Chapter 228 This Time It's the Villain's Turn to Lay Out the Pockets, Waiting for Someone to Take the Bait

Li Changheng finished dinner in the tavern, drank beer and waited for two hours without seeing Barney and the others come back. Finally, he thought about calling the air patrol base outside the town.

Escorted by six soldiers with guns, I went to the flight base to sleep.

On the side of the canyon more than 20 kilometers away from the town, Barney was in a group with Trenches, and Stone was in a group with Blade.

The four of them stared at the Mexicans one kilometer away on a rock wall more than 20 meters high.

Unknowingly, the time came to 4 o'clock in the morning.

Stone took Barney's binoculars, took the blade and climbed to a rock wall more than ten meters high to stare, while Barney and Trenches lay down in the back seats of two police cars to rest.

Half an hour later, Stone frowned and saw four cowboys on horses running towards the canyon in the weak light before dawn.

"Damn it, do these guys have to come patrol the ranch today?"

Blade without a telescope in his hand, although he couldn't see the cowboys, he still asked, "Do you want to remind them?"

If Barney or the trenches were here, the two of them might have fired a warning shot.

But this guy Stone didn't care about the life and death of the four cowboys at all, and even suddenly felt in his heart that as long as one of the four cowboys escaped, the group of Mexicans would have to escape by themselves.

And for a long time in the future, this canyon will definitely be focused on by the US government, and the air patrol base built with money by his boss may be taken seriously by the US government.

You don't need to pay yourself any more, you can expand the scale of the base and train more people of your own.

Thinking of this, Stonebanks looked into the binoculars with a smile on the corner of his mouth, watching the Mexicans pick up their guns when they were reminded by the sound of horseshoes.

The four cowboys also heard the roar of the machine and rode towards the canyon.

The two sides involuntarily held their guns and approached slowly. Then the Mexicans opened fire, and the cowboys fought back, leaving two corpses to escape on horseback.

"What the hell is going on?"

Stone didn't have to look back to know that it was the trench and Barney heard the gunshots and climbed up.

He glanced sideways at Daofeng with some warning.

Then Stone said with a sullen face, "A cowboy came over suddenly, the distance was too far and the sky was too dark, when the outsiders found out, those Mexicans should have heard the sound of horseshoes and took the initiative to shoot.

Two of the cowboys were killed and two escaped, and one of the Mexicans was shot. "

"FK," Trenches cursed, "Barney and I have to go back to town and wait for the police call, you go back and protect the boss."

Trenches and Barney are the chief and deputy sheriff. If the cowboy escapes on horseback, he will definitely call the police first, and then ask his friends to come to help.

Not to mention going back for revenge, at least the bodies of the two companions must be recovered.

It's a pity that whether it was the four people in the trench or the two cowboys who fled, they thought that the Mexicans who just wanted to transport flour should also flee soon.

Little did they know that the purpose of this group of Mexicans was to wait for Gabriel Cordis on the side of the canyon.

Now that the smuggling incident has been smashed, the group of Mexicans dare not escape back at all.

As long as Gabriel is alive, there will be a reward for their lives.

Even if Gabriel died, the living members of the Cordis family would still find someone to kill them, not to mention their wives, children and parents would not be able to escape revenge.

The leader, Sterman, cursed bitterly. If it was more than ten years later when there was a big brother, he could call Gabriel and explain.

But this group of people who couldn't contact the boss could only fight with the police or the cowboys in the town to delay Gabriel's time.

Sterman picked up the walkie-talkie and began talking to the responders across the canyon.

Not long after, a truck appeared on the opposite side of the canyon, and then pointed a fist-thick two-meter steel pipe at Sterman's side.

With a 'bang' sound, a steel nail tied with a thick nylon rope for the fingers was fired.

With a muffled sound of "ding,,,," the steel nail penetrated into the rock wall.

Someone on Sturman's side untied the ropes from the steel nails and tied them to the pulleys on the two-meter-high steel platform that had been erected.

Pull the rope, and a finger-thick steel cable is quickly pulled across the canyon and fixed on the steel platform.

Then another rope was fired by the air gun.

A dozen heavily armed Mexicans, hanging themselves with their gear on steel cables, were pulled across the canyon for reinforcements.

Then there's ammo and spare weapons.

Sterman said to a major who was once a Mexican interrogation force, "You should have seen what happened here on the canyon floor.

No matter how good the plan is, there will always be accidents, so our task now is to delay the time.

When Gabriel Cordis arrived and passed through the canyon, they each fled for their lives.

If it doesn't work, you can surrender. I believe that Mr. Curtis will not blame us after we are safe. "

Major Juan shook his head, "You guys can surrender, but we can't,"

Sterman patted Juan on the shoulder with a sad face, knowing in his heart that Juan, the team that has been responsible for assassinating Gabriel's enemies, as long as someone is caught, the Americans will try their best to pry their mouths open.

And once someone speaks, Gabriel assassinates those enemies, even the Mexicans, and will put all the blood on his head.

Before Gabriel had his luck, he would have killed the family of the man who spoke.

Even hostile forces and Americans may compete for their families in order to get more people to speak up.

Scrambling and snatching, under the hail of bullets, no one can guarantee that the bullets will not hit their wives and children.

If it is simpler and more insidious, simply pretend that they were killed by Gabriel, forcing them to speak out for revenge.

Sterman looked at his watch, "Don't worry, it's almost 6 o'clock now, and if there are no accidents, Mr. Curtis will arrive in about two hours.

We have so many people that there might not even be five police officers in this small town. We just need to scare the people in the small town.

It will be at least after noon when the state police and the National Guard act.

At that time, we had already passed through the canyon, and no one would dare to stand on Mexican soil and let them shoot. "

Juan showed an ugly smile and said, "I hope so."

Then he pointed to the rock wall where they were hiding in the trench and said, "I will take my men to occupy the commanding heights.

Except for your people to stay here to guard the place, the others are scattered in groups of 5.

Attract the enemy's attention and firepower to each other, so that they dare not rush over.

If we are lucky, people in the town will not fight recklessly when they see that there are so many of us. "

Sterman thought for a while, then nodded with a smile, "OK, you are an expert in war."

"By the way, don't kill if you can't kill."

Juan stared at Sterman and said, "Our purpose is to delay time. Too many Americans have died, and the blood feud will eventually be counted on us, understand?"

Sturman shrugged, "I'm not a fool, and Mr. Curtis didn't say that he would get paid for killing an American."

Then nearly 40 Mexicans began to set up.
