Seeing Fang Xiong nodding, Ning Chen quickly said to the ancestor of the Zhang family: "Senior, General Fang may need to discuss the Zhang family's city defense with the head of the Zhang Chi family. I will not be able to accompany my senior for the time being."

When the ancestor of the Zhang family heard this, his face was filled with regret.

Along the way, the ancestors of the Zhang family have really gained a lot.

Although the ancestor of the Zhang family also heard it, Ning Chen answered many of the questions he asked incorrectly.

But any question that Ning Chen answered really inspired him a lot.

So even if there are a little flaws, it doesn't matter at all.

What's more, even if Ning Chen said something that didn't answer the question, it was still of great value.

It can completely answer some other doubts in the minds of the ancestors of the Zhang family.

Although it was regrettable, the ancestor of the Zhang family also expressed his understanding of this matter.

Besides, Ning Chen is not doing other things now, he is planning for their Zhang family.

"Chief Ningyuan, I will take you down."

In this way, it will be delivered directly to noon.

After making it clear that Zhang Chi must entertain Ning Chen with the highest standards, the ancestor of the Zhang family also returned to his study room to record some of what Ning Chen said.

Without the ancestor of the Zhang family, this underachieving student of the Zhang family is by his side.

Ning Chen also felt a lot more relaxed.

While Fang Xiong was communicating with Zhang Chi about some city defense matters, Ning Chen was very relaxed, drinking tea and eating refreshments.

Zhang Chi and Fang Xiong communicated for about an hour.

Basically, it was Fang Xiong who said it, and he couldn't help but nod his head as he listened.

"Head of Ningyuan." Just when Ning Chen was distracted by boredom, Zhang Chi suddenly came to Ning Chen and called out softly.

Ning Chen came back to his senses and asked: "Master Zhang, do you have something to do with me?"

Zhang Chi nodded and said to Ning Chen: "The head of Ning Yuan, General Fang just now, told me that Xincheng can deploy some of the Italian cannon invented by Ning Yuan.

I would like to ask the leader of Ningyuan, how should I buy this Italian cannon?"

Ning Chen glanced at Fang Xiong and didn't expect that Fang Xiong could also be a salesman.

They all help themselves to promote their own Italian guns.

Of course, Ning Chen also believed that the sales of his Italian cannon would not be a problem at all even without Fang Xiong's recommendation.

"Master Zhang, please wait a moment. I will contact Prince Ang to see if there is any stock there. If so, I will ask Prince Ang to send a batch directly."

Ning Chen really doesn't know if Wu Ang has any inventory.

After all, the first batch of five gates are all in their own Baijia City.

Ning Chen doesn't know much about Wu'ang's production capacity in the future.

I contacted Wu Ang using the sound transmission jade talisman, and Wu Ang said that he happened to have five Italian cannons here.

In addition, Yun Xuanzi and others brought over two hundred rounds of artillery shells.

"Master Zhang, Prince Ang happens to have five Italian cannons, and as for the shells, there are a total of two hundred rounds. He can send them all to you first." After ending the call, Ning Chen said to Zhang Chi.

"That's great. I wonder what the price is?"

In terms of price, Ning Chen still planned to respect Wu Ang's proposal.

"Master Zhang, the price is set by Prince Ang. At present, an Italian cannon costs fifteen thousand taels, but in the future it should be reduced to ten thousand taels.

But it's definitely not possible now, so one door costs fifteen thousand taels.

As for the cannonballs, one thousand taels per round, because the cannonballs have the runes engraved on them, so they are a bit more expensive."

Frankly explain the price system to Zhang Chi. As for the quantity, just let Zhang Chi decide it himself.

Zhang Chi was also very happy: "I want all the five Italian cannons, and I want all the shells."

"In this case, the total is 275,000 taels. I'll give you a zero and I'll charge you 270,000 taels." Ning Chen reported the price to Zhang Chi.

"Thank you, Chief Ningyuan."

"I will contact Wu Ang now and ask Wu Ang to arrange the delivery now. If everything goes well, it should be delivered the day after tomorrow."

Ning Chen said while contacting Wu Ang.

Wu'ang's factory itself is in the north. Although the artillery is very heavy, it is transported using space talismans.

So shipping is very fast and very convenient.

"It's time to work."

Zhang Chi said thank you.

Next, because we have to teach Zhang Chi and the others how to use the Italian cannon, we also have to wait for the situation on Yuyuan's side.

So Ning Chen stayed at Zhang's house for two more days.

In the past few days, the underachieving student of the Zhang family, the ancestor of the Zhang family, would come to bother Ning Chen from time to time.

The key is that after he harassed Ning Chen, he also severely criticized the unpromising juniors of the Zhang family.

I feel that these unpromising juniors are guarding a golden mountain like Ning Chen without realizing it.

It's just that the ancestor of the Zhang family completely ignored one issue.

That is the golden mountain of Ning Chen, which has been occupied by him alone these past few days.

Zhang Chi and the others do have questions they want to ask, but they don't dare to give him the advantage of the ancestor, right?

Wu Ang's speed is not that slow.

Two days later, someone delivered the items.

There are six space talismans in total.

After handing the items to Ning Chen, Zhang Chi also handed over the banknote to the delivery person.

More than two hundred thousand taels is nothing to the Zhang family, which has been inherited for thousands of years and has a city's wealth.

Following the advice given by Fang Xiong, Ning Chen completed his assumptions about the Italian artillery.

He also began to explain the principles of the Italian cannon to Zhang Chi and others, as well as some issues on how to calculate the impact point of the Italian cannon.

It is much smoother to talk about these things with educated people.

Regardless of Zhang Chi, they are all theoretically considered liberal arts students.

But after all, wisdom lies here.

There are many things that Ning Chen only needs to say once for Zhang Chi and the others to understand.

The entire process and communication was extremely smooth.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Chi and the others had basically mastered some of the techniques for using Italian cannons.

The next step is to continue to polish their skills during actual combat.

And Ning Chen didn't wait too long for this opportunity for actual combat.

The demon army that had retreated before quickly returned.

They didn't know what happened to the Zhang family before, so for the sake of safety, they retreated tactically.

But retreating does not mean giving up.

Not to mention that they all came with orders and missions.

Let’s talk about the food problem. If we can’t get enough food this month.

Then in winter, the war will be even more fierce.

More people will die by then.

Not only did they die in battle, but they also died of starvation.

So we still have to fight.

Standing on the city wall, I saw the army of monsters gathering in the distance.

After confirming their position, the Confucian scholar of the Zhang family also began to adjust the angle according to Ning Chen's instructions.

After the angle was determined, the first round of shelling officially began.

A cannonball drew a beautiful arc in the air.

However, the angle of the cannonball was still slightly off, and it did not fall into the camp of the demon army, but landed more than a hundred meters away from the camp.

Being able to achieve such accuracy with the first shot is actually very good.

At this time, the advantages of Confucianism are revealed.

After a quick adjustment, the second shot directly hit the camp group of the demon army.

The shells exploded violently in the camp.
