America 1881: Legend of the West

Chen Jianqiu rode on Black Radish and looked at the town entrance that was bombed into ruins from a distance.

It was quiet now, no groans, no shouts, just the "crackling" sound of burning wood.

What he had told Browning before was to include those who were still being chased by the cattle and the "provisional" Ku Klux Klan who had fled in advance.

It was not that he felt pity for the small town residents who were in trouble, but for the time being he planned to allow Browning's gun shop to continue to be located here.

Now that these bastards are dead, who will sell the guns to? Who are the people sent by Zhang Danian to protect?

As for Thomas and his direct descendants, they must die.

When you come out to hang out, you have to keep your word.

It's just a pity for the carriage and the two horses.

"Chen, why don't you go clean up the battlefield? I haven't seen the bodies of Thomas and the mayor. I can't believe they are dead. One of these two people is a cockroach who survived Gettysburg, and the other is a striper. Old fox."

Danny asked as he adjusted his saddle behind him.

Chen Jianqiu just told them the specific situation. When Thomas was mentioned, Danny suddenly remembered something.

He knew Thomas and they had served together in the Confederate Army.

This man was notorious when he was in the Confederate Army and was extremely arrogant. The only time the two met was during a battle in the Civil War. Thomas thought that Danny's artillery fire cover was not adequate, so he led a group of men to attack the enemy.

Then his jaw was knocked off by Danny and he limped out of the artillery camp, but this man continued to lead the soldiers into battle the next day like nothing happened.

He didn't quite believe that Thomas could die like this.

"Have you heard of LeBron Jordan?" Chen Jianqiu asked suddenly. This was the name of the mayor, and Browning told him.

Danny recalled it and shook his head. He never remembered it.

Chen Jianqiu nodded. He didn't expect to find the answer from Danny. The name was obviously a fake one.

"Thomas will have someone to take care of him." Chen Jianqiu picked up the reins, "As for the mayor, he will come to us."

……

Thomas felt like he was going to die. One of his arms had lost consciousness and was still bleeding out.

Ten minutes ago, when he saw two horses frantically dragging an unmanned carriage rushing over from the shadows, he had already realized that the end was coming.

His men were dead and wounded, and the remaining ones who had regained consciousness were preparing to escape like him.

No one can stop this explosive-laden carriage.

Years of experience in surviving on the battlefield made him immediately throw himself down behind a moaning wounded man.

He used the man's body to block his own torso.

The shock wave of the explosion and the remaining iron projectiles on the car came from the sky and covered the earth.

Thomas felt like his insides were about to burst, and there was a sharp pain in his calf.

My mind felt dizzy again.

When he regained consciousness, the scene was filled with smoke and silence.

Thomas did not dare to speak directly and lay there pretending to be dead. He was afraid that the devil on a black horse would follow the sound and shoot him from behind the thick smoke.

But nothing happened.

Thomas's hands groped on the ground, and he found a broken log that had been blown to the ground.

He found that his injured calf could still move, so he ignored the barbs on the broken wood, held on to the wood, and stood up with all his strength.

His strong desire to survive made him burst out with amazing strength. He held the broken log with one hand and dragged his half-broken body towards the house that was not burned.

He moved tens of meters forward with difficulty against the wall. That half of his body could no longer bear the weight of his body. His supporting leg gave way and he fell to the corner of the wall.

"MD, Joseph, you bastard, you tricked me, I'm going to kill you, MD." Thomas leaned against the wall, breathing heavily and cursing.

This damn Virginian somehow became the mayor of the town and lied to himself that he could find everything he wanted when he came here.

Yes, he gave the gun; he also gave the man.

But he didn't tell himself that there were a few crazy people of color here.

He didn't expect these people to be so powerful in combat.

Damn Lincoln, damn Andrew Johnson, damn the politicians, damn the guys who let these people of color in.

While Thomas was still leaning against the wall and cursing, a white horse appeared in front of him.

A woman in a dark red dress jumped off the horse.

Thomas couldn't see her face clearly, but a glimmer of life ignited in his heart.

"Hey, girl! Help my girl!" Thomas shouted at the woman with all his strength, "I am a resident of this town, Mayor Jordan can prove it to me."

But when the woman approached, Thomas' pupils dilated.

Only then did he see clearly that the reason why the woman's skirt was dark red was because it was stained with blood.

The next second, he was speechless.

A dagger slashed his throat, and he lay limply on the ground.

After confirming that the target in front of her was dead, the woman took out the reward warrant from her clothes and compared it with his face.

She took a piece of cloth from the horse, wrapped Thomas' body in it, tied it tightly with a rope, and placed it on the horse's back.

The woman got on her horse, glanced in the direction of the barn outside the town, and hesitated for a moment.

But in the end, she turned her horse around and left the town.

……

The next day, the residents of the town opened the doors of their homes anxiously. They experienced a frightening night last night.

They hid in their houses, listening to the gunshots and explosions outside, praying for dawn to come soon.

But the scene outside the door still exceeded their imagination.

There were corpses covered in white robes lying on the street, and there were even a few bulls wandering around blankly.

Many people had a few people lying on the ground groaning in their yards. They knew these people, and some of them were their neighbors.

When the confused people came to the town entrance in twos and threes, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

It was like a war was going on here. The houses along the street were blown to pieces and burned down; the ground was littered with corpses and mutilated limbs. Some of the corpses whose faces they could still distinguish, some they didn't recognize, some they didn't recognize.

The ground has turned into pitch black; there are a few remaining fires still burning, and the air at the entrance of the town that has been burned all night is still warm.

Residents then received another shocking news.

The mayor is missing.

The mayor, who was supposed to appear in time to stabilize the overall situation after such a night, not only did not appear in front of the townspeople, but disappeared inexplicably, and disappeared with him, as well as the town's judge.

The residents were panicked for a while, and everyone was a little at a loss.

At this time, Mr. Browning, who currently holds the most guns in the town, stood up. He calmed everyone's emotions and worked with the residents to clean up the mess on the streets.

The townspeople unanimously supported Mr. Browning as their new mayor. Although he had not been here long, he seemed to be a very reliable and capable man.

But Mr. Browning politely declined everyone's kindness. In his words, he was just a businessman, and businessmen should do business.

But under his urging, the "highly respected" former Sheriff Sigmund Cohen became the new mayor.

According to Browning's description, Mr. Cohen was fearless in the face of danger last night and led the hired gunmen to resolutely fight the incoming Ku Klux Klan, thwarting their attempt to raze the town to the ground and preventing them from attacking local Jews and others. Violation by the townspeople.

Only the proud Sigmund knew that he had exchanged all his property for the Chinese man wearing a cowboy hat to become the mayor.

No matter what, the money was already stolen by the Ku Klux Klan, and his head is still around his neck.

everything will be fine.
