Everyone looked at the soldiers intently and calmly, waiting for the final result to be announced.

The difference is that most people hope that they can hit the target, like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

As they watched the soldiers take aim, both of them subconsciously gripped the armrests of their seats.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who hope that the soldiers will fail, such as the officials who spoke earlier.

There are also Li Shanchang and those people with ulterior motives.

The next second, under everyone's gaze, the first soldier decisively pulled the trigger.

boom!

After a gunshot, the soldier who fired the shot took his eyes away from the scope.

At the same time, a barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

People who were far away definitely couldn't see it, but Wei Wu, who was standing next to it, noticed it.

Not surprisingly, the soldier must have seen himself hit the target through the scope.

With the first shot, the soldiers behind naturally did not want to be left behind and pulled the triggers one after another.

In the following time, a soldier fired a shot every one to two seconds.

After about a minute, all the soldiers completed their shooting tasks.

Seventy percent of them had smiles on their faces, and only thirty percent had gloomy expressions, which was obviously off target.

In response, Wei Wu did not scold them, but patted them on the shoulders to express his encouragement.

In fact, as long as one bullet hits the target, it is enough to prove the shooting range of the rifled flintlock rifle.

Not to mention that now 70% of the soldiers have hit the target, which is enough to make those who question it smack in the face.

Interestingly, Wei Wu was able to see the expressions on the soldiers’ faces because he was so close.

But the spectators in the stands could not see it, they could only see the soldiers standing there with expressionless faces.

Wei Wu patted their shoulders, as if saying something encouraging.

This scene also gave rise to hope in the hearts of those civil servants.

Just as everyone was waiting, the soldiers in the barracks had already run towards the puppet.

Then not long after, the puppets were shipped back.

Because the puppet is not wearing cotton armor this time, the change in the puppet's appearance is very clear.

When the soldiers carried the puppets and walked past the audience, everyone's eyes were stunned.

In addition to the red marks drawn by Wei Wu, there were several bullet holes on each puppet.

Last time they could see the bullet itself, but this time, they could only see a black hole.

It proved that the bullet had penetrated the inside of the puppet, and it also proved that the rifled flintlock rifle was indeed lethal at a distance of two hundred feet.

As time passed, the soldiers carried the puppet around the parade ground.

Only after everyone had verified it did Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the stage, speak again.

"Come here, remove the official uniforms and hats from Li Ke, Zhao Jie, and Zhou Peisheng. From now on, they will be demoted to commoners."

"Also, get these three out of here. We don't want to see these embarrassing things anymore."

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the three men immediately wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy.

However, before they could take any action, they found a hand behind them covering their mouths.

In fact, as early as when they made a bet with Wei Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang had already ordered people to wait behind these people.

Others may not know what kind of person Wei Wu is, but Zhu Yuanzhang knows it very well.

This guy never fights a battle without confidence. Since he opens his mouth, he must be sure of winning.

So people were arranged to wait early to prevent these three officials from making a big fuss and annoying others if they lost.

Facts have proved that Lao Zhu's foresight has made his ears much clearer.

At this moment, the three civil servants had no way out and could only be dragged away from the training ground.

During this process, Wei Wu didn't even bother to look at them.

Only after the three men were completely taken away from the training ground did Wei Wu raise his loud speaker and continue speaking.

"Everyone, you've seen the power of the rifled flintlock rifle. It still has a powerful killing power at a distance of two hundred feet."

After Wei Wu

"This... Duke Zheng, right? You can rest assured. It has now been proven that what I said is not ridiculous!"

After being provoked by Wei Wu's words, Duke Chang Mao of Zheng looked extremely unhappy.

He even started thinking about how to teach Wei Wu a lesson after this matter was over.

He was just an earl who married a princess, yet he dared to speak to him, a duke, like that.

Unfortunately, Chang Mao didn’t know that Lan Yu had seen everything he had just done.

At this moment, Wei Wu didn't even need to go and talk to him, Lan Yu was already looking at Chang Mao with gritted teeth.

And I was still thinking about what would be more convenient to use.

Others may not know the importance of the Earl of Changle, but Lan Yu, a die-hard princeling, knows it better than anyone else.

To put it bluntly, if Crown Prince Zhu Biao were asked to choose between him and Wei Wu.

Then Lan Yu would have no choice but to cut his own neck with a knife, because there was no comparison.

He had to be very cautious in making friends with Wei Wu, so Chang Mao was nothing to him!

Indeed, Chang Mao's hereditary title of duke is much more noble than Lan Yu's marquisate.

But in terms of seniority, Lan Yu is his uncle. As the saying goes, the mother's uncle is the most important, and the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.

If Lan Yu wants to take action, Duke Chang Mao will have to accept the attack obediently, no matter who he asks.

Just as Lan Yu and Chang Mao were pondering, Wei Wu, who was standing in the middle of the training ground, spoke again.

"At a distance of two hundred feet, even if the cavalry charged at full speed, it would take at least one-tenth of a cup of tea to close in."

"At this distance, use a rifled flintlock rifle, coupled with the three-stage firing battle array I built specifically for this type of gun."

"Before the enemy cavalry gets close, our soldiers can easily fire thirteen volleys and kill the enemy at a distance."

"Next, I'll have the soldiers demonstrate what a three-stage firing array is!"

After saying that, Wei Wu waved his hand, and the thirty-meter soldiers immediately formed the original formation.

Ten soldiers squatted in the front row, and behind each soldier stood two soldiers with guns.

But they did not mount their guns, but placed the flintlocks in the most convenient position.

Afterwards, three cages were placed in an open area one hundred feet south of the training ground.

When the audience took a closer look, they found that the cage contained three ferocious wild boars.

After the cage door was opened, three wild boars ran out of the cage shaking their heads.

As soon as they came out, they immediately targeted the thirty soldiers armed with flintlock rifles.

The wild boar only let out a roar and then rushed towards this side madly.

At the same time, the soldiers also pulled the trigger!
