187: Extinguishing the mouth
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
After a short exchange of fire, both sides lost a few men, and the robbers finally couldn't hold it anymore.
They are seeking money, not to fight, and killing is not an end but a means.
After shooting and killing several cowboys who rushed ahead, the bandits beckoned their companions to retreat.
Lin Yao was waiting for this opportunity, he hid behind a big tree, pulled the bolt of his gun, and shot a bandit who was riding on a horse and trying to escape into the woods.
The bandits fell from their horses and fell to the ground without moving.
The others didn't have time to care about him at all, and fled frantically on horseback with a large bag of finances.
Without the cover of the train, the casualties of the bandits increased significantly.
In the blink of an eye, most of them were wiped out on the way to escape, and Lin Yao alone killed three bandits.
"Catch them up and send them to God!"
Billy Sr. wielded his rifle and led the crowd in pursuit.
Lin Yao didn't follow Old Billy and them, but set his sights on a robber who didn't take anything and seemed to be empty-handed.
The robber looked as if he had come to make up the numbers, because he had no belongings with him.
But Lin was dazzled to find that the seemingly emaciated robber was very bloated, and his horse was the best of all.
A big fish!!
Lin Yao rode his horse and followed the man into the woods.
The two sides were three hundred meters apart, and Lin Yao followed behind unhurriedly, neither accelerating nor slowing down, like a shepherd dog driving a flock of sheep, driving the robbers to flee farther away.
The robber fired a few shots unwillingly, but the distance was too far for him to shoot another knight three hundred meters away on his horse.
The scene was at a stalemate for a while, and after about ten minutes, I ran a distance of seven or eight miles.
Lin Yao estimated that it was almost there, so he picked up his rifle and aimed at this person's war horse.
Bang!!
A gunshot rang out, and the robbers threw out with their men and horses.
The corners of Lin Yao's mouth brought a smile, excellent marksmanship and a rifle with good performance were vividly played on this occasion.
He could hit the robber's horse with a single shot at a distance of 300 meters, but the robber couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes, and even if he restored this scene ten more times, the robber would not be able to fight him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't put my hand on my waist!"
Lin Yao rode forward and said to the robber in a cold voice.
The robber's head was broken and bleeding, the mask on his face also fell off, he half sat on the ground, touched the hand behind him stiffly in front of him, and looked at Lin Yao who came under the moonlight: "Friend, give me a chance, how about you just pretend that you haven't seen me?" ”
"Why?"
Lin Yao turned over and dismounted, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the person's head.
If you look closer, this is a thin man with a decadent face and no meat on his body.
After looking at it carefully, Lin Yao muttered, "Are you Pete, a thin monkey?" ”
"You know me?" Pete asked rhetorically.
"There's your wanted warrant on town, and you're worth $200 on it."
Lin Yao approached a little bit, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at his hand: "Throw away your revolver, of course, you can also try which of us is faster, you can get away with it if you win, and if you lose, this life is mine." ”
Pete hesitated for a moment, and eventually he chose to drop the revolver.
His marksmanship was very average, and he knew very well that the man in front of him could hit him at night, at a distance of three hundred meters.
He must have been a master of guns, just like those famous cowboys.
Competing with such a person to see whose gun is faster, or gambling with his own life, Pete thinks he must be crazy.
"You know each other very well, and I kind of like you now."
Lin Yao was still holding the gun, glanced at his belt and continued, "Now untie your belt and use it to tie your legs. ”
"You're not trying to catch me and get my reward, are you?"
Pete didn't listen to Lin Yao's orders, but argued: "My value is far more than 200 US dollars, how about we make friends, you let me live, the money on me is yours, and I will repay you in the future, I swear!" ”
Bang!!
The bullet struck Pete in the foot, startling him.
"I don't want to repeat it, do as I say."
Lin Yao's muzzle was aimed at his head again, and there was no meaning of laughter on his face.
Pete had no choice but to untie his belt and tie his legs, and spread his hands: "Say, how can you change your life?" ”
"You're so afraid of death?"
Lin Yao replaced the gun with a revolver and stepped forward to tie his hands with ropes.
Pete didn't struggle, but joked and said, "No one wants to die, especially someone with a great future like me." ”
"You're really rich!"
Lin Yao didn't object to his words, because after opening Pete's coat, he found that Pete was wearing a special jacket inside.
On top of the jacket, there were many small pockets like those of an electrician, and each pocket was stuffed with a gold bar.
Counting them, Pete had twenty-four gold bars, each of which was a 500-gram bar, adding up to a total of 12 kilograms of gold.
"You're the boss of the robbers?"
Seeing that Pete had so many gold bars on his body, Lin Yao suspected that he was the number one person among the robbers.
Pete denied it without hesitation, and said bluntly: "I am their partner, and I know what is on the train, so I will find someone to cooperate, and in return I will take one-third of the goods." ”
"There were 72 gold bars on the train, and I took 24, which is the reward I deserve."
"But those people are so greedy that they are not satisfied with just taking gold bars, and they want to loot the passengers in the car."
"Our plan is fourteen minutes slower than expected, or you won't be able to catch me."
Pete looked remorseful, in fact, they had already solved the guards, and the gunshots they heard Lin Yao heard were the passengers defending themselves.
Robbing gold bars and robbing passengers are actually two different concepts.
There were hundreds of people on the train, and they didn't care about the gold bars being robbed, but they didn't allow the robbers to beat their minds.
If it weren't for what happened later, they would have left a long time ago, leaving Lin Yao with only empty boxes.
I was really blind to cooperate with a group of amateur robbers.
Don't they know that the most valuable thing about this train is gold, and even if hundreds of passengers were looted, the looting would be less than a fraction of gold?
"I have twenty-four gold bars, and each bar sells for five hundred dollars on the black market, for a total of twelve thousand dollars."
"Let's discuss how to do it, I will give you all the gold bars, you let me live, I am willing to claim to the outside world that you did not catch me, the gold bars are still in my hands, you just need to let me go, I will take all the responsibility."
"When the time comes, the bounty hunters will come after me, and you can move to the big city with the gold and live the life you want."
"Think about it, what's in it for you to catch me?"
"You're going to hand over this gold, and they're going to give you a reward of up to five hundred dollars."
"It's $12,000 worth of gold, $12,000 or $500, you know what to choose, right?"
Pete tried his best to persuade Lin Yao, hoping to exchange this batch of gold for a chance to live.
He knew very well that if he fell into the hands of the sheriff, he would be hanged according to his resume.
The ants are still barely living, and no one wants to die.
"Yes, I didn't catch you, you ran away with the gold."
As soon as Lin Yao spoke, a smile appeared on Pete's face.
It's just that soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because Lin Yao raised his revolver and said coldly: "Only dead people can keep secrets, I will be sure that you ran away, I didn't find that batch of gold, now please take the secret and die." ”
"No, you can't do this to me, I..."
Bang!!
