After a law and order sweep in northern Queensland, the originally rampant horse bandits were combed through a sieve and almost disappeared under the blow of the iron fist.

Not all the bad guys are caught, it's practically impossible.

There are always fish that have escaped the net, and the harsh crackdown measures taken by the state government are intimidated, as evidenced by the hanged corpses of bandits in the countryside and wilderness, and the smarter ones have all put away their restless thoughts.

With the boom of development in the north, there is an endless stream of four-wheeled tarpaulin carts from Brisbane to the north, and these rich people with bulging pockets drive cattle and sheep to the pasture with their families, which is simply the best big fat sheep.

The weeds are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

This is a portrayal of the current real situation, there are many people who take risks for money again, not to mention white cowboys, many Chinese cowboys are also involved, and even become the main force.

Wealth is moving!

After learning about the situation in Linyi Town, Zhao Qishan had a premonition of danger and did not have the heart to stay in the town longer, so it only took more than two hours to buy goods with Ma Limin at the Carrefour department store in the town, put them on the two pack horses he brought with him, and tied them firmly, and then prepared to return in a hurry.

It is important that the news must be told to Old Mac as soon as possible.

Linyi Town is more than 70 kilometers away from the grazing point, fast horses can go back and forth in one day, and it takes at least 4 to 5 days to drive a large herd of cattle and sheep.

What the two of them didn't know was that when they bought a large amount of goods and tied them to pack horses, they had already fallen into the eyes of those who cared.

Some had already ridden out of the town first, and when they reached the outside of the town, they immediately rode away and disappeared into the verdant grass-covered hills in the distance.

in a small town

Zhao Qishan led the pack horse full of goods to walk in front, Ma Limin rode a horse to follow, the two of them couldn't help but take a few more glances when they passed by the tavern in the town, there are always coquettish hostesses in the tavern, drink a few glasses of wine and play cards for a while, is the cowboys' favorite easy way.

Unfortunately, the situation was urgent, and they didn't dare to delay their efforts in the town.

"Qishan, forget it today, let's have a good drink in the town in a few days, I can't help the wine worm in my stomach."

"That's necessary, I'll accompany you then."

"Huh...... All right! ”

That's when it happened

A teenager in his 10s passed by, stuffed a small note into Zhao Qishan's hand, and ran away without looking back.

Zhao Qishan reacted instantly after only a little surprise, and the alarm bell in his heart was raised, and he immediately put his hand on the revolver on his waist and looked around.

From a distance, I saw the mounted policeman Wu Xiaoshan waving his hand, and the figure flashed behind the corner of the house and disappeared.

Knowing that there must be something strange, Zhao Qishan secretly looked at the note, then turned over and said; "Brother Limin, it's really unlucky, we may be targeted."

"What's going on?"

"Let's go, let's get out of town first."

The two horsemen led the two pack horses out of the town quickly, and after crossing the wooden bridge outside the town, they slowed down and rode slowly.

At this time, the two rode side by side, and Ma Min asked; "What, did you find anything going on?"

"See for yourself." Zhao Qishan handed the note in his hand to Ma Limin, and said with a solemn face; "This is a warning message from that little brother of the mounted police, who behaved too ostentatiously in the town just now, and someone may be unfavorable to us."

"What the fuck, what do you think?"

"Brother Min, since I know that this neighborhood is not peaceful, I am a little worried that Old Mike is completely unprepared, and if he is attacked by horse bandits, he will regret it, no matter what, we still have to rush back."

"Do you expect us to be bait and cavalry are all rice buckets, how can these horse bandits who kill a thousand knives not stop? They should all be hanged. Ma Min said hatefully.

"Don't think about it, everyone in this wilderness is riding a horse with a gun, turning their faces and robbing is a horse bandit, and being safe and quiet is a passerby, how can we kill it?" Zhao Qishan was willing to be this Laoshzi bait, but unfortunately he had no choice.

The northern part of Queensland was not the Earl's long-standing traditional sphere of influence, especially after the Governor Frank and the State Home Rule Office were deliberately elevated to rubber stamps, and the militia and law and order were even weaker.

Hiding in the town and putting his family in danger, Zhao Qishan and Ma Weimin can't do this kind of thing, so they can only gamble on their luck.

The sporadic horse bandits were not rampant enough to dare to commit crimes near the town, so after the two left the town, they drank their horses by the river, fed them some concentrate feed, and rode their horses slowly, carefully preserving the horse's physical strength.

It is about ten kilometers out of town

A group of more than ten horseback bandits appeared in the hills behind, and quickly approached Zhao Qishan and the others, obviously with bad intentions.

Zhao Qishan and the others pretended not to know, rode their horses away from the avenue and came to the small mound on the side of the road, and looked at them vigilantly after stopping their horses.

This group of horse bandits, a total of 11 people, rode along the main road, and the two sides soon approached a distance of more than 400 meters.

At this time, Zhao Qishan and others left the road for more than 300 meters, if these more than ten horsemen left everyone directly, they would naturally be safe, if they took out their weapons and outflanked them, then they were horse bandits, and the boundary between the people and bandits was so blurred, only in a thought.

"Brothers, go up ...... Fuck it. Seeing that the distance was approaching, the horse bandit led by the leader drew his revolver and shouted, revealing a hideous face.

The other cowboys drew their pistols one after another, screamed and slammed their horses and galloped wildly, and the cavalry clearly drew a beautiful arc from the road towards the small dirt mountain, and the malice was not disguised in the slightest.

Zhao Qishan and Ma Liming's last glimmer of hope was shattered, and they did not panic in the face of the rampant Ma Fei, quickly pulled out their rifles and aimed, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang Bang ......" After two crisp gunshots

A horse bandit's horse was hit, and he rolled and fell to the ground with a neighing cry, causing the horse bandit riding on it to fall into a daze.

The crisp sound of the gunfire alarmed the pack horse, and at once spread its hooves and ran off into the distance.

Zhao Qishan and Ma Limin didn't care about the frightened horses, they simply unloaded their bombs, re-aimed and fired again.

Zhao Qishan shot a horse bandit who was screaming wildly, and Ma Limin's shot grazed the bandit's head and whistled, frightening the other bandits to immediately scatter, raising their revolvers and shooting indiscriminately.

Hot bullets kept passing through the air, making a deadly whistling sound.

Zhao Qishan is a veteran dragoon soldier who has been rigorously trained for many years, allowing dangerous bullets to pass by, riding on his horse and moving steadily, exiting the bullet case like a flowing cloud, and then taking out the bullet and pushing it into the chamber, closing the bolt and aiming again.

"Bang Bang ......"

From a distance of 300 meters to a distance of 150 meters, Zhao Qishan quickly fired 8 bullets, killing two bandits, injuring a war horse, and leaving five shots empty.

Coupled with a war horse that Ma Weimin also hit, four bandits had fallen off their horses in a short period of time, and such accurate marksmanship made the bandits very frightened, and they hurriedly turned their horses' heads and scattered.

"Let's go, they don't dare to chase too closely."

Zhao Qishan broke off his drink, knocked the horse's belly hard, and galloped wildly, and Ma Weimin followed closely behind, chasing in the direction where the pack horse was frightened and left.

The bandits suffered by not drawing their spears at first, but they did not expect the prey to suddenly attack, and only with the revolver in their hands to shoot at the galloping horses at high speed, it was almost the same as laughing to hit the enemy.

The biggest loss is that the revolver is less powerful, and the lethality of more than 150 meters is already small.

The loose sealing between the cartridge nest and the revolver is a problem with the tire belt, the gunpowder will leak from the hole after the ammunition is fired, and the revolver will have a strong upward movement after shooting, which is only suitable for close shooting within 80 meters.

The remaining 7 horse bandits hesitated for a moment, only to see the leader of the horse bandits draw his spear and said angrily; "The fourth brother stayed to see if the injured brother was still saved, and the others chased after me, I must slaughter these two bastards today."

After saying that, he took the lead in chasing after him, and the other five horse bandits also drew their spears one after another and chased after them.

in accordance with the relevant laws of the State of Queensland;

No matter what brand of civilian riding gun is a single-hit structure, the magazine type riding gun is dedicated to the army, and the use of repeating guns by ordinary people is a felony of illegal weaponry, once it is found that at least 5 years of hard labor starts.

Similarly, there are regulations for civilian revolvers, the caliber is not allowed to be larger than 9 mm, the barrel is also shorter, the firing range is short, and the lethality is small.

The military revolver, on the other hand, is 11.43 mm caliber, or 0.45 inches, with a long barrel that is more lethal.

Queensland has very strict penalties for illegal possession of firearms, and if you are found to be in possession of a firearm, you will be thrown into a hard labor camp.

If you have a criminal record, hehe...... Sensei counted on it.

Therefore, in Queensland, no one dares to possess illegal weapons unless they are extremely vicious outlaws, and once they are found to be not playing, it is really fatal!

The two sides chased and fled, playing hide and seek in the gentle hilly terrain.

Zhao Qishan was skilled in horsemanship and accurate marksmanship, and the horse bandits did not dare to get too close, and after the two sides were entangled for half an hour, Ma Limin was wounded by a stray bullet, and Zhao Qiming killed a horse bandit again.

"How about Brother Limin, can you still hold on?"

"It's okay." Ma Limin was shot in the outside of his left back, and the bullet pierced his body, and the red blood had stained his clothes red.

"Don't hold on, I'll stop the bandits here for a while, you leave first, find a place to bandage the wound, if the blood runs dry, we won't have a chance to go to the tavern for another drink."

"Do you want me to do it? Good brother, I can't help you here, so let's withdraw first. ”

Ma Limin's face became more and more pale, he was not a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law, and he knew that continuing to stay was just a drag. He glanced hatefully at the bandits who were pestering behind him, tied the stiff rope of the pack horse to the saddle, and slammed the horse away.
