2024-04-29 21:03:13But in retrospect, this afternoon's pursuit and ambush was full of strangeness.
Henry felt that the gangsters deliberately lured the main force of the police station out to encircle and annihilate them.
Robbers are all out to make money. How can any of them specifically ambush police officers or kill them?
Brian and the others did not escort any valuable goods.
Wouldn't the gangsters be offending the American police system to death by acting like this?
Even if this ambush is successful, they will probably be trapped in an endless hunt.
So, this is all very wrong.
Henry felt that he should do everything possible to enhance his strength immediately.
At the same time, about 15 miles away from Henry, a group of eighty-six heavily armed cavalry were galloping towards Frisco.
Jack, the blond knight in charge, was about 40 years old and tall. A burn scar the size of a baby's hand on his left cheek turned his originally handsome appearance into a terrifying one.
At this time, Jack frowned and said to Gallagher, a 30-year-old black-haired and white-skinned Irishman who was half a body behind him: "Michael didn't show up half an hour after the appointed time. According to With his usual arrogance, with great style, he may have led a team to ambush Brian and the others alone."
Gallagher's face was gloomy. As Michael's cousin, he knew how unruly Michael was.
According to the information he learned, Sheriff Bryan was a famous sharpshooter in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. After the defeat, he had no choice but to hide his name and stay away from home to work as a bounty hunter. By chance, he became the Sheriff of the small town of Frisco.
Especially since Brian is only 38 years old this year, he is in the prime of his life.
Dear Lord, please don’t let anything go wrong with Michael. He is the last male in this branch of the family...
Gallagher prayed silently in his heart.
Henry finally tried to collect an Appaloosa horse near the bandit leader, but was unable to collect it.
It seems that space cannot collect creatures.
But three of the gangster's horses were killed, and he put them all into space.
Henry rode his horse ten meters away from a black poplar and dismounted. Then he walked to the side of the black poplar facing away from the road and sat down with his back.
He took out his Patek Philippe gold pocket watch and looked at it. It was 3:31:28 in the afternoon.
Then, his thoughts focused on the "+" sign behind the LV1 of the constitution that had just lit up.
A warm breath appeared out of thin air, wrapping his whole body and making him intoxicated instantly.
A lot of practicing experience with various rifles, especially the Winchester 1873 lever rifle, appeared out of thin air in my mind.
What followed was a lot of hands-on experience shooting a double-action Colt 1878 pistol quickly drawn from its holster.
Finally, there is a lot of experience training various horses, driving them by lassoing and riding them in various road conditions.
When Henry woke up, the time on his pocket watch had passed exactly three minutes.
It seems that the time for instilling experience is one minute each time?
The constitution on the panel has changed to LV2, and the improvement process consumes 40 gray beads.
Henry now only has 2 first-level gray release beads that are unused, 5 empty gray bead shells, 5 empty white bead shells, and 2 empty green bead shells.
Among them, the white beaded empty shell can withstand rifle bullets.
The green-beaded empty shell can withstand machine gun bullets.
At this time, Henry felt that he had been practicing shooting various rifles for twenty years and was familiar with various rifles currently on the market, especially the Winchester 1873 lever rifle. He was confident in using this rifle. Make headshots with fixed target guns within 400 yards, and the hit rate can exceed 80% if the target is moving.
By the way, Brian's Winchester 1873 rifle is still a refined "one-thousandth" version. It is a high-end limited edition with the most accurate barrel, adjustable trigger, and carefully polished metal parts.
Using this rifle, Brian can even accurately harvest heads within 500 yards.
1 yard is 0.9144 meters, 500 yards is 457.2 meters.
Among the continuous weapons of this era, it is already the sharpest.
No wonder Henry found that at least thirty corpses were shot in the head by 44 bullets during the process of searching for the corpses. It is estimated that most of them were killed by Brian.
Unfortunately, he fell into an ambush, and in the end he was unable to defeat the four-handed man with just two fists. The hero could not stand up to the crowd, and eventually died together with the gangsters.
As for the double-action Colt 1878 pistol, Henry can now hold the gun with both hands, pull out both guns from the holster in half a blink of an eye and accurately hit a target about 30 meters away.
Equestrian is equivalent to a 20-year-year-old veteran cowboy. He knows the characteristics of various horses well, and his lassoing and riding skills are even more proficient.
Henry took out Brian's "One Thousandth" Winchester 1873 rifle and began to load it one by one, then his own, and finally loaded five more.
Then he took out two Colt 1878 double-action pistols and filled each pistol's six-bullet magazine.
Except for his own and Brian's rifles, all the other guns had their safety on and were ready to fire at any time.
Henry found that the items in the storage space could be stored and stored instantly according to his own wishes. He was god in space and knew everything in space. There was no need to spend time looking for items in space.
Finally, Henry selected three particularly ferocious-looking corpses and put them into space. He tied Brian's body to his previous mount, mounted his own horse, and then gathered the 10 gangsters' horses and drove them away. Return to Frisco.
About 10 minutes after Henry left, the cavalry brigade led by Jack and Gallagher passed through the hills, and they quickly discovered the bodies of Michael and his team.
This made Gallagher burst into tears silently - Michael's male lineage was extinct after all!
Blood debt must be paid with blood!
Gallagher clenched his fists and swore through gritted teeth.
Immediately afterwards, they find the bodies of more than twenty Frisco police officers, but not Brian's.
It seems that the ambush was mostly successful - the Frisco Police Department only has one sergeant and five deputy sergeants, and the other police officers are temporary workers.
"I just don't know whether Brian is dead or alive."
Gallagher said: "I guess the news about our ambush on the Frisco police officer has been leaked. We might as well go to the town to see if we can break in. At least we want to know what's going on with Brian."
Jack nodded in agreement and said coldly: "If Brian is not dead yet, we will force the town to hand him over. This is a personal feud between me and him for eighteen years!"
A group of people rode their horses and galloped towards the small town of Frisco.
At this time, Henry had already driven eleven horses close to the small town of Frisco.
Along the way, there are vast and magnificent scenes of the west. One person and many riding horses stir up flying dust, which further highlights the desolation and heroism of the west.

Henry was carrying his Winchester rifle at this time, and Brian's was placed across the bow of the saddle. He quickly turned the horse's head towards the entrance of the town.The others looked at each other in shock. There were nearly a hundred cavalry with guns and live ammunition!The combat effectiveness of general gangsters is several times that of ordinary people, because they are accustomed to a career of licking blood from the edge of a knife, and their fighting skills are also more skilled.Now that Sheriff Brian has died in the line of duty, and the bailiff, Duncan, is not in the town, others do not have such great prestige to organize the people to resist the gangsters.If each fights independently, the fighting effectiveness of the people will be even lower.What's more, the enemy has already reached us!A feeling of despair grew and spread among everyone.William said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, this is our home.

Henry looked at it and saw that it was indeed full of U.S. dollars. He immediately put everything in the wallet into the space, then took out some chocolates and candies from the space, put them into the wallet, and pulled up the zipper.Then he took off the horse bandit's special single-action revolver, picked up the Winchester 1873 rifle that the horse bandit dropped on the ground, and continued to move forward.With his back turned to everyone, he put the Colt revolver into space and continued to call names with the bandit leader's rifle along the way.After clearing the bullets from the gun chamber with 12 shots, he reloaded the rifle while walking. After more than ten seconds, the rifle started roaring again.Henry has one principle - every horse bandit who falls to the ground must be shot in the neck or chest.The roar of guns, the neighing of war horses, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the strong iron smell of blood all made Henry's blood boil, smelling the smell o

After a pleasant dinner, it was already past 8:30 pm when Henry said goodbye to William's family and returned to his home more than 300 meters away.Henry's home is also a two-story wooden house in the Victorian style, with each floor more than 200 square meters.The first floor is the living room, study, utility room, kitchen and a practice room.On the second floor are three bedrooms and a utility room.There are sandbags, boxing gloves, and two swift swords hanging in the practice room.Although Henry was all sticky now, he was not in a hurry to wash up.He focused his thoughts on the progress bar and panel.[Name: Henry Bruce (Henry Bruce)Level: 2Health: 100%Physique: LV2Skills: Rifle Shooting LV4; Pistol Shooting LV3; Equestrian LV4; Lasso LV4; Boxing LV1; Swift Sword LV1, Swimming LV1, Billiards LV1, Skiing LV1]6.6% of the progress bar is lit.There are still 934 gray beads left to fill up the progress bar and advance to level 3.Below there are 5 empty gray bead shells, 3

It was close to 9 p.m., except for the four bars, all other shops were basically closed, and every house was closed.There are no streetlights in the town. Only some rich people hang a gas lamp in front of their house to provide some light source in the dark.Henry successfully reached the side of Ronald's house. There was also a gas lamp hanging at the door, and the house was also brightly lit.The door to the first floor was ajar, and voices could be heard faintly inside.Are you still busy so late?Henry thought for a moment in the shadows and decided to take action immediately. Maybe the people inside were discussing how to deal with him.As for making a mistake, they can only blame them for their bad luck.After checking the weapons and equipment in the space, he quietly stepped up the steps in front of the house, used his right hand to gently push the door open, and stepped in.The "squeaking" sound of the wooden door opening and closing still alarmed the four people in the hall
1880 King of the Western Chapter 10 Gotta do something
Henry did not consider cooperating with others to snipe the McKinleys' cavalry because his fighting methods had too many secrets and were not suitable for cooperation with others.Besides, these are the targets that he wants to release with his own hands.As for telling the people on the farm in advance, there is no need. Anyway, after the fight starts, they will naturally become alert when they hear the gunshots.Then all that's left is where to ambush these cavalry.Henry is basically not picky about food. Foods rich in vitamin A such as carrots are also common in the United States, so he does not suffer from night blindness.And just now, Henry also discovered that, after upgrading his physique, his vision at night has improved a lot, but he still can't have night vision.This season in Denver, the sunset doesn’t start until eight o’clock in the evening, and the sun rises at five-thirty in the morning. The sunshine lasts for a long time.So Henry could set off around 4:30 in the mo

In the unfamiliar environment, Henry chose to use two green beads with halo and one white bead one by one.As Henry focused his thoughts on using a green bead with a halo, he was suddenly surrounded by a warm atmosphere that appeared out of thin air.Henry found that he was naturally very sensitive to the emotions of others, and surprisingly intuitive, and easily judge the true emotions of others, especially malice towards others.Two minutes later, Henry woke up and found that he had a gift for intuition - the instinct to detect the true emotions of others, especially malice.Intuitive LV1 to LV2 requires the energy of 400 gray beads.Talent warning allows Henry to detect the other side's intentions and actions in advance.The natural intuition can detect malice instinctively, which greatly supplements Henry's ability to prevent danger, and plays a great role in his communication with people.Henry wondered if he had just killed a so-called master.Delighted, Henry went on to use ano

Henry was in no hurry to open the information center. He first rushed to the fourth floor, where there was also an iron door at the landing.Henry loaded his special Sharps 1874 rifle and did the same.In a minute or so, Henry consumed the bodies of the last two sentinels and also knocked down all ten guards on the fourth floor.Henry hurried down to the third floor and walked to the front door of the information center. He took out his master key and spent more than a minute opening the iron and wooden doors. Then he was struck by the rows of files on the iron shelves inside, as well as the large number of filing cabinets.But Henry now has about 19 cubic meters of space, similar to how later generations can bundle and compress these documents into vacuum packaging.The files look spectacular, but iron shelves, filing cabinets and other stationery and spare space take up most of the space.Files may not even take up 5% of the space.He released the remaining 45 barrels of 50 liters o

Nothing else mattered. Henry walked out of the gate, pulled out a quarter horse, and headed for the Pincotten headquarters building in the Loop district of the city center.Now there is about 15 cubic meters of storage space, which is almost enough.But to be safe, Henry turned into the woods by the side of the road and spent about half an hour opening three safes from the black market center and extracting their contents.Without an immediate inventory, Henry recollected the empty safe and moved on.Just over half an hour later, at 1:49 a.m., Henry arrived near his target.The Loop is a circumnavigation area with city Hall, banks, post offices, libraries, art colleges and so on.The Pinkerton headquarters building, which is about 30 meters wide and 50 meters long, is not surrounded by walls, and only has a huge stone box about 20 meters long and eight meters wide in front of the building's gate.It's similar to the New York branch that was destroyed, except the guard post here is a s

When Henry ran up to the fourth floor, he found that all but two rooms were largeOutside, the doors to the rest of the rooms are open.Henry pulled out his Sharps rifle and fired at the door locks of both rooms.After three shots each, the locks on both doors were violently shaken open. Henry ducked into one of the rooms and gathered up a large safe with a base 1.5 meters square and a height of about two meters.Henry then ran to the next room that was opened, and found that this should be Morrison's office.After tapping and hammering for a while, he opened a dark room behind the tapestries and took away a safe one meter square and about two meters high.It took Henry three or four minutes from the time he got upstairs to the time he was done. Henry opened a window facing the back yard, took out a hook and fastened it to the corner of the large, heavy oak desk in the living room, jumped out of the window and began rappelling down.Ten seconds later, Henry was safely down on the grou

Every time Henry fired two shots, he switched positions and fired two more.Three seconds later, Henry emptied three rounds of.44 bullets, knocking out all 32 guards who were not hiding."God, the devil sees us clearly!""This is the devil, God, save your people!""Black, what's the matter with you? Hold on!"In the sound of wailing, Henry pulled out of space two 5-pound TNT cartridges with a 2-second delay, activated them and threw them behind two obstacles a dozen meters away."Boom! Blow out eight guards.Henry went on to throw four more identical TNT packs, blowing up the eighteen guards who were hiding.The guards in the back yard have cleaned up pretty much, in the last minute or so since Henry came out of the warehouse and hit the back yard.About four minutes have passed since Henry walked out of the club door!As Henry searched for the fallen guards in the backyard, he kept an eye on the two stairs to the left and right of the back door.The stairs on the left side near the w

At this time, there was a loud "boom" inside the machine-gun firing mouth, the whole bunker was violently shaken, and the machine gun was suddenly dumb.Henry then takes out two new charge packs, activates them, throws them at the two extended firing holes, and continues!In a super-reactive state, in just one second, Henry activates all nine charges and throws them into the bunker's nine firing holes.Then Henry turned and sprinted to the other side of the bunker at full speed, while using a gray bead to recover his health, before running out six or seven meters, there was a series of loud booms behind him.Under the continuous impact, "boom" a loud noise, the entire left wing of the club bunker all collapsed.After five or six seconds, Henry stops about twenty meters from the club's right wing bunker, pulls out two identical 5-pound charge packs, unleashing his super talent and throwing them at the machine gun blast and a rifle blast beneath it, then continues on to the next round o

Now, in addition to the 40 or so 5-pound TNT packs, Henry only has 1,260 pounds of TNT left, which is not enough to destroy the building.Henry pushed open the oak door on the first floor of the building and entered the great hall.The right side of the first floor is separated by a square 30 meters ×30 meters warehouse, so the mission hall is only about 30 meters ×50 meters.Similar to the structure of the black market in New York, the center of the hall is a huge bar with an oval length of about 20 meters and a width of about 5 meters, and more than 100 sets of wooden tables and chairs are arranged around it, with time compartments on each side.The official entrance to the warehouse is on the right side of the outside of the building, and it is not possible to cross the hall here.It's 10:12 p.m., past peak black-market hours, so there are only 16 people sitting at a dozen tables.The whole hall was hung with twelve gas lamps, which were light enough to see, but not bright enough.

In this day and age, whether it is bootlegging or mining, or any other high-profit industry, without sufficient private force, there is nothing in the future.So Henry decided to take the first step by setting up his own detective agency.At about eight o 'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark, Henry packed up all his things, climbed back up the fork of a tree some twenty metres away, and after loading all the Sharps rifles here, continued to look through the intelligence files.The dark clouds in the sky disappeared completely, and a meniscus hung over the sky, and the stars shone.Just after nine o 'clock, Henry's keen sense of hearing told him that a large number of cavalry were about to pass.He gathered up the intelligence file and took out a Sharps 1878 rifle and placed it in the fork of a tree.Ten seconds later, a line of nine knights accompanied by a hard-top two-horse carriage appeared at the corner of the path.Under the summer's starry moon, Henry's sharp gaze

But Aaron still can't get down, every day will still sit in the headquarters, just not involved in the specific affairs, more is to control the direction, he usually around 5 p.m., back to the estate in the western suburbs of Chicago.Robert is a workaholic. If he is not on business, he usually doesn't leave the office until after 9 PM.Henry rode around a few hundred meters to observe, and then chose a thick forest of camphor trees more than seven hundred meters from the road.The view is wide and the distance is far enough that Aaron's guards, who pass by every day, should not have come this far for no reason.It's only a mile or so from Aaron's estate.Basically the only people who can walk down this path are people who live on the estates around here.Henry gathered up his horse, climbed on his hands and knees to the thick branch of a camphor tree more than twenty meters high, and fastened himself firmly to the rope.The other two branches near this tree are particularly suitable
