"My lord, how do I operate this cannon?"
Jiang Tian pointed at Song Yingxing: "Song Yingxing will teach you how to fire the cannon."
Remember this, this cannon is the god of war.
With this Franchi cannon, we will be invincible and never be defeated.
Han Xin heard Jiang Tian exaggerate the power of this two-meter-long Frankish cannon.
Gradually, Han Xin began to doubt the power of the cannon.
"My lord, I'll have my apprentices help Commander Han set up all the secondary navigation cannons first."
Jiang Tian nodded.
Song Yingxing whistled, and all 200-plus apprentices ran over.
"Place all these Frankish cannons on the city walls."
"yes……"
At the command, everyone sprang into action.
Song Yingxing has already improved this type of François cannon.
The base of this modified François cannon is completely different from that of the ordinary François cannon.
The base of this Franco cannon was made of wood and had wheels.
It can be pushed along the Franchi bubble and moved quickly.
Moreover, the base of this Frankish cannon also has a telescopic rod.
This telescopic boom allows the cannon to be raised and fired vertically downwards close to the city wall when the enemy approaches.
In this way, the Frankish cannon could bombard from every angle.
The group worked for more than two hours.
The 50 Franchi pickles are now set up.
Seeing that everyone was panting, Jiang Tian quickly asked someone to buy some chilled watermelon.
Everyone ate the chilled watermelon, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort.
In the distance, a troop of scout cavalry returned.
As soon as this scout cavalry unit entered the city, they headed straight for the city gate tower.
"My lord, commander, Chen Youliang is personally leading an army of 100,000 men straight toward our Ye City. Chen Youliang's army is less than a day's journey from here."
"My lord, give the order!" Xiang Yu said urgently, eager to fight Chen Youliang. "Just give the order, and I'll lead my men out and chop off his head right now."
“My lord, me too,” Li Cunxiao said, not wanting to be left behind.
"My lord, Chen Youliang is courting death. If we don't teach him a lesson, this scoundrel will never know his place."
"My lord, Chen Youliang has walked right into our trap, so there's no need for us to be polite to him."
Everyone volunteered to fight.
Han Xin also prepared to mobilize his troops.
Jiang Tian patted the Francois cannons on the city wall.
"Don't worry, when Chen Youliang arrives, I'll let him experience the power of my Frankie cannon."
Everyone looked at the Frankish cannons.
Li Cunxiao scratched his head: "My lord, what is this thing? It's over six feet long and doesn't look like a weapon. If it is a weapon, this thing is too bulky."
Xiang Yu wanted to pick up a powerful cannon and show it off, but before he could make a move, Jiang Tian immediately stopped him.
“Song Yingxing’s men worked hard to set up these cannons, so don’t just pick them up and swing them around.”
Xiang Yu chuckled and scratched his head: "When I lifted the cauldron back then, it weighed a thousand catties. I don't think this thing called a cannon is as heavy as that cauldron."
Han Xin still had some doubts: "Does our lord really expect these 50 dark iron behemoths to be able to repel the enemy?"
Jiang Tian nodded: "If these Frankish cannons can't drive them back, Chen Youliang, you should charge out of the city again and have a good fight with them."
This is your chance to shine.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
It was late at night, inside the government office.
Everyone toasted and drank heartily.
To Jiang Tian's surprise, Song Yingxing had no intention of drinking at all.
Seeing Song Yingxing's furrowed brow, Jiang Tian handed him a glass of watermelon juice: "Song Yingxing, when you should be happy, be happy. What are you thinking about with that frown?"
"My lord, although these 100 Frankish cannons have been built, I would like to build more powerful ones."
"Stop thinking about those things, get me some telescopes next."
"My lord, what is a telescope?" Song Yingxing asked quickly.
"That is, the telescope. People say that the telescope was invented by the Italian scientist Galileo."
But I know that the real inventor of the telescope was Sun Yunqiu from our famous hometown.
As soon as Jiang Tian finished speaking, Song Yingxing patted his chest in affirmation.
“My lord, Old Sun is my friend, what do you think? I’ve met Qianli Jing at his house, and I used to make these often. This thing doesn’t require much skill, and if you want it, I can make you 100 sets within two or three days.”
It has to be Song Yingxing. He's so decisive in his words and actions.
"Okay, make me 100 telescopes within the next two or three days."
The group toasted and drank again, but Song Yingxing had already gotten up early to leave.
Song Yingxing, that guy, if there's anything to be done, he'll do it even if it means working day and night.
This is also an essential basic quality for a scientist.
…………
What Jiang Tian didn't expect was...
The next afternoon, Song Yingxing built a monocular telescope.
This monocular telescope is made of rolled-up sheet metal.
The lenses of this telescope are made of polished crystal.
Not to mention that Song Yingxing polished this crystal to be smoother than glass.
There wasn't a single scratch on the crystal.
"My lord, try this telescope and see how it works."
Song Yingxing opened the binoculars and handed them to Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian stood atop the city wall with binoculars, gazing into the distance.
