Chapter 31: gunshots
Mitch Freeman is an outlaw who has been in the West for many years. He originally followed his adoptive father. When he was eleven years old, he was spotted by his adoptive father Marcos Freeman in the mine. After twenty years Rimic has been with Marcos to learn how to use a gun and how to kill. Mitch is very talented, so he learns very quickly.
His adoptive father Marcos also liked him very much and gave him a lot of things, money, women and status, which he thought was enough to feed the young hyena, but he was wrong.
What Mickey wanted was the entire Marcos gang.
So one night, Mickey and four henchmen broke into the old Marcos' bedroom when he was drunk, and Mickey personally ended the "father" who had raised him for 20 years.
When Mickey shot and killed Marcos himself, Marcos' eyes went from angry to calm.
Before dying, Marcos told Mitch.
"You will eventually be destroyed by your arrogance."
Then Mickey pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Looking at Marcos' last words, Mickey disagreed. He's young, strong, and hugely ambitious, and he can't figure out why he doesn't.
In the following five years, Mitch continuously intercepted some convoys of merchants through accurate intelligence information. From Ambalino to West Elizabeth, he never missed a dozen robberies, which also made his prestige in the gang reach its peak. , the number of gangs has also been recruited from more than ten to more than twenty.
And the Marcos gang has also changed into the Mickey gang, and the frequent crimes have also put a bounty on others as high as three thousand dollars.
This time, Mickey took a fancy to a migration team, more than 20 vehicles of supplies, plus all the money on them, he calculated that it would not be less than 20,000 US dollars. But his own gang only has more than twenty people, and the other party has more than ten gunmen, so he needs to find another group of people.
So Mickey went to the Odricos gang, which was entrenched near Rest Peak. This gang was famous for its large number of people.
Fortunately, where is the boss of the gang, Colm O'Drisco.
So Mitch and Colm had an in-depth conversation, and the two sides reached an agreement that Colm would provide Mitch with no less than fifteen gunmen, and in return Colm received two thousand dollars in compensation.
More than a hundred dollars a life is a very good deal for Colm. His gang has a large number of people, many of them are roadside gangsters, and he can't name them at all.
So after receiving a deposit of one thousand dollars, Colm selected fifteen gunmen from his group who voluntarily participated in this big event. And finally promised that if the goods were successfully intercepted, then the money received by each person would not be less than 500 US dollars.
Of course, this part is paid by Mickey, and has nothing to do with Colm.
The high amount of US dollars made this group of men very active. Colm randomly selected a dozen lucky robbers to follow Mickey to the campsite of the Mickey gang in Devil's Ridge, ready to intercept the convoy that was about to enter Devil's Ridge. .
After waiting for a whole day, Mickey finally received a report from the spies ahead.
Shell arrived at the camp at 1:30 in the afternoon. This camp is located in one of the hidden Gobi deserts on the trail in the middle of Devil Ridge. There are a large number of tents, several stables, and several carts of food.
Nearly 40 gunmen rested in the camp to prepare for the battle, ready to deal with this big job.
"Boss!" Sher's arrival caused some disturbances in the camp.
In the wooden house in the center of the camp, Mickey and several henchmen were planning an attacking route on a map.
The door was pushed open.
Mickey and the four henchmen looked towards the door, and saw Sher, who had been sent to investigate the movement of the convoy, walk in.
"Boss, the convoy will reach the Twin Peaks Valley of Devil's Ridge at about three o'clock this afternoon."
"Yes."
"Well, Kenny said that he can go to the reserved position now, and then he will be able to launch an attack around 5 o'clock this afternoon and catch them off guard." Sher said excitedly.
"Very well, this vote is very important. There are more than a dozen gunmen on the other side. I hope you can all follow me and survive, and then enjoy the party after the robbery."
The five people in the room happily greeted him, and then Mickey rolled up the map, put on his coat, and walked out of the wooden house.
When they walked outside the wooden house, everyone stood up and seemed to already know what Mickey was going to say. Mickey looked at his subordinates and the dozen or so borrowed gunmen. Mickey felt an unprecedented expansion.
Looking at so many subordinates, Mitch felt that he could accomplish anything.
He remembered the curse that Marcos had placed on him, and he mocked with disdain in his heart, "Arrogant? If you were still alive, you would never see so many subordinates who were looking forward to you."
"Brothers, listen to me, the target has entered the Devil's Ridge, and will enter the Twin Peaks Valley at around three in the afternoon. We are going to go to the ambush place now, and we will confront them when they choose to start camping. Raid them, then crush them."
Mickey paused when he said this, looked at the nearly 40 outlaws in front of Mickey and raised the corners of his mouth gently, and said with infinite temptation, "Then let's enjoy the next carnival!"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, of course they knew what carnival meant, and even the fifteen borrowed gunmen felt the tempting scene in Mickey's language.
It was a beautiful picture of gunfire, cash and women.
"Mark, Dom, Clark, the three of you take fourteen people to meet Kenny, remember to slow down, don't rush, arrive immediately before five o'clock, don't let the team notice, or I'll only ask you! "Mitch said to the three people beside him.
"Don't worry, boss, we will try our best to avoid making noises without your order." Mark patted his chest and assured that the so-called order was the sound of gunshots that lasted for a period of time.
"That's the best. I hope we can all go to the last carnival at the end."
The three of them comprehended and took their No. 14 brother to the predetermined location.
And Mickey took the remaining three brothers and fifteen borrowed gunmen to another place to wait for an ambush.
At that time, Mickey was watching the battle from behind, and the three brothers and fifteen guys launched the first wave of charges. Of course, all three of them were instructed by Mickey to fall behind.
When the two sides fought for a certain period of time, when the fifteen borrowed guys consumed a certain number of people on the opposite side, the brothers on the other side rushed out from the side, and the two sides were caught off guard. Mickey could not think of a reason for the failure.
Looking at his brothers who were leaving one after another, Mickey also took the remaining No. 18 and headed in the other direction.
The routes are all planned. In order to avoid being detected by the convoy's forward spies, Mickey instructed everyone not to approach the convoy before launching an attack, and everyone should hide in the designated bifurcated trail.
When the convoy started to set up camp, it was the horn of the attack. Of course, it was my own side to attack first.
Although Mickey deliberately slowed down, the excited dozens of guys didn't mean to slow down at all, so Mickey arrived at the position ahead of schedule. Looking at his pocket watch, the time is half past three.
The convoy had stopped, the carriage formed a protective circle, and the horses were unfastened and placed in the middle of the carriage, and many tents had been erected in the middle. I don't know if it's an illusion, Mickey feels that the number of carriages does not seem to be as much as the news he got before, but it is impossible for Mickey to see the head of such a huge team at a glance.
Seeing that the tent has been erected not far away, Mickey is using binoculars and a few women and men are walking back and forth in and out of the circle, cooking, all this seems to be no problem.
Mickey also saw a few gunmen patrolling on the outside, but they were a little closer. The three gunmen were chatting in front of a carriage. They seemed to be lazy. I wonder if it was an illusion. Mickey seemed to see those guns. The gun's hand trembled a little.
It seems that the convoy did not enter the Twin Peaks Valley as Mickey expected, but set up a camp outside the valley. The convoy that has already established a camp is very difficult to eat, because the defensive circle is still very reliable because the carriage is surrounded by the city, and the gunmen can An effective counter-attack under the cover of a carriage.
Mickey felt a little irritable, and things didn't go as he planned.
But it doesn't matter, there are only thirteen gunmen on the opposite side, and there is no reason why there are forty gunmen on my side who can't eat this team.
And the biggest wear and tear is borne by the fifteen guys around me. It's no problem if they all die. Maybe I will lose one or two here, but as long as it's not the few confidants and Mickey's valued people. He wouldn't mind at all.
He has decided on this team, he is right.
Looking at the time, more than twenty minutes have passed.
The dozen or so unknown guys around him seemed impatient to wait.
"Boss, let's go."
"Yeah, the convoy is right in front of them. They have at most thirteen gunmen, and we have forty on our side. At most, they will all be gone after one charge."
Seeing that these ignorant guys said something quite reasonable, Mickey felt that it was indeed time, and it would be better to let these dozen people consume it first.
Mickey took one last look at the pocket watch and put it away. At 4:10, he expected his brothers to be at their positions, so Mickey said to the excited cannon fodder behind him.
"Brothers, get ready."
However, just when he was about to call for an attack, a gunshot interrupted his thoughts.
Mickey's eyes widened suddenly, because the direction of the gunshots came from his own position. Then there was a very dense sound of gunfire, at least dozens of guns fired together to make this sound.
The people around them looked at each other, and a dozen guys thought strangely in their minds, 'Didn't you say we should go first? ’
Mickey immediately picked up the binoculars to check the camp more than 100 meters away, and saw that the three gunmen were rolling and crawling towards the center of the camp when the gunshots sounded, throwing their guns.
The men and women of the camp have long since disappeared.
"Ambush!" These two words appeared in Mickey's mind.
"What about the boss." The only confidant and two subordinates around him asked anxiously.
At this time, the remaining few people also guessed that their own people were ambushed, and a dozen people around them gradually guessed something, and some even had an attitude of retreating.
Mickey now has only one choice:
Retreat with the rest of the people, and don't need to support anything. A dozen **** gunmen ambushed twenty gunmen, and the battle will be over by the time he brings people over.
More than 20 brothers were ambushed by more than a dozen gunmen, and now the gunfire is not as dense as before, and his team for many years may have been destroyed by this escort.
So Mickey gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, there are only a dozen of them, so there must be no gunman guards here. You follow me to arrest all those people, they will not ignore these employers, they will definitely spend a lot of money to take them all. Redeem it."
In fact, Mickey had already thought about it in his mind. He would kill everyone he could find later, and the guards would destroy his own team, and he would not be able to make them feel better.
Hearing this, the remaining eighteen people felt the same, so they followed Mickey and launched the horn to charge.
"Rush for me!" Mitch said through gritted teeth.
A dozen gunmen rushed towards several camps not far away.
But it was only halfway through.
'boom! boom! ' The gunfire started again.
And this time, he was by his side. As the gunshots sounded, two people immediately arrived on the way to charge.
"It's a sniper!!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and the remaining dozen people were so frightened by these two gunshots that they stopped immediately and looked around to check the sniper's position.
But in the canyon surrounded by ridges, the sound of gunfire echoed in the valley, and when I looked up, I couldn't find anyone.
'boom! boom! ’
There were two more guns, and the team arrived with two more people.
"Run!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
His statement is correct, because there are no hiding spots here. If you don't leave here, you will be a target for snipers. These two snipers obviously have terrible accuracy.
The sniper hiding at a high place made the remaining dozen people immediately give up looking for the sniper's location, and hurriedly turned their horses and ran in the direction they came from.
Mickey looked at the last confidant who fell to the ground with a broken heart. His face was full of resentment. He angrily raised his gun and fired five shots into the sky, shouting loudly.
"The rat! The bastard! There is a seed coming out!!" He let out a final unwilling roar like a defeated beast.
But no one came out to respond to him, only two shots echoed in the valley.
'boom! boom! ' Two more fell among those who fled.
"Let's go, boss, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." The two remaining subordinates around him were anxiously persuading ~www.NovelMTL.com~, but the two of them didn't speak for a while.
The two of them arrived.
And the others are disappearing one by one in the trail that sprang out earlier.
Seeing that Mickey, the last fallen subordinate, had lost his mind, he kept cursing the two invisible snipers.
But the two snipers at the commanding heights of the canyon seemed to have forgotten him.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two more guns, and the last robber also disappeared around the corner.
Mickey was the only one left in the arena, and he was filled with anger.
His plan failed, this was the first time he failed, and he knew it was the last time.
So he didn't plan to turn around and try to escape, there was a chance when the second shot sounded, but now it's gone.
He doesn't know why the two sharpshooters with sniper rifles haven't killed him yet.
Maybe they wanted to see his performance for a while longer after seeing him roaring like a clown.
Seeing that he cursed for a long time, the other party still did not answer or show up.
Mickey looked forward blankly. The entrance of Shuangfeng Valley was filled with flying yellow sand and looked extremely empty.
Mickey lowered his head and looked at the revolver in his hand that his adoptive father gave him on his eighteenth birthday.
He sounded the last words his adoptive father had said to him.
"You will eventually be destroyed because of your arrogance"
He frowned and looked at the Twin Peaks Valley not far away.
Then Mickey raised the revolver, aimed the gun at his temple, and pulled the trigger.
'boom! ’
Mickey's body fell to the ground from the horse, his body was sideways, and his eyes were directed towards the entrance of Twin Peaks Valley.
The entrance is like two doors, one leads to heaven and the other leads to hell.
