"Robbers attacked the train, attacked the train bound for Stone Town!!"

Lin Yao was about to go home when a galloping fast horse caught his attention.

Immediately sat a young man in uniform, shouting as he walked through the town, shouting the news of the attack on the train.

"Train robbers?"

Lin Yao stopped, thanks to the development of the railway network, the train has become the main channel for inland transportation.

Train robbers also came into being, and they were a group of twenty or thirty people, riding tall horses like the wind, and they specialized in plundering passing trains.

In particular, in the remote western region, there have even been major incidents in which several gangs of robbers have joined forces to loot military columns, snatching 3,000 rifles distributed to the border army at one time, causing the border army to lose several hundred thousand dollars in procurement funds.

Drip···

A sharp whistle came from the sheriff's office, and the old sheriff, Billy, blew the brass whistle, an emergency signal used to summon the town sheriff.

Hearing the shrill whistle, the town quickly revived after stepping into the night.

Residents lit up oil lamps, and cowboys who bought drunk in casinos and bars also came out drunk one by one.

At first glance, many people were carrying guns.

Guns are not banned in the United States, especially in the western region, which is home to rifle associations even in the 21st century.

Farmers with shotguns, young men with revolvers, and old men with powder guns came to the police station.

Someone in the crowd asked loudly, "Old Billy, what's wrong, is there a robber going to attack the town?" ”

"It's a train to Stone Town, and it's been attacked by train robbers twenty miles away, and the police on the train have come to ask us for help."

Old Billy, wearing a hat and a sheriff's logo on his chest, said loudly, "Would anyone like to come with me to see it, the car was loaded with gold shipped by Morgan Bank to Houston, and if we can repel the robbers, Morgan Bank will definitely reward us." ”

Wow!!

The whistles are endless, and Morgan Bank is a leader in the banking world, and even farmers who have never seen the market know that the Morgan family is in charge of American finance.

"Count me in, I've got a fast horse!"

"I want to go too, but I don't have a horse, who wants to give me a ride?"

"I think it's better to forget it, the robbers who dare to fight the idea of the train are not something we can deal with, they have at least twenty or thirty people, well-armed and vicious."

"Get out of here, Filda! No money is the most terrible thing, and I'd rather be beaten to death by robbers than drink a bad bottle of 12 cents a bottle. ”

"It's the men on my side, we're going to kick the ass of those guys."

Everyone was talking about it, and in this martial era, it happened from time to time that they didn't agree with each other and pulled out their guns.

Thinking that there was money and honor to deal with the robbers, there were soon twenty or thirty people who chose to follow the sheriff to deal with the bandits.

"Count me in, if this gold is recovered, and the Morgan Bank rewards us, I will take a double share, and I am worth the price."

Lin Yao thought about it and chose to join the law enforcement team.

Hearing this, Old Billy's eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you a bounty hunter?" ”

"Yes, very professional."

Lin Yao did not deny it, because a good profession could add persuasiveness to his words.

It's like having a dinner with friends, and what a good person says is always easier to be recognized by the people around him than what a bad person says.

What's more, Lin Yao didn't think that his strength would be worse than that of bounty hunters, this group of ordinary cowboys could get one money, why couldn't he take two?

"I agreed, but I'll keep an eye on you, don't try to fool around."

Old Billy agreed, and did not forget to warn Lin Yao not to paddle.

Lin Yao nodded, saying that he would go back to get the horse and rifle, and everyone agreed to meet outside the town later.

When they got home, Lin Zhizhou and Mary were already up, standing outside the door in their pajamas, discussing what had happened with their neighbors.

Seeing Lin Yao coming back, the two asked what was wrong in the town.

Lin Yao replied simply, then took his rifle and horse, and said solemnly: "I responded to the sheriff's call and decided to help them deal with the robbers, you guys go to bed early, I may not come back until late." ”

Lin Zhizhou looked worried, but he didn't say anything after all.

Texas residents who advocate freedom and martial arts will not refuse their children's determination to fight for honor.

Mary was a little worried about him, and couldn't stop nagging: "Don't rush too far forward for a while, leave the dangerous things to others to do, we are waiting for you to go home." ”

"Don't worry, Mom, I can handle this kind of scene, I can say that it is handy!"

Lin Yao mounted his war horse and waved goodbye to his neighbors.

After half a ring, I came to the outside of the town.

He found Billy Sr. waiting here with six sheriffs, and a dozen down-and-out cowboys around them.

The number of people has decreased!!

There were twenty or thirty people who had promised to deal with the robbers together, and less than half were standing here at this time.

It's normal to think about it, some people agree to deal with robbers on the spur of the moment.

When you get home, it's normal to be dissuaded by your family or calm down by a cold wind, and you're afraid that you'll regret it.

"Wait three minutes!"

Old Billy looked as usual, apparently not surprised by this kind of thing.

Three minutes later, two more young residents joined the pursuit.

Old Billy thought there was no need to wait, and shouted, "All of you here are heroes, warriors of the town, now it's time for you to show your blades, follow me, we must let the robbers understand that the peace of Stone Town cannot be disturbed!" ”

Roar, roar, roar!!

Everyone raised their guns and roared, and 24 cowboys, led by old Billy, took advantage of the night to go into the distance.

"It will take us about twenty-five minutes to get to the place of the incident, and when we get there, we will be careful not to stop your horse."

"If the robbers have already succeeded, we will decide whether to pursue them or not, depending on the situation."

"If they don't succeed and are still in a shootout with the police on the train, we'll clean them up from behind."

Old Billy sat on his horse and told the whole plan of action.

There was certainly no plan that was too sophisticated, and time did not allow them to make a careful deployment.

But Lin Yao believed that the robbers would not have thought that they would be able to come to support so quickly, and they had already fought a battle, no matter what the victory or defeat, it was impossible to be undamaged.

Normally, there will be eight guards on the train, and if important finances are transported on the train, the number of guards will be doubled to 24.

According to the guards who reported the news, there were probably more than thirty robbers.

In terms of numbers, the advantage of the robbers is not great, even if they eat the train guards, they will have to lose most of the centaurs, and it is good to survive a dozen people.

The two sides meet.

On one side is the sheriff and the cowboy led by the town sheriff.

On one side was the robbers who fought a vicious fight and suffered heavy losses.

Lin Yao felt that their chances of winning were still very good, after all, it was dark now, and the other party didn't know how many of them there were, so he wouldn't have the courage to fight with them again.

"It's the firelight, they're in front!"

After a stick of incense, a fire appeared in front of everyone.

Listen closely, the sporadic firefights continue, and the robbers should have achieved partial victories, but they have not been able to kill all the guards.

"Rush up, boys!"

Billy Sr. brandished his rifle and shouted slogans.

Some young cowboys, screaming and charging.

Lin Yao, the old birds, turned over and dismounted outside the effective range, and chose to lean against the trees on both sides of the railroad tracks and began to advance slowly.

Bang bang bang!!

Gunfire continued, and several young cowboys who had rushed ahead were knocked off their horses.

They also played their part, and firing in the dark could easily reveal their bearings.

The sacrifice of several young cowboys found out the position of each other for Lin Yao's group.

There were eight people in the carriage, five on the roof, three more people on the periphery, and sixteen more robbers.

Well, a good start.
