Ambush!

It was foggy and rainy. The men lay on either side of the road waiting for the looters. The man had goteen two more men to join them. Their ambush party was now six. the plan was to take out the looters with the heavier weapons first then get the rest. No prisoners were to be taken. Two hours after laying in the wet grass they heard the sound of footsteps and horses. Hopefully none of the horses would be killed but it was improbable. As the looters came into view it was clear some of them were women. When the gang got inside of the kill zone the man blew a whistle and they opened fire from one side of the road. Half the looters went down the other half started firing at the sound of the shots coming at them. When they did this the other three ambushers started shooting from the other side of the road. They managed to bring down five more of the looters. The remaining four dropped their weapons and put their hands up. They were shot immediately. No prisoners. The mans reasoning was they were looters and that they would have to be shot anyway why go through some form of trial. The good thing was only two of the six horse were killed. They stripped the bodies of anything useful and buried them in a shallow grave. The body count was 13. This left potentially 7-12 looters from the gang alive. A guard would have to be posted along potential routes that they might come from to if they chose to seek revenge.
