Chapter 299: The U.S.-Mexico Border
"Juarez?" Chen Jianqiu heard Holmes say that this city is not far from Roswell,
He turned around and began to search the map for the place.
Soon, he found it.
But when he really saw the location of the city, a sudden doubt arose.
"Is this city American, or Mexican?"
According to the map of Holmes, the city is located on the border, at the junction of New Mexico, Texas and the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
Within the U.S. border, right next to it, is marked with a dot called El Paso, which almost coincides with Juarez.
"Actually, these two cities were originally one city." Holmes stood up, walked to the edge of the map, pointed to the two dots that almost coincided, and said to Chen Jianqiu.
"After the Mexican-American War, the original city was divided in two by the Rio Grande." Holmes's fingernails were attached to the map, tracing along the river along the border, so that Chen Jianqiu could see more clearly.
"The south side of the river, to Mexico, is called Juarez; And the north side of the river belonged to the United States of America, and it was called El Paso. ”
"These two cities, originally located on the Royal Inland Boulevard of the Spanish Empire, were important hubs." Holmes began to educate the history of the city.
"Royal Outback? What is it? Chen Jianqiu felt that the name sounded quite lofty, but he didn't know what it meant.
"A trade route of more than 2,000 kilometers that connects Mexico City with Santa Fe." Holmes drew a line on the map as if he were playing with Lianlian.
Past trade routes? Isn't that the current smuggling route?
Chen Jianqiu looked at this "unique" geographical condition, and could roughly guess what the security environment of this ghost place would look like.
The junction of the three states also means that the three parties do not care too much, and this kind of place is often the place where crime is most likely to breed.
"Let's go?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Camilla.
"Let's go, then." Camila brushed her hair back, then tied it back and tied it in a ponytail.
A few days later, the group to Juárez departed.
Because he didn't know the situation over there, and he didn't know how Thiago was mixing over there now, Chen Jianqiu personally led the team.
This time, in addition to killing Thiago, he had other purposes.
He was accompanied by Camila, Holiday and Rabiot, in addition to Asuka who was familiar with the border situation.
Three who speak Spanish and at the same time have three best marksmanship.
In addition, it is the twenty or so people of the Long Xiang group and Li Sifu.
Under Chen Jianqiu's personal training, the ability of these people is far stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, plus they are well-equipped, and their combat effectiveness is very impressive.
As long as there are not thousands of regular troops on the Mexican side, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Chen Jianqiu first walked all the way south to the border, and then went all the way east along the border, heading straight to Texas.
"Boss, why don't we just head east to El Paso?"
On the border line, Asuka followed behind Chen Jianqiu, and asked the boss who was looking around all the way with some puzzlement.
Sticking to the border line is what he usually does, and if he wants to go to Juarez and go through the formal procedures, he doesn't have to be so troublesome.
"Asuka, where do you usually meet people who are smuggled over?" Chen Jianqiu asked suddenly.
"Well, maybe a little further on, not to the Texas state border." Asuka searched in his mind, looked around again, and replied.
"Oh? How come I haven't seen these people in Roswell? Li Sifu winked at the bird.
"What the hell is it when you see it, these people have gone through a lot of trouble to cross the border, not to Albuquerque or Santa Fe and other places, to cross the desert and come to Roswell to find you?" Holiday smiled.
He has been traveling along the U.S.-Mexico border and has seen many stowaways, each of which is often covered with all kinds of bones.
"I can tell you, on this border, there is everything, bad weather, wild beasts and ......"
Before he could finish his words, several gunshots rang out, and suddenly came from afar.
Holiday shrugged: "It seems that I don't need to introduce it." ”
In the distance, on the other side of the border, a blurred field of vision was dusty.
After a while, two carriages appeared in Chen Jianqiu's field of vision.
The two wagons, one carrying people and the other cargo, each had a man driving the horses in the trailer.
Behind them, a dozen or so people followed.
The men were on horseback, guns in hand, whistling as they fired at the two wagons.
The coachmen in the carriage were not afraid in the slightest, and as they drove their horses and guns in hand, they turned to shoot at their pursuers.
Neither side seems to hit the other.
However, there was no ready-made road where they were walking, and it was clear that they had been forced away from their original direction by their pursuers.
This desert is littered with all sorts of gravel and is not friendly to horse-drawn carriages.
Suddenly, the wooden wheels of a carriage hit a stone, and the wheels were raised high.
In an instant, the carriage lost its balance.
The groom was clearly unable to maintain his balance anymore, and the whole man flew out of the carriage and fell heavily to the ground.
The wheels flew out, and the goods on the carriage were scattered all over the ground.
People overturned on their backs, cars were destroyed and people died.
And the other carriage obviously did not escape the same fate.
"Asuka, are all the smuggling behaviors you usually encounter so exciting?" Chen Jianqiu looked at the bird.
Obviously, these people are not as simple as smuggling.
The bird was still thinking about how to answer, but he saw Chen Jianqiu clamping the horse's belly, and the black radish raised its hooves and rushed towards those who were chasing with guns.
And Chen Jianqiu, who was on the horse, had already drawn out his repeating rifle.
Camila waved her hand behind her.
"All assemble, change formation, meet the enemy!" Li Sifu gave an order.
The formation of the Long Xiang group changed, it was as compact as a diamond, and it followed closely behind Chen Jianqiu, rushing forward.
The Mexican bandits who were chasing also quickly saw the situation on this side of the border.
They hesitated for a moment whether to continue the pursuit.
For they saw these men from afar, each with a repeating rifle in his hand.
Just as they hesitated, the guns in the hands of Chen Jianqiu and the others rang out.
In the first round of gunfire, five or six people were shot and fell under their horses.
The pursuing Mexican bandits realized that they had encountered hard stubble and turned around and ran.
However, Chen Jianqiu, who rushed to the first, had already begun to empty the magazine.
After a short period of pursuit, the Mexican bandits were wiped out, leaving not a single survivor alive.
Chen Jianqiu led the people back to the place where the pursuit began.
The other remaining carriage stopped there, and the groom stared at them nervously.
The wheels of the carriage were broken.
And from the carriage came a Mexican with a mustache.
