New Ming Empire mixed in America

"You two are the only ones left in this team?"

Joseph's voice was full of surprise.

Because a large amount of war preparation materials flowed into Los Angeles during this period, he had already regarded the Orientals in Los Angeles as regular troops.

But he never imagined that the cavalry he sent out would be almost wiped out.

"Sir, there are too many of them. I feel like there were at least thirty people ambushing us."

The shocked cavalrymen are still frightened by the seemingly overwhelming rain of bullets.

Without even seeing the opponent's face, teammates were killed one by one by the enemy with rapid and dense bullets.

Judging from the concentration of smoke emitted by the rifle, there were at least thirty people on the other side ambushing in the woods.

"Sean, Sean!" Joseph shouted to Sean, the commander of the cavalry company.

After a while, Captain Sean walked out of a nearby tent and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Take some people to give those Easterners some color. Let those monkeys know that even the members of our ninth regiment hiding in the forest will capture them and peel them off!"

Joseph patted the son of his old friend.

Although this young man named Sean has just become the commander of the cavalry company, he recruited and equipped almost half of the cavalry under his command.

So he asked this little guy to go out and get some military exploits first, which could be regarded as special care for the son of an old friend.

The way Westerners usually train their children is to put them on the horse and give them a ride, so Joseph treats Sean as his own son and nephew!

Soon, more than 80 cavalrymen, led by Sean, rushed towards the location where the cavalry reconnaissance team was attacked.

A dozen of these cavalrymen were equipped with the latest Spencer cavalry rifles.

This was a clever trick the War Department came up with to deal with that annoying guy Spencer.

It was estimated that it would have been almost half a year before the rifles were equipped to the troops on the West Coast and the feedback from the soldiers was reported back to the War Department.

Then you can find any excuse to get rid of that annoying weapons dealer.

But for cavalry, the performance of this rifle can be said to be very good.

At this time, the Spencer lever rifle's rate of fire of nearly 20 rounds per minute, plus the ammunition capacity of 7 rounds, was enough to defeat the then-rivaled Soko rifle.

Its magazine is located inside the butt of the gun. The bullet is pushed into the receiver through the spring at the bottom. When the lever is closed, it is pushed into the chamber.

Relying on the precise lever mechanism, rapid shooting can be achieved.

And it is worth mentioning that this rifle used the most advanced rimfire metal fixed bullets at the time.

Although it has the disadvantage of having to cock the hammer every time it fires, this rifle is very popular among Sean's cavalry company.

In order to equip his men, Sean even ordered thirty Spencer rifles at his own expense, and purchased a full 6,000 bullets.

No way, although this kind of rifle is easy to use, it consumes a lot of bullets.

If it weren't for Sean's father being a big factory owner.

It is estimated that Sean's current thoughts are the same as those officials in the War Department who have made great contributions to the "family planning" of the United States.

That is: "No, no need, too wasteful!"

In fact, this was the case. Historically, arms dealer Spencer also recommended this weapon to the War Department.

After trying it out, the War Department was very moved and rejected his weapon on the spot. The reason was that the weapon fired too fast and they thought soldiers would waste ammunition on the battlefield.

This cavalry rifle, which was so brilliant in the Civil War, was only equipped in large quantities to the northern government army in 1863.

Because at that time, Spencer felt that the gang of bumpkins in the War Department were weak, so he planned to show the gun directly to Lincoln, then President of the Union.

Spencer took the gun and bullets, evaded the sentry and sneaked into the White House. He got his wish and met Lincoln, and showed the excellent performance of this gun to the government army commander.

I don’t know whether Lincoln was frightened or really impressed by the outstanding performance of this gun.

Mr. Spencer got his wish and got an order for 13,171 rifles. This day was called Spencer's lucky day.

By the way, the people responsible for protecting Lincoln at that time were the agents of the famous Pinkerton Detective Agency.

I believe readers who have played Cousin 2 should all know about this detective agency. These Pinkerton detectives, who have sharper noses than dogs, are quite awesome.

Moreover, these Pinkerton detectives served as Lincoln's security during the war, and they foiled many assassinations against him during the war.

By the way, when Lincoln was assassinated, the bodyguards responsible for protecting his safety had been replaced by "amateur bodyguards" Pinkerton detectives to "professional bodyguards" the United States Army.

"Company commander, that's the forest in front of you. Look, Andrew's horses are still lying there."

The surviving cavalry scout responsible for leading the way pointed to the forest at the foot of the hillside.

Sean looked in the direction of his finger and saw the bodies of eight cavalrymen lying quietly on the spot.

It seems that the other party only took away some valuable things and did not chop off the enemy's head like the legend said.

Putting down the telescope, Sean sent a small team to quickly rush towards the forest.

These cavalrymen leaned tightly on their horses, rode their horses to a large circle, and ran wildly along the edge of the forest for a while.

After finding that no one was attacking them, the cavalry slowed down slightly and ran wildly along the edge of the forest again.

This time they were still not attacked, so Sean concluded that the attackers had already evacuated.

With a wave of his hand, he led his men to the dead cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry team that had arrived first had dismounted and started searching along the forest. However, the outpost covered by camouflage nets was not easy to find.

Sean jumped off his horse, took off his hat and saluted the dead cavalry with a serious face, lowered his head and prayed silently before ordering the corpses to be collected.

"Take all these brave gentlemen back. When I catch those yellow-skinned monkeys, I will definitely scalp them with my own hands and put them in front of the graves of these soldiers."

After Sean finished his speech about sharing the same hatred with the enemy, he prepared to lift a corpse and put it on the back of the horse with his own hands.

However, Sean, whose eyes were both 2.5, found a thin rope extending from the neck of the deceased when he just lifted the body.

Seeing this rope, Sean's back felt a chill for no reason.

After seeing other people starting to move the corpses, he immediately shouted: "Don't move these corpses yet..."

It's a pity that he shouted too late. Before he could shout, a cavalryman with quick hands and feet had already carried the body of his companion on his back.

And beneath the corpse, a burst of white smoke was slowly rising.

"Damn it, Fuck!" Sean only had time to sigh, and there was a fire in front of him.

With the loud noise, a dozen cavalrymen who were preparing to take the corpses of their companions back turned into corpses that needed others to take them back.

Generally good-looking guys tend to have good luck, and the same goes for Sean.

Because he subconsciously avoided it, he was not killed on the spot. It was just that in the second half of his life, he changed from walking on his own to not needing to walk on his own.

But this small setback is obviously not a big problem for rich second-generation Sean.

Just as the cavalrymen were hurriedly gathering their horses that were frightened by the sudden explosion.

On the hillside that Sean and the others passed by just now, two Wehrmacht soldiers who were lying in a pit using binoculars to observe the explosion site sent back a sentence through the intercom:

“The quantity is large and the food is wide, so it is recommended to lose weight.”
