Zhu Youxiao would never use cannons, that would be a pure waste.
It would be inappropriate to hold a martial arts exercise on such a large scale without some bloodshed, so this drill was held. To put it bluntly, it is to execute people by shooting.
These more than a thousand Jurchens looked at the billowing smoke and the well-equipped Ming army in front of them, with some confusion and even fear in their eyes. They shrank back and refused to move forward.
If this kind of thing happened in later generations, it would be a very cruel thing and would easily scare the people present.
The situation in Ming Dynasty was different now. The people here had been through many battles and even did a lot of things for the war. They might not have killed the enemy themselves, but they had transported supplies to the army and carried corpses. They had done all these things.
They had seen more brutal battlefields before, so killing people was no big deal in the eyes of these civilians, especially when the victims were their enemies, which made them even more excited.
All of a sudden, cheers broke out for no apparent reason.
What no one expected was that someone actually distributed swords, guns, and armor to these more than a thousand people. It was obvious that they were all Jurchen swords, guns, and armor.
However, this surprised the Mongols a little. You know, the Jurchens were better equipped than them, and they could make their own armor and swords; and the Mongols were the real grassland people, not the same as the Jurchens.
No one knows what the Ming Dynasty is going to do. There are more than a thousand Jurchens. After giving them swords, guns and armor, who knows what they are going to do?
Is there any danger here?
Many people are on pins and needles.
Those Jurchens refused to accept weapons and armor at first, but they could not resist any longer. After receiving swords, guns and armor, the expressions on their faces gradually changed from numb to ferocious.
Obviously, they have realized the situation in front of them. The Ming Dynasty wants to use the blood of these people to perform martial arts, to show the bravery of the Ming Dynasty and to intimidate others.
How could that possibly satisfy the Ming Dynasty?
When people face death, they easily become frantic. Knowing they can't survive, they'll try to find someone to take their own life with them. Even if they can't find someone to take their own life with them, they'll still desperately want to survive.
These desperate Jurchens quickly put on armor, picked up swords and guns, and even began to look for directions to break out.
But soon, these crazy Jurchens found that they couldn't move forward. However, they also noticed a high platform in one direction.
There was a person standing on the high platform. Although no one knew who it was, it was very likely a powerful official from the Ming Dynasty. If these people rushed in that direction, they might actually have a chance to survive.
“Kill!”
No one knew who shouted, but these Jurchens quickly gathered together and ran towards the platform.
They were very fast and ran for their lives.
At this moment, a series of clattering sounds suddenly occurred in the Ming Dynasty army.
Others may not know, but those who understand know that this is pulling the bolt.
A "thump thump thump" sound was heard.
In an instant, tongues of fire spurted out of the muzzle, and bullets rained down on the Jurchens.
There were thirty hand-cranked miniature machine guns ambushed here. Under such circumstances, these guns fully demonstrated their power, and the bullets flew over like the wind and the moon.
Everyone saw that the Jurchens who were rushing in the front fell down in an instant like wheat being cut, with blood splattered all over their bodies.
The armor that they had thought could provide defense was completely useless in the face of these guns. The bullets penetrated the armor directly, killing them to the core and causing them to fall headfirst to the ground.
And next to them, the Ming Dynasty soldiers also began to pull the bolts, and then there was a "bang bang bang" sound.
Although each bullet could only kill one enemy at a time, due to their large numbers and accurate shooting, more than a thousand people were killed after only three rounds.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people feel chilling.
Wu Keshan sat there, feeling unwell.
Although he had been to the battlefield and seen people being killed, let alone more than a thousand people, he had also seen battlefields where more people were killed, and some of them were even his own people.
But Wu Keshan had never seen such a simple massacre. Yes, it was different from the previous wars. That was war, this was a massacre.
Wu Keshan felt a chill when he thought about what would happen if his men faced such guns and artillery.
He finally understood why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty insisted on doing this. This was not just to scare people, it was to scare people to death!
All Mongolians were the same, many of them were pale and trembling like sieves.
Zhu Youxiao put down the telescope in his hand.
He didn't see the murder just now. To be honest, although he knew it was necessary, he still couldn't bear it. After all, he was different from people of this era.
You know, people in this era didn't care. It was just a matter of killing more than a thousand prisoners of war. On the battlefield, more people were killed, and more prisoners of war were killed, but no one cared at all.
Under such circumstances, these people seemed to be accustomed to such scenes. Some of them were still talking and seemed very interested.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't adapt, so he didn't look and looked directly at the Mongols and Koreans.
Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with the performance of these people.
Although they didn't really scare anyone to death, you could tell from their expressions that they were really scared this time.
This is easy, many things can be discussed. As long as I talk to them now, they will definitely agree, there is nothing to say.
