Large caliber (8" and larger) mounted on very large self-propelled carriages. That probably requires locomotive sized propulsion in that era.

If you consider the dieselpunk option: some motorcycle mounted cavalry, or four wheel drive or light half-tracks for the cavalry recon role (an early LRDG or SAS)
 
Check out the topic "French Zeppelins and German Aeroplanes" for a discussion of steam lifted and propelled semirigid airships. Entirely feasible.
