Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...
Ding Xiaogen and Zhang Xiaosan, who were standing next to Xiang Yu, quickly shook their heads.
"General, the time is not yet ripe."
"The city tower is so far away, yet you can still fire cannons. You're telling me the time isn't right? Hurry up and fire a couple of shots so I can see for myself," Xiang Yu urged quickly.
Ding Xiaogen quickly set up a Tiger Wolf-class cannon and aimed it at the distance.
"General, this cannon is extremely loud, please cover your ears."
"Open fire! Stop with the nonsense! Do you think I, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, am afraid of cannon fire?"
Loading the ammunition, igniting it, the flames hissed and burned along the fuse into the gun hole.
A loud bang.
A single shell was fired.
The shell traced a graceful arc through the air before landing among the enemy ranks.
Immediately afterwards, the shell bounced twice on the ground, flying forward as it bounced.
Wherever the shells passed, the rebel cavalrymen all fell to the ground.
When Xiang Yu saw it, he was immediately dumbfounded.
The shell weighed four or five pounds, but it traveled a distance of two kilometers.
Even though Xiang Yu was born with superhuman strength, he was still quite surprised to see the cannonballs smashing through the air and killing more than a dozen cavalrymen.
"That's awesome! That's awesome!" Xiang Yu suddenly roared, "This thing is even more powerful than my Overlord Bow."
"Bring me that cannon," Xiang Yu said, rushing over and picking up the cannon that Ding Xiao had just fired.
This Francois cannon weighs over 300 jin (approximately 150 kg), and it was an improved version of the cannon developed by Song Yingxing.
Xiang Yu ran off carrying it, grinning at Ding Xiaogen beside him: "Make it ring again."
Upon seeing this, Ding Xiaogen quickly waved his hand and said, "General, please put the cannon down. You can't carry the cannon in your hand."
"This cannon is too powerful; I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
"Stop talking nonsense. Do what I tell you to do." Xiang Yu glared at Ding Xiaogen.
Ding Xiaogen dared not disobey.
He quickly removed the cannon and reloaded it with a new one.
"General, you'd better hold on tight, this cannon is too powerful."
Xiang Yu didn't say anything, but simply assumed a horse stance, raised the cannon high, and carried it on his shoulder.
"Hurry up, I want to hear the sound!" Xiang Yu roared again.
Ding Xiaogen didn't dare to delay and quickly lit a fire with a torch.
*Pfft pfft...* The fuse ignited quickly.
A loud bang.
The cannonball was fired directly, and Xiang Yu did not expect that the Frankish cannon would have such a strong aftereffect!
After the cannonball was fired, Xiang Yu almost missed catching it.
Due to recoil, the muzzle of the cannon rose considerably at the moment of firing.
As a result, the cannonball fired by Xiang Yu traveled the farthest distance.
The shell hit a point two kilometers away before landing on the ground.
The shot hit Chen Youliang's command flag squarely.
*Snap!* A crisp sound.
The flagpole was smashed to pieces.
Chen Youliang's banner fluttered and fell to the ground.
Because Xiang Yu was carrying the Frankish cannon on his shoulder, the explosion sounded right next to his ear.
Xiang Yu felt a buzzing in his ears and then he couldn't hear anything anymore.
It took a long time for Xiang Yu's hearing to return to normal.
"Great, great, let's do it again."
No one expected that Xiang Yu would be able to carry a cannon and fire it.
This is definitely an RPG.
Xiang Yu's chariot had 20 cannons firing simultaneously.
Waves of shells flew along the flanks toward Chen Youliang's cavalry.
Chen Youliang's cavalry had focused all their attention on the city wall ahead, and this sudden attack took them by surprise.
The commander's flag was blown up again, and Chen Youliang's army's morale collapsed.
“Raise the banner again, Jiang Tian’s army has no chance of defeating us.” Chen Youliang touched his bald head. “We have 100,000 men, while they only have a few thousand.”
One hundred thousand versus several thousand.
The advantage lies with me.
Xiang Yu transformed into a war god, carrying a Frankish cannon on each of his two shoulders.
Xiang Yu became more and more excited as the battle progressed.
Ding Xiaogen, who was standing nearby, quickly took out some cotton and stuffed it into Xiang Yu's ears, afraid that he would deafen Xiang Yu.
Jiang Tian, on the other side, heard the booming cannon fire coming from Xiang Yu's train.
He was greatly shocked.
This is not the best time to launch an attack.
Jiang Tian complained, "Is Xiang Yu too impatient?"
Jiang Tian pulled out his monocular telescope and looked towards Xiang Yu's train.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Tian was terrified.
"Does Xiang Yu have a death wish?"
"Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout the ages, and I have witnessed it today."
This is a humanoid tank.
Jiang Tian showered Xiang Yu with praise as he carried two Frankish cannons on his shoulders.
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao, who was standing nearby, became somewhat jealous: "My lord, what did Xiang Yu do that made you praise him so highly?"
Jiang Tian handed the monocular telescope in his hand to Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao took the monocular telescope, pointing the larger end towards himself and the smaller end towards the outside.
"My lord, what is this thing? I can't see anything at all." Li Cunxiao shook his head.
“Li Cunxiao, you’re holding the binoculars upside down. The smaller end of the binoculars should be pointed at your eyes, and the larger end should be pointed in the direction you want to observe.”
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao quickly switched the binoculars.
He looked at what was coming through the telescope and was instantly shocked: "My lord, this truly lives up to its name as a telescope; things in the distance appear as if they are right in front of us."
Li Cunxiao circled around with his binoculars, his gaze settling on Shangguan Wan'er: "What is this thing? It's so white."
