The commanders of the two armies were Wang Qiming and Li Mingzhi, Li Mingzhi's troops were mainly composed of the American Native Guard, with a large number of people, and the combat mission was to sweep the area swept by the uprising as much as possible, and step into the Mexican region as the liberator of the Americas!

Of course, the liberator of the Han Empire is talking nicely, but in fact it is doing the work of annexation, which has nothing to do with the national independence and freedom of the local people!

On the other hand, Wang Qiming's troops were small in number, but they had the elite led by Mondora, a large number of light field guns, Polish hussars, and green jackets to strengthen the skirmish infantry regiment!

The goal of this passer-by is to take Dolores directly, and the task given to them by Zhao Dutian is to exterminate the main force of Hidalgo in the rebel army and enter Mexico City!

If Flores. Governor Fruela has surrendered, and they are naturally reinforcements. If Governor Fruela is dead or is planning to resist, then surround Mexico City, sweep the surrounding area, and wait for Li Mingzhi's troops to arrive and attack together!

The accumulation of the Han Empire over the years was thrown out by Zhao Dutian, no matter what, he had to get the reward he deserved!

And the reason why Zhao Dutian didn't follow up was mainly because he was waiting for the Tucson Fortress to win, and the reward army obtained from the lottery would converge with himself!

The prize drawn this time is a reinforced musketeer regiment!

This musketeer regiment was not a pit with a flintlock pistol, but a light cavalry unit with the earliest revolver carbines!

The point is not in the size of this cavalry regiment of more than 2000 people, but in the weapons they used!

Each member of this musketeer regiment had two early, strangely shaped weapons with a huge bullet nest on their bodies!

Don't get me wrong, this revolver carbine is not a rear-loading rifle with thunder mercury, and it is not a revolver commonly used by American cowboys in Zhao Dutian's previous life!

The revolver carbine equipped by the Musketeer Regiment is not very technical, but the design is very ingenious, and it belongs to the kind of weapon that can be mass-assembled on a large scale immediately with the existing technology of the Han Empire!

The purpose of Zhao Dutian's stay is to understand this weapon and test the practicality of the battlefield!

In line with the principle that the system must be a high-quality product, Zhao Dutian is still very attentive!

This weapon, called the revolver carbine, is very close to the mature revolver in the previous life, but because there is no technology such as a mine pump, each nest has to be loaded with primer and propellant one by one, and the projectile will be plugged with filler, and then there is a pressure rod to compact one by one, and then you can happily dry 6 rounds, and it will take 2 minutes to reload skillfully after drying......

The use of this kind of weapon is to pre-load the propellant and projectile in the 'revolver', the projectile is round, and it is impossible for this kind of gun to be reloaded urgently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There will be fillers when loading, usually paper or small pieces of deerskin and the like, wrapped in a projectile and stuffed in, so that it can be filled with bullets without moving, but it will definitely affect the progress, after all, it is not a rifled gun, and the effective range is generally about 30 yards, so the requirements are not too high

This is actually a front-loading flintlock pistol made into a revolver, but it still has an overwhelming advantage over the rate of fire compared to a single-shot front-loading flintlock pistol!

It is conceivable that the cavalry units, each equipped with two of these revolver carbines, rushed to more than 20 meters, and snapped six or six rounds at the dense formation of the place......

After shooting, switch to another one, and then shoot six times in a row......

You don't need any reload action during this period, you just need to pull the trigger!

That density of firepower, in the era of flintlock pistols, was definitely a massacre!

The most important thing is that after the cavalry has finished shooting, it is almost close, and at this time, the enemy line, which has been destroyed by the rain of 12 bullets per person, can it still withstand the dense cavalry charge?

Although it was only a light cavalry with a saber, it was still quite powerful to attack the enemy formations that were basically kneeling in the front row!

In the face of the enemy's hand-to-hand cavalry, this kind of musket cavalry also has a great advantage, more than ten meters away, do not hedge with the opponent, and constantly use muskets to shoot intensively at the enemy cavalry, and after each person has 12 bullets, the opponent's cavalry does not collapse and counts them as awesome......

This thing is faster than the rate of fire of a mounted shooter, I don't know how much!

Of course, there are also drawbacks, because each chamber is independent of the barrel, the chamber and the barrel must be correctly aligned, which is a test in terms of mechanical design and strength. In addition, because there is no cushioning of the bolt part, the recoil is directly transmitted to the shooter at the first time, and the recoil feeling is relatively large. And due to structural limitations, the revolver usually could only be loaded with 6 rounds.

Then there is a serious air leakage phenomenon in this loading method, it is a problem for the smoothbore gun to close the air, and if you leak again, there is also the instability of the internal ballistics caused by the air leakage, and it is possible to deal with it a little bit, and it is possible to keep the chamber, which is also the reason why the revolver flintlock pistol has a closer range than the ordinary flintlock pistol used by the infantry!

Even the British Red Shirts are only enough to fire a salvo within 30 meters, but this thing needs to be more than 20 meters to be considered an effective range!

Well, the theoretical effective range of the flintlock pistol is actually 100 meters away......

It's just that after entering the effective range of more than 20 meters, you don't have to worry about the hit rate of the flintlock pistol!

However, the shortcomings of this revolver carbine were mainly in terms of reload and range, and occasionally there was a lingering phenomenon, which was more than enough to compensate for the lack of fire compared to the rate of fire that exceeded that of all firearms of the era!

The most important thing is that this weapon can be mass-produced, which made Zhao Dutian see the grand plan of forming a cheap musketeer cavalry regiment!

It is difficult for the light cavalry troops to charge directly against the current bayonet infantry phalanx, and the layers of guns make the light cavalry troops dare not even touch it!

And the heavy lancers with strong impact are difficult to train and expensive to build!

But a cavalry equipped with this revolver carbine can shoot intensively before the charge, effectively punching a large gap in the jungle of infantry bayonets, creating a lot of chaos, and then making it possible for the light cavalry to charge the infantry!

You know, whether it is light cavalry training with sabers, or revolver carbine shooting training, the cycle is not long, and the number is completely guaranteed!

As for shooting at the infantry?

They fired one shot, and they fired six shots on this side, and there is no comparison at all!

Moreover, the speed of the cavalry can be quickly shortened to the range of the revolver carbine, which is why this rifle is used to equip the cavalry!

If it is an infantry, walking within a distance of more than 20 meters is too great a test for the soldiers......

And this thing is a pole strength, after the fight can not be loaded on the spot, the cavalry can finish the fight with a saber and charge, seamless, the infantry ......

The value for money is too low!

However, no matter what, Zhao Dutian has one more hole card in his hand since then! (To be continued.) )
