America 1881: Legend of the West

Chen Jianqiu had slept with his clothes on most of the time before, but today, he rarely took off his clothes.

He thought he could have a good night's sleep.

He picked up his leather jacket, put it on himself, and walked out of the door.

There was chaos outside, and several Vaughan soldiers ran past Chen Jianqiu with guns and torches. They were scurrying around the barracks like headless flies.

"South! South! Come up to the wall quickly!" Vaughn's head appeared on the top of the wall, and he shouted at the soldiers, "Come up quickly!"

At this time, some soldiers had gathered on the south wall. They stood in a row, leaning on the outside of the top of the wall, and pointed their guns at the outside of the wall.

"Whizzing."

Chen Jianqiu suddenly heard the sound of arrows cutting through the air coming from the south.

He looked towards the direction of the city wall, and arrows kept appearing in the direction of the wall. They were all shot from different directions, from bottom to top.

Some of them hit Vaughan's soldiers directly. Two unlucky guys were hit by arrows. One was shot in the shoulder, and the other was shot directly through the neck. It is estimated that he will not survive.

Some hit the top of the wall, making the sound of collision between hard objects. Most of them were blocked outside the wall, and only a few fell on the top of the wall.

Others either shot too high or shot crookedly, directly over the top of the wall and flying towards the inside of the wall.

A stray arrow that had lost its direction streaked across the night sky, heading straight for Chen Jianqiu's direction.

Chen Jianqiu turned his body slightly to one side, and the arrow flew past his shoulder. The arrow hit the adobe wall behind him, carving a small hole in the wall, and then fell to the ground.

Chen Jianqiu picked up the feather arrows on the ground and began to observe them.

He seemed to have seen this kind of arrow somewhere.

"This is an arrow from the Nahua people. The craftsmanship is similar to ours."

Chen Jianqiu looked up and saw Geronimo standing in front of him.

After hearing the noise outside, he walked out of the house immediately.

Chen Jianqiu looked at the arrow in his hand.

If you want to attack a strong fortress guarded by dozens of armed soldiers with this thing alone, it is really difficult. The purpose of these Nava people should be just to harass.

Until this group of people can't stand it anymore and leave here collectively.

It's hard to imagine that this kind of battle between them has probably lasted for five years.

As a result, Vaughan and his soldiers are still here, and Nava's rebels are still hiding in the wilderness.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of arrows outside stopped, and then the soldiers' gunfire gradually stopped.

Vaughn climbed down the ladder, looking tired.

He glanced sideways at Chen Jianqiu and Geronimo who were standing at the door of the house, and shouted at them angrily: "What are you looking at? What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?"

Chen Jianqiu didn't show any sign of anger. He looked at Vaughn's unhappy face and felt a little funny for no reason.

"Aren't the Nahuas almost dead already?" Chen Jianqiu teased, weighing the arrow in his hand, "I don't think they have any decent firepower."

"These people came out of the ground. Are you satisfied?" Vaughn's anger was completely ignited. "The Indians on this continent are all yellow-shelled cockroaches that cannot be crushed to death. There’s no end to the killing!”

"Who are you calling a cockroach?" Before Chen Jianqiu moved, Geronimo next to him spoke.

"Do you understand English?" Vaughn was stunned for a moment.

"Not only can I understand English, I have also dealt with countless white scumbags like you." The muscles in Geronimo's arms tensed up, and the veins on his temples were beating faintly, and his whole figure looked like he was full of energy. The bow will be shot at any time.

Vaughn was a little panicked and put his hand on his waist.

The soldiers around Vaughn also felt something strange, and they surrounded him with guns and torches.

Chen Jianqiu's hand dropped. His gun was placed in the room, but there was still one in the leather jacket he was wearing.

After the last duel with the old mayor, Chen Jianqiu understood a truth: as long as it does not affect his own actions, the more guns the better.

Two guns are not enough, at least three.

You can see one, but you may not see the last one. You may never see the last one, but when you see it, it will definitely be when you die.

He heard a noise in the house behind him and knew that the people in the house might have been leaning against the window or door with guns in hand.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the window of the room next to him again.

A piece of gun barrel quietly stuck out of the window.

Camilla is ready.

"What's going on? So noisy?" Holmes wrapped himself in a blanket and walked out of the house. He looked at the tense sides with a confused look on his face.

When Vaughn saw Holmes, his livid expression softened slightly, but he still had no intention of letting the soldiers leave.

Holmes began to act like a good old guy and stepped between Geronimo and Vaughn:

"Okay, okay, from now on we are all colleagues, don't be like this, don't be like this." He advised Vaughn.

Vaughn thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and waved to the soldiers behind him, telling them to go back to their respective barracks.

"It's all gone, it's all gone!"

Chen Jianqiu's hands closed the jacket he was wearing.

There was another noise in the room behind him, and on the other side, the barrel of Camilla's gun by the window also disappeared.

Vaughn didn't know that he had just escaped from hell. He spat into the ground and walked toward his house in frustration.

"Sorry, Chen," Geronimo walked to Chen Jianqiu's side and said softly.

He knew that if there had been a fight just now, Vaughn would definitely die.

However, no one can predict this kind of encounter. There is a high probability that it will cause casualties, and the subsequent impact is also unknown.

"Nothing in this world is 100% sure." Chen Jianqiu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Everyone has his own bottom line. In this regard, you and I are the same."

"Some troubles can be avoided by hiding." He looked at the place where Vaughn left.

The next morning, Holmes walked into Vaughn's barracks.

When he was about to follow Chen Jianqiu's instructions and ask Vaughn to take his people to explore somewhere farther away.

Vaughan spoke first.

He sat on the broken chair with his legs crossed, completely losing the respect he had the day before:

"Mr. Holmes, as the security chief of the area and your protector for the next period of time, I feel it is necessary to remind you as soon as possible that your bodyguard team is unreliable."

"They are Indians, impulsive, savage, and capricious. I suggest you send them away now." Vaughn paused, "Including your assistant."

"But he is Chinese." Holmes looked puzzled.

"They are all the same. Judging from their skin color, they have the same traits."

Holmes was stunned: "I didn't expect you to have such a prejudice."

"No, no, no, this is not prejudice, my husband, this is a fact. You saw it last night. Your team almost used force with me." Vaughan became angry when he thought about this.

"But..." Holmes wanted to retort.

"No buts! Mr. Holmes! I respect you because you are a knowledgeable person. What happened yesterday proved that you cannot manage your team well! I also want to remind you, don't forget your own identity! "Vaughan emphasized his tone.

"What about my work today?" Holmes glared at Vaughn.

"Don't worry, my soldiers will take you there. They have been drilling part-time for these years, and they are all first-class skilled drilling workers." Vaughan was not ashamed, but proud.

"I can't do my job without an assistant!" Holmes sat down opposite him. Of all the people here, he only believed that Chen Jianqiu could guarantee his safety.

"Mr. Holmes!" Vaughan raised his voice again.

However, the geologist was unmoved and sat there angrily.

Vaughn was helpless and had to compromise: "Okay, but you can only take him alone!"

Holmes returned to Chen Jianqiu's house and told everyone what happened.

Geronimo frowned, and everyone present started talking.

Even a fool can see Vaughn's malice, but the extent of his malice is unknown.

"How about we just find an opportunity to escape." Sean put forward his own opinion, "Sooner or later we will run away anyway."

Chen Jianqiu ignored him and whispered something to Geronimo.

Geronimo's brows furrowed even more tightly: "No, no, it's too risky for you."

Chen Jianqiu looked into Geronimo's eyes and tried to convey confidence to him.

Geronimo finally chose to nod.

"OK, then it's such a happy decision." Chen Jianqiu turned to Holmes, "Go and tell Vaughn. If you agree, I will go with you. If you are worried, Vaughn can follow you in person."

Vaughn heard Holmes' request for him to go with him, and he was eager to keep an eye on the geologist to prevent him from slacking off in his work.

Half an hour later, the team looking for crude oil was ready to go.

The entire team brought six carriages, one was loaded with a pile of materials for camping, one was loaded with a pile of wood and several precious barrels of water, one cart pulled a pile of coal, and the remaining three were loaded with A bunch of iron lumps.

"What is this?" Holmes pointed at the big steel thing on the carriage.

"Steam drill!" Vaughan raised his head high, which is the pride of industrial civilization.

"You've been digging holes around here for five years with this thing? And then you found nothing?" Holmes snorted from his nostrils.

Vaughn was a little embarrassed. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to pretend to adjust his hat.

So the exploration team left the stone bunker in a mighty manner,
