America 1881: Legend of the West

Before Lieutenant Edward received Morris's telegram, he had led his troops in this circle for a long time. He had been to this area before, and he knew that he could find his large troops by going around the cliff in front.

It was important to save your own life first. The Chinese was too powerful, and the horse was like a ghost. One person and one horse killed three of his men in an instant.

Damn the Indians, the damn Chinese, the damn blacks, the damn Morris. If he didn't kill old Robert, the treasure map wouldn't be robbed. If the treasure map wasn't robbed, he wouldn't come to harm me. What a good thing, I was able to join the troops just now. Will I still be afraid of these insects after joining the troops?

So it's all Morris' fault.

Edward continued to curse with his own unique logic. I really didn't know what Maurice, who was lying on his back in the woods with a dagger stuck in his head, would feel if he knew this.

But the sound of whizzing bullets interrupted his thoughts. Without looking back, Edward knew that Chen Jianqiu was catching up behind him.

He no longer dared to fight back, and kicked the horse hard in the crotch with both legs. The horse suffered pain and ran forward desperately.

There was another gunshot, and the lieutenant suddenly felt his arm being bitten by something. He looked down and saw that he had indeed been shot.

Chen Jianqiu tried again to fire the remaining bullets in the magazine, but they all missed. His marksmanship was poor, let alone on horseback.

Although the accuracy was almost meaningless, it already made the injured lieutenant extremely anxious. In desperation, he fired several shots at the back randomly, but they were all deflected.

But this slowed down Chen Jianqiu's pursuit, and the distance between the two did not close for a while.

The two men and two horses chased them to the bottom of the cliff. After going around the cliff, they almost reached the mountain stream.

The lieutenant raised his gun and fired three times, which was a communication signal to the cavalry that they were in trouble.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of horse hooves came from the mountain stream.

At this time, the lieutenant was not panicking at all. He even wanted to deal with the Chinese under the cliff and drag them to his large army.

Until, he looked up and saw two figures appearing on the top of the cliff.

An Indian stood in the wind holding a long bow, while a white man, tied up, knelt down in front of him, weeping in pain.

The Indians are birds, and the white man is his son, little Edward.

"Spare me, spare me." Little Edward lowered his head, trying to get close to the bird's legs like a dog, and kept begging for mercy.

But when he saw his father under the cliff, he suddenly became ecstatic and shouted crazily: "Save me! Dad! I'm here! Come and save me quickly!"

When the lieutenant saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel angry. The veins on his forehead jumped, and he even forgot that there was a person chasing behind him.

He raised his hand and was about to speak.

But his posture quickly froze.

An arrow shot through the air and pierced his shoulder directly.

Different from the last time in Shiquan Town, Feiniao didn't say anything this time. His movements were decisive and quick, and his eyes were as firm as iron.

Blood oozed from the wound on his shoulder again, but Asuka ignored it completely and pulled out the Indian tomahawk.

The lieutenant who was hit by the arrow felt pain in his bones. He held on to prevent himself from falling off the horse and looked up at Ya Shang.

But what he saw below made him feel despair.

The blade of the tomahawk slashed across Little Edward's throat, forming a large gash. Blood gushed out from the wound. Little Edward rolled his eyes and made a gurgling sound in his throat.

The flying bird didn't make him suffer for long, but just kicked him off the cliff. Little Edward's body fell heavily to the bottom of the cliff after falling for a while, with blood covering the surrounding areas.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Old Edward was already crazy. He shot the remaining bullets in his gun at the top of the cliff, tried to break the feather arrow, ran towards the cliff, and took the life of the bird.

But the people behind him would not give him this chance. Chen Jianqiu had already caught up with him. He took out the lasso from his saddle bag, lassoed the lieutenant directly, and pulled him off the horse with a strong force.

The lieutenant fell heavily to the ground. Chen Jianqiu passed by on horseback, leaned over and lifted it up with one hand. He didn't want to drag Edward to death just yet, it would be too easy for him.

When he threw the lieutenant onto the horse, he found that the man had fallen into a coma, but he tied it up and threw it behind the horse.

At this time, the adjutant had led the remaining soldiers to the cliff. When he saw his commander tied to the horse, he quickly ordered the pursuit.

Some soldiers wanted to shoot directly, but he stopped them: "Don't hurt the lieutenant, the lieutenant is still on his horse."

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the galloping cavalry, and then at the top of the cliff.

The flying bird is gone and must have retreated.

The appearance of the flying bird was unexpected. It was not in his plan, but not only did the flying bird appear, the effect was quite good.

He didn't think much about it and directly pinched the belly of the black radish.

Black Radish ran for a long time without any fatigue. He raised his hooves and ran towards the mountain at full speed.

After chasing for a while, the adjutant found that it was almost impossible to catch up with the black horse in front. The horse was carrying two people and was faster than all of them.

Chen Jianqiu and his black radish quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The adjutant now has a headache. He was originally just a miscellaneous adjutant next to Lieutenant Edward. He usually just listened to Old Edward and Little Edward. Now, both of them are gone, and the soldiers behind are looking at him eagerly.

Just when he was considering whether to go into the mountain to search now, a messenger suddenly ran up in panic and reported: "Sir...sir, one of the two brothers we stayed in the camp died, and the remaining one ran away. Come on, our camp was burned down."

The adjutant was shocked. He had no experience in handling this situation. He was now at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"Sir, if you don't go back, the camp will be gone!" The soldier's voice woke him up.

"Withdraw!" The adjutant gritted his teeth and issued the order.

A group of people turned their horses' heads, the rear team became the front team, and retreated.

Chen Jianqiu drove the black radish for a section of the mountain road, and found that he was not following behind. He knew that Xiao En had most likely succeeded.

He slowed down, turned his head and looked at the lieutenant tied behind him. He found that he still had some breath, so he headed towards the cave.

When he arrived at the cave, Asuka was already waiting for him there.

"Is your injury okay?" Chen Jianqiu took the lieutenant off his horse and threw him in a corner of the cave. "You can deal with him. I'll go take care of Sean."

"Hey, no need, I've arrived safely."

Sean and his horse appeared at the entrance of the cave, and behind him sat the old Indian.

"Mom!" Feiniao was ecstatic when he saw the old man. He rushed forward and tried to help his mother off the horse.

"We had to untie the rope first. I was afraid that she would fall off along the way, so I found a rope to tie us up." Sean said as he untied the rope.

Chen Jianqiu cut the rope with an ax, took Sean off the horse, and gave him a big hug.

"Hey, boss, you know, this night and the day, my legs almost broke." Sean stretched his body.

After the explosion in the mountain stream, Edward's troops exchanged fire with Morris's hired gunmen. Sean found an opportunity to slip out and went straight to the cavalry camp.

When he arrived at the camp, he found that there were only two soldiers in the camp, sitting on the edge of the camp talking. One of them was the one with an injured hand.

This made Sean feel much more relaxed. Not only did he rescue Asuka's mother, he also "visited" Edward's big tent and set a fire in the camp.

With the help of the valley wind, the fire became fierce. The two soldiers who stayed behind were busy fighting the fire, shouting and screaming.

So bullets flew from behind, and the soldier with the injured hand fell directly into the fire. The other soldier was so frightened that he ran to report the news.

"As expected of my dear friend." Chen Jianqiu put his arm around Sean's shoulders and said in a disgusting manner.

"Boss, guess what I found in Edward's tent." Sean reached into his pocket.

He took out two gold bars.

"It seems that we can update some equipment." Chen Jianqiu touched his chin.
