In this guide, we will tell you how to save your family from the military attacking the ranch, led by federals in Red Dead Redemption. Reach the already familiar location of Jack on the ranch to start this mission. After talking to the boy, the old man will call you over to look through the binoculars, and you will see a large company of soldiers. Hiding behind the wagon, try to defeat the advancing enemy forces on your home.
After killing everyone, return home with the old man, watch the cutscene, and continue fending off the newly arrived soldiers. The number of enemies far exceeds your defense, act carefully, and try not to expose yourself to bullets. The old man will be wounded, so you continue the fight alone. Temporarily defeating the enemy forces, talk to your uncle one last time. Continue fighting to clear the path to the barn where the horses are. Send Jack and Abigail away from the ranch, and watch the cutscene where John is gunned down by the mob.
