America 1881: Legend of the West

Couch took the lead with his "Seven Hundred Warriors" and bolted toward the North Carnedine River.

The grassland wind blew across his face, and hundreds of horses were racing.

Couch was so excited that he raised his riding crop and slapped his horse's butt hard.

"ya!"

"Kuch! Someone has fallen behind!" A follower beside him caught up and said to him, "Should we wait?"

"Ignore them, let them find a good place to occupy. Our goal is always the most fertile land!" Kuchi had no intention of slowing down.

A group of people rushed slowly and hurriedly, and finally after a few hours, they saw the outline of the North Carnedine River.

There is only one railway bridge over the river for trains to cross.

"Brothers, hurry! Our home is right in front of us, before the train comes! Let's rush over!" Kuchi raised his arms behind him excitedly.

But he stopped mid-sentence.

Because he found that something was wrong.

"Kutch, there seems to be someone on the other side of the river." The attendant behind him pointed to the other side and shouted.

There are indeed some shadows of people and horses there, looming like shadows.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Kuchi was a little reluctant to believe it.

He and his men were obviously the first ones to rush over, how could anyone arrive before him?

Couch stopped his horse on the river bank and looked across.

Not only are there people on the other side of the river, they are also driving boundary stakes along the river bank.

He took a cursory glance and saw that there weren't many people on the other side, at least not as many as the cowboys behind him, and there were only about a hundred or so people at most.

"Charge over! Drive them away!" Kuchi gave the order with a cold face.

"Okay! President! Let's see how I deal with them!" A cowboy with a scar on his face turned around the pier, led the cowboy behind him onto the bridge, and rushed towards the other side of the river.

Li Sifu on the other side of the river also noticed the arrival of people from the Colonists Association.

The opposite river bank was covered in darkness. After Couch gave the order, the cowboys on horseback poured into the railway bridge like flowing water.

Li Sifu was a little nervous, but not afraid at all.

He cupped his hand and brought it to his lips.

A sharp whistle sounded on the river bank.

"Assemble! Meet the enemy!"

Li Sifu threw away the mallet in his hand, got on his horse, drew his gun, and rushed towards the bridge.

"This place has been occupied! Please don't come close to our private property!" A Chinese cavalry loudly warned the other side.

"Ignore them, rush over, tear down their boundary posts, and kill anyone who dares to stop them!" Kuchi shouted loudly on the river bank.

He is not at all afraid of being accused of being arrogant.

Because he feels that he has the brute capital.

The bridge was not long for the cowboys on horseback.

After a while, they were about to cross the bridge.

The scarred cowboy who rushed at the front could already see the Chinese soldiers directly in front of him.

He took out his revolver and fired a shot into the sky.

"Get out of here! You yellow-skinned scum, this is not the place for you to settle down!" Scarface roared with a ferocious smile, "Look at the guns in our hands, they will put a few holes in your bodies, and then they will Blast you into scum!"

In his impression, these Chinese were useless even if they had guns. As long as he rushed over, they would drop their guns and run away.

However, he encountered a tough problem today.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Li Sifu, who had already arrived, fired first, and then the Chinese soldiers around him also pulled the triggers.

To save their dignity, they did not aim at the people on the horses, but at the horses in the front row.

Seven or eight horses were shot. They neighed and fell to the ground, or they knelt down and knocked the knights on their backs to the ground.

Although the railway bridge was not narrow, seven or eight horses fell to the ground at the same time, making the scene chaotic.

These cowboys spend their days battling cows and horses in the pasture. They are agile and can get up quickly after falling.

But Scarface didn't have such good luck.

He flew straight out, hit his head on the railway track, and fainted instantly.

The horse behind him couldn't stop and stepped on him with a hoof.

"Crack!"

Although I don’t know where I stepped on it, it was the sound of broken bones.

The bolt-action rifles in the hands of Li Sifu and the Chinese soldiers were not slow in firing.

With another volley, seven or eight more horses fell.

If it were on the plains, these cowboys on horseback might still have a chance to fight their way to the other side.

But they are on the bridge!

The horse behind bumped into the carcass of the horse in front and was tripped to the ground, and they became a roadblock for those behind.

There are no fences on both sides of the bridge.

For a moment, people on the bridge flipped over, and people and horses fell from both sides into the river like dumplings.

Fortunately, the bridge is not high and the river is not deep.

The bad thing is that the river is really not deep. In some places, there are even rocks exposed above the water.

Whether you die or live after falling down depends on whether you helped the old lady cross the road.

"Hurry up and save people! Stop rushing!" Someone shouted.

"Turn around! Turn around!" someone shouted, "Don't be so crowded! You're going to fall!"

When it comes to charging, the most fearful thing is to give up halfway. There is no reason for a horse to stop when it starts running.

There was a mess on the bridge. The people in front led their horses in circles, firing back symbolically in the direction of Li Sifu and others.

Kuchi watched the poor performance of his rabble on the bridge with hatred.

These people's individual combat abilities are pretty good, and many of them are better than ordinary federal soldiers.

But together, it’s really unbearable to look at.

But he had no choice but to ask the people on the bridge to retreat.

"Come back here, don't be embarrassed on the bridge, go to the river to fish for people first!" Kuchi shouted loudly.

Couch planned to withdraw the people first.

The front line was defeated and lost its energy, but fortunately there were not many people on the other side.

There are tens of thousands of association members behind him, and the pile can reach across the river.

The half-dead drowned rats were pulled out of the river and thrown on the river bank; the wounded who were trampled to bloody pulps were carried aside.

The gunfire from the opposite side stopped.

These Chinese seemed to be quite moral and would not kill anyone, but Kuchi never said that he could be reasonable.

"Recuperate where you are! Rescue the wounded!" Kuchi looked back and forth among them while thinking about the next plan.

At this moment, a long steam whistle came from behind them.

Kuchi was startled.

"Oh, the president is really wise. Fortunately, you asked everyone to withdraw. It would be terrible if we hit the train." The braided man continued to flatter him.

"No, why does the train come so early? If I remember correctly, the train from Arkansas City will arrive at least a few hours later." Kutcher frowned and looked at the train.

Logically speaking, the train coming in this time should be like a dog covered with lice, and it should be full of people.

As long as the people on the train take a fancy to the land the train passes through, they can jump off at any time with their luggage and rush to their own bright future.

The train does not make any stops, it drives along and disperses people along the way.

But this train is different.

In addition to the iron carriages, there were also bucket trucks towed, and I didn’t know what was inside.

The train gradually approached.

Kutcher felt more and more something was wrong.

He and his people quickly surrounded them.

Suddenly, the iron panel of a bucket truck was lowered, and four iron lumps that looked like machine guns were exposed.

There were two guns on each side of the train, with their muzzles pointing outward.

Behind each iron bump stood two Chinese men in black cloth robes, looking at them expressionlessly.

"I advise you not to get close to this train." Chen Jianqiu appeared on the roof of a carriage and shouted to Kuqi with a smile, "Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

Cookie was stunned.

He looked familiar to this person, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"President, how about I take people on the train, seize the train, and ride over there on the train?" the braided man suddenly thought.

Ku Qi was looking at Chen Jianqiu in a daze.

Chen Jianqiu made a fishing gesture at him.

Cookie was dumbfounded.

Isn't this the Indian I met by the river before? Why have you become Chinese now?

Countless thoughts flashed through Kuchi's mind in hindsight.

When the last one settled in his mind.

Kutcher yelled:

"Fuck, these people are cheating!"
