At present, there are actually two technical problems that are plagued by breech guns. One is the launching medicine and the other is mercury. As the launching medicine, the black fire return medicine actually has many disadvantages. If it is used as a breech gun, the power seems to be insufficient. Because, for breech guns, the locking problem always exists. Once the pressure is leaked, the power of the breech gun will be greatly reduced. The breech gun invented by Prussia around 1840 was the black fire return medicine used. However, this breech gun was not needed by Xu Xingxia. What he needed was a more advanced step return gun.

Only smokeless launching drugs can meet the needs of breech guns. It is said that the Black Sorkin bomb reblower can produce smokeless launching drugs to meet the needs of later generations' bullets. I don't know if these things like Black Sorkin bomb reblower produced by the Science and Technology Department can also be done. Xu Xingxia hopes that it is best to do it. Because the unknown explosive reblower produced by the Science and Technology Department has a white paste on the outside, Xu Xingxia decided to name it the White Blower.

Since the Science and Technology Department can make white explosive refrigerants in a daze, Xu Xingxia believes that thunder mercury should also be found as a substitute. After all, in this world, there are more than just substances like thunder mercury that can be used to make fire hats. Materials with the same characteristics as thunder mercury must exist. The key is whether the people in the Science and Technology Department can only discover it. Didn’t the invention of smoky fire refrigerants appear by chance? Everything has a chance.

Also, if there is a railway, it would be even better. The biggest problem with Hami Guard now is that the number of Han Hui people seems to be quite insufficient, and it is impossible to take all this area into your own hands. And to migrate more Han Hui people from the mainland, the cost is very high. Think about it, a large population, with families, migrating from the mainland to Hami Guard, requires crossing mountains and ridges and passing through Gansu Town. The difficulty can be imagined.

However, if there is a train, it is completely different. The transportation capacity of a train is unquestionable. The transportation volume of a train is equal to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of carriages. Just go back and forth easily, a large number of people can be migrated. The Longhai Railway in later generations was one of the most back-to-back railways on the land of China. Basically, it can be said that without the Longhai Railway and its branches, there would be no overall development of the Northwest region.

The most common saying in later generations is that the sphere of influence will be expanded wherever the railway goes. From a military strategy point of view, the role of a railway line is simply not an exaggeration. The rapid and large amount of transportation capabilities and powerful radiation capabilities have made the railway line an important means for the future expansion of the White Army. It should be noted that the biggest trouble of expanding to the Western Regions is logistics transportation. The use of mules and horses is outdated. Railway transportation must be used.

If the White Army leads the railway back to Xinjiang and then to Europe... Hehe, as long as you think about it, you will feel extremely excited! The White Army is fighting in front, and the railway is extending forward from behind. The trains are filled with soldiers and supplies. No matter how tenacious the opponent is, in front of such a steel monster, there is only one who raises his hand to surrender. Of course, it is okay not to surrender. Then you will be beaten to death.

In Xu Xingxia's eyes, the railway lines were like ropes that could bind the enemy and make them unable to move at all. For example, if Hami Guard had a railway line, the Tatars would have been unable to stay there long ago. Because, around the railway line, a large number of towns would inevitably rise, and a large number of foreign populations would inevitably come. In the face of powerful foreign threats, the Tatars could only shrink back to the desert. Didn't the native Americans in later generations be constantly eroded by the railway lines?

What? Can't do it? Impossible? At this stage, airplanes, cars, ships, etc. may still be a little difficult, and the technology is too different. However, trains are completely possible. Stephenson, in history, seemed to have already developed the first train around 1825. Subsequently, the world's railway construction entered an era of rapid development.

To be honest, early steam locomotives did not have any technical content. As long as the horsepower of the steam engine is large enough, it can be used as a locomotive. As for laying railway tracks, it is even simpler. With Ningxia Town's current steel and ironmaking technology, it can completely meet the needs. There is no problem with cement. With him, a time traveler, he will give guidance to the railway to appear twice a year in advance, so that the railway will appear soon.

Of course, Xu Xingxia didn't understand the specific technical details. Perhaps, in some aspects he didn't know, it would be a little difficult. However, he had enough reason to believe that as long as the locomotive was done, other technical details would be fine. Can living people still suffocate to death? At worst, they would pave the railway first and then use horses to pull the train. Horse-drawn trains have also appeared in history. Anyway, there are no shortages of horses in the northwest region now. As the white-clothed military control returned to the surrounding areas of Guihua City, there were countless horses.

"train……"

"Burrowed gun..."

Xu Xingxia fell into deep longing.

...

Five days later, Xu Xingxia and his team arrived in Handong Zuowei (Dunhuang).

The main force of the Lion Cavalry is currently competing for Hami City. The Tatars around Hami City did not confront the White-Clothed Cavalry on the front, but instead adopted sporadic harassment. It appeared in the east for a while and in the west for a while, which made the White-Clothed Cavalry very troubled. Basically, the White-Clothed Cavalry could only be in a passive defensive position and it was difficult to take the initiative to attack.

The power of the Sun and Moon Gun must be concentrated and used to avoid fire partitions. Therefore, the cavalry of the White Clothes are generally operated in small teams. In other words, each team of white Clothes has at least about sixty people. The total force of the Lion Cavalry is more than 8,000, and it can form such a small group to return to the team, which is about 100. Because they are concentrated and will not be separated easily, they can be regarded as more than 100 combat individuals.

This configuration method can effectively counterattack when attacked by the Tatar cavalry and will not suffer a great loss. If a large group of Tatar cavalry swarmed up, it will give the White-Clothed Cavalry a chance to kill and kill collectively. Morigen and Lin Danhan both failed like this. The more frontal the battle between the two sides, the more people dispatched, the greater the advantage the White-Clothed Cavalry has. On the contrary, the more sporadic the battles between the two sides are, the more erratic the more uncertain the White-Clothed Cavalry will suffer. Especially in pursuit. The White-Clothed Cavalry wants to chase the Tatar cavalry, which is basically beyond its ability. All this is back to the most fundamental flaw of the Sun and Moon Gun.

The Sun and Moon Gun is a front-loaded gun that cannot be reloaded on the horse's back. Unless you do not fire the shot back, it means that you must stop chasing and dismount and reload the rebate medicine. The Sun and Moon Gun without rebate medicine is a fire stick. However, when you reload the rebate medicine, the Tartars will run away long ago, and it is impossible for you to catch up again.

What's more, when reloading the rebate, you may be counterattacked by the Taurus cavalry. Without the cover of other companions, the White-Clothed Cavalry will be very dangerous. You may not be able to kill the Taurus cavalry with one shot. It is inevitable that the shooting on the horse's back has a low accuracy rate. However, the Taurus cavalry can shoot five or six arrows back at you in succession. This is also the fundamental reason why the White-Clothed Cavalry rarely moves alone.

As a result, the White-Clothed Cavalry could not control the larger area. There were only more than one hundred combat individuals, how could they control such a large place? In terms of image, how could more than one hundred white-Clothed Cavalry look back and control the entire Hami Guard? There must be many loopholes in the middle of each combat individual, allowing the Tatar Reich cavalry to appear at will.

However, if the more than 8,000 people of the Lion Cavalry are each an effective combat individual, it would be completely different. More than 8,000 combat individuals and more than 100 combat individuals are simply the difference between heaven and earth. More than 8,000 people spread into every corner of the Hami Guard, which would completely allow the Tatars to have no living space at all. The only choice for the Tatars was to withdraw from this area.

"Sir, there are enemies!"

Suddenly, the scout from the hunting cavalry came to report.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Before he finished speaking, fierce gunfire sounded in front of him.

Xu Xingxia held up a thousand-mile mirror and looked at the battlefield coldly. In fact, there was nothing special about the battle. It should be a Tatar who was trying to struggle to die. He accidentally discovered Xu Xingxia and the others. Just as Xu Xingxia was escorted by him, they were only 300 hunting cavalrymen around him, so they became interested and thought that they could get some oil from Xu Xingxia and the others. In fact, the number of this Tatar cavalry was not large, only more than one hundred people. They were very brave.

The soldiers of the hunting cavalry dismounted one after another, relying on their mounts as cover, kept firing back and counterattacking. Minnie bullets with large fingers hit the Tatars cavalry, constantly lifting them off the horse's back. The most powerful Tatars cavalry were all knocked into hornets' veins, with blood holes on their bodies constantly blew. For such a battle, the hunting cavalry was simply familiar with the way, and it was not difficult at all.
