“Is it really four to five meters long?”
In the main hall, Xiao Ming paced back and forth.
“Yes, there’s no mistake. Also, the barrel is very thick. Your Highness, I believe this cannon is designed for siege warfare,” Wang Xuan said.
“If, as you say, this cannon is for siege use, then it makes sense,” Xiao Ming said, furrowing his brows.
The Urbán cannon in history was a famous siege weapon. The Ottoman Empire used it to breach the walls of Constantinople. However, these massive cannons were extremely cumbersome and were assembled piece by piece. They had to be transported in segments and reassembled on the battlefield.
Xiao Ming didn’t quite believe the barbarians would use such a cannon as their main artillery. After all, Bei Shan had already witnessed the range of Qingzhou’s cannons on the steppe.
“However, when I infiltrated the firing range, I saw traces of other types of cannonballs. I suspect the barbarians have more than one type of cannon,” Wang Xuan continued. “I planned to stay undercover and investigate further, but I was exposed and had to escape.”
Xiao Ming nodded. This did indeed fit the barbarian’s character. He couldn’t believe Bei Shan would craft something similar to a “huo huo” cannon again, like last time.
