Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

"boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Turning the muzzle, the Hotkiss rapid-fire gun began to roar.

Placed on the edge of a cliff, the rapid-fire gun is really unable to hit the ships in the river at a height below zero.But life can create miracles, especially when life is threatened, so-called miracles are more likely to happen.

The shovels were flying, and several artillerymen dug a few grooves on the edge of the cliff, pushing the wheels of the rapid-fire guns in.After adjusting the cannon body with the head low and the tail high, and determining the angle, they pulled the running rope vigorously at the risk of rolling off the cliff even with the cannon.

The first two shots were empty.

The third shot hit the port side of the ship firmly, smashing a hole that could be clearly seen with a telescope.

The ship that was heading towards the center of the river stopped quickly. After a short stay, it started to speed up and reverse under the barrage of shells, intending to retreat to the shore.The farther you are from the shore, the easier it is to enter the range, and you will be hit by the rapid-fire gun on the cliff.

Seeing this scene, Dai Ping'an took his palm back from the shoulder of the signal soldier who had been shaken to pieces.

"What's your name?"

Under the feet were the weapons handed in by the artillerymen themselves. After some sorting, Dai Pingan picked up a bolt-action rifle from it to check, and asked by the way.This made the signalman, who had slipped away from Death, tense up again, and it took him a while to think of an answer.

"Grant, Ulysses Grant."

"Grant, a good name." As he spoke, Dai Pingan pulled the bolt on, leaned over to the people on the boat below, and asked while aiming:
"You are not soldiers, are you?"

"No, no, of course we are not, we are just the sales and technical personnel of the American branch of Hatchkiss."

"Sales? Technician? Good job."

"Um, yes, please listen to my explanation," Grant, who was dripping with sweat, didn't know how to continue:

"These rapid-fire guns were ordered by Mr. Robinson. They were just for product display. It's also our first time in New Austin. We, we really don't know that we are against you..."

While Grant was speaking, the rapid-fire gun, which had fired several rounds, stopped again.The steamer below had sailed back to the shore below the cliff.

It was dark under the lights. Even if Dai Pingan pushed all the artillery down at this angle, it would be useless unless he could hoist the cannon up and shoot with the muzzle pointing down.At the same time, the soldiers of the search company on the ship also raised their weapons and opened fire on the two people standing on the edge of the cliff.

The bullets whized from below, scaring Grant back a few steps, but Dai Pingan still leaned over the cliff, aiming steadily, and at the same time did not forget to chat with Grant behind him:
"Oh, so you recognize me?"

"Yes, yes, you are Dai Ping'an, Mr. Dai, I have seen your arrest warrant."

"Very good, save me to introduce again. How much is your monthly salary?"

"Huh? Uh, twenty dollars."

Grant was a little surprised, he didn't understand what the other party meant.Dai Pingan didn't pull the trigger, but after aiming for a long time, he put away his rifle and retreated to Grant's side.

"Is there a fire?"

"Yes, yes."

Grant quickly took out a match from his pocket and struck it, arching his hands, but what Dai Pingan stretched out was not a cigarette or cigar, but a fuse of a stick of dynamite.

"I'll give you two thousand dollars a week."

When the flame touched lightly, the flammable fuse started to spark. Instead of throwing down the stick of dynamite, Dai Pingan put his other hand around the trembling Grant:
"For a week, I'll give you two thousand dollars. You want to teach my people how to shoot. Is there any problem?"

Grant, who was sweating profusely, didn't pay attention to what Dai Pingan said. His eyes were fixed on the fast-burning fuze.

"No problem, I'll teach, I don't need money to teach."

The voice of Grant's yelling changed, and Dai Pingan smiled slightly, and then threw the dynamite stick that was burning to the end off the cliff.

With a sound of "boom", the explosives exploded in the middle of the cliff, and the flying sand and stones fell down, beating the soldiers who were shooting below to dodge one after another, and the sound of gunfire also became sparse.

"Money still needs to be collected. These cannons belong to your company, but the salary that should be earned must be put into your own pockets. Besides, you don't charge money. If you don't teach well, I will I'm sorry to throw you down here, don't you? One more thing, do me a favor and throw it down for me."

While talking, Dai Pingan took out a few more sticks of dynamite and slapped them in the hands of the pale-faced Grant.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

There were three explosions in a row, and the ship below the cliff was unavoidable. The soldiers on board were blown upside down, and the screams could be heard clearly on the cliff.

Looking at Grant who was slumped on the ground, Dai Ping'an nodded, then picked up the loaded bolt-action rifle and handed it to the nearest artilleryman.

"Will you shoot?"

"Boom!" "Crack!" "Pound!"

Revolvers, rifles and repeating rifles,
On the cliff, various gunshots sounded one after another. Grant took the surviving artillery and poured the bullets in the gun down the cliff, for fear that one more bullet would be left in the barrel.

Below the cliff, due to the previous explosion, the ship had tilted in the river not far from the shore, and all the survivors fled to the river bank.The artillery bullets crushed them, hiding behind rocks and unable to lift their heads, but what really killed them was an artillery cowboy revolver with an extended barrel.

The gun was held in Dai Ping'an's left hand.

"Bah!"

A soldier who hid behind the stone and peeked out fell out. A stream of blood from his head splashed on the shore first, and then quickly seeped into the sand.

At the same time, with an inaudible cold snort, a bloody lead ball rolled down Dai Ping'an's black robe, and in the grass under the black robe, such a small bead had already fallen for seven days. eight.

These are gifts left to him by the mayor of Barry. They are blocked by copper plates. Although they are not deeply embedded in the body, they have become the biggest obstacle for him to heal himself.

Dai Pingan vaguely remembered that in the game of "Wildness", there was an optional skill, which was to kill a person, and a large amount of life could be restored in the next few seconds.

When he shot and killed people before, he had paid attention to this intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't feel anything.Unexpectedly, this skill is not only the same as others, it requires him to use his life to explore, and he can only discover it when he is dying, or even when he himself has given up.

The lead shot just now was the last foreign object in the muscles around his waist. Now, it was time to dig the deeper one.

Under the cover of his black robe, he slashed the muscles in his waist with a Bowie knife.After being tortured for so long, I can feel the position of that little thing without eyes, so this cut is very measured.

Pull out the hunting knife, slowly put your fingers in, find the right position, then put down the revolver with your left hand, take out the last piece of explosives, light it on the fire, and throw it towards the crowded place below.

"Boom!"

The explosion covered many things. When Grant and the others turned their heads, they found that Dai Pingan had disappeared from the cliff, and only a revolver and a hunting knife were left in a pool of blood.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, and a team chased from the direction of Closhang Fort.At this moment, the sun has completely emerged from the east, illuminating the O'Bravo Heights in New Austin, and also illuminating the people who came.

At the forefront was Arthur Morgan, Mayor Barry's modified roller-lock sniper rifle, still slung over his shoulder.Relying on this gun, Arthur Morgan hit the guard on the gate of Closhangburg with one shot, which triggered the roar of Maxim machine guns on the city wall.

Behind them are Hei Erqing, Duan Tianlei, and Li Jiayuan, who followed Dai Pingan into the Cloth Fort.After the cannon went off, Dai Pingan didn't see anyone else except Hei Erqing, and he didn't know how the casualties were.At this time, they were followed by two ragged people, one looked like Yan Xiaoguo, and the other was unrecognizable.

Last of all is Major Milton,
He led his cavalry not only to attack the police team that came to support from Tumbleweed Town, but also caused ghosts to fight ghosts between the two teams and the cloth merchant's castle. When Lu retreated, he launched another attack.

With a heart, without a heart,
The cavalry at Benedict Station and the police in Tumbleweed Town originally had a total of more than 300 people. After Maxim’s baptism, they suffered heavy casualties. After Major Milton’s charge, they finally had a chance to survive. to one hundred.

Now, it was dawn, and it was time for Dai Pingan to fulfill his promise.
