Chapter 86 The "Armed Pickup" in 1861 (please collect, please recommend)
The deafening shouts of killing echoed on the vast grassland. Once again, the gauchos, the wanderers on the grasslands, and the cowboys in South America, either with spears or revolvers in their hands, charged To the Mapuche.

"They're here!"

Chief Namengza stared at the rushing gauchos, with a trace of despair in his seemingly resolute eyes, he pursed his lips, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

Maybe today is destined to die here!

At least you can die with honor!

As a soldier dying on the battlefield, it might not be a good destination.

He knew very well that if he wanted these gauchos to give up, they would only give up if they were severely injured, and they would only give up if they hurt them as much as possible.

"Hus, entangle them for a while, we must entangle them, even if we all die here, we must entangle them, as long as we entangle them, our wives and children will have meat to eat, so that we will not suffer hungry……"

"Chief, I know!"

Huss nodded vigorously.

"Kill all the white people!"

Chief Namengza raised his spear vigorously, and the Mapuche riders beside him also shouted. Although the Gaucho revolvers were very powerful, they were fearless.

Once again, they went forward without hesitation. They clenched their spears and stabbed the white man and the Gauchos against the bullets.

Although the bullets hit their bodies, the wounded still yelled frantically, swung their spears, and stabbed vigorously at the enemy. The sharp spears pierced the horses, and even flew the gauchos on the horses into the air.

In the collision of blood and blood, people fell one after another. Whether it was a Gaucho or a Mapuche, they were all fair before death.

Chief Namunza yelled as he felled a gaucho cavalryman with his spear.

"Let them die..."

Blood mist scattered!
The spears in the hands of the riders were like sharp arrows, easily piercing the enemy's body, and the body was even torn in two under the impact of the horse.

The battlefield is full of blood and blood.There were flashes of swords and swords, people shouting and neighing, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses littered the field.

Death is the doomed end on the battlefield.

Although Matoro just wanted to break through the Mapuche defense line like in the past at the beginning, and now with the advantage of the firepower of the revolver, he also rushed the Mapuche people to pieces, but those Mapuche people seemed to be desperate. It seemed to be haunting him, and all of them.

In the fight, the firepower advantage of the revolver is still overwhelming, and the cavalry wandering on the battlefield kept shooting the Mapuche with their pistols.In order to kill the enemy as much as possible, they even gave up hitting people, but shot at horses, which had bigger targets and were easier to hit.

More and more Mapuche people and horses fell under the muskets. Suddenly, the war horse on which Chief Namengza was riding neighed and threw him directly to the ground.

Chief Namengza, who fell to the ground, stood up even though he was a little stunned by the fall. He shook his head, and then grabbed the spear.

"Okay, it's all over..."

Yes, the Mapuche who lost their horses on the battlefield had no choice but to die.

A gaucho cavalry stared at him and rode his horse towards him.

Facing the sharp spearhead in the hands of the Gauchos, Chief Namonza closed his eyes. He seemed to be feeling the gentle breeze of the Pampas prairie. He clenched the spear tightly in his hand, knowing that the moment of death was approaching again.

When he thought of death, he didn't feel any fear, his heartbeat quickened and his blood boiled. He opened his eyes, clenched the spear with both hands, and stared hard at the front.

At this moment, he saw the gaucho cavalry fell down, as if he had tripped over something, and fell to the ground with his horse and man.Then someone else fell.

Then he heard a thunderclap!

How is this going?

The next moment, there was thunder.

The sound of thunder is the sound made by hundreds of war horses trampling on the ground, and four-wheeled carriages are galloping on the Pampas grassland under the drag of four horses.

One hundred carriages and four hundred horses are extremely spectacular in motion.Even thousands of cavalry could not generate such momentum.

Juan and the others on horseback always had doubts in their eyes when they followed this huge carriage. They had seen carriages before, but they had never seen such carriages, let alone such a large number of carriages. .

"Juan, why do you say they take carriages? Why don't they ride horses?"

Malthus wondered.

"Perhaps it's because they don't have enough horses."

Juan didn't know that the carriage was Zhu Xianhai's real secret weapon.

What is the Pampas Prairie?
It is one of the most extensive grasslands in the world, and it is basically a forest-free grassland. On such a grassland, in this era, both the Mapuche and the Argentines have a large number of cavalry.The former can be called a "nation on horseback", while the latter includes both gauchos and South American cowboys. In a word, they all grew up on horseback.

In contrast, on Nanhua's side, they basically don't know how to ride horses, playing cavalry like their opponents?It is simply to use one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. Isn't this a dead end?

But such a terrain cannot do without cavalry, so after the first conflict with the Mapuche, Zhu Xianhai has been thinking about how to restrain the cavalry.

flexibility!
This is the greatest advantage of cavalry.

The most important thing in the grassland is maneuver, then firepower, and finally defense.

How can someone who is not good at riding make up for mobility?

After thinking about it, Zhu Xianhai's eyes lit up when he was going to the reclamation area in a horse-drawn carriage. Compared with cavalry, the technique of driving a horse-drawn carriage was simpler.In fact, it is to install the machine gun on the carriage, which can be called the ancestor of "armed pickup".During the Soviet-Russian civil war, the gun cards of the red and white sides formed a battle formation to attack cities and land on the vast Eastern European plains, either offensive or defensive, and played an extremely important role.

Ever since, Zhu Xianhai immediately designed a "standardized" gun-carrying chariot.

The new "chariot" uses a large number of steel parts, and the rear half of the body is made of iron plates, which can provide certain protection for the members.The use of leaf springs to slow down the bumps of the vehicle, in addition to improving the ride comfort, the stability of the carriage during driving plays a vital role in the accuracy of shooting.Besides, without springs, the violent jolts of the battlefield would often knock wooden wagons...to pieces.

Although Zhu Xianhai did not have a Maxim machine gun, he had a Henry rifle and a Spencer rifle.Then he formulated a field strategy based on the "chariot" core. This strategy abandoned infantry, artillery, and even cavalry. The four riflemen on the chariot stood on the chariot just like the archers of the ancient chariot. shooting.The core of this tactic is to form a battle formation with more than a hundred chariots to face the enemy's cavalry.

Compared with cavalry shooting on galloping horses, chariots are definitely a more stable shooting platform!And on this flat prairie, there is absolutely no terrain problem when using a chariot.

The chariot is Zhu Xianhai's secret weapon for running rampant in the grasslands!
A steam tank is...but it's too slow, and a four-wheeled chariot is definitely no slower than cavalry!
On the grassland, it is definitely not inferior to the cavalry weapon.
