Zhu Yuanzhang waited until he arrived at the high platform and sat firmly, then waved his hand to signal everyone to excuse themselves.
Then everyone stood up, and Zhu Yuanzhang turned and looked at Wei Wu with a smile.
"Uncle Changle, this time we have taken out the military camp as you requested. Don't let us down next time!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu raised his head high and responded loudly:
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will not disappoint you today. I will even give you a big surprise."
"Okay! Then show us the surprise you've prepared!"
"Yes!"
After responding casually, Wei Wu turned around and waved his hand violently.
The next second, thirty soldiers came to the center of the training ground and formed into three rows of ten.
At the same time, the soldier was holding a strange object in his hand, which looked like some kind of weapon.
Just when the audience was full of confusion, Wei Wu once again put the loudspeaker to his lips.
"I think everyone must be curious about what weapons these soldiers are holding and why they are so strange. Actually..."
Having said that, Wei Wu deliberately paused, whetting the appetite of all the audience.
Looking at the expectant expressions on their faces, Wei Wu spoke again after a long while:
"Actually, even if I tell you now, you won't understand. Why not wait until you see it with your own eyes, and then I'll explain it to you."
After saying this, Wei Wu made a move with one hand, and the soldiers in the camp immediately took action.
I saw a group of soldiers carrying ten wooden carved dolls and placing them fifty feet away from the armed soldiers.
After putting the dolls away, the soldiers quickly retreated to the edge of the training ground.
It was only at this time that people discovered that the doll was actually covered with a layer of cotton armor.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers, wealthy businessmen and some officials were all filled with questions.
Only the military generals and a small number of civil officials who had knowledge of the battlefield guessed that Wei Wu wanted to demonstrate his firearms.
However, because of this, the expressions on their faces became even more confused, and they couldn't understand what Wei Wu was going to do.
They all knew the power of firearms. The maximum distance was thirty feet. Beyond this distance, the lethality would be sharply reduced.
The key point is that no matter how skilled the soldiers are, accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and whether they can hit the person depends entirely on luck.
But these puppets in front of him were not only placed fifty feet away, but also covered with cotton armor.
Although Wei Wu did not say it explicitly, anyone with a brain could guess what he meant.
It was just a guess, but the people present did not think that Wei Wu could do such a horrifying thing.
Is it possible to hit a puppet from fifty feet away, penetrate the leather armor on the puppet, and cause damage to the puppet?
Cotton armor is not just made of cotton cloth, there is also a layer of iron inside the cotton cloth, which has very good defensive power.
Even within thirty feet, it is difficult for firearms to penetrate cotton armor, let alone fifty feet away.
At this moment, all the officials who knew something about firearms frowned.
Those officials who disliked Wei Wu or even had grudges against him, such as Li Shanchang, were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
At the same time, some officials who had other thoughts had even prepared their own excuses.
He just waited for Wei Wu to fail, and then immediately suggested to the emperor that Wei Wu be punished.
At this moment, Wei Wu's voice was heard from the training ground.
"Everyone, take your positions, aim, and prepare to fire!"
Upon hearing Wei Wu's order, the soldiers standing in three rows immediately took a step left and right in a staggered manner.
The original three-line queue immediately became a straight line, and then immediately raised the flintlock rifles.
He aimed at the puppet in cotton armor fifty feet away, and after a brief calibration, he decisively pulled the trigger.
bang bang bang...
Accompanied by thick smoke caused by burning gunpowder, a series of gunshots rang out in the parade ground.
