America 1881: Legend of the West

Chapter 161 Encircled
What is the retribution of the present world? This is the retribution of the present world. If you say the wrong thing, you will be shot when you go out.

Chen Jianqiu also heard the gunshots outside the door. He immediately turned off the gas lamp in the house and leaned against the wall to observe what was going on outside the house.

There is a chaos of war there now.

Sergeant Pilot retreated into the corridor, pressed against the wall, and drew his revolver.

He was looking for where the gun had come from.

In the yard outside, a police officer was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. He was one of the people who had been on patrol just now, but the other people did not know where they had gone.

Two of the police officers who had been guarding the doors of each room died at the entrance of the corridor, and the rest disappeared.

"Miles! Hammond!" he called the names of his men. The two men had been interrogating prisoners in the interrogation room closest to here.

But no one answered.

Paylor looked down the corridor toward the interrogation room.

"Oh!"

The door of the interrogation room was suddenly knocked open, and two people struggled and fell out. Sheriff Peller could tell that one of them was Fred's subordinate and the other was Miles.

Fred's man, a strong man, held Myers firmly under his body and reached for the revolver in the officer's hand.

Miles, who was in a lower position, struggled to resist. He tried to break away from the strong man's suppression, but it was obvious that there was a certain gap in strength.

"boom"

The revolver in Officer Pilot's hand went off.

He hit the strong man accurately, and he hit the head of the strong man. The strong man fell to the ground and was motionless for an instant. The police officer under him broke free and ran towards Chief Pilot with his gun in hand.

"What happened? Where is Hammond?" Pyle asked, looking at his panting men.

"Hammond is an undercover agent! There was a gunshot outside just now. I wanted to see what happened, but as soon as I turned around, Hammond pulled out a gun and hit me. If I hadn't been lucky, the table blocked the shot for me. Just now Just die."

"This, how is this possible?"

Pilot was stunned. He never expected that there would be a traitor in his police force.

However, at this time, three people rushed in at the door of the courtyard. They saw the police chief leaning in the corridor, still in shock.

By the time the sergeant noticed them, it was already too late. The three men had already raised their guns.

It looked like there were three more holes in Peller and Miles' bodies.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Three gunshots were fired.

But it was not the police sergeant who fell, but the three men who rushed into the yard. Two of them were shot in the heart and fell to the ground with a groan. The other was hit in the abdomen and fell to the ground groaning.

"Don't worry, Chief, there will be a lot of undercover agents in your police force, and there will probably be more people cheating on them." A voice came from Pile's ear.

Paile and Miles were startled, and turned around to see Chen Jianqiu squatting beside them.

Miles was even more frightened. He found that the gun in his hand had reached Chen Jianqiu's hands at some point.

"Don't move! Give me the gun quickly." Miles shouted to Chen Jianqiu.

"Shut up, can you take care of your gun next time? The accuracy of your Remington is almost as good as that of the Volcano pistol." Chen Jianqiu obviously had no intention of returning the revolver in his hand.

He turned to Sheriff Pilot: "Where's my truck?"

All his weapons were placed on the cart.

Sheriff Pilot did not speak. He checked his gun and then continued to stare in the direction of the entrance to the yard.

Although Chen Jianqiu had just saved his life, his pride made him disdain to fight with wanted criminals.

Miles, on the other hand, answered honestly: "It stopped outside the yard."

Chen Jianqiu said "hmm".

He turned on the shooter mode, and the situation around the yard instantly became clear in his eyes.

But what surprised him was that it seemed that there were not only a group of people staring at this place.

A group of people blocked the entrance to the yard, all dressed as cowboys. From Chen Jianqiu's perspective, he could see at least five or six of them. Some of them were firing guns at the entrance of the yard, and some were preparing to rush in.

The dress of the other group of people was very familiar to Chen Jianqiu: they were dressed in formal clothes and wearing bowler hats. There were not many people. Chen Jianqiu could see only three or four of them, and they were hiding in several trees around the yard. .

They remained silent, aiming their guns into the yard.

When did Pinkerton arrive in Lincolnshire? Why did these haunting guys show up again?

This is a bit troublesome. It is a bit unrealistic to break through the blockade of the yard with just a broken Remington revolver.

At this time, a series of gunshots came from the basement.

"Block them! Don't let them out!" a police officer's voice came from the basement.

Pile's face suddenly relaxed a lot. This voice was familiar to him. It was one of his deputies.

It turned out that after the gunshots were fired, some of the police officers who had been guarding the door of the room ran away with the patrolling police officers. Two of them stayed on the first floor. The rest were immediately led by the deputy. Went down to the basement where Fred and his men were being held.

They knew that if this group of people came out and took away the weapons, they would be the only ones to die.

Fred, who had a bandage on his head, was most attentive to what was going on outside, even though he only had one ear.

He lay on the template bed and estimated that the lawyer had been out for three or four hours.

Either the bail order signed by the judge would arrive, or Reddy Thomas's men would appear outside the police station. Sure enough, gunshots rang out, and Fred's great moment of escaping prison was about to come.

The worst case scenario was to kill the Sheriff, put a reward on his head, and turn him into a criminal. Anyway, it wasn't the first time a Sheriff died in Lincoln County, and it wasn't the first time Fred started his own business.

The policeman guarding the door opened the door and walked in. He opened the cell door for him without saying a word.

Fred was overjoyed. It seemed that his previous money was not in vain. He grabbed the gun carried by the policeman and rushed out of the door with his men.

The basement is now in chaos. Some of the police officers have escaped. The undercover agent releases his prisoners and fights with the remaining police officers.

Fred rushed to the front with his head half bandaged.

If he had known that the undercover agent on his side was so reliable and the one who received the money was so smart, he would have gone to his "helping brother" to have sex with him and come to save the matter himself.

When the deputies saw the menacing attack from the other side, they gathered the surviving police officers who had not yet rebelled and retreated.

It wasn't until they retreated to the stairs on the first floor that they slightly slowed down the offensive of the prisoners below.

They set up their guns at the top of the stairs. There were only two or three guns under Fred, and the rest were all with their bare hands.

But if the police officers run out of bullets, it will be hard to say.

There are gangsters and Pinkerton outside the yard blocking the door, and there is Fred inside who will attack at any time.

Chen Jianqiu suddenly discovered that their situation seemed to be in a dead end.

Gunfire rang out near the police station, but the residents of Lincolnshire were not surprised. This was not the first day of chaos in the town, and they had long been accustomed to it.

But besides them, other people heard the gunshots.

Sean and Holmes also heard it. They had already met Camilla, Hanif and Donny, and were discussing the departure time on the first floor of the hotel.

They were able to gather thanks to Hanif.

The reason was simple. He was the only one who knew Camilla and Sean respectively. This socialite among bounty hunters once again proved that he was worthy of his reputation. He quickly gathered everyone together.

"There are gunshots outside." Hanif walked to the door.

Camilla and Sean followed out.

"Something seems wrong. The gunshots are very frequent. It's not a simple gunfight." Camilla and Hanif looked at each other. Both of them are experienced bounty hunters, and their judgment of the gunshots is very accurate.

Then, they both looked at Sean at the same time.

As far as they knew, whenever Chen Jianqiu had a night reconnaissance mission, he would send this black man. As long as he could control his desire to "take advantage of the opportunity", the reconnaissance results would often be very good.

Sean felt uneasy when they looked at him. He shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll go. I'll go. It's okay for me to go."

But before long, they saw Sean running back from the night, panting.

"What's wrong?" Hanif asked.

"Boss, something's happened! The Pinkerton gang is here too, as well as many local cowboy gangs. They're besieging the compound." Sean said breathlessly.

"Speak slowly." Holmes also came out.

So Sean told them what had happened to him.

Sean had just followed the sound of gunfire and arrived near the police station. He was walking along the wooden wall of the house when he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the trees above his head. Looking up, he saw two Pinkerton detectives there, aiming their guns at the yard in front.

He walked along the wall of the yard again and saw a cart parked outside the wall, with some groceries on it.

He took a look at the goods on the cart in the dim light, and the more he looked at them, the more familiar they seemed.

He purchased many of them himself.

This is the batch of supplies that Chen Jianqiu brought back, but why is it here now? And why did he change the car?

Could it be that the boss...

Sean didn't dare to think too much and ran back quickly.

"How many people are outside the police station?" Hanif asked anxiously.

"Probably dozens of people."

"Should we discuss and analyze the current situation?" Hanif had just put forward his suggestion when someone next to him moved.

Under the gaze of everyone, Camilla, wearing a dark red dress, had already stepped into the night.

She was running forward, carrying a long bundle behind her. Judging from its shape, it was a piece of cloth wrapped around a long spear.

"Donny, Uncle Holmes, go and tell Geronimo and the others this news first." Sean instructed the two.

He looked in the direction where Camilla was going and said to himself, "Why is she going there alone?"

Hanif nodded thoughtfully: "He should go to save her man."

Sean came to his senses and said to Hanif, "Let's set off quickly too."

He said confidently: "The eldest brother often told me a proverb from his hometown, which is 'Evil deeds last a thousand years.'"

"He always said that he was a nuisance, so it shouldn't be that easy for him to die."
