Chapter 39 Robbery

Seven people, wandering around the small town of Lexington. No one but the Addams family would recognize them. Even if it's from the Addams family, they should only know Babu, and no one else is famous and hasn't been here. So, they don't worry too much about revealing their intentions and whereabouts. The rest of the town thought that the seven were wanderers who had come to the town looking for a place to work. There are more of these people now, and many of them have moved from other places in Lexington in the past six months.

The Adams family's manor district is just south of the small town of Lexington. They occupy a large part of this area, and there is no one living here except them. They chose this place because of the high terrain and the fact that there was a small river outside as a means of defense, and they only needed to build a fence to defend the manor area. Because the security in the colony is not very good, sneak robberies occur from time to time, and the Addams family has a big business, so there is always a family musket team patrolling.

Especially during the day, there are three patrols, cross-patrolling, each with fifteen people. Moreover, the manor could be armed with at least a hundred musketeers, as well as two turrets, each with three three-pounder guns. It can be said that as long as it is not attacked by the regular army, it is impossible to enter it and do whatever it wants.

As far as the seven of them are concerned, if they want to attack, they are undoubtedly looking for death. Even if there is a box cannon at the level of black technology in this era, it is impossible to beat it. But this is also the place where the British colonies are concentrated, and it is impossible for Sholin to send everyone to attack. So, I can only find a way to sneak in. They have to wait until the evening, and it is most relaxing to be active late at night.

The seven of them found a tavern, first, to find a place to rest and discuss the plan of action, and second, to see if they could find out a little news from those drunkards. Unexpectedly, I really heard important news this time. In the afternoon, a man came into the tavern, and everyone called him Peter, the braggart king. Because he said that his uncle was the steward of the Addams family, he knew a lot of the inside story of the Addams family, and often wanted to exchange it for wine.

It's just that most of what he says will be boring trivialities, and slowly everyone won't believe him anymore, and finally call him the braggart king. However, Babu did know that the housekeeper of the Addams family here really seemed to have an unsuccessful nephew who had been out causing trouble for him. Peter came into the tavern and declared that he had great news, and that he would tell whoever invited him to drink, but no one paid any attention to him. Only Babu, who bought a large glass of beer, invited him to sit down.

"Oh, brother, you're the best of the best, do you want to know the news? I can tell you, but you'll have to give me enough beer. โ€

"No problem, as long as you get the news worth, I'll give you a drink. โ€

"Hey, friend, don't let the braggart king fool you, none of his news is valuable. โ€

"your Bruce, you don't believe me, don't bother me. โ€

"Brother, leave them alone, tell me your news, come, your beer. โ€

"Okay, brother, I'll tell you, it's like this......"

The Bรกb and Peter whispered there for a long time, and no one knew what they had said. Eventually, however, the Bรกb walked back to the room in high spirits. James and the others are still talking about a plan of action for the night.

"Hey guys, no more bickering, we can sleep. โ€

"What do you mean, Babu, if you're trying to gloat, I think I'll teach you a good lesson. โ€

"Don't worry, man. Things took a turn for the better, and I heard the news that the Addams family had opened a new mine. โ€

"Open a mine?"

"Yes, Gold Mine. They need a lot of miners, it's too late to buy slaves, and if they are found out from above, they won't be able to keep it. Therefore, they had to transport all the family slaves, including the families of the retainers who had made mistakes, to the gold mines to be secretly mined. When they find out above, they will make a good fortune themselves. โ€

"You mean?"

"That's right, I already know their routes, and that dead drunkard has said everything after a few cups of horse urine. โ€

"Are you sure his message is correct?"

"This has to start with a lace news, his uncle and his mother adultery, which he overheard, the person in charge is his uncle, the fat and lustful fat housekeeper. โ€

"Well, how many convoys are there. โ€

"Fifty people, only muskets, will not carry cannons, disguised as a material transport team, and will set off tomorrow evening. โ€

"This amount, we can deal with it, and run away if we grab someone. Babu, let's study the route and pick an ambush location. Isa, you guys go get your three-wheeled bikes ready, we'll have to use that one to escape, and when we get somewhere to go, we'll be right next to you, and you'll be waiting where you're hiding. โ€

"Okay. โ€

James and Barb begin to discuss the carjacking plan in the tavern room, while the other five men walk out of town and head outside to the place where they have hidden seven three-wheeled bicycles that Shoren has purchased from the 21st century to haul goods. They rescued their families, but they couldn't run away with their feet. The Addams family still had horses, and although they remained in the family with inferior horses, it was easy and pleasant to run over their feet.

A three-wheeled bicycle, capable of carrying five people, including a car, is able to save twenty kilometers of speed for a whole day, and there are not too many requirements on the road, which horses cannot. It's a complete escape weapon. The family members of the five people add up to only fifteen people, as retainers, it is normal to be tired and tired, and they are all middle-aged, their parents have long since died, and only their wives and children are left.

James and Barb didn't stay in the tavern all night. They searched the route for a long time, and finally managed to find a good ambush site. The path passed through a grove of trees, with enough trees and grass on either side of the road to allow the seven of them to hide completely inside. Not far from here is the road back to camp. They put the tricycle in a sheltered place around the corner and covered it with branches.

Run away with the escorts, just run forward for a few minutes, you can board the tricycle and walk to the camp. This position, not too far from the town, guarantees that no immediate reinforcements from the enemy will be drawn, and there will be no situation where they will change their path and the ambush will fail. When ready, James began to distribute weapon bullets. Babu was most excited, he really wanted to have a high-powered musket that could fire continuously, but James was strict, and he could only get by.
