Actually, Hubs Ferry, this is a poor place, although there is an arsenal here, and it is not far from Washington, it seems to be a strategic point, but the arsenal was actually built in 1815, that is, after the Second Revolutionary War, in order to prevent the British from entering the United States again.

At that time, the United States could not defend itself against the British, and other people's warships could rush in, so they thought of building an arsenal in a place such as the Hubbs Ferry, because it was a second line of defense and could provide a good support for the war.

But as we all know, if a war like that didn't happen, that is, the continental United States was not attacked, then this arsenal was naturally useless. Moreover, this Hubs ferry is still notoriously poor, don't look close to Washington, but the lights are dark, the policy does not benefit, and there are not many slave owners in this place themselves.

In addition, even if it is poor, this is also Virginia, Virginia is the root of the United States, and the "Virginia" itself comes from the English word "place, child", which is the original land of reclamation, and the people in this place have a sense of honor, they are the earliest Americans, and the characteristics of Virginians are martial arts!

It's very martial, this is the state with the most military academies in the whole country, and most of the founding fathers of the United States are Virginians, such as Washington, so, such a place, John Brown this time......

"Ahh Yes! ”

One of John Brown's henchmen, a black man named Danjeveld Newby, was devoured by the angry crowd, and he wanted to save his wife and children on a plantation in Virginia, but he didn't expect to confess here.

"Hahaha!"

"Kill him!"

The angry crowd is really like zombies, because Li Mengyang watched the gang cut off Newby's ear, and then you stabbed me and I cut the black man's body!

"It's scary!" Although Eleanor has also seen a lot, she really didn't expect that the people in her hometown would be so brutal, where are these people still a little bit devout?

Li Mengyang naturally enjoyed the warm fragrance of nephrite, and he was also a little surprised, he didn't expect the local folk customs to be so strong.

I saw one after another, John Brown's men were swallowed up by the crowd, there was no order at all in the war these years, John Brown just arranged his own people in the arsenal, as for the position, you have chosen it yourself.

"Ahh Jason! ”

"Nope! Oh my God! My little Gibb! ”

John Brown's two sons were also killed, and his eyes are red now.

"Eastwood! Please! "John Brown is really out of line, this looks like it's going to be unstoppable!

"Hey~" Li Mengyang sighed, it seems that it will not work if he doesn't make a move, the fighting level of John Brown's gang is too bad!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Only three gunshots were heard, and then the frantic crowd on the opposite side was a little sluggish.

"Ahh

"Me, my ears!"

"Oh God! Who is it! Yes! It hurts! ”

Three of the men in the crowd were howling with their ears covered, blood gushing from their fingers, apparently with their ears knocked out.

The crowd is now you look at me, I look at you, the reason why they were majestic just now was because it seemed that no one had been shot, but now it was different, not only was it hit, but it was also hit in the ear, that thing was very small, okay? It's hard to hit.

"All go back! There is a limit to my patience! Li Mengyang came out first, with a Colt 1851 navy in his hand, still smoking.

Was it this guy who just hit our man's ear?

The Hubs looked at each other, a little hesitant, because, as if ......

"There are so many of us! What are you afraid of him? ”

"That's right! All he had was a gun and six bullets! ”

It seems that the Americans' calculations are not bad at this time, and after these people understood it together, they immediately rushed over like zombies attacking the city!

Bang bang......

After a series of gunshots like popping beans, I saw a bunch of guys covering their ears on the ground!

Li Mengyang had an extra gun in his hand at this time, and that gun was not Colt's, but a new revolver produced in his arsenal!

"Do you want to guess how many guns I have?"

Li Mengyang looked at the group of people with a smile on his face.

"Oh my god!"

"Devil!"

A group of villagers ran cleanly, there was no way, people of this age, no matter how martial they were, they had never seen such a terrifying marksmanship.

"Phew~ Thank you, Mr. Eastwood." John Brown was really scared just now.

"You're welcome." Li Mengyang is not arrogant.

And Eleanor is snuggled up to Li Mengyang's side, she has just realized Li Mengyang's intention of only hitting her ears, which is nothing more than saving face for herself, after all, these people are from her hometown.

Li Mengyang was also a little embarrassed, after all, the scene just now was very scary, but he even felt that he had practiced his marksmanship correctly, and it seemed that it would not be long before the troubled times came, and it would be more useful when the time came.

After a while, the meal came, and the villagers were really honest.

……

"What? You want me to take command of the troops? ”

"Riot at the Hubbs Ferry?"

Because of the unsatisfactory situation in the west, General Robert Lee simply took a long leave to go home, which can be regarded as out of sight and out of mind. But unexpectedly, at this time, he received an order from the War Department to take command of the less than 100 Marines currently in Washington, D.C., and go to the Hubs Ferry, because it had just been occupied by a guy named John Brown.

The Marines have a long history, but by now, the entire East is left with these people to defend the capital. The regular combat unit of the entire eastern U.S. army, just one one, and the other one in South Carolina, is Fort Sumter.

Hey, yes, the United States is so strange today, maybe it's been peaceful for too long, so the army or something, there can still be less and less, if there are no Indians, maybe those guys in the west will be unemployed.

Because of this, John Brown's gang took the ferry without even encountering the slightest resistance.

When they heard the news that the Hubbs Ferry had been captured, the gang panicked, but fortunately, the old general Scott remembered that Robert Lee was staying at home, so it was just him.

It wasn't far, and the Marines had already assembled, so Robert Lee simply dressed in civilian clothes and walked away with his troops.

On October 18, the Marines surrounded the arsenal at the Hubbs Ferry......

"What should I do?"

"Do we want to go out and surrender now?!"

"Get out!"

After some fighting, five more people were lost on John Brown's side, and there were also casualties on the Marines' side, but the number of people was too large, and John Brown had to retreat to one of the last solid buildings in the arsenal, a machine room.

This arsenal is really not big, this should be the place where the production workshop is located, Li Mengyang looks at it is the size of a classroom, there is an extra cubicle, I think it may be a place for workers to rest and eat.

The stone and wood structure of the house is relatively sturdy, but the arsenal here at least can't be made of wood, but it seems that there is no place to run.

"Listen to the people inside! You're surrounded! ……”

Well, no matter what era, shouting at the kidnappers seems to be such a routine.

Li Mengyang was bored, he picked up a rifle used by John Brown's gang and aimed it outside, this is a good product, called a Sharps rifle, it is also a reloader, and the accuracy is very high, the barrel of this gun is loaded like an Armstrong gun.

Li Mengyang looked at it, and he saw a bearded man in civilian clothes, that guy should be not young, and he also held a telescope and looked straight into our room.

So, don't you give this old boy a shot?

"What are you doing!"

Unexpectedly, Eleanor slapped Li Mengyang fiercely, startling him!

"Hey! What are you doing? Li Mengyang said in his heart, this is simply a barbaric girlfriend just now, right?

"What are you aiming at? That's a civilian! ”

"Okay, okay. I'm going to look at the scenery, the Potomac River is done, right? ”

looked at Li Mengyang's helplessness, but in fact, he really frightened Eleanor just now, if Li Mengyang really shot, how could he deal with himself?

……

General Robert Lee, with the binoculars, didn't know that he had just brushed shoulders with death, and that the person who was going to take his life had some strange connections with him, and all he was thinking about was how to solve the battle in front of him, and that he had a relative still holding him hostage.

"Stewart, be careful."

β€œYES-SIR!”

This American soldier named Stewart was a student of Robert Lee, and he was taught by his teacher when he was at West Point, so it can be said that he admired Robert Lee and Stewart very much.

At this time, Stewart flew a white flag and walked towards John Brown's last 'fortress'.

"John Brown! Surrender y'all! ”

"The devil will surrender!"

Stewart came to persuade him to surrender, but in fact, John Brown at this time was already at the end of his rope.

So since you don't surrender......

Smack! Bang! Bang!

I just heard that the back window of this machine room was smashed open, and then the Marine rushed in and opened fire!

Attract attention in the front and attack in the back, this trick is good, and that's it for this year. But look at Stewart, he has already hidden, and then, Robert Lee also led the landing crew to attack from the front!

"Ahh

"Kill!"

Poof! Bang! Bang!

rushed in, because there were hostages, so try to use a knife, John Brown was cut directly to the ground, and the others were like fish on the board, let others do it!

A hostage rescue battle is about to be a big success, but what about Li Mengyang and Eleanor, the male and female thieves?

Suddenly, I only heard a bang, and then the hula room caught fire!

"Huh?! What's going on! ”

"What's wrong?"

"Ahem, ahem!"

This burning thing is very choking, yes, this arsenal may be in disrepair, but after all, it is an arsenal, so there must be gunpowder, right?

This gunpowder is definitely an old product, I don't know how long it has been placed, and the room is full of smoke in an instant, and no one can see anything, but it didn't take long for another movement to come out!

Bang! Is the window also broken?

Poof! Poof!

Then there was a sound from the other side of the Potomac!

"Not good! Someone jumped into the river and ran away! ”
