The strongest engineering student in ancient times

The prefect is dead? !

When Qi Yibai and Wei Qing heard the news, they thought it was too impermanent.

They are still thinking about how to deal with the prefect later, but the prefect is already dead?

Qi Yibai hurriedly asked:

"What happened to the prefect? ​​Could it be that Xita has already broken through the city gate of Shuixi County?"

If so, how many people should be displaced...

Old man Niu was not particularly clear, but said:

"I heard that the prefect originally wanted to go up the city wall to boost morale, but who knew he was shot to death by random arrows. He also said that he was shot to death by a sharpshooter in Xitali. The opponent was very powerful, and Shuixi County had already been breached. Well, it is said that in less than half a month, there may be Xita coming to Shuixi County, Brother Bai, we can't stay here any longer, let's run quickly!"

Shuixi County was breached, and the surrounding counties were also doomed. There must be Xita going to capture or kill all the people in the county in batches to rob resources.

Although Shuixi County is some distance away from Shuixi County, half a month should be enough for them to arrive, but they don't know how many people Xita will send to attack Shuixi County.

Qi Yibai, Wei Qing and Chang Yunqing were sitting in the hall, and their faces were not very good-looking.

They didn't expect Xita to call when they said they would. Now that there are wars everywhere, it is not known whether the imperial court will send troops here. It is too difficult to keep Shuixi County.

Chang Yunqing thought for a while and said:

"Brother, shall we go back to the Northern Territory? At least no one in the Northern Territory dares to call easily."

Song Jiangyuan heard the words, but directly refused:

"Are you kidding? Big brother went back, didn't he throw himself into the trap!"

Qi Yibai didn't know what they were talking about, so he could only guess that Wei Qing didn't seem to be from Yannan, but from the Northern Territory?

Wei Qing looked at the crowd in front of him and said coldly:

"Go to Shuixi County first and find out how many troops there are in Xita."

Both Chang Yunqing and Song Jiangyuan were surprised:

"Brother, do you mean to fight them?!"

To their Northern Territory Kingdom, Xita is not to be taken seriously, but to Yannan Kingdom, it is a strong enemy.

They are not strong enough now, but fortunately their weapons are good, and it is not impossible to defeat Xita.

Qi Yibai could indeed walk, but when it came time to make a decision, he couldn't bear to leave other people behind, like Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, the village head, and Aunt Liu, could they withstand the long journey.

Qi Yibai thought it was good to stay here, and he didn't want to leave unless it was absolutely necessary.

After discussing with Wei Qing, Qi Yibai planned to go to the county to find magistrate Xiao.

Before going, Qi Yibai asked Chang Yunqing to release Wu Qiuhua, and asked Chang Yunqing to tell Wu Qiuhua that Taishou Wu was dead, and see what he would do.

As for Shi Lijun, even if they didn't get along for long, Qi Yibai could guess that Shi Lijun would definitely rush back.

He went directly to Shi Lijun. Sure enough, when Shi Lijun learned that Shuixi County had been easily breached by Xita, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately expressed that he would lead his troops back.

Shuixi County has an army of [-], but it is too unacceptable for Shuixi County to say that it will be breached as soon as it is breached.

When the soldiers first heard the news that Shuixi County had been breached, they thought Chang Yunqing and the others were joking, but the appearance of Shi Lijun made them realize that Xita was really coming.

They originally agreed to plant all the trees tomorrow, and take two days off to plant the land, but now it seems that they can only part ways.

In the war-torn world, this parting, they may never see each other again, and they feel a little sad in their hearts.

Qi Yibai said to Shi Lijun:

"If you are lucky enough to survive, I welcome you here."

Before Shi Lijun and the others left, Qi Yibai said to them.

Shi Lijun and other soldiers already knew that Qi Yibai was not a bandit at all.After getting to know him as a person, I admire him even more. As a twin, he can't even compare to a man in what he does.

After they bid farewell to Qi Yibai, they immediately left Xibei Village.

However, Wu Qiuhua kept saying that he didn't believe that his father would die. As soon as he arrived in the town, he hurriedly went to Qiu Yuanwai and the others and asked them to call a carriage to take him back to Shuixi County.

Shi Lijun didn't have time to pay attention to Wu Qiuhua, so he left Wu Qiuhua in Xishui Town, and he led his men to continue to Shuixi County.

However, on the way, they ran into Qi Yibai and others who were riding a tricycle to Shuixi County.

Qi Yibai and the others were also very surprised to meet Shi Lijun and the others. It took them a day to go to Shuixi County, but they didn't expect to meet again.

Everyone saw Qi Yibai's tricycle and heard from Chang Yunqing that they only set off in the morning, and in less than an hour, they were almost at Shuixi County, but so many of them had been driving for a whole day, and they were still there. I haven't been to Shuixi County.

They looked enviously at Qi Yibai and the others sitting on the tricycle, dangling and leaving them behind, and there was silence in their hearts.

However, Shi Lijun urged them to leave immediately, and they had no time to delay. It would take at least half a month to return to Shuixi County.

After Qi Yibai and the others came to the county, they felt that many people carried their burdens in twos and threes, and left on carts, as if they were fleeing.

I didn't feel it in Xishui Town, but when I came to the county, I could feel the desolate sense of helplessness. The people who suffered the most were the people who suffered the most.

Even in the county town, many shops were closed, and the people were in a hurry, as if they had already confirmed the news that Xita had really broken through Shuixi County.

After Qi Yibai, Chang Yunqing and the others arrived at the county government office, the county magistrate Xiao had a sad face, but it was unexpected that Qi Yibai and the others came.

When Qi Yibai asked about Xita, County Magistrate Xiao sighed:

"This news is true. I asked people to post the notice yesterday, so that all the people who can leave will leave. Shuixi County has been breached. It is almost impossible to keep Shuixi County. You should clean it up quickly. Wait for the water to leave. If Xixian County is breached, those Xita will go to every village to kill people."

Once the county seat was breached, it would be too easy for the soldiers to kill people in the town or village.

County magistrate Xiao asked his family to leave, but Xiao Yunuan's three brothers and sisters were stubborn and refused to leave, saying they would stay and fight against Xita with him.

As an official of the imperial court, he cannot escape at such a time. If the city gate is breached, County Magistrate Xiao can only die.

He can't let his family die with him, and now he just wants to let his family leave first.

However, when Qi Yibai asked the next sentence, Magistrate Xiao was stunned.

Qi Yibai asked County Magistrate Xiao:

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Xita this time? How can we defend Shuixi County?"

Keep Shuixi County?

It's almost impossible!

If Qi Yibai and Wei Qing hadn't looked serious, he would have felt that the other party was making fun of him.

Seeing their expressions, County Magistrate Xiao tentatively said:

"You don't want to leave?"

Qi Yibai nodded and said:

"Yes, we came here this time to learn about the strength of Xita and the plan to resist Xita. Didn't magistrate Xiao buy a lot of bows and crossbows from me before? If there are not enough weapons, we can Yes, I can provide it for free. And I also have a new powerful weapon, if necessary, I can also provide it."

County magistrate Xiao was extremely shocked when he heard this, Qi Yibai and the others didn't want to leave at this time, but they wanted to stay and defend against Xita...

County Magistrate Xiao said:

"Xida has [-] soldiers and horses this time. We analyze the five counties under the rule of Shuixi County. In addition to leaving [-] soldiers and horses to guard Shuixi County, Xida should send about [-] soldiers and horses to attack each county. .And our Shuixi County only has [-] soldiers..."

Chang Yunqing and Song Jiangyuan all twitched their mouths, Xida only had [-] soldiers, so they beat Shuixi County's [-] soldiers?

How vulnerable are the soldiers in the hands of the prefect? !At the beginning, [-] of their brothers could beat Xita's [-] army to pieces!

Even Qi Yibai felt a little embarrassed, Xida had only [-] people, and they broke up Shuixi County.

But this is the end of the matter, Qi Yibai asked Wei Qing:

"Four thousand soldiers, do we have enough weapons? I think there should still be a possibility of victory."

After all, they have so many powerful weapons, including guns and crossbows. If not, he will spend more system coins to exchange for a few grenades...

and many more!

Grenades! ! ! !

Qi Yibai's eyes lit up suddenly, how could he have forgotten that the original grenade was simple and easy to make, but the effect was astonishing, and it would definitely catch Xita by surprise!

Qi Yibai hurriedly asked:

"Magistrate Xiao, how long will it take for the Xidas to attack Shuixi County?"

"Two days ago, the Xida people were wantonly plundering the people's money in the county. With this speed, they should send people to attack Shuixi County within half a month."

When County Magistrate Xiao thought about the dire situation the people in the county would be living in, he didn't dare to think about it. He was afraid that the people in the county would suffer the same pain that day.

Qi Yibai thought to himself that this should be in time!

He discussed with Magistrate Xiao the issue of weapons and grain and grass, and said that he bought them from other towns, so he simply asked Fei Yangchen and the others to drive a tricycle to help transport grain.

This was the first time County Magistrate Xiao and the others saw a tricycle. When they saw that the tricycle could transport ten shi's of grain each time, and it could go back and forth twice a day, this speed was much faster than he had imagined.

What's more important is that after Qi Yibai and the others went back, they sent people to carry five hundred bows and crossbows to the county that day. This speed first solved the big problem of insufficient weapons and food.

Chang Yunqing was in charge of the delivery, but accidentally ran into Shi Lijun and his group on patrol in the city.

Only after learning the reason did they know that because the county had closed the city gate, they couldn't go to the county at all.

Moreover, County Magistrate Xiao also told Shi Lijun not to go to the county, and now they are going to die.Can a thousand soldiers fight against the [-] Xita army!

Shi Lijun originally wanted to insist on going, but County Magistrate Xiao asked him if he would join him in defending against the Xida Army in Shuixi County.

Shi Lijun didn't want all these brothers to die. Although they missed their families, they would all die in this situation. However, County Magistrate Xiao analyzed that when the Xidas came, they could be defeated one by one, not to mention Qi Yi. After listening to Qi Yibai and Wei Qing's analysis of the weapons provided by Bai, County Magistrate Xiao felt confident.

Chang Yunqing also thought it would be better this way, and he told Qi Yibai and Wei Qing about being able to fight Xida together.

With Shi Lijun's thousands of soldiers, the entire Shuixi County has [-] troops, and if he wants to fight the [-] Xida Army, he has a better chance of winning.

In addition, Qi Yibai thought of wooden crossbows. Wooden crossbows are easy to make, as long as the crossbows and iron pieces are needed, and he intends to install them with a system to ensure safety and practicality. The most important thing is that as long as he designs a booster, he can Let the crossbow have a range of more than [-] meters!
