America 1881: Legend of the West

"Juarez?" Chen Jianqiu heard Holmes mention this city, which is not far from Roswell.

He turned around and started looking for the place on the map.

Soon, he found it.

But when he actually saw the location of this city, he suddenly had a doubt.

"Is this city American or Mexican?"

According to Holmes' map, the city is on the national border, at the junction of New Mexico, Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico.

Within the U.S. border, right next to it, there is a dot called El Paso, which almost coincides with Juarez.

"Actually, these two cities were originally one city." Holmes stood up, walked to the edge of the map, pointed at the two almost overlapping dots, and said to Chen Jianqiu.

"After the Mexican-American War, the Rio Grande was used as the boundary, dividing the original city into two." Holmes put his fingernails on the map and traced the river along the national border so that Chen Jianqiu could See it more clearly.

"The south side of the river belongs to Mexico and is called Juarez; the north side of the river belongs to the United States of America and is called El Paso."

"These two cities were originally located on the Royal Inland Road of the Spanish Empire and were important hubs." Holmes began to popularize the history of the city.

"Royal Inland Avenue? What is it?" Chen Jianqiu felt that the name sounded quite noble, but he didn't know what it actually meant.

"A trade route of more than 2,000 kilometers, connecting Mexico City and Santa Fe." Holmes drew another line on the map as if he were playing connect-a-thon.

Trade routes of the past? Isn't that the current smuggling route?

Chen Jianqiu looked at the "unique" geographical conditions and could roughly guess what the security environment of this ghost place would be like.

The junction of the three states also means that the three states are not too concerned about it. This kind of place is often the place where evil is most likely to breed.

"Let's take a walk?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Camilla.

"Then let's take a walk." Camilla smoothed her hair back, then tied it back into a ponytail.

A few days later the procession for Juárez set off.

Because he didn't know the situation there and how Thiago was doing there, Chen Jianqiu personally led the team.

This time, in addition to killing Thiago, he also had other purposes.

Along with him, in addition to Asuka who was familiar with the border situation, there were also Camilla, Holiday and Rabiot.

The three who spoke Spanish were also the three with the best marksmanship.

In addition, there are the twenty or so people from Long Xiang's group and Li Sifu.

Under Chen Jianqiu's personal training, these people's abilities are far stronger than ordinary soldiers. With their well-equipped equipment, their combat effectiveness is very impressive.

As long as thousands of regular troops don't come over from Mexico, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Chen Jianqiu first went all the way south to the border, and then all the way east along the border, heading straight into Texas.

"Boss, why don't we just go east to El Paso?"

At the border, Feiniao followed Chen Jianqiu and asked the boss who was looking around with some confusion.

Sticking to the border is what he usually does. If he wants to go to Juarez and goes through the formal procedures, there is no need to go to such trouble.

"Feiniao, where do you usually meet people who sneak in?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly asked.

"Well, maybe we have to go a little further ahead, not to the Texas state line." Feiniao searched in his mind, looked around again, and replied.

"Oh? Why haven't I seen these people in Roswell?" Li Sifu blinked at Asuka.

"If you can see it, you've seen a ghost. These people have gone through all kinds of hardships to cross the border. Don't they go to places like Albuquerque and Santa Fe, cross the desert, and come to Roswell to find you? "Holiday chuckled.

He has been traveling along the US-Mexico border and has seen many stowaways. Every stowaway route is often covered with various skeletons.

"I can tell you, there is everything on this border, bad weather, wild animals and..."

Before he finished speaking, several gunshots suddenly came from a distance.

Holiday shrugged: "It seems that I don't need to introduce him."

In the distance, on the other side of the border, there is a blurry place with flying dust.

After a while, two carriages appeared in Chen Jianqiu's field of vision.

One of the two carriages was carrying people, the other was carrying goods, and each had a man driving the trailer horses.

And behind them, closely followed by about ten people.

These men were riding horses, holding guns in their hands, whistling, and shooting at the two carriages.

The drivers driving the carriages were not afraid at all. While driving their horses, they held guns and turned around to shoot at the pursuers.

Neither side seemed to hit the other.

However, there was no existing road where they were walking, and they were obviously forced from their original direction by the people who were chasing them.

This desert is littered with all kinds of gravel, which is not friendly to horse-drawn carriages.

Suddenly, the wooden wheel of a carriage hit a stone and the wheel was raised high.

In an instant, the carriage lost its balance.

The groom who was driving was obviously unable to maintain his balance. He flew out of the carriage and fell heavily to the ground.

The wheels flew off, and the goods on the carriage were scattered all over the floor.

People are overturned and their horses are overturned, cars are crashed and people are killed.

The other carriage obviously could not escape the same fate.

"Feiniao, are all the stowaways you encounter so exciting?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Feiniao.

Obviously, these people are not as simple as smuggling.

Feiniao was still thinking about how to answer, but he saw Chen Jianqiu pinch the horse's belly, Black Carrot raised his hooves, and rushed towards those who were pursuing them with guns raised.

Immediately, Chen Jianqiu had already drawn his repeating rifle.

Camilla waved back.

"Everyone gather, change formations, and meet the enemy!" Li Sifu gave the order.

The Long Xiang group's formation changed, becoming as compact as a diamond, following Chen Jianqiu, rushing forward.

The pursuing Mexican gangsters quickly saw the situation on this side of the border.

They hesitated for a moment whether to continue chasing.

Because they saw from a distance that each of these people was holding a repeating rifle.

Just when they were hesitating, the guns in the hands of Chen Jianqiu and others rang out.

In the first round of gunfire, five or six people were shot and fell off their horses.

The pursuing Mexican gangsters realized that they were in trouble, turned around and ran away.

However, Chen Jianqiu, who was the first to charge, had already started emptying his magazine.

After a brief pursuit, all the Mexican bandits were wiped out, leaving not a single person alive.

Chen Jianqiu led the people back to the place where the pursuit started.

The remaining carriage was parked there, and the coachman stared at them nervously.

The carriage's shaft was broken.

And from the carriage of the carriage, a Mexican with a mustache walked out.
