However, there were still sensible and knowledgeable front-line officers who believed that the strength of these enemy troops who attacked their side in a roundabout way was about 2,000 men, but they used rear-loading rifles in the South China Sea, so they had such a large density of firepower.

It is no secret that the South China Sea breech-loading rifle has basically entered the sight of the feudal towns in an all-round way as the South China Sea New Army is making trouble in various counties in Nanhai Prefecture.

It's just that the major feudal towns are still relatively poorly equipped, and the fastest response is Jian Minggang, but before they were defeated, a total of nearly 10,000 were equipped, which was the result of several months of working day and night.

followed by Shao Bing, who has the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory under his hands, and now it has also started to imitate production, but the output will not be high in a short period of time.

But everyone is not stupid, many feudal towns are also thinking about modifying the Fuyuan musket one or two, and learn from Lin Ziran to get a rear-loading version of the Fuyuan musket.

But again, the time is short, and the estimate of this time and a half is not to expect large-scale equipment.

Really strictly speaking, in fact, the troops under Lin Ziran are equipped with the most breech-loading rifles!

At that time, many front-line officers knew that the other side was equipped with rear-loading rifles, but they still couldn't understand why the other side was able to inflict such heavy casualties on their side in a short period of time.

I don't understand why our own artillery units failed to intercept the opponent's detour?

At that time, the artillery units under Zhao Song's command were actually even more difficult......

Because when the battle first broke out, it started with these artillerymen being beaten!

When the troops of the 1st Division were moving, the two test guns under the experimental artillery battalion also went north together.

In the face of the field artillery positions hastily deployed by the enemy, the two test guns only used more than 10 rounds of rapid fire in front and behind, which completely suppressed the enemy's artillery battalion.

Then the smoothbore guns of the 1st Artillery Regiment followed up with the suppression of the shelling, and the artillery battalion was declared finished.

Without artillery, the troops are at a disadvantage, which is not normal.

The front-line troops could not fight and escape, so they could only continue to be beaten unilaterally.

Finally, in despair, the white flag was raised and surrendered!

Zhao Song tried his best to reenact the situation between the lines of the battle report.

The more this recurred in his mind, the more desperate he became!

Because he found that no matter how he deduced, it seemed to be incomprehensible.

The 8,000 enemy troops were doomed to destruction from the moment they encountered the enemy.

Can't escape, can't fight!

Zhao Song stared at the words 'suspected enemy army has ultra-long-range heavy artillery' on the battle report, and looked at it again and again.

In the end, he muttered: "How is it possible to have a heavy artillery with a range of three kilometers, and it is also a heavy artillery with such a high accuracy of hitting!" ”

Thinking about it, he looked at the rear-loading rifle, and after looking at it for a long time, he was puzzled: "Could it be that this is a rear-loading rifled gun?" ”

"It must be a breech-loading rifled gun, otherwise there would simply be no such a long effective range!"

But soon he doubted himself again: "But it can't be! ”

There have been some rear-loading guns on the Blue Star for a long time, and there were even rear-loading smoothbore shotguns more than a hundred years ago, but the range of that thing was too close, and the air leakage was serious, so it was always useless.

Over the years, there have been traces of iron rifled guns, but this thing is difficult to load, and the problem of shells is not easy to solve, and the rifling of this iron cannon is easy to polish, after polishing the rifling, the range is not as good as the smoothbore gun!

Coupled with the role of tradition, even if iron front-loading rifled guns have appeared, the mainstream artillery in the Blue Star countries, including the Daheng feudal towns, is still smoothbore guns, especially the field guns used by the army, which are basically bronze smoothbore guns.

Simple, reliable, powerful, long tube life and many other advantages, so that the bronze smoothbore gun has established the status of the main artillery of the army.

As for the breech-loading rifled gun, Zhao Song can be sure that there is no such thing in this world, at least he has not heard of it.

Zhao Song frowned: "But, how did they solve the problem of air leakage?" How to solve the bolt problem? How to solve the problem of shells? ”

Zhao Song is not a technician, but he knows very well what the flaws of the rear-loading gun are!

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Song didn't come up with a reason, but just ordered his subordinates to ponder.

However, even if he figured it out, he didn't have an arsenal under his hands......

Now Zhao Song actually doesn't have the mood and time to toss this, the enemy army has entered Yonggu County, and the front-line troops can't resist it, and now there are 8,000 troops annihilated.

Zhao Song was already a little desperate.

How can you stop it with just 10,000 people under your hands?

Unstoppable!

So what to do?

Zhao Song thought about defecting to Cheng, but he also knew very well that those middle- and low-level officers under him surrendered to Chengcheng, and it is estimated that there would be no problem, but if he Zhao Song surrendered to Chengcheng, there is a high probability that he will be given a false title and put under house arrest!

He doesn't want to be a prisoner of the ranks, he really can't do it, he just walked away with the floating wealth, the world is so big, he can be a rich man anywhere he wants, why bother to become a prisoner!

What's more, he didn't want to see Lin Ziran's disgusting face!

Ma Dan, a month ago, he called himself a brother and a brother, and he said that he would join forces to fight Jian Minggang.

It's only been a long time, and he turned around and hit him Zhao Song.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Song found that this Yonggu County was unable to stay!

In the end, he repaired two letters and sent his henchmen to Guang'an County and Hexi County respectively.

The meaning of this letter is also simple, it is nothing more than wanting to surrender to the two of them, as long as they are willing to give him Zhao Song a place to stay, then in the future, you will say that I will not go west......

Soon, Hexi County and Guang'an County both had a reply, and Hexi County directly refused, of course, he didn't say anything, saying that you want to come over, but this person has to be handed over to us, as for Zhao Song, you will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!

Zhao Song saw it and tore up the letter directly!

I still need you to keep me food and clothing worry-free, Lao Tzu has a lot of money......

Guang'an County has some sincerity, saying that it is okay to come over, and you can keep the more than 10,000 troops by yourself, but the territory is definitely gone, and you have to listen to me Du Zhikuan if there is anything in the future.

At this time, the army personally commanded by Lin Ziran was already about to reach Yonggu County!

In order to avoid being completely annihilated, Zhao Song didn't care so much, and directly took the remnants of 10,000 soldiers over the mountains and mountains to prepare to take refuge in Du Zhikuan.

In the past, even if there is no land, it is not a problem to continue to be a division commander.

If you have a chance in the future, maybe you can pull Du Zhikuan down and become the county guard of Guang'an County.

is the so-called feng shui in turn, who dares to say that he can't be the county guard of Guang'an in the future!

Soon, Du Zhikuan gave him the answer: think about Lao Tzu's position as the county guard, and live in the next life!

On May 9, Zhao Song led 10,000 remnants of the army to die and just crossed the mountains into Guang'an County, when he was ambushed by more than 20,000 Guang'an troops and asked Zhao Song to surrender.

Zhao Song was extremely angry about this, thinking that Du Zhikuan was treacherous and deceived people too much, and ordered the troops to resist desperately.

Unfortunately, less than three seconds after he gave the order to resist, his subordinates aimed at him and pulled the trigger and sent him a bullet.

Immediately, 10,000 remnants of Zhao Songyuan's troops collectively surrendered to Du Zhikuan and became a member of the Guang'an Army.

And Zhao Song, who was once a prominent feudal town in Luo'an, was killed by his generals in the wilderness and threw his corpse into the wilderness!
