Due to the short production time of the Dreiser rifle, when the Battle of Panama was approaching, Zhao Dutian only reluctantly armed the Han Imperial Forest Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, while Zhao Dutian was loading the Dreiser rifle, he discovered that the breech gun technology rewarded by the Age of Empires system was too comprehensive!

On the earth in Zhao Dutian's previous life, the reason why the breech gun was not invented until the middle of the 19th century was not only because of the problem of thunder mercury, but also because many fragmentary scientific and technological points of human beings were not fully ......

If you want to say that the rear-loading musket actually appeared in the early 18th century, the revolver carbine that Zhao Dutian once got by lottery belongs to one of the defective products of a rear-loading gun that can be used......

The large-scale installation of the rear loading gun is late, not because it was invented late, but because it has such and such problems, which is a process of technology accumulation, which is like, no matter how advanced the defective product, it is not as good as the backward mature product!

Although the flintlock pistol has a simple structure and poor performance, it focuses on stability and practicality, and before the rear loading rifle does not really have excellent actual combat performance, European countries do not like to use those unstable 'advanced rifles'!

This is also the reason why when the Dreiser rifle was first invented, many European military generals were not optimistic, after all, there have been too many failures, and they will not be recognized if they have not really experienced actual combat!

Judging by how much mature technology has accumulated with the Dreiser's rifle from this point!

Through these mature technologies, those gunsmiths cooperated with the original artillery experts of the Han Empire, and easily developed early breech-loading rifled guns!

In fact, in the history of Zhao Dutian's previous life, the large-scale installation time of mature breech-loading rifled guns was earlier than that of Dreiser rifles!

The earliest rear-loading rifled guns were placed on naval battleships, and the longer the firing range and more accurate hit rate, the rear-loading rifled guns were recognized by most people!

This is only a mature modern breech-loading rifled gun, because the power of the artillery far exceeds the musket, and the technology of the artillery is also at the forefront, which is reflected in the time and space where Zhao Dutian is located!

Just when Zhao Dutian was complacent that the empire had developed a modern breech-loading rifled gun, the British already had the first breech-loading rifled gun decades ago!

Of course, because of such and such reasons, the rear-loading rifled gun did not fully replace the front-loading gun, but was slowly developed by the British as a technical reserve, which involves many problems such as cost, practicability, artillery failure, etc., and the military wants to install a weapon on a large scale, but it is a very complicated process, after all, others do not have Zhao Dutian's bug general anti-heaven empire era auxiliary system, and you can directly get the mature technology that has been tested in actual combat!

Of course, according to the advice given by the Dreiser rifle experts, the Han Empire has manufactured several breech-loading rifled guns, but this technical achievement is not given by the system, so it is natural to pull it to the battlefield for experiments!

Even artillery experts themselves believe that there are a lot of minor problems......

Therefore, with the arrival of the Han Imperial Forest Army, in addition to the Dreiser, there are also ten brand-new rear-loading rifled guns of various models to test the actual combat performance!

The Han Empire's tactics of exchanging space for time were quite effective, and after hundreds of thousands of anti-Han alliance troops were spread out in the province of Gran Columbia, the only ones who could really be used for the offensive were the hundreds of thousands of black elite and white standing armies that were barely assembled!

Not to mention the black veterans, the composition of the white standing army is complicated, the French army, the Portuguese army, the Spanish army, the British mercenaries, the Indian Asan, etc., in addition to the British native red shirts, this white standing army with many numbers can be regarded as the real main force of the anti-Han alliance's offensive in South America!

As for the task of resisting the Clouey White Guards on the Southern Front, it was handed over to a large number of black cannon fodder, anyway, the jungle area of Brazil is very suitable for black cannon fodder who is not organized and undisciplined, and will only rush up to hand-to-hand combat if they can play a salvo!

Although the tactic of lining up to shoot is popular in the modern 300 years, the only place where this tactic can really exert its power is in the open area!

The area with an open view does not necessarily have to be a flat plain area, but also a small hilly area with uneven heights, as long as there are too many too high mountains and dense jungles and even buildings that block the view, the queue shooting tactic can be used very well!

Unfortunately, it is not difficult to find areas with a wide view in Europe, but it is even more difficult in the American continent, which is not very developed and is full of jungles and mountains!

The Indian warriors of those years were able to fight against the white colonists who had an absolute superiority in weapons and tactics by taking advantage of the forested and mountainous terrain of the Americas!

This point has become a big advantage when put on the black armed forces of the anti-Han alliance!

Although the black armed forces are not very outstanding in hand-to-hand combat, they are much stronger than their ability to shoot platoon guns!

In the face of the Han army, which had superior firepower (the white government would not give the blacks heavy weapons such as artillery), the black armies were rarely willing to fight the enemy in the plains, unless they were supported by the white elite!

Originally, the main force of the hundreds of thousands of anti-Han alliances with black armed forces as the main force thought that the Han Empire was at an absolute disadvantage in Panama, and would definitely retreat in the city and even in the fixed fortifications.

The anti-Han alliance's favorite is this combat method, because the number of black cannon fodder is enough, this kind of battle to attack a fixed defensive point, the anti-Han alliance can have the initiative, easily form an absolute advantage of local forces, do not have to worry about a large-scale collapse of black cannon fodder, use the cycle mode of charging, retreating, regrouping, and charging again, and consume the Han army in the fixed point!

Although the army guarding the fixed point can gain the advantage of the battle loss ratio in battle, it also sacrifices its own mobility ability, and it is difficult to pursue the repulsed enemy to expand the results, let alone gather and destroy the attacking side!

The defensive counterattack that is often used in modern warfare to gather and annihilate the enemy's army is based on the presence of aircraft and tanks, and it is difficult to annihilate the modern army with defensive counterattack without rapid advance of infinitely powerful armored troops!

Therefore, in modern warfare, if you want to annihilate the main force in the enemy's movement, you can only rely on field warfare to set up an ambush circle!

Of course, if you have a cavalry unit with super combat effectiveness and are confident in the combat effectiveness of your own army, you can also defeat most of the enemy army in the field, and then let the cavalry force expand the results......

It's a pity that the cavalry troops of the Han Empire lost too much in the North American War, and Zhao Dutian, who was financially strained, was unable to retrain a large number of expensive cavalry troops!
