"Is it really four or five meters long?"

In the main hall, Xiao Ming paced back and forth.

"It's impossible to be wrong, and the gun is very thick. Your Highness and the officials are thinking that this cannon must be used to attack the city." Wang Xuan said.

"If it's as you said, then this cannon is indeed used to attack the city." Xiao Ming frowned.

Urban artillery was a famous siege cannon in history. The Ottoman Empire used this kind of cannon to bombard the walls of Constantinople. However, this kind of cannon was very bulky and spliced ​​together.

During wartime, it requires transportation and assembly on the battlefield.

However, it is a tiring task to forge such a rosy thing, and Urban is a technological product from the mid-15th century. Although it is powerful, its range is also very short.

He was a little unbelievable that the barbarians would use this kind of artillery as the main artillery. After all, Bei Shan had seen the range of Qingzhou artillery on the grassland.

"It was just that when the lower official sneaked into the test site, he saw another mark of shells on the ground. The lower official suspected that the barbarians had more than one type of artillery, so he planned to continue lurking. Unexpectedly, it was exposed at this time and had to escape back." Wang Xuan said.

Wang Xuan said this, and he nodded, which was in line with the characteristics of the barbarians. He didn't believe that Bei Shan created something like Huihuan, just like last time.

This thing must be left for the last siege.

Wang Xuan talked about being betrayed many times, and he couldn't help but ask: "Who betrayed you."

"It's also a caravan from the Great Yu Kingdom, but this caravan comes from Zhaodi. They seem to be spying on the barbarian artillery, and we were discovered by them." Wang Xuan said.

"Zhao Di? It seems that he is the King of Zhao. This has made you suffer. Since the last time he asked Zhao Yuanliang to go back, Zhao has always held a grudge against me. At this time, he is also his style as Zhao Wang. If you are slapped, he will be repaid. Who doesn't know him?"

"It's just that it delayed us from further exploring the barbarian artillery." Wang Xuan was a little unhappy.

"It's okay, I have already made some trouble. Since the Urban cannon appears, the barbarian artillery skills are not much better than that." Xiao Ming said confidently.

First of all, through the color, it means that the barbarians cast bronze cannons, which shows that the barbarians have not mastered the technology of iron cannons.

In this way, the barbarians have to spend a lot of money to cast cannons, which is a matter of spending money inside.

Because of the quality of steel and iron mold casting, his artillery can not only be produced in large quantities, but also has good quality and low price. After all, iron is relatively cheap compared to copper, otherwise copper would not be used as an ancient currency, because there is less copper.

Wang Xuan nodded, "It's just that this time I was almost killed by King Zhao's people. Your Highness, I really can't swallow my breath."

"Hmph, since King Zhao is so unwilling to give me face, I don't have to give him face. Li San has found out a lot of Zhao's whereabouts during this period. I'll hand these people over you and kill them all." Xiao Ming's voice was chilling.

Wang Xuan sneered gloomyly, "Your Highness, it seems that King Zhao is about to go crazy for artillery matters. Now he sends people everywhere to spy on artillery technology."

"That's natural. King Zhao is very ambitious and always wants to replace my Xiao family. Now that Qingzhou cannons are out and the imperial guards are equipped with cannons, King Zhao has to consider whether his Xuan-armored Iron Cavalry can conquer Chang'an." Xiao Ming said.

"With the barbarians' lesson in Cangzhou, King Zhao was naturally uneasy." Wang Xuan said with a smile, "But Your Highness, although we were exposed to the barbarians this time, the officials did not let them have a good time. They also exposed their identities. When the barbarians chased us, they were also chasing them. Now King Zhao not only cut off the fine works of Qingzhou, but also cut off the fine works of the barbarians. In this way, he could only buy artillery from Qingzhou. At that time, Your Highness should not show mercy."

Xiao Ming could imagine Wang Xuan's danger at that time. Fortunately, the barbarians are different from the Great Yu Kingdom and do not like to live in a city surrounded by city walls, otherwise Wang Xuan would not be able to escape.

He narrowed his eyes. Since Zhao Yuanliang left last time, the artillery transaction has been interrupted.

In addition to the court, only King Wei, King Chu, King Liang and King Yong sent people to contact him, and also placed orders. Military workshops were producing export-type artillery for them.

These orders also brought him huge profits. It is precisely because of this that he had the money to make such a big deal in Qingzhou.

"Hmph, he is not kind, so don't blame me for being unrighteous." Xiao Ming said with a hatred.

This time Wang Xuan was injured and exposed his identity, which will bring many inconveniences to the collection of information on the grassland in the future.

King Zhao's behavior was clearly intended to make Xiao Mingcheng blind, and he would be caught off guard by the barbarians.

In his plan, he probably hoped that the barbarians could take the city of Cangzhou and go south, so that the two pillars of the royal family would fall.

At that time, King Zhao could start the price.

When Wang Xuan went back to rest and recover, Xiao Ming frowned at this time. After so long, the barbarians were forging artillery were finally confirmed.

In this way, I'm afraid the decisive battle between him and Bei Shan in Youzhou is not far away.

Bei Shan suffered humiliation in Shengdu last battle in Cangzhou. This time he must have brought the army to regain his lost reputation.

And this time the revenge must be fierce.

But Xiao Ming is also waiting for this opportunity. The flintlock rifle assembly will give him the ability to fight the barbarians in the wild.

In this way, he and Zhan Xingchang's fortress promotion plan can continue to be implemented, so that he can erode the land of Youzhou step by step until he drives the barbarians out of Youzhou and regain the former Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming clenched his fists. During this period, he had to hold on to the production of the flintlock rifle, and it would take at least three months of training after the flintlock rifle came out. This was still a long process.

However, this is also a long process for Bei Shan.

In Shengdu, in a silver tent, Bei Shan closed his eyes slightly.

In front of him was an Ottoman with curly hair, brown eyes, and a high nose.

"Are you sure the Urban artillery can smash the city walls of Cangzhou?" Bei Shan said coldly.

"Beshan Taiji, please believe me. The Urban artillery once bombarded the strongest city wall, and the city wall of the Great Yu Kingdom was even more vulnerable." The Ottoman craftsman looked at Beshan in awe.

He was plundered when the barbarians captured the city, and in that city they were forging artillery.

Bei Shan nodded. A few days ago, detailed works from Dayu Kingdom appeared in Sheng, which is enough to show that Dayu Kingdom is also afraid of artillery.

"I hope you're right, otherwise I will cut off your head when the time comes." Bei Shan said sternly.

When the craftsman heard this, he was so scared that his body shook. At this moment, a guard suddenly came in and said, "Taiji, the messenger of Goryeo has arrived."
