The use of canon was known to everyone
Even Constantinoupoli had smaller cannons
One of it made a minor damage to that Turkish Big Bertha

My point is if they did not have the canon the city might of been able to hold off longer and maybe in time for more troops to arrive. If that would of happen Im sure things would of been a lot different. |

Maybe the things are better with the collapse of the Byzantium....
