"This..." Mu Xin looked at Yang Si with some embarrassment after hearing this.
"Master Yang, this is a bit difficult." Mu Xin murmured.
Mu Xin still had reservations. This was not only difficult, it was simply impossible.
Those pirates were in four large ships. Although it is not yet known how many people there are, judging from the situation, there are definitely more than the county soldiers in Jiangning County.
According to the situation in Daxia, the county soldiers in the general county town only have a strength of 1,000 people.
Except for some special counties, such as close to the border.
Jiangning County's county soldiers, including government officials and civilians, amounted to only more than 2,000 people.
The county military academy captain also looked at Yang Si doubtfully.
This imperial envoy, Mr. Yang, doesn't look like a fool. How could he say such a thing?
Moreover, I heard that he was from the Yang family in the Western Region, so he shouldn't be ignorant of military affairs.
At present, in this situation, it is obvious that Jiangning County will be good if they can hold the county seat.
Keeping all these pirates behind is simply a fantasy?
"It's not a big problem." Yang Si grinned: "This pirate dares to come in, so don't go back."
"Even if we defend the county seat, we can't keep them, although now they are moving upstream at a very slow speed."
"If they turned and went downstream, we wouldn't be able to catch up at that speed."
Mu Xin looked at the pirate ships and said,
"Hey~ So, the first thing we have to do is destroy these big ships."
Yang Si said calmly.
"But..." Mu Xin looked at Yang Si and opened his mouth, but the next words were not spoken, but the meaning was already obvious.
Yang Si had been forced back just now. Facing the terrifyingly powerful bed crossbow, it was impossible for them to rush past.
Moreover, even if they rush over, how can these people go over and deliver food to the pirates if they don't guard the flood wall?
Everyone was confused, how to destroy it?
Yang Si grinned slightly.
"fire!"
"How much kerosene is there in Jiangning County now?" Yang Si looked at Mu Xin.
"Yes, a little, but not much..." Mu Xin looked at Yang Si: "Sir, are you preparing for a fire attack?"
"That's right." Yang Si nodded: "Although their big ship has a strong structure, it is a wooden ship. I have seen that it is made of iron wood, which is very hard and has good fire protection effect."
"But wood is still wood. If you set it on fire like this, it will definitely have little effect, but if you pour kerosene on it, it will be different." Yang Si said.
In this era, there is kerosene, which is actually petroleum, although the degree of refining is definitely average.
But it still burns when exposed to fire!
"But how to pour it on?" Mu Xin asked doubtfully.
"Leave this to me and my wife." Yang Si grinned and looked at Chu Yi.
Chu Yi nodded slightly. She had long wanted to help Yang Si. She was not a flower vase.
Moreover, this is the South China Sea! She, Chu Yi, has no choice but to do so!
"This..." Mu Xin was still a little hesitant,
However, this time.
boom!
Chu Yi also fully exploded her momentum,
Everyone was stunned.
Eight realms? !
This Master Yang’s fiancée is also in the Eighth Realm? !
What the hell?
Yang Si, a young Bajing, is already perverted enough. How come Master Yang's fiancée is also a Bajing?
"Gudu~"
Everyone swallowed.
"Any more questions?" Chu Yi looked at Mu Xin and said.
"No...no more..." Mu Xin shook his head repeatedly.
"Then hurry up and concentrate the fire oil."
Yang Si opened his mouth and said.
"Yes!" Mu Xin immediately turned around and went to collect kerosene.
At the same time, Mu Xin was also a little excited while walking,
Eight realms! Two of you!
And according to what Mr. Yang just said, those pirates should not be strong in the Eighth Realm, otherwise there would be strong men who came out to intercept Yang Si just now.
Instead of relying on bed crossbows to force Master Yang back.
Stable!
Jiangning County can’t be lost!
At the same time, thinking of Yang Si's plan, Mu Xin felt a little excited.
Maybe, these four pirate ships entering the river might really be eaten by them.
Thinking of this, Mu's heart beat faster, his blood flowed faster, and he felt inexplicably excited.
This is definitely a great achievement. Although the first achievement must be Yang Si, this is Jiangning County, and he is the magistrate of Jiangning County.
As a result, Mu Xin's next movements were not very neat.
The kerosene contained in clay pots was quickly brought over one by one.
As preparations were being made here, the pirate ships on the other side were also approaching quickly.
"Replying to your lord, all the kerosene has been canned and moved."
A county soldier came to report.
"Very good." Yang Si looked back and saw that the fire oil cans were piled neatly together.
However, those pirate ships are still sailing now, and it is difficult to get rid of them for the time being.
Wait until those pirate ships stop.
If these pirates wanted to attack, they would definitely stop in the waters outside the shoal, then lower their boats and land from the shoal.
Otherwise, the other three sides are all tall walls, and anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose.
Whenever they stopped the ship, it was time to set fire.
Yang Si was now at the edge of the flood control wall, watching the pirate ships approaching.
Beside, Chu Yi's hand holding the sword tightened and then loosened.
Now, everything is ready, just wait for the pirates to approach.
However, at this time, a county soldier brought two people over, two government officials.
"grown ups!"
"Duanjiang County, someone is coming!"
"Huh?" Yang Si turned his head in confusion and looked at the two government officials behind the county soldiers.
"Liansheng, are you the government officials of Duanjiang County?" Mu Xin looked at the two government officials and asked,
"Yes, this is our county magistrate's badge."
One of the yamen servants took out a token and handed it to Mu Xin.
Mu Xin glanced at Yang Si and saw that Yang Si didn't make any movement, so he reached out and took it.
"It is indeed Magistrate Deng's token." Mu Xin confirmed.
The magistrate of Duanjiang County is named Deng, and the magistrates of several nearby counties naturally know each other.
"Duanjiang County, how is it now?" Yang Si looked at the two government officials.
The two government officials smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, these pirates did not stop in Duanjiang County, but when they passed through Duanjiang County, the people on both sides of the river suffered."
"The houses along both sides of the river were looted, and these pirates even set fire to it. Fortunately, it's right on the riverside, so it's easy to put out the fire." Another government official said.
"The county magistrate was so worried that he finally remembered that he wanted to inform Jiangning County."
"But now it seems we are all too late."
The pirates have arrived.
Mu Xin couldn't help but feel lucky that Yang Si was here, otherwise most of the county soldiers would probably still be outside helping to harvest grain.
"What about Jiangkou County? Do you know the situation in Jiangkou County?"
"Also, what about the Nanhai navy? Why do pirates enter the river?"
Yang Si looked at the two Duanjiang County government officials.
"Jiangkou County is okay. Jiangkou County is a long way from Dajiang. No one from Jiangkou County cares about them."
"They didn't pay any attention to Jiangkou County and just came all the way in." The official from Duanjiang County said.
"Someone from Jiangkou County came to notify the county magistrate, but...most of the people were outside grabbing food, and there was simply...no time." The Yamen servant said reluctantly.
