According to the description of the old cowboy, Zhang Heng has basically determined that Cook's marksmanship is above lv2, and should not have reached lv3, but the difference is not too much, and his riding is good, and he can shoot at once. Not as good as when stationary.
Taking into account the age of Cook, if there is a fair showdown, Zhang Heng has a certain certainty to be able to defeat the opponent, but if you count the more than 30 members of the Cook gang, the situation is indeed as the old cowboy said, and not optimistic.
Fortunately, they still have time.
Cook should not have thought that the ten people who remained in Bliss would be killed, resulting in their whereabouts being leaked in advance.
According to Zhang Heng's preliminary estimate, it should be one day before Cook's group can reach Lincoln County, and before considering how to deal with so many robbers, there is a key issue before everyone, that is how to catch up with Cook And Matthew intercepted them before they reached Lincoln County.
"The earliest copy of the Cook's gang on me was two months ago," the old cowboy frowned. "They have always been like this, coming and going. Some people call them the Scarlet Scourge, and no one knows that they are Wherever they appear and where they are going, the only thing everyone knows is that where they pass must be blood, like a disaster. "
"I probably know where they will be." Zhang Hengdao, Marshal Morton has been tracking the bandits disguised as fur traders, as long as Cook and Matthew are not stupid, they will find Morton first, so they should now You have come to the scorched town.
Then 80% of them would believe Morton's words, thinking that he had taken away the forty kilograms of gold and the things that Cook put in the bank.
In fact, Zhang Heng has not been able to determine whether that thing really exists, or it was just an excuse for Cook to cheat Matthew.
Considering that apart from Cook, the only group who could answer this question has been killed by Zhang Heng. It may be difficult for him to get an answer again.
Zhang Heng told the old cowboy where Cook and others might be coming, and the latter spread out a map pointing at a forest road twenty miles east of Lincoln County. "If your news is OK, the library Ke should first gather with the ten people who remain in Bliss, and then launch an attack on the county seat. Considering that there will be a certain interval between the arrival of both of them, the first person should find a place to repair first. Here is the most Good location. "
Wendy, aside, interjected at the same time, "My father and I went there in the summer. I remember there was a hunter's hut. The hunter's hut had no owner and could be used by those hunting in the woods to rest."
"If Cook didn't see anyone left in Bliss when he arrived, he should also rest in the hut." The old cowboy said.
"Can we ambush there in advance?" Zhang Heng asked.
"It's difficult," the old cowboy shook his head. "I haven't seen the place yet, but Cook himself is very cautious. I heard the marshals who chased him down and said that no matter where he went, he would first send people to search around, and Peripheral vigilance will be deployed, which is why the Cook Gang is so difficult to eliminate. Even if we want to surround him, we cannot find a hiding place nearby, but we must come from a distance. "
Zhang Heng's words also frowned. Night battle was his biggest support. However, if the people of Cook chose to use the hunter's hut as the base, they huddled until it dawned, and they wanted to rely on a group of miners and farmers to resist the help of Cook A group of fierce bands is obviously not realistic.
"Let's go there first," Zhang Heng thought for a while.
…………
Their time is actually very tight. Cook's people should be able to rush to Lincoln County as soon as one day, and Zhang Heng will spend less than half a day to get to the woods, and they need to beware of being in the woods. Li met with the Cook helpers in advance, so the time left for them to prepare was only half a day, so before the day dawned, the group set off again and came to Wendy's hut.
The hut was located in the middle of the woods. There was a path that was trampled out, and there was a stream flowing beside it. Because it had just rained, the air in the woods was very humid, and the bark was still carrying water droplets.
This is not good news for Zhang Heng and others, because it means that if they want to force Cook and others out of the house with a fire attack, in addition, the surrounding trees have also been cut down. Silent access from the outside is also difficult.
To prevent horseshoe marks from being noticed, the old cowboy let everyone else wait outside the woods. Only he, Zhang Heng and Wendy entered.
The old cowboy walked around the hunter's hut, and then asked Zhang Heng, "Do you have any ideas?"
"This room can't accommodate more than 30 people. There should be some people outside. Whenever there is a war, the people inside will definitely notice ~ www.novelhall.com ~ It is difficult to complete the raid, but if you are lucky, maybe You can kill as many people outside as possible to create favorable conditions for the later battles, "Zhang Heng paused." But the real trouble is to wait for the opponent to hide in the house after the fight. There is no cover here, we will be very Passive, have to figure out a way to get them out of it. "
"Even if we can get them out of it, are you so sure you can beat them?" The old cowboy raised his eyebrows.
"It's not possible to hit all the nets. If they are going to leave, I won't be able to kill them all, but if I only kill Cook, I'm still a bit sure." Zhang Hengdao.
"Enough, Cook has always been the soul and brain of the Cook Gang. As long as Cook is killed, the Cook Gang will naturally cease to exist." The old cowboy said, "I may have a way to get them out of it, But you still have to borrow it. "
"They all listen to your assignment, sheriff."
After a brief discussion of the next action plan, everyone quit the forest first. If so many people go to Lincoln County, they will surely attract local attention. Therefore, they only leave one person looking forward, and the rest are facing west. After walking for twenty miles, resting after a grassy slope, Zhang Heng had one more thing to do before the war.
He has always been quiet on the way, looking forward to someone Wendy who has forgotten his existence.
"Come on, I'll send you home first." Zhang Hengdao.
"I beg you, I've practiced the gun for a long time, and it is ready to fight, and you are not short of manpower now," Wendy begged.
"You have never experienced a real battle at all. This is not as simple as you think. And what we are about to face is the most powerful and ferocious gang in the entire west. I don't think there is any room for negotiation." Everlasting color road.
