America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 162 Fierce Battle at the Staircase

Pile is a relatively determined person, but the current situation still makes him a little crazy inside.

He counted the number of people, including the deputy who was fighting at the stairs, there were only seven people still standing on his side, including Chen Jianqiu, who was holding a gun in the back.

At the peak of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department, he had as many as forty law enforcement officers who could hold guns, which was almost as large as a small army.

But now when something happened, the gun just fired, and there were only six people left around him!

"Damn it!" Piler slapped his thigh hard.

"Okay, don't feel sorry for yourself. Don't think about it. How can you afford to support police officers No. 30 and 40 with your usual salary? Where do you think their usual income comes from?"

Chen Jianqiu knocked out another gangster who dared to expose his head from the bunker with one shot. There were only two bullets left in the Remington revolver.

"Do you think these people came to be law enforcers because of you? After killing a few criminals and being praised a few times, you really think you are the savior of Lincoln County and the star of western alert?"

Pile was choked and couldn't say a word, but Chen Jianqiu had no intention of sparing him. He emptied the magazine and killed the two unlucky guys at the door.

"If these people from outside dare to come, it means there must be something wrong with you internally. Otherwise, how dare you surround the police station with these crooked things? I guess the whole Lincoln County knows about it, you just don't know."

"That's enough!" The furious Pilot raised his gun and fired a shot outside the courtyard gate, but he didn't hit anything.

Chen Jianqiu knew that there would definitely be no bullets for this conceited police chief. He patted Miles on the shoulder in front of him:

"Hey, brother, do you still have bullets?"

Chen Jianqiu's several shots just now were seen by the young police officer. Every time he shot, there would be screams or someone falling to the ground.

Compared with his incompetent and furious commander, he made a judgment.

So, he silently took off the bullet belt, planned to dig out the bullets from it, and handed it to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu took the ammunition belt directly and glanced at Miles: "Don't be stunned and go find the gun. Do you really want to squat here and use it as my ammunition box?"

Miles woke up as if from a dream. He bent over and moved quickly towards the interrogation room.

The mole Hammond's gun is still there.

At this time, the gunshots gradually became sparse, and the pressure from the entrance of the yard was also much smaller.

The forces on our side in the field each have their own plans.

Reddy Thomas and his gangsters were invited, and when the lawyer rushed to his territory to find him, he was sitting by the campfire eating a leg of lamb.

His reaction changed drastically within five minutes.

Lawyer: "Fred was caught."

"Oh." (None of my business)

Lawyer: "He said you were his good brother."

"Yeah~" (None of your business)

Lawyer: "He and a dozen of his men were imprisoned in the police station, so I hope you can rescue him."

"Oh?" (Great, his farm is mine now.)

Lawyer: "His remaining dozens of cowboys are preparing to set off in the ranch, but they are too far away, so I hope you can take action first."

"This~" (It's a pity, it's such a pity, this guy has become stronger and there are so many people, but that guy Pile is not that easy to mess with.)

Lawyer: "We have internal agents in the police station, and most of the people have collected the money. When the time comes, the internal agents and external agents will work together, and it will be very easy."

"..." (He hesitated, because he didn't want to kill anyone, and he didn't want to pay for the bullets.)

Lawyer: "After the matter is completed, he will give you James and his own ranch in the Wali Valley. I will guarantee it!"

"Brothers, copycats, whoever touches my brother Fred will touch me! Paile can't fucking do it either!"

As a result, a group of people swarmed toward the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office like locusts.

But unfortunately, due to the bias in information, after killing two police officers on duty at the entrance of the police station, a group of people searched for a long time but could not find where Fred was being held.

Until someone with eyesight saw Pile walking out of Chen Jianqiu's room in the opposite yard.

"Stop rushing, just surround the yard and fire your guns. If you can hit every one, count them all."

After several people died, Reddy gave the order.

He ripped off his wanted poster from the bounty list and tore it into pieces.

The opponent's shooting skills are somewhat accurate, but the opponent's bullets will always run out. There is no need to risk his life for Fred inside, as long as the intention is met.

After all, in the West, whoever has the most people speaks the right words. If Fred comes out, I still have to save some strength to demand payment from him.

Let Fred and his men do the work of consuming the bullets of the Sheriffs.

The Pinton detectives in the tree had no intention of shooting.

The order they received was to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, and then appear at the right time, or take advantage of the chaos to capture the Chinese who was locked up inside.

The detectives from Reddy and Pinkerton were in no hurry.

The person who was most anxious was Fred.

At this time, he and his ten or so men were blocked in the basement by several guns.

He originally thought that Reddy Thomas' men would rush in with lightning speed and rescue his own people.

Unexpectedly, from the first gunshot to now, he didn't see half of Thomas, but not a single bullet was missing from upstairs.

Damn it, I knew Thomas wouldn't do his best, and now the only one I could count on was myself.

In the desperate situation, Frey burst out with unprecedented bravery. He didn't care about the pain in his head and rushed forward with the gun in hand.

"Brothers! Charge with me! There are many of us, and there are not many people above them!" he shouted, "Whoever charges first gets two hundred dollars! The second one gets fifty dollars!"

Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. A bearded man roared and rushed up the stairs.

The buddies who were huddled under the stairs and firing empty guns at each other upstairs followed behind with guns in hand, and several people also squeezed in.

The first one is a strong man, but the strong man may die, and the second one will become the first one, and the fifty US dollars may become two hundred US dollars.

The Sheriff's deputy on the first floor was staring intently at the bottom of the stairs. When one appeared, he shot and killed one.

But the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps suddenly came from the bottom of the stairs, and then the deputy saw not one, but a group of people rushing up from below.

"Quick! They are coming."

The deputy pulled the trigger and shot the bearded man who was the first to rush.

The bearded man was shot in the chest, and his body froze for a moment, but as the first person to stand up and compete for the one hundred dollars, this guy was extremely brave, and he walked up to the corner in two steps.

Two more shots hit him.

There were two more holes in the bearded body. He took two steps back and sat down with his back against the corner, leaving a long trail of blood on the wall behind him.

The brother holding the gun behind him took the opportunity to raise the gun and hit the deputy who was pushing the lever with one shot.

But he was also hit by the fourth gun above and collapsed on the stairs at the corner.

The deputy rolled down the stairs, armed with his gun, and rolled next to the body of his killer.

In just a few seconds, three people were dead on the stairway. Fred's men were not afraid of death, because as long as the people in front died, they might become the recipients of the two hundred dollars at any time.

The man who came up from behind picked up the rifle that fell on the ground, shot upward, and hit one, who was then killed by the remaining guns on the first floor.

Ten seconds later, only one police officer was left blocking the stairs on the first floor, and several bodies were already lying on the stairway.

The police officer's rifle at the top of the stairs was out of bullets.

He didn't have time to reload, threw away the rifle in his hand, and took out the revolver from his waist. Unexpectedly, a prisoner below stepped over the corpse on the stairs and rushed up with a big stride.

He threw the police officer to the ground and choked him violently with both hands.

"Hahahahaha, these two hundred dollars belong to me!" He opened his bloodshot eyes and laughed crazily.

The police officer felt that his whole body was being squeezed tightly, and the prisoner's hands strangling his neck became tighter and tighter like iron vices. He felt that he could no longer breathe, his eyes blackened, and he fainted.

The prisoner was about to stand up when he suddenly heard a gunshot and lost consciousness permanently.

His Tianling Cap was shattered by a bullet, his brains and blood burst out, and his body fell forward like a pile of mud.

And right behind him, the man who was pleased to win the second prize of fifty US dollars also received the same prize as the first prize just like his predecessors.

A bullet.

No matter whether you are first or second place, you will be treated equally.

At this point, Chen Jianqiu thinks that he is fairer than Fred.

The pressure from the direction of the courtyard door decreased, and Chen Jianqiu noticed the movement on the stairs.

"No, the stairs are about to be lost."

Chen Jianqiu rushed towards the stairs quickly. Paylor also realized this, and he and Miles, who had found the gun, quickly followed.

The people behind were still rushing up, but one after another they were targeted by Chen Jianqiu and Pailer who were guarding the stairs.

The pile of corpses at the entrance of the stairs accelerated the cooling of the blood of Fred's men, and they quickly wondered whether reinforcements were coming from the other side.

So no one rushed up again. They all hid under the stairs on the first floor, not daring to show their heads.

"What are you looking at? Drag that brother behind you quickly." Chen Jianqiu pointed at the unconscious police officer and said to Miles.

"You guys stay here." He turned around and ran towards the corridor.

Pile suddenly realized that he seemed to be commanded by a wanted criminal. He turned around and was about to ask Chen Jianqiu, "What are you doing?"

Chen Jianqiu's voice has been heard:

"Stop looking around! Please keep your sights on the stairs!"

"I'm going to let James and Emily go! The battle on the ranch isn't over yet!"
