The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich-Chapter 2020 - : Finale
Chapter 2020: Finale
In Jiang Zhennan’s military camp, his subordinate reported to him,” Report! The troops of the Black Cloud Kingdom and the Aduo Chai Kingdom have split into three groups and surrounded our army!”
“Yes, I know. Go down!”
Guo Bing said,” Since they have split into three groups and are trying to outflank our army, we must give them a swift counterattack!”
The Crown Prince frowned and asked,” But if we were to fight directly, the enemy has more than 600,000 soldiers while we only have 400,000. The difference in strength is so great. Is there really no problem?”
Guo Bing smiled and replied,” Your Highness, don’t worry. Ever since I, Guo Bing, followed the Great General, I have never seen him lose a battle. Besides, what kind of war was the Great General good at? It was a battle where fewer people won. In this battle, although there was a difference of 200,000 soldiers between the two sides, the two generals on the other side were both idiots.
“We set fire to more than 70% of their rations. Even if the other party doesn’t start a war, they won’t be able to hold on for long with those rations. Even if we don’t take action or provoke them, they won’t be able to hold on for long and will definitely fight this big battle. It’s just that we’ve forced it to be brought forward.”
At this point, he consoled him and smiled.” Crown Prince, just you wait and see. I, Guo Bing, can make a military pledge that we will definitely win this battle!”
The Crown Prince smiled and said,” Forget about the military pledge. I still believe in you.”
Forcing a general who was fighting on the battlefield to make a military pledge was simply a loss of morale. This was a great taboo for those in power!
When Guo Bing heard the Crown Prince’s words, he just wanted the Crown Prince to feel more at ease.
He could tell that the Crown Prince had no confidence in this battle these days.
He was the one who had led an army of 100,000. If he did not trust the Great General who was commanding the battle, he would definitely have doubts about cooperating with the battle plan.
On the battlefield, once one had doubts about the battle plan, they would hesitate and delay the march. This was a big taboo in battle.
Therefore, on the battlefield, the most important thing was to listen to commands!
This was the logic behind military orders!
Even the Crown Prince, the future heir apparent, was the same. On the battlefield, he had to listen to the general’s commands.
Guo Bing nodded.” Yes, as long as the Crown Prince believes it!”
After Jiang Zhennan left for a while, he walked back into the tent and said to the Crown Prince,” Crown Prince, I estimate that the enemy will rush over in half a day. Now, please lead the 100,000-strong Tiger Head Army and hide in Mount Li. We will fight according to the previous plan!”
The Crown Prince nodded without any objections.” Alright!”
With that, he went out.
The soldiers outside the tent had already led his horse.
He mounted his horse and left for the Tiger Head Military Camp.
When he could not see the Crown Prince’s figure, Guo Bing asked in puzzlement,” Boss, a 100,000-strong Tiger Head Army can also help us in battle. Why did you…” transfer the Crown Prince away?
Jiang Zhennan glanced at him and said coldly, “Stop being so talkative!”
Lin Yuelan had taught him before that those in power were highly suspicious!
The Tiger Head Army was originally in the Emperor’s hands, and now that it had been handed over to the Crown Prince, this army would directly belong to the Crown Prince, the future heir apparent!
Since this army already belonged to the Crown Prince, it was obvious that the authority to mobilize and command was concentrated in the hands of the Crown Prince or the generals appointed by the Crown Prince.
However, ever since the Crown Prince had led the 100,000-strong Tiger Head Army over, the Crown Prince had not explicitly stated that Jiang Zhennan had the authority to mobilize or command this army. It was obvious that the Crown Prince did not want to hand over military authority, even temporarily.
It was obvious that the Crown Prince had no intention of losing this army.
Without the right to mobilize and command, this team was useless to Jiang Zhennan.
However, it was obvious that the Crown Prince wanted to rely on this army to achieve military achievements. Jiang Zhennan could only come up with another plan. He would not touch the military power of this army, but he would let the Crown Prince have military achievements so that he could explain to the Emperor or the soldiers.
In fact, Guo Bing had thought about it a little deeper and definitely knew what the Crown Prince was thinking.
Guo Bing was still a little worried.” Boss, is the Tendon Softening Powder in the river really effective?”
They cut off the water source and dug out a large area to store the water.
When Jiang Zhennan saw Guo Bing’s expression, he snorted coldly and said,” Hmph, would the medicine given by Yue ‘er be useless?”
Guo Bing shook his head without any doubt.” Of course not! However, I feel that with such a large area of water and only using so little medicine, won’t the medicinal effects be greatly reduced?”
He wasn’t suspicious of the medicine, but the dosage.
They only used less than half a small porcelain bottle for a large lake.
Jiang Zhennan glanced at him again and looked at Guo Bing with disdain. Then, he said proudly,” Hmph, let’s see the result!” He was too lazy to explain to this idiot.
Guo Bing nodded.” Alright!”
Half a day later, Jiang Zhennan, wearing silver armour and a silver mask, led an army of 300,000 and waited at the border between the Longyan Kingdom and the Black Clouds Kingdom.
Riding on Liefeng’s back, he held a telescope in his hand and looked into the distance. The corners of his mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.
Very good!
As expected, they couldn’t hold back and took the initiative to attack!
Guo Bing, who was beside Jiang Zhennan, looked at the binoculars in Jiang Zhennan’s hands. He was curious and itching. He said anxiously,” Boss, let me see. Let me see. I also want to see where they are.”
After saying that, he anxiously tried to snatch it.
The few deputy generals beside him were extremely curious about the army green cylinder in the general’s hand.
This was because they had never seen such a thing before. However, this thing happened to be in the hands of the great general. Moreover, from time to time, it covered his eyes, and the general made a posture of looking forward.
Even the military counsellor often snatched it from the general’s hands. Unfortunately, unless the general was willing, with the military counsellor’s martial strength, it was impossible to snatch things from the general.
General Liu scratched his head and looked at Guo Bing curiously.” Military Advisor, what is that thing in the Great General’s hand? Why did the Great General have to look at it from time to time? Can you see ahead with it covering your eyes?”
Hearing General Liu’s question, Guo Bing gave him a disdainful look and said,” Hmph, you don’t even know about this! Are you still the Great General’s subordinates?”
General Liu was not angry at all. Instead, he scratched his head again and smiled foolishly.” We didn’t know, did we? Military Advisor, just tell us!”
Guo Bing said,” Alright. I’ll tell you to satisfy your curiosity.” At this point, he kept them in suspense.” Do you know what this thing is used for?”
The people around shook their heads, indicating that they didn’t know.
Guo Bing smiled and said,” This thing is a treasure. It’s called a telescope. It can be used to look at things that are far away.”
“Oh, this thing is called a telescope.” General Liu and the others expressed their understanding.
“But do you know how far this thing can see?” Guo Bing was proud and excited. He raised three fingers.
“Three thousand feet?” General Liu said.
When Guo Bing heard this number, he immediately said unhappily,” Are you stupid? Do I need to use this thing if it’s just three thousand feet?”
“Could it be three miles?” General Liu asked doubtfully.
“General Liu, can’t you see things from three miles away with just your naked eyes?” Guo Bing’s face darkened.
General Liu was puzzled.” How much is it? Could it be 30 miles? But can you see so far?”
Guo Bing said unhappily,” You’re right. It was 30 miles! If you put this thing in your eyes, you can see things clearly from 30 miles away or even 40 miles away!”
“Really?”
Guo Bing’s words shocked everyone.
It was unbelievable!
“This is unbelievable! Is this true?” They were still suspicious.
Guo Bing didn’t want to explain anything to these idiots. He looked at Jiang Zhennan.” Boss, let me see!”
This time, Jiang Zhennan directly gave it to Guo Bing.
Guo Bing looked at them and said loudly,” Aren’t they walking too slowly? Why are they only there?”
“Where? Military Advisor, let me take a look.” General Liu’s curiosity was piqued.
He really wanted to see if this thing could really see so far.
Guo Bing rolled his eyes and snorted.” Hmph, give it to you? Do you know how to use it? You have to know that this thing is very precious. You’re so clumsy. What if you break it?”
When they heard that it might be broken, these subordinates were immediately stunned.
They were really clumsy. If they really dropped these things, they wouldn’t be able to afford it.
Moreover, if this thing was really, as the military counsellor said, it could see far away. It would be very useful for military battles.
For example, they already knew where the enemy was before they even got close.
None of his subordinates made a fuss anymore. They just watched Guo Bing with envy as he kept looking through the binoculars. Then, they heard him say from time to time,” Ah, they are there now!”
After an unknown period of time, Jiang Zhennan placed his hand in front of Guo Bing and said coldly,” Hand it over!”
Guo Bing reluctantly handed the binoculars to Jiang Zhennan.
After Jiang Zhennan looked through the binoculars, he ordered sternly,” Get the first wave of soldiers ready!”
As soon as he gave the order, someone immediately relayed the order.
Then, not long after, the Jiang Army heard the sound of neat and large footsteps and horse stance.
After another fifteen minutes, the Jiang Army saw the enemy.
“Jiang Zhennan, today is the day you die!”
“Open the river immediately!”
One was the enemy’s voice, and the other was Jiang Zhennan’s order!
