Chapter 6: 6The evil can never be eliminated
Chapter 6 6 Endless evil
Of course, it was impossible for Tang Mo to think at this time that such a far-reaching influence had something to do with him, and he was now a little nervous.
You must know that his revolver has fired three times at this time! There were three bullets left in the bullet chamber, and these three bullets were almost all of his firepower in a short period of time.
He didn't have time to see how many rifles Old Roger had loaded behind him, so all he could confirm was the actual three rounds of ammunition in the revolver in his hand.
And to be honest, no one knows whether the paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition of this era will have any malfunction. So Tang Mo was now full of worries about the battle situation in front of him, and everything was beginning to exceed his expectations.
Since he really didn't know how many men the robbers had, the risks on the battlefield were obviously becoming higher and higher as the reserve of bullets that could be fired immediately became less and less.
For Tang Mo, this situation is very bad, because the more he kills now, the more the bandits' hatred increases.
with with me with me smart to appease his men ——maybe the other party could cut him into pieces and feed it to the dogs...
“Yeah!” The bandit with red eyes appeared again. This time he jumped out of the bushes on the roadside and shouted.
Obviously, the other party was not intimidating Tang Mo, but emboldening himself. Although he didn't believe that the weapon in Tang Mo's hand could fire continuously, so many people had been killed in succession, and this group of bandits was obviously in trouble.
In this kind of deep mountains and old forests, people are engaged in the business of killing people and selling goods. The number of people is actually the basis for their livelihood. After losing a large amount of their vitality, what awaits them is basically destruction.
So this group of people now has almost no intention of escaping, but relying on the courage brought by despair, they are ready to kill these passers-by who don't know where they came from in one go.
Tang Mo naturally couldn't be captured without hesitation. Even if he felt more and more that the situation was beyond his control, it was definitely not his character to kill someone at the slightest provocation.
So when the thief rushed out of the bushes, he turned the gun and aimed at the target as soon as he spotted the opponent.
Just when the opponent was still five or six steps away from him, Tang Mo pulled the trigger again. This time he deliberately made some aiming preparations, so the bullet hit the bandit's vital part.
The other party's head was directly pierced by the flying bullets, and the whole person fell backwards and fell next to a corpse.
His sword fell to the ground with a clang, and with this crisp sound, another bandit with a bow and arrow slung across his body finally rushed into the light.
This bandit has a strong build and his exposed arms are muscular. He wears an iron helmet and even a chainmail armor on his body.
Obviously, this is the leader of this group of bandits. Tang Mo confirmed this as soon as he saw the other party's appearance or the momentum of the attack.
The opponent was well equipped and strong, and he rushed to Tang Mo in a few steps. Tang Mo was not polite and pulled the trigger again towards the strong man.
"Bang!" A gunshot and white smoke sprayed from the muzzle appeared almost simultaneously. A bullet flew out of the barrel and hit the man's chainmail unstoppably.
Facts have proved that chain armor cannot actually block musket bullets at close range, not even plate armor!
However, due to the sluggishness of the chainmail, the strong man only staggered after taking the shot, but still held his long sword high and charged towards Tang Mo.
Using the light of the gas lamp hanging next to the carriage, Tang Mo could even see the sharp and cold light reflected from the peak of the opponent's long sword.
Feeling the pressure the other party brought to him, as well as the coolness running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, Tang Mo pulled the trigger again on the other party without hesitation.
The bullet cylinder began to rotate when Tang Mo pulled the trigger, and the linkage device safely and reliably completed the task of changing the bullet and firing.
The next second, in the frightened eyes of the strong man, a puff of white smoke enveloped his sight, and a projectile hit his body.
The first shot had given him a full impact. In fact, he had been wounded. The blood had soaked his shirt under the mail and was flowing down the cold armor.
Where the interlocking chainmails were hit by bullets, the dense iron rings were severely deformed due to the huge force, and many of the links had fallen off. In the center of these twisted chainmails was a bleeding hole.
The second shot opened a hole in his mail armor, this time hitting his left chest. After the bullet penetrated the mail armor, it rushed into his heart.
He never thought about what Tang Mo was holding in his hand until his death. He was able to fire five shots in a row, which made him and his brothers so angry that they were so angry.
Of course, what I didn’t expect was Weiss beside him. He was holding his long sword at this moment, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
This is not because I am frightened by the **** scene now. In fact, as a ranger, I have never seen more tragic situations than this. He was shocked - he felt that his agile skills and rich combat experience had become a joke in front of the young man.
Having experienced countless fierce battles, looking at Tang Mo now, he felt that this young man was a more terrifying devil than these bandits.
Even if he faced ten more bandits, Weiss would still have the courage and confidence to deal with them, and even risk his life to kill these **** one after another.
However, when he saw the weapon in Tang Mo's hand, he wavered and doubted his own power. To a certain extent, Tang Mo subverted everything he relied on for survival!
This is like an old master who has taught the theory of a round sky and an earth all his life and suddenly one day saw the theory of the earth; it is like a doctor who has been bleeding people and treating others all his life and suddenly learned the correct medical theory.
In short, this subversion made it difficult for Weiss to breathe smoothly. He subconsciously pulled his collar with his hands, not even paying attention to the buttons on it being broken.
An artifact capable of firing five shots in close combat! A treasure that can quickly end the battle regardless of how the opponent dodges.
From now on, rangers may no longer exist. Any child or old man holding such a weapon can easily kill an experienced mercenary ranger with explosive combat power!
Tang Mo could smell the smell of blood getting stronger and stronger in the air, a smell of blood that even the smell of sulfur could not cover up.
His nerves were still tense, but the sudden continuation of silence began to make him pay more attention to the details around him.
Around the carriage, various corpses were lying in random directions. As you can see, seven bandits were killed by Tang Mo himself!
Even though Tang Mo had seen dead people before traveling through time, he couldn't help but feel his stomach churning at this moment.
Since Weiss is still alive, there should be at least two corpses behind the carriage, which means that nine of the thieves have become cold corpses.
"Wes! Stay hidden." Tang Mo held the revolver in his hand and waited for the white smoke in front of the car door to dissipate. The remaining smoke from the burning gunpowder billows loosely under the illumination of the gas lamp, as if it is alive.
He reminded him, and Weiss immediately came to his senses. He quickly leaned against the carriage and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
The atmosphere became strange for a moment. Except for the sound of insects that gradually began to chirp again, there was no other sound around.
Either these bandits have all died under Tang Mo's gunfire, or the remaining bandits finally lost their courage and ran away after seeing their fellow bandits dying.
No matter what the situation was, it can be said that the situation of Tang Mo and the others was gradually improving. At least Roger gave Tang Mo a slight signal after loading the third fast gun.
At this moment, although there was no bullet in the revolver in Tang Mo's hand, counting the three rifles that Roger had just loaded, he had the capital to fire three shots in a row.
At the same time, by the light of the gas lamp, Weiss had also reloaded his flintlock pistol, which meant that Tang Mo's side had almost recovered about half of its combat effectiveness.
Under such circumstances, if the bandits attack rashly again, they will definitely suffer another heavy loss - maybe four more lives, maybe more...
"Wes...go and get rid of the roadblock!" After waiting for about five minutes, there was still no sound in the forest. Tang Mo finally knew that the danger seemed to have passed.
But he did not show a relaxed expression, because he knew that their battle was not thorough.
At the beginning of the battle, two feather arrows hit the carriage, and they were shot from different angles. This means that the opponent has two archers.
Tang Mo got out of the car and checked the seven corpses near the carriage, but only the last big man was carrying a bow and arrows.
The poor bandits who came here to rob could not be willing to throw away their weapons halfway for no reason, so the other bow must be on the person who escaped.
At least one person escaped! This is something Tang Mo is almost certain of. And the man who escaped witnessed almost the entire battle!
This man saw the revolver in Tang Mo's hand and knew that the weapon in Tang Mo's hand was a magical weapon that could rewrite the pattern of war. For Tang Mo, letting go of such an unstable threat was definitely not a good thing. .
But this is a vicious forest, and it's night again. As long as the other party squats in place and makes no sound, it is almost impossible to find him.
Tang Mo didn’t have the courage to risk his life and spread out to search for a bandit in such visibility. So he could only suppress his worries and prepare to continue on his way.
Fortunately, the other party definitely doesn't know the identities of the three of them, so even if they know about the revolver, they won't be able to find Tang Mo for a while.
