    ?

    Pingxi Palace, in the study.

    Du Qizheng is writing a book.

    The books he has written are some books on science and technology.  It mainly involves the configuration of gunpowder and the production of simple grenades and mines.

    This type of weapon can be easily produced under the current environment.  There is no doubt that the emergence of these weapons means that the way of warfare will change.

    Du Qi knew that it would trigger a series of chain reactions, but if Du Qi wanted to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, establish a country in the Western Regions, and even continue to expand westward, new weapons were undoubtedly needed.

    Of course, with the current level of craftsmanship and technology, only such simple weapons can be made, involving more sophisticated cannons, etc. The current level of iron smelting technology and steelmaking is not up to the standard.

    For the manufacture of these weapons, Du Qi only wrote out the production plan, but did not plan to start production for the time being.  Du Qi's plan is to wait until the west side of the sandbar is taken down before making it.

    Because these weapons must be private, and cannot even be leaked.

    Once leaked, the consequences would be disastrous.  But now Du Qi is said to be King Pingxi, but in fact he lacks his own strength.  These books can be written and used later.

    "Boom! Boom!"

    A knock on the door came from outside the study.

    Immediately after the door was pushed open, Liu Zhengxi entered.  With a slightly serious expression on his face, he said solemnly: "Your Highness, according to the report from the spies, a group of people are coming towards the Wangfu. Now it is less than half a quarter of an hour away from the Wangfu."

    Du Qi laughed and said, "I really caught a fish."

    After a pause, Du Qi asked: "Someone is coming in the direction of the palace, so can someone go in the direction of the county government?"

    "No!"

    Liu Zhengxi shook his head and answered.

    Du Qi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "According to this situation, it is very likely that these people will mainly attack our Pingxi Palace, while the other part of the force may be hidden in the dark to block possible reinforcements."

    Liu Zhengxi said: "That's what it means."

    Du Qi stood up and said: "Since the opponent is here, we are ready to meet the enemy."

    "Let's go!"

    Du Qi gave an order, and left the study together with Liu Zhengxi, and went to the front yard of the palace.  When the two arrived at the front yard, Moredo and the other hundred elite guards were all in place.

    Du Qi went straight to the wooden aisle inside the wall. Now, inside the wall of Pingxi Wangfu, wooden stakes were built one by one, and then wooden boards were built on the wooden stakes to form an aisle, so that he could stand on it and observe the situation outside  .

    Du Qi stood on it, watching the situation outside.  Now the streets are empty, no one is there.

    After a while, a rush of footsteps was heard.

    There are even more noisy discussions.

    Immediately, a group of people appeared, and the leader was Bakhtu.

    He came with more than three hundred elites.

    When Bahetu approached the gate of Pingxi Palace's residence, he suddenly saw Du Qi standing on the wall on the left side of the gate.

    He was startled.

    Pingxi Palace is prepared!

    Bakhtu's heart sank, and he felt that the attack on Pingxi Palace this time might not go smoothly.  But at this point, there is no turning back, so he can only bite the bullet and rush forward.

    With a smile on the corner of Du Qi's mouth, he said in a deep voice: "I have waited for you for such a long time, and I am waiting to kill you now. Isn't this speed a bit slow! Jiang Zhengdao's remnants are only yours.  The king is a little disappointed."

    When Bakhtu heard Du Qi's words, he frowned even more.

    Du Qi really discovered their whereabouts early on, and then waited for them to come.  Such a result really made Bakhtu feel a little heavy.

    Fortunately, Bakhtu is a confidant under Jiang Zhengdao's command, and he has some abilities.  He snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, even if you found out about our arrival, what can you do?"

    "Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi left Jiuquan County with a large army, and you have almost no troops in your hands."

    "With just a few guards in your palace, it is impossible to win. Du Qi, if you honestly open the door and come out to surrender, maybe I can consider and spare your life."

    Bakhtu appeared extremely strong.

    In any case, you can't be cowardly, you must show your momentum.

    "Hahaha¡­¡­"

    Du Qi laughed immediately when he heard the words, and he looked around at Bakhtu's head.The man said, "Do you really think that this king can't stop your attack without the strength of Xue Rengui and others. If you want to break the Pingxi palace with your strength alone, it's a fool's dream."

    After a pause, Du Qi said: "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

    Bakhtu said: "My name is"

    "Stop!"

    Du Qi stretched out his hand to stop it, and said quickly: "You don't have to say it, because you will definitely be a dead person next time. A dead person, there is no need to speak. When you die, I will directly burn your body."

    "Du Qi, you are courting death."

    When Bakhtu heard Du Qi's words, he became angry.

    Damn Du Qi!

    Damn Du Qi!

    Bakhtu originally wanted to say something, but now he didn't want to say a word, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Boys, today is our chance to avenge County Magistrate Jiang.  Today is our chance to win Jiuquan County and make our own decisions. Today is your chance to stand up and be the masters. Kill, kill, break into Pingxi Palace, and kill Du Qi."

    With an order, more than 300 people went straight to the gate of the palace.  Of course, there are also some people, surrounding the left and right sides of the gate, intending to browse through the walls of the palace.

    Du Qi saw that Bakhtu became angry with embarrassment, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

    He just hoped that the other party would lose his composure.

    Just want the opponent to mess up the lineup and kill directly.

    Du Qi waved his hand and ordered: "Crossbowman, release the arrow."

    With an order, the archers under Du Qi's command immediately stood up from the wall.  All of them stood on the wooden platform that had been built, and upon receiving Du Qi's order, they aimed their arrows at the crowd outside.

    Soldiers one by one, pull the trigger.

    "Whoa! Whoa!!!!"

    A crossbow arrow shot out and went straight to the soldiers under Bakhtu's command.

    The advantage of crossbow arrows is that they are fast.

    The lethality is stronger.

    Especially when the crossbow arrows were shot, they arrived in front of the private soldiers under Bakhtu's command in the blink of an eye, so that Bakhtu's people had no chance to evade, and there was the sound of puffing crossbow arrows entering the flesh in an instant.

    The screams sounded immediately.

    A person was shot in the body by an arrow and fell to the ground, howling.  Those who were directly shot to death would not suffer from the pain, but those who were injured could not help it.

    One by one gritted their teeth and screamed, and many even fell to the ground and rolled in pain.

    Very uncomfortable.

    A wave of crossbow arrows went down, taking the lives of more than 20 people and injuring many people under Bakhtu's command.

    The sound of crossbow arrows piercing through the air was still ringing.

    A crossbow arrow keeps shooting down, shooting and killing those who come to attack.

    This scene fell in Bakhtu's eyes, his hands were clenched into fists, his eyes were stern, and there was even more resentment.  He shouted: "Boys, Du Qi's troops are not many, and their combat power is not strong. They just shoot us with crossbow arrows, kill, kill us. Break the door and climb over the wall, and we are in sight of victory."

    Bahetu shouted loudly, and said again: "I promise you, as long as you kill Pingxi King. All of you can get money from Du's shop in Jiuquan County, and all of you can make money. Kill!"  "

    Encouraging words and rewards are Bakhtu's sharp weapons.

    He wants everyone to give their all.

    Under Bakhtu's heavy reward, the assembled private soldiers did go all out and kept rushing forward.  The charge of these people was very powerful, but unfortunately, the gate of Prince Pingxi's Mansion was locked and could not be broken for a while.  As for those who climbed over the wall, because there were soldiers inside the wall, those who came to climb over the wall were shot directly.

    In a short period of time, Bakhtu suffered a lot of casualties.

    Seeing this scene, Bakhtu ordered the soldiers to attack the gate by force and break directly into the gate.  Fortunately, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. A very strong man under Bakhtu's command stepped forward with a heavy hammer in his hand, and slammed the hammer hard on the gate.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
