Chapter 459: Stampede Bridge

Couch led the way with his "Seven Hundred Warriors" and galloped toward the North Carnedine River.

The wind of the prairie blew across his face, and hundreds of horses raced to each other.

In high spirits, Kutch raised his whip and slapped his mount's butt hard.

“ya!”

"Kutch! There are already people left behind! One of his attendants caught up with him and said, "Shall we wait?" ”

"Ignore them, let them find a good place to occupy on the spot, our goal will always be the most fertile land!" Couch had no intention of slowing down.

A group of people hurried and finally saw the outline of the North Carnedine River a few hours later.

There is only one railway bridge over the river for trains to cross the river.

"Brothers, quick! Our home is right in front of us, before the train comes! Let's rush over! Kutch excitedly threw up his arms behind him.

But he stopped halfway through his sentence.

Because he noticed that something was wrong.

"Kutch, there seems to be someone on the other side of the river." The attendant behind him pointed to the opposite side and shouted.

There are indeed shadows of people and horses.

"Impossible! When pigs fly! Couch was a little reluctant to believe it.

He and his subordinates were obviously the first to rush over, how could someone arrive before him?

Kutch stopped his horse on the bank of the river and looked to the opposite side.

Not only are there people on the other side of the river, they are also driving boundary posts along the riverbank.

He took a cursory glance, and there were not many people on the other side, at least not as many as these cowboys behind him, at most about a hundred or so people.

"Rush over! Drive them away! Kutch gave the order with a cold face.

"Okay! President! See how I clean them up! A cowboy with a scar on his face turned around the dock, took the cowboy behind him onto the bridge, and rushed across the river.

Li Sifu, who was on the other side of the river, also noticed the arrival of the Colonizers' Association.

On the opposite side of the river, there was a black patch, and after Kutch gave the order, cowboys on horseback rushed to the railroad bridge like flowing water.

Li Sifu was a little nervous, but he was not afraid at all.

He put his hand to his lips.

A shrill whistle sounded on the riverbank.

"Assemble! Meet the enemy! ”

Li Sifu threw away the gavel in his hand, turned over his horse, drew his gun, and rushed towards the direction of the bridge.

"This place has been occupied! Please don't go near our private property! "There were already Chinese cavalry loudly warning the opposite side.

"Regardless of them, rush over, tear down their boundary pillars, and whoever dares to stop them will be killed!" Kutch roared loudly on the riverbank.

He is not afraid of being accused of being arrogant.

Because he feels that he has the capital of arrogance.

The bridge is not long for cowboys on horseback.

After a while, I saw that they were about to cross the bridge.

The scar-faced cowboy who rushed to the front could already see the Chinese soldiers in front of him.

He took out his revolver and shot it at the sky.

"Get out of here! You yellow-skinned scumbags, this is not the place for you to settle down! Scarface roared with a sinister grin, "Look at the guns we've got in our hands, they're going to shoot you into a few holes and then blast you to slag!" ”

In his impression, these Chinese were useless even if they held guns, and as long as they rushed over, they would drop their guns and run away.

However, he hit a hard stubble today.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Li Sifu, who had already arrived, was the first to shoot, and then the Chinese soldiers around him also pulled the trigger.

Giving enough face, they did not aim at the people on the horses, but at the horses in the front row.

Seven or eight horses were shot, and they neighed and fell to the ground, or they simply fell to their knees and tossed the knights on their backs to the ground.

Although the railway bridge is not narrow, the fall of seven or eight horses at the same time makes the scene chaotic.

These cowboys spend their days in the pasture fighting with the cows and horses, and they are agile, and they can get up quickly after falling.

But Scarface didn't have such good luck.

He flew straight out, hit his head on the rails, and fainted instantly.

The horses behind couldn't stop and stepped on them with one hoof.

"Click!"

I don't know where I stepped on it, but it was the sound of bones breaking.

The bolt-action rifles in the hands of Li Sifu and the Chinese soldiers were not slow to fire.

With another volley, seven or eight more horses fell.

If it was on the plains, these cowboys on horseback might have a chance to kill the other side.

But they're on the bridge!

The horses behind hit the carcass of the horses in front of them and tripped to the ground, and they became a roadblock for those behind.

There are no fences on either side of the bridge.

For a while, the people on the bridge turned over on their backs, and the people and horses fell into the river from both sides like dumplings.

Fortunately, the bridge is not high and the river is not deep.

The bad thing is that the river is really not deep, and in some places, there are even stones exposed to the water.

Whether you fall down is dead or alive, it really depends on whether you usually help the grandmother cross the road.

"Help! Don't rush! I don't know who shouted.

"Turn around! Turn around! Someone shouted, "Don't squeeze it!" It's going to fall! ”

In the matter of charging, the most feared thing is to give up halfway, and how can the horses that run up have the reason to stop.

There was chaos on the bridge, and the people in front led the horses in circles in place, symbolically firing back in the direction of Li Sifu and them.

Couch watched the clumsy performance of his own rabble on the bridge with hatred.

These people are all okay in individual combat, and many of them are better than ordinary Federation soldiers.

But when they get together, I can't bear to look at them directly.

But he had no choice but to let the people on the bridge retreat.

"Come back to me, don't be embarrassed on the bridge, go to the river to fish for people first!" Couch shouted.

Kutch was going to withdraw the people first.

The first formation was deflated and lost its sharpness, but fortunately, there were not many people on the other side.

There are tens of thousands of association members behind him, and even the heaps can be piled across the river.

The half-dead chickens were dragged up from the river and thrown on the riverbank; The wounded, trampled to a bloody blur, were lifted aside.

The gunfire on the opposite side stopped.

These Chinese seem to be quite moral, and they don't kill them, but he has never said that he can be reasonable.

"Rest in place! Rescue the wounded! Kutch walked back and forth among them, pondering his next steps.

At that moment, a long steam whistle came from behind them.

Couch was stunned.

"Oh, the president is really wise, fortunately you let everyone evacuate, it would be a shame if you hit the train." The pigtailed man continued to pat his ass on the side.

"No, why did the train come so early? If I'm not mistaken, the train from Arkansas City won't arrive until at least a few hours later. Couch frowned and looked at the train.

It stands to reason that the train that came in this time should be like a dog full of lice, with people hanging on it.

As long as the people on the train take a fancy to the land through which the train passes, they can jump down with their luggage at any time and rush to their own bright future.

The train doesn't stop, it runs all the way, and it spreads people all the way.

But this train is different.

In addition to the iron car, there is also a bucket car in tow, and I don't know what it contains.

The train was approaching.

Kutch felt more and more that something was wrong.

He quickly surrounded him with men.

Suddenly, the iron hoarding of a bucket truck was lowered, revealing four iron bumps that looked like machine guns.

Two to the left and right of the train, with the muzzles pointing outward.

Behind each iron bump, there stood two Chinese in black cloth robes, looking at them expressionlessly.

"I advise you not to go near this train." Chen Jianqiu appeared on the roof of a carriage and shouted with a grin at Kuqi, "Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" ”

Couch froze.

He looked at this person familiarly, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"President, I'll take someone on the train, grab the train, and take the train over? What do you think? The pigtailed man said on a whim.

Kuqi was looking at Chen Jianqiu in a daze.

Chen Jianqiu made a gesture of stabbing a fish at him.

Kutch was stupid.

Isn't this the same Indian I met on the riverside before? How did you become Chinese now?

Countless thoughts flashed through Kutch's mind in an instant.

When the final one freezes in his mind.

Kuchi scolded:

"Damn, these guys cheat!"
