashed from the south to the north in Chinatown. Cut from the north of the street to the south of the street; in addition, this person is also related to many bombings, arson cases, and murders...

In the words of their hook-nosed boss, Lynch, the reason this man's bounty was only six hundred dollars was because there were at least two to three thousand dollars recorded on other people.

According to their intelligence, this man has extremely strong melee combat abilities and mediocre marksmanship.

But just now, their boss ran out of the shadows with a gloomy look.

Although they were used to Lin Qi's sinister face, this was the first time they saw him in such a miserable state.

"The old cowboy is dead," Lynch said.

Everyone was shocked. Although they never knew where the old cowboy came from, judging from Lynch's attitude towards him, he was by no means an ordinary person.

"This man is very dangerous. You must keep your distance from him. He only has a revolver in his hand now. He must be killed here." Lynch ordered.

Lin Qi walked under the moon alone and fell into deep thought.

He had countless opportunities to kill this person before, but he always felt that only this person could find the location of the final treasure.

In order to be able to find the treasure, and because he had a trump card to hide the bottom of the box, he and his team were let go again and again.

But as the tracking deepened, he found things more and more difficult.

This Chinese man went from not knowing how to use a gun to being as good at playing drums as himself in just a few months. Without that person's guidance, it would have been completely impossible.

Lynch felt cheated.

He now had to take countermeasures before the situation got out of hand.

Pinkerton's detectives obeyed Lynch's instructions and controlled the distance from Chen Jianqiu. They kept shooting at the cart to suppress it.

Chen Jianqiu tried to counterattack, but the detectives' shooting firepower was strong enough and staggered enough.

The flatbed truck and its cargo received the most severe beatings, with flying wood chips and bullet-torn items and their wrapping paper everywhere.

Holmes' box of cigars, the item closest to the driver's seat, was the first to be destroyed.

A bullet knocked off the wooden outer hoop of the wheel axle, the wheel rolled out, and the carriage was overwhelmed and finally collapsed.

The items in the car were scattered all over the floor, and the Winchester repeating rifle fell further away from Chen Jianqiu.

He quickly moved to the corner with the widest spread of the car.

He was ready to change cover or even run away.

However, several bullets landed around the wreckage of the carriage, stirring up clouds of dust.

The detectives' shots covered all the lines around him.

If this continues, the wreckage of the carriage will be smashed sooner or later, and the stray bullets alone will be enough for him to drink a pot.

Suddenly, a familiar gunshot came from a distance.

The gunshot was different from all the repeating rifles present, but came from some kind of large-caliber single-shot rifle.

A scream.

"Watch out! There's a sniper!" The firing from the repeating rifles on the opposite side suddenly stopped, and Pinkerton's detectives seemed to have been attacked.

Chen Jianqiu looked in their direction.

A tragically dead body of Detective Pinkerton lay under the moonlight.

The half of his body where he was shot was covered in blood and flesh, and it seemed that the tissues of his body had been torn apart by the large-caliber bullet when he was shot.

Chen Jianqiu had seen this type of large-caliber rifle, Sharps 1874.

That thing was made for hunting buffalo!

While Pinkerton's detectives were still looking around for the sniper's location, another shot rang out.

This time the scene was even more tragic. A person's entire arm was removed directly. The impactful scene shocked the scene far more than the killing itself.

Chen Jianqiu had already discovered the source of the gunfire. In the dark night, he saw a woman standing on the church bell tower from a distance, shooting at Pinkerton detectives.

If not Camilla, who could it be?

After Camilla sniped and killed the third Pinkerton detective, she quickly changed her sniping position to a roof ridge next to the clock tower with her large-caliber rifle.

The Pinkerton detectives, who finally discovered the sniper's location based on the sound of gunfire, raised their guns and fired at the clock tower.

The chaotic bullets made the bell jingle, as if it was beating some strange music, which looked particularly weird in the dark night.

But that doesn't stop their members from being sniped, each shot more brutal than the last.

Chen Jianqiu was just about to pick up his Winchester while the opponent was in a state of panic.

However, for some unknown reason, the gun suddenly floated from the ground into the air.

Chen Jianqiu thought he was dazzled. He was just about to start shooting to see what happened.

A white "crescent" appeared next to the gun, followed by a pair of eyes.

"Boss, take the gun!" Sean threw the gun over with a smile.

Chen Jianqiu also smiled. He gave Sean a thumbs up, and then cursed: "Can you please stop showing off on the battlefield and instead help me get the bullets?"

When Sean heard this, he quickly ran over with the bullet and handed it to Chen Jianqiu's hand.

"Hanif is on the other side of the courtyard wall. He will probably get into trouble with the people over there soon."

Chen Jianqiu poured bullets into the magazine of the repeating rifle.

He rushed out from behind the carriage and ran toward the courtyard wall, shooting at the Pinkerton detectives to the east as he ran.

By the time he returned to the courtyard wall, the thirteen bullets in the gun had been emptied.

"What's wrong! He's got a repeating rifle!" Someone among Pinkerton's detectives suddenly shouted.

They were already being tortured unspeakably.

There was a sniper mounted on the top of Tianling Gai, and directly opposite there was a semi-automatic repeating rifle.

There were already a bunch of corpses lying on the ground on his side, each one more miserable than the last.

Their Pinkerton team, led by Lynch, has never suffered such a big setback since their debut.

But they are still well trained.

They retreated in an organized manner, hiding in the blind spot of the sniper rifle's field of vision, and then blocked Chen Jianqiu's path.

As a result, the detectives on the west side began to have bad luck.

If the people in the east can't be attacked, then attack the people in the west.

Chen Jianqiu, Hanif, and Sean turned their guns and fired at the Pinkerton detectives who could see them.

Hanif has never had such a fun night battle. He just needs to follow Chen Jianqiu and that's it.

The place where he took his hiding place was a blind spot for most of the guns on the opposite side.

No matter which direction he shoots his gun, he will basically knock down a person, and there is no need to reload the gun.

"Chen, it's so dark, you can't really see the opposite side, can you?"

Hanif was a little stunned, combined with his agility and elusive whereabouts, plus what he had been thinking all along.

He expressed the doubts he had hidden in his heart for months,

"You have vampire blood, right?"

"Well, that's right." Chen Jianqiu replied while firing, "Asuka, that Indian is a werewolf, he just followed me, Sean? Sean is a zombie."

"Zombies? What are zombies?"

Hanif didn't know what the word "zombie" meant, but he couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a moment. It was a bit outrageous that a werewolf could serve as a vampire's subordinate.

"Are you talking about me?" Sean suddenly heard someone saying his name.

He turned his head and grinned at Hanif, which made Hanif sweat break out from behind.

After the three people joined the battle, Chen Jianqiu felt a lot less pressure.

But they still couldn't go any further. Pinkerton's detectives had now basically found the location to avoid the church's sniper rifle.

Relying on the favorable terrain, they blocked the advance and retreat routes of Chen Jianqiu and the others.

No matter how good they are at fighting, they will eventually run out of bullets, and they are ready to continue fighting.

"It's okay, Chen. I asked Holmes and the others to notify Geronimo." Hanif said, "Anyway, the county sheriff is already surrounded by the police station. It doesn't matter whether he is exposed or not."

"Then they probably won't arrive until dawn," Chen Jianqiu said, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Hanif didn't know why. He turned his head and saw Chen Jianqiu looking in the direction of the wilderness.

"Unless they leave early!"

Where Chen Jianqiu looked, there were formations of horse hooves.
