041 Premeditated
At least in 1866, Jesse James' peacetime commandos carried out the first armed bank robbery, hijacking the Clay County Savings Union in Lipper. www.biquge.info Although many commandos were killed by state authorities and local thugs, Jesse James organized several more robberies over the next few years, despite the fact that many commandos were killed by state authorities and local thugs.
In 1868, Jesse James went into exile in Kentucky, where he intensified his frenzied crime, shooting and killing a bank teller during a robbery, which made Jesse James notorious and made the reward accrued on Jesse James higher and higher.
If the dollars he got from Lao Zheng were Li Mu's "reasonable remuneration", then this reward was an unexpected joy, and it strengthened Li Mu's determination to "counter violence with violence".
Of course, Li Mu is not reckless, he attaches importance to the enemy tactically and despises the enemy strategically, Li Mu is now facing the notorious Jiangyang thief, and he is the kind that kills people without blinking, and if you want your enemies to be afraid of you, you can only be more ruthless than the enemy.
In order not to affect the Chinese side, Li Mu took Yan Hu and Yan Shun to the front carriage and changed seats with Oliveira's family.
The robbers can already be seen here, when Li Mu and the three of them sat down, the robbers had already arrived in the front carriage and were searching for passengers, and at this time, the passengers in the carriage had already prepared, so compared with the first carriage, the robbers' harvest was significantly reduced.
However, the robbers don't mind, as long as there is a gain, the robbers do not have the intention of directly searching, that may cause greater chaos, and then something happens, or it is better to be like this, the passengers are more or less ruined, but because they are not to the extent of being penniless, so they will not take risks and confront the robbers, and the robbers do not need to make a big move, they can get what they want, it is really happy.
In fact, there are hundreds of passengers on this train, and if the passengers rush up, three or five robbers are definitely not opponents, but in this situation of mutual restraint, the whole robbery process is carried out so calmly, which is really incredible.
"Are you afraid?" Looking at the robbers who were getting closer and closer, Li Mu asked Yan Hu and Yan Shun in a low voice.
Yan Hu is tall and strong, Yan Shun is clever and agile, they are all Li Mu's good helpers, Li Mu bought a gun in San Francisco, and gave Yan Hu and Yan Shun one each, and urged them to also practice "drawing a gun", which can finally come in handy at this time.
However, neither Yan Hu nor Yan Shun have experienced actual combat, and it is unknown how much of a role they can play.
Speaking of which, Li Mu has actually never experienced actual combat, but Li Mu has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, and the inexplicable self-healing of the wound on his head also gave Li Mu confidence, there is nothing to hesitate at this time, either you die or you die.
Li Mu has been practicing the technique of drawing a gun, and now Li Mu is still using a cavalry-type pistol with a long barrel, but the speed of pulling out the gun, aiming, and collecting the gun can be compressed to less than 0.3 seconds, and he is already a top cowboy.
"Don't be afraid!" Yan Hu gave Li Mu a firm promise, and then looked at Li Mu with worry in his eyes: "Brother Mu, let's change our seats-"
The trains are all double seats, and Li Mu's position is on the outside of the side facing the robbers, if there is a fight, Li Mu will be the first to face the robbers, which makes Yan Hu very worried.
"It's okay, after the gun goes off, Yan Shun you act according to the plan, Yan Hu, your task is to follow me to make up the gun, as long as the person I hit, don't care if he dies or not, you have to make up the gun to prevent any accidents-" Li Mu was not worried, and even Li Mu found that his heartbeat had not changed, and there was no intention of accelerating adrenal secretion at all, which made Li Mu full of confidence.
"Remember, on the head, only by hitting the head can you be killed with one shot-" Li Mu was not worried about his combat effectiveness, only worried that Yan Hu and Yan Shun would not be able to do it.
"Don't worry, Brother Mu, my brother and I have gone to see the beheading, and we have also seen Ling Chi-" Yan Shun suddenly said faintly.
Hiss, Li Mu suddenly gasped, and actually looked at Ling Chi-
That's a lot of knowledge!
It's true, many novels tremble when it comes to recruits going to the battlefield, and they can't hold the guns in their hands in a panic, which is actually nonsense, really when people in the nineteenth century are flowers in the greenhouse of the twenty-first century?
In recent years, the imperial court has been open when executing prisoners and Ling Chi prisoners, and the ruling class needs this kind of means to deter the lower classes, so similar scenes are not uncommon, once every three or five times, and they are more diligent than singing big operas in the garden.
Li Mu had seen some photos of the end of the Qing Dynasty in his previous life, the Qing government allowed onlookers to watch when they were late, and the enthusiasm of the onlookers was simply outrageous, in order to be able to see clearly, the people who ate melons even squeezed down less than a meter away from the executioner to watch carefully, and really didn't see a few faint blood.
After figuring out this layer, Li Mu was no longer worried, and focused on the three robbers in his sight.
The three robbers are indeed habitual offenders, they have a clear division of labor, two people collect money in the front, and one person is responsible for monitoring in the back, and the cooperation is very tacit.
The two people who collect money look different from the "robbers", not the fierce gods in the ordinary sense, and the pleasant looks like the salesman pushing the cart on the 21st century train, whenever someone gives a bill with a larger face value, these two guys even say "thank you", which looks more like begging, rather than robbery, and the passengers in the carriage are also very cooperative, if the distance is a little farther, some passengers will even stand up and take the initiative to put the money in the hat in the hand of the robber, it is really ridiculous.
The scar-faced man who followed behind was a little vicious, with two long and narrow eyes like poisonous snakes constantly patrolling the entire carriage, his hand was always on the handle of the gun on his waist, and the holster for the gun was obviously also modified, without the snap button on it, and Li Mu's quick-draw holster had a fight.
Almost instantly, Li Mu determined the order, the first shot must ensure that it can hit the big man in the back, and then the two robbers in front, after all, the big man in the back is more vigilant, and he can pull out the gun at any time, and the threat is relatively great, and the first two are slightly better, after all, even if they want to pull out the gun, they must first throw away the hat with money in their hands.
After deciding the order, Li Mu also checked his equipment, two Colters with a capacity of six rounds grabbed it single-handedly, the bullets have been checked, there are no crooked melons and cracked dates, and there are no rusty ones, which are guaranteed to be fired, and the revolver is not afraid of jamming, even if it is bad luck to hit the stink, it is a matter of pulling the trigger more.
At this time, the two robbers in front were only less than three meters away from Li Mu, and the robber who was dragging behind was less than five meters away from Li Mu.
