My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 385 Tearful to do it

Gervais’ shelling took two hours in total, and twenty shots were fired in those two hours.

The reason it took so long was because Gervais was worried that the continuous firing of the gun would damage the structure of the gun, so he would let the gun cool down for ten minutes after firing five shots in a row.

Although the artillery is forged with mithril, you probably don’t have to worry about the damage caused by such a low-intensity firing, but Gervais only brought this artillery this time, so he had to be cautious.

The twenty artillery shots also achieved brilliant results, directly destroying seventeen small trebuchets on the west city wall.

Of course, the defenders on the city wall didn’t just let the trebuchets be set aside to target Gervais.

At first, after Gervais destroyed four trebuchets in a row, the defenders finally did not dare to neglect, thinking of blocking the sight with a curtain in front of the trebuchets, so that Gervais could not aim at the target.

However, their plans fell through.

Because Gervais used the telescope to see clearly on the first day, there is a reserved platform every 50 meters on the city wall of Baiyan City, and all the trebuchets must be placed on this platform.

Therefore, as long as Gervais adjusts the spacing and the angle of the muzzle, he can completely ignore other factors.

Next, after Gervais once again eliminated the five trebuchets in White Rock City, the defenders on the city wall finally realized that something was wrong.

If Gervais were allowed to go on like this, all their trebuchets would be destroyed by the inexplicably sharp noise and smoke outside the city wall.

So, the defenders began to dismantle the remaining intact trebuchets.

This catapult is no different than an artillery gun. It is extremely cumbersome to disassemble and install. It is even more necessary to pry out the rivets embedded in the city wall for fixing first. Gervais took out two.

Fortunately, the remaining trebuchets were finally dismantled and sent down the city wall.

Since then, there has been no silhouette of small trebuchets on the west city wall.

In addition, even the defenders on the city wall would subconsciously shrink their heads whenever they heard the sound of artillery explosions, because no less than ten defenders were accidentally wounded and killed by the artillery.

These people all pretended to be tragic. Some of them even had a cannonball pierced through the center of their bodies, and a blood hole the size of a bowl appeared on their bodies, and they could see their backs from the front chest.

……

“Viscount Gervais, where did you get this iron pipe weapon? Can you sell it?”

“Yes! Viscount Gervais, Can you sell one to me when I go back, I’m willing to buy it with fifty gold coins!”

“What kind of iron pipe weapon, haven’t you heard? Viscount Gervais just said that this thing It’s called a small steel cannon!”

“This little steel cannon is so magical and its name is so nice, how could it be only worth fifty gold coins! I am willing to buy one hundred gold coins, Viscount Gervais! If If possible, I’ll pay you half of the deposit now!”

When the shocking rumble of guns finally stopped, a group of small nobles in the back quickly gathered over, looking like The undressed peerless beauty looked at the small steel cannon, while the other side kept moving towards Gervais and asked if the small steel cannon could be sold.

Today is really an eye-opener for them. This little steel cannon is not only powerful and majestic when it fires, but its formidable power is also terrifying.

It can be seen from the blasted gaps in the city wall of Baiyan City in the distance.

One of the cannonballs is due to the negligence of Gervais. The angle of the muzzle is lowered a little, and it is shot directly on the city wall. The whole cannonball is directly embedded in the wall, which is even more prominent. The huge might of the small steel cannon.

“Everyone! Everyone! Listen to me!”

Gervais was surrounded by the small nobles and asked, and suddenly felt his head was big, so he immediately waved his hands to silence everyone.

Seeing Gervais speak, everyone quickly became quiet.

“Everyone, everyone is a vassal of the Jones family, I’ll tell you the truth!”

“This little steel cannon is actually the only one I have. I found it in the back room of Viscount Majoel’s castle, and I don’t know how and where the small steel cannon was forged, so I can’t sell the small steel cannon to everyone!”

Gervais opened his eyes directly. Start talking nonsense.

Of course, this is not to blame for Gervais. It is not bad that the vassals of the Jones family know about such a weapon as a small anti-aircraft gun.

But if the king and other great nobles knew about the existence of the small steel cannon and raised their coveted hearts, not to mention other things, when the time comes Alice will definitely be under a lot of pressure.

After listening to Gervais’ explanation, all the little nobles showed extremely disappointed expressions.

They still believed Gervais’s words to some extent, because they had never seen or heard of such a thing as a small steel cannon. Where to get it, the treasure stored in the castle.

“Okay, everyone, now the trebuchets on the city wall have been resolved, you guys hurry up and send the people I told you earlier and the carriage to the camp gate, we’re going to the next step The siege plan is ready!”

Seeing that these little nobles really believed it, Gervais was overjoyed, which would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

“Yeah! Now the most important thing is to siege the city and win the reward!”

“Okay, Viscount Gervais, wait a moment, we will go back and send people out immediately!”

The little aristocrats who were still a little lost, heard Gervais’ words, and their spirits were lifted again. They hurriedly said goodbye to Gervais and Alice, and then quickly moved towards the camp.

……

“Gervais, do you really only have one gun?”

After the small nobles were all gone, there were no Alice who opened her mouth finally spoke.

Of course she didn’t believe Gervais’s previous nonsense, she knew that this so-called small steel gun should be similar to those muskets of Gervais.

“Alice, there is really only one small steel cannon at present!”

“The whole body of this small steel cannon is also forged with mithril, and there are four or five under the black paint. An inscription, the cost is very high!”

“Of course, compared to its high cost, the formidable power it exerts is also very worthwhile! However, this small steel cannon cannot be used on a large scale after all. !”

Gervais saw Alice’s flashing beautiful eyes, and knew that this cheap wife was also impressed by the strength of the small steel gun, so she didn’t hide it and told her directly.

“Why can’t it be used on a large scale? Could it be the problem of gunpowder you said?”

Alice frowned at first, but immediately thought of the problem that Gervais had mentioned before about the scarcity of gunpowder, Guessed why.

“That’s right, Alice! Gunpowder is very rare!”

“I just fired 20 times, which directly consumed most of the gunpowder I brought this time. But all my inventory! So even if the cannon can be made, the cannon is useless without gunpowder.”

Gervais seriously nodded.

“Oh!”

Alice’s fantasies about the small steel cannon were instantly extinguished. She originally wanted to order one or two small steel cannons from Gervais to use as the Jones family. The background of the scorpion, like those large trebuchets, these are all strategic weapons that can be used as big nobles.

“Uh…Alice, you don’t have to be disappointed! If I find extra gunpowder in the future, I’ll give you another one! How about it?”

See Alice Depressed, Gervais felt a little unbearable for some reason, and without thinking about it, a sentence popped out of his mouth.

However, after saying this, Gervais regretted it again.

How can there be excess gunpowder? Even if I can upgrade golden spiritworm to Great Spirit at last, the nitrate mine in that space is limited.

If the scope of use of gunpowder is expanded in the future, even if it is a Great Spirit space, Gervais feels that it is not enough for him to use it for a lifetime.

“Thank you, Gervais!”

Hearing Gervais’s consoling words, Alice didn’t know Gervais’s mental activity, she was obviously moved by him, and her eyes lit up. With a strange look, a beautiful smile appeared on her pretty face again.

Suddenly, Gervais felt the pores all over his body tremble, and he was lost in Alice’s smile.

“Cheap wife! How can you make me feel good!”

Seeing Alice’s beautiful smile blooming in front of him, Gervais felt a tinge of guilt for no reason. My cheap wife must have taken her words seriously, but she unexpectedly raised a heart of remorse.

“Ai, what you say, you have to do it with tears!”

Gervais finally fell down in front of the Beauty Pass, thinking in his heart that if the gunpowder is true in the future If I have enough money, I will really give Alice a small steel cannon.

……

The two continued to talk for a while, and after Ike and the others packed up the small steel cannons, they returned to the camp gate together.

“Lord Alice, Viscount Gervais, these are my people and the carriage!”

“Lord Alice…”

When Gervais and Alice were in After waiting for more than ten minutes at the entrance of the camp, the little nobles in the camp came to the entrance of the camp with the people and the carriage that Gervais explained in advance.

As the troops arrived one after another, thousands of people soon gathered at the gate of the camp.

Although most of these people were in serf garb, no weapons, no armor.

But Gervais has no problem, he doesn’t need these people to fight with the enemy, he just prepares them to do coolies.

“Okay! Now you all people listen to my instructions. The person on my left, you are responsible for making two 30-meter-wide passages on the river beach. The passages must ensure that the carriage can pass the customs smoothly. , won’t sink in.”

“People on my right hand, now you take the carriage to the bottom of the dirt slope over there, and load all the felled Haloxylon trees on the carriage ! Then wait for my order!”

Seeing that the crew was almost there, Gervais stood directly on a carriage and began to direct the action!
