"Yes, sir!"

Ike answered, and ran quickly to the side of the warhorse.

I saw a wooden frame behind the war horse, and the wooden frame was connected to a large bulging object behind it.

The object was covered with a heavy cowhide cloth at the moment, and although the little nobles were very curious about what it was, they couldn't find out about it for the time being.

Ike came to the horse's side, pulled the reins of the horse, and slowly pulled the horse in front of Gervais and the other minor nobles.

Gervais didn't say a word, and directly lifted the piece of cowhide cloth behind the war horse in the expectant eyes of everyone.

Wow!

What caught my eye in an instant was a thick iron rod!

That's right! The little nobles used the iron rod to describe the small steel cannon, because they did not know what the small steel cannon represented.

I saw that the whole body of the small steel cannon was black, which was for anti-corrosion and concealment, and Gvester asked the craftsman to paint it with black wood paint, otherwise the original appearance of the small steel cannon would be silver shiny.

The muzzle of the small steel cannon is the size of a bowl, the tip is wide at the top and the bottom, and the tail of the barrel is slightly raised, here is to increase the strength of the small steel cannon, although it is also forged with mythril, but in order to be used for a long time, Gervais still slightly thickened the bottom barrel.

The total weight of the small steel cannon is more than 400 catties, and it has been fixed on the simple gun carriage designed by Gervais at this moment.

The turret was made of a mixture of wood and iron, and was flanked on two large wheels for easy handling.

Behind the gun carriage are two pillars that can be closed or broken apart to form a figure-of-eight.

This gun carriage was also drawn by Gervais according to the impressions of his previous life, and then perfected by the blacksmith and carpenter of the Tiangong Stone House.

"Gervais, what is this? Is it a large musket? ”

Alice had also carefully observed the structure of the arquebus, so she saw that although the small steel cannon was much thicker, it was also hollow in the middle, so she immediately thought of this possibility.

"Large muskets? Hehe, forget it! Alice, you'll find out later! ”

Hearing the question of his cheap wife who had never seen the market, Gervais blinked and laughed, this is the best experience of a traverser, everyone is ignorant, only I know!

To put it simply: it's time to pretend again!

Gervais's voice fell, and Ike had already taken the gunpowder and cannonballs that had been prepared long ago, and began to reload.

Although they had never used artillery, they were very skilled in using muskets, so they didn't need Gervais to do it himself, and several people quickly reloaded the cannon.

In the end, Gervais himself poked with an iron chisel in the small hole reserved at the end of the gun, and then stuffed a lead of about ten centimeters.

During this time, all the minor nobles unconsciously moved their feet, approaching the artillery, wanting to see what was going on.

Cord and Pat were even more dead, and ran to the front of the cannon with curiosity, sticking their heads out and looking inside the barrel with curiosity on their faces.

"Big brother, you two have to change this habit!"

Gervais couldn't complain.

"Alright, everyone, now please stand back, and it's better to cover your ears, and don't blame me if you're scared later!"

Gervais waved his hand and began to chase people, especially Pat and Kurt, who were the two dead monsters!

The small nobles looked at it for a long time and didn't see any clues about the small steel cannon, but after hearing Gervais's words, they were very cooperative, and hurriedly retreated four or five meters back.

Gervais ignored them, walked directly behind the small steel cannon, and began to aim.

To be honest, Gervais has never fired a cannon before, so his aim is only aimed in the direction of accuracy, and as for the angle of the artillery, he can only estimate it.

The direction is easy to control, but the muzzle level of the gun must need to be calibrated by several shots.

Because the trebuchets on the city walls were all placed in the middle, it was impossible for Gervais's artillery to hit the trebuchets if they fired directly.

In order to hit the trebuchet, it is necessary to make the projectile of the gun appear parabolic.

"This angle should be about the same!"

After muttering and adjusting the angle of the small steel cannon, Gervais clapped his hands, and walked to the side, about ten meters away from the small steel cannon.

"Again, everyone stay away and cover your ears! I'm going to shoot! ”

When the little nobles heard Gervais's words, they were curious and unimpressed.

Gervais didn't remind him anymore, and when he saw that Alice had also come to his side, he covered his ears as he was reminded, so he smiled at her, and then opened his mouth to order Ike.

"Ike, fire!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ike immediately respectfully complied, took the torch from Alec's hand on the side, and put the torch on the lead of the small steel cannon!

Hiss......

Thundered!

As the fuse burned rapidly, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of minor nobles, Gervais's freshly baked steel cannon finally let out its first roar!

The sound of the cannon fire was earth-shattering, and even Gervais felt a buzzing in their heads as they covered their ears.

Those little nobles took several steps back in pieces at the moment when the small steel cannon exploded, and their faces were a little ugly.

The charge of this small steel cannon is worth several reinforced grenades! The momentum of the explosion can be imagined.

"It turns out that Viscount Gervais didn't say much, such a momentum must be able to cause a lot of damage to the city, right?"

As soon as the Lord Earl opened, he told everyone that Gervais had a plan to break through the city, so that everyone did not need to worry, and everyone was skeptical.

But now the crowd is somewhat convinced!

As the smoke slowly cleared, the small nobles craned their necks to look at the city ahead.

Such a big momentum, but it is more terrifying than a large trebuchet, and the city wall must have suffered a lot of damage!

“？？？”

It's just that when everyone stared at the city wall and searched hard, they didn't find even a trace of abnormality on the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall were vaguely visible, all pointing at this side, but there was no panic.

The little nobles had just stood behind the cannon, obscured by the rising smoke, but Gervais and Alice were standing on the side, and they could vaguely see that the cannonball should have flown over the city wall and landed in White Rock City!

"Ahem! The angle is a little high! Wait for me to turn it down! ”

Although Gervais's cannon was originally for calibration, looking at the expectant eyes of those little nobles and the flashing beautiful eyes of his cheap wife, Gervais was a little embarrassed.

It's a shame! I hope that the next shot can save the face of my own traverser!

After the first shot was fired, Ike and the others quickly stepped forward, took tools and began to clean the chamber, and after the chamber was cleared, they began to load ammunition.

Gervais stepped forward slowly, and when they were finished, he adjusted the angle of the small anti-aircraft gun again.

"This time I have to hit, otherwise not only will I lose face, but my gunpowder will also be precious!"

Gervais muttered silently, then quickly adjusted the angle of the shot again.

This time, without Gervais's reminder, a group of small nobles had already run far away, dozens of meters away from the small steel cannon.

Obviously, he had learned the lesson he had just learned, and at the same time wanted to see what the little steel cannon was used for other than making loud noises and smoke.

"Fire!"

Thundered!

As the flames erupted, the smoke filled the air, and the small steel cannon once again fired.

Bang!

Suddenly, the rumble of the small steel cannon here had not yet fallen, but there was suddenly a place on the city wall more than 500 meters away, where stone chips were flying, and people were turning on their backs.

"Good!"

Gervais spoke loudly, the blow hitting the wall accurately, and literally destroying a small trebuchet, which finally saved him a lot of face.

After cheering, Gervais silently noted the angle he had just adjusted.

"Ike, keep loading!"

Gervais prepared to weigh the hot iron, and in turn cleared the trebuchets on the city walls.

The dam could be completed by noon, and the drop in the water level of the river was already evident in the distance.

Gervais was ready to get rid of the dozens of trebuchets on the walls by noon, and in the afternoon he would be able to cross the riverbed to carry out his siege plan.
