America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 313 The real commanding heights of the square

The men sent by Alvarez had not gone far when they encountered the communications troops coming from Ichagre.

After learning that the people who attacked the mansion had been surrounded, Alvarez's nervousness eased slightly.

His eyes were still on the square downstairs, but his mind was moving rapidly.

He thought about how to excuse himself later.

While Alvarez prayed that the fire in the mansion would burn as little as possible, he also hoped that the wedding below would end as soon as possible so that he could allocate manpower to support.

The number of civilians standing outside the square and watching did not decrease, but actually increased.

Alvarez glanced at the crowd and suddenly felt something strange.

"Ramos, why do those Indians look so strange?" he asked the adjutant behind him, pointing to a few people wearing linen clothes and hats in the crowd.

These people were mixed in the crowd and seemed to be passing by, walking through the crowd in their own direction.

"Oh, those people, they are not Indians, they are businessmen from China." Ramos replied.

"The moment he rushes in, I will throw you down. You will see your brother's face for two seconds, and then, bang! It falls to the ground like a bag, and your brains will fly~~ Hahaha."

He took his family, surrounded by a group of soldiers, and left the square behind the church.

Gutierrez was standing with Old Priego, holding a wine glass, and whispered to the attendant beside him.

"Who asked him to stand so high?" Chen Jianqiu replied.

They carried the net through the crowd, and when they arrived at the building, they saw someone falling from the roof.

The groom ran away, so the wedding naturally couldn't go on. The guests stood in the middle of the square, a little at a loss.

Romero, who was beside him, then lost his balance, stepped on the air, and fell from the roof of the building following Alvarez.

But for some reason, he still felt a little panicked?

They quickly wrapped the man in a net and took advantage of the chaos and carried him out of the square along the wall.

Where Chen Jianqiu and Camilla were standing, these soldiers could not notice them.

Gutierrez looked at the leaving figures of the Prego family, turned around and ordered the housekeeper: "Let the madam and the young lady retreat to the church with me."

There was the perimeter guard deployed a few streets away from the central square, and at this time, it was already at war with Sergio.

Just when this young master thought he was going to turn into a meat pie.

They didn't follow up.

Alvarez then turned his attention elsewhere.

"There is a large group of cavalry coming towards the square." The attendant reported nervously, "Captain Alvarez hopes that you can stay away for the time being."

Then, he heard a gunshot.

Just when Li Sifu thought the mission had failed, someone else fell down and fell into the net.

"Ask Alvarez what happened?"

The musician holding the guitar was playing happily. Like the dancing people, he was also intoxicated in his music.

As Alvarez's adjutant in charge of intelligence, he had met these Chinese people in the city a few days ago. Most of them were not talkative, but the leader was very talkative.

He felt that his heart was suddenly hit by something and torn.

He originally planned to use the speed advantage of the cavalry to rush out of the encirclement, but he didn't know why the ambush soldiers suddenly withdrew.

But they soon felt at ease.

The soldiers were looking for the source of the attack.

When the net opened, the man had already fallen to the ground.

He couldn't figure it out.

Severe pain came.

It stands to reason that whether it is the strength of the troops or the terrain, we have the upper hand, and we still have a hostage in our hands.

However, the commanding heights around the square are all under their control, so it can't be an insider, right?

"Isn't it too early to kill him like this? Sergio's people haven't rushed in yet." Camilla put away her gun and asked Chen Jianqiu on the side.

He suddenly saw a net spread out on the ground.

Apparently they were not the only ones in the square to realize this.

At the same time, on the roof opposite the church door, his subordinate was obviously not as confident as his master.

"You go first." Gutierrez said expressionlessly, "Safety is the most important thing."

The crowd of onlookers outside began to commotion, and the dignitaries attending the wedding in the inner circle of the square also began to realize that something was wrong.

The attendant glanced at old Priego next to Gutierrez and hesitated to speak.

Soldiers from the Gutierrez family and the Priego family were densely scattered around the church and on the rooftops around the square.

"To put it bluntly, we are a family," Gutierrez said.

They didn't even leave any personnel to clean up the battlefield, and continued to fight towards the square.

But when he turned his head, he found that the consul was standing motionless.

Then, he didn't know anything anymore.

"If he can't take down Sergio with the troops of the two major families, then he should bury himself first."

He looked towards the roof and found that his guard captain was nervously communicating with the adjutant behind him.

The musician looked at his companions and found that they were also confused.

It sounded like a gunshot.

The Priego family?

He looked around again.

"Maybe it's a feint attack over the mansion, and the main attack direction is here in the square." Adjutant Ramos analyzed, "We just need to hold it back.

He knew well that heavy troops from the Gutierrez family and the Priego family were deployed around the church.

Therefore, it is safer to stay in the square; if you evacuate rashly, if the news is leaked and you are intercepted on the way, it will be a narrow escape.

Old Priego was a little embarrassed, whether he left or not.

Suddenly, he heard something unharmonious in his music.

"Well, Damian, take care of yourself." Old Priego turned around and ran away as if he had been granted amnesty.

"Tell Alvarez I'm in the church and not going anywhere."

The wedding has reached its climax, and the people attending the wedding began to dance happily.

As long as Sergio comes here, this will be his burial place.

The cavalry patrol was not reluctant to fight, but rushed and fought, and soon the theater's defense line was broken into pieces.

He stood behind the statue of the Holy Child, overlooking Gutierrez's soldiers below like headless flies.

"It can't really be that guy Sergio, can it?!" Old Priego stomped his feet and complained, and immediately asked someone to notify his son and family members to prepare to run away.

He pushed the bloodless Romero beside him to the edge of the roof.

It's better for the whole family to be served in one pot, which just saves you the trouble.

Alvarez felt that his adjutant's analysis made sense.

"The more than 100 people at the mansion should be able to resolve the battle soon. When the time comes to come back with reinforcements, Sergio and his cavalry patrol will not be able to survive."

There was a big mess upstairs.

One of Romero's feet was already in the air.

"Holy shit, could you hold your head straighter when you picked it up? I almost fell to death." Li Sifu complained to several members of the Long Xiang group around him.

After a while, the attendant came back with a very ugly face.

Behind him were two groups of heavily armed soldiers.

Sergio had already discovered the people ambushing outside the camp.

Alvarez stood upstairs, glanced at his troop layout, and immediately felt very relieved.

Therefore, when Alvarez's adjutant and soldiers rushed up from behind and looked down, they only saw their commander lying on the ground, blood flowing from his chest, soaking the ground around him.

Alvarez pointed to the ground under the roof, laughing wildly.

Sergio was overjoyed and rushed with his cavalry along the street to the vicinity of the Central Square.

Sergio had clearly gone to attack Gutierrez's mansion, so why did he suddenly appear here?

On the periphery of the theater, they encountered the first wave of resistance.

Alvarez pushed Romero's upper body off the roof, stimulating the young man crazily.

Sergio simply couldn't get in with his own cavalry patrol.

Screams resounded throughout the square, and the onlookers, including civilians and wedding guests, fled in all directions.

Alvarez looked out to where the gunfire rang out.

Because Gutierrez was still standing at the door of the church.

"I looked at it, but it didn't touch the ground." A member of the Longxiang team observed the person they picked up and said with certainty, "I just fainted from fright."

Alvarez's legs could not support his weight and he fell from the roof.

"Hey, young man, did you hear the sound of horse hooves? That's your brother, just two hundred meters away, but unfortunately, he can't save you."

Gutierrez said to the attendant with a livid face,

If the gunshots just now were still vaguely audible, people in the square could now clearly see the dust rising two blocks away.

"It seems that they rescued the eldest lady on the border. Don't worry, there are not many of them," Ramos said.

Because this is the real commanding height of the entire square - the top of the church.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for ordinary people to get up here.

However, this is not a normal situation, and Chen Jianqiu and Camilla are not ordinary people either.

"The prologue is over, the curtain call is over, it's time for the show to begin."
