Military supplies are randomized. Jiang Qinyu spent a lot of points in order to draw powerful firearms, and now her warehouse is full of military supplies.
The warehouse was almost overflowing with items like tents, entrenching tools, swords, and armor.
Putting everything else aside, Jiang Qinyu had read the description of this armor, which said it was impervious to swords and spears.
Of course, this gun doesn't use bullets from firearms, but rather the long guns of this world.
There were exactly one thousand pieces of armor, no more and no less.
If Lu Yanzheng could arm a vanguard of a thousand men, wearing such armor and wielding the firearms he had created, they wouldn't need to hide in the city; they could directly confront the enemy.
Jiang Qinyu had also inquired about the enemy's explosives over the past few days and learned that they were not very good; not only were they unstable, but their explosives were also not as powerful as theirs.
The instability of the enemy's explosives is that soldiers carrying explosives might blow themselves up and the soldiers around them while walking.
The last time they blew up the city gate, it was purely because the enemy soldiers sacrificed their lives to do so.
But this time Lu Yanzheng also dealt them a fatal blow; the power of the rocket launcher meant that no one dared to come and die for the time being.
Moreover, it is said that Wang Bo is dead, so it is basically impossible for the enemy to produce more powerful gunpowder. Unless they invest a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources in research, they will definitely not be able to surpass the firearms produced by the Border Army Ordnance Bureau in a short period of time.
"A vanguard of a thousand men?" Lu Yanzheng pondered, and it didn't seem impossible.
The enemy originally outnumbered them by tens of thousands, but after these two major battles, they suffered considerable losses, roughly estimated at thirty to forty thousand.
The border troops suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle and now only have 70,000 to 80,000 men left, which is roughly the same number as the enemy.
However, they are the defenders, which gives them an advantage over the attackers. If things are arranged properly, they are not afraid of the attackers coming again.
Jiang Qinyu wasn't a professional, and seeing that Lu Yanzheng was thinking, she quickly said, "I don't understand these things either, you can handle it! I can leave the things in the previous warehouse for you, but you have to take me there."
It's good to take shelter under a big tree; with Lu Yanzheng blocking her way, she wasn't afraid of exposing anything.
“Alright,” Lu Yanzheng came back to his senses, nodded, and then said, “The Seventh Prince went to the Armory today.”
Jiang Qinyu was taken aback. "What is he going there for?"
Oh no, I hope no one tells him she drew the blueprints.
"He said he wanted to see how the Ordnance Bureau could manufacture such powerful weapons," Lu Yanzheng said quickly when he saw that she was a little nervous. "Don't worry, I told him that I had them made by others, and some of them were made by reclusive masters who didn't want to be disturbed."
"He believed it?" Jiang Qinyu's eyes lit up.
Why didn't she think of that? A reclusive master could solve most of the problems!
Lu Yanzheng thought for a moment and said, "At least it seems like he believes it, but whether he believes it or not, this is the only answer we'll give him."
He did not fully trust the Seventh Prince.
"I didn't realize you were capable of cheating." Jiang Qinyu looked at him with considerable surprise.
Lu Yanzheng chuckled and teased her, "Would it work if I acted like a spoiled child here?"
"..." Jiang Qinyu was speechless. How did the topic turn to this?
It is clear that Lu Yanzheng is not as gentle and indifferent as he appears on the surface; he also has a mischievous side.
At this moment, Lu Yanzheng suddenly chuckled, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. It's still early. Do you want to go straight back to the manor, or go wander around somewhere else?"
“It’s not like you can come with me,” Jiang Qinyu blurted out quickly, then immediately added, “I want to go see how the sweet potato field is doing.”
It's been almost two months of high temperatures, I wonder if Qi Wu and the others know to water the sweet potatoes more often.
Lu Yanzheng nodded, "Then let's go. I don't have anything to do here, so I can go with you to take a look."
Jiang Qinyu: "..." There's really no need for that.
However, if he wants to stay with me, there's nothing wrong with that.
Lu Yanzheng is now the spiritual leader of the border town. Only when more people see that he is safe and sound can the hearts of the people in the whole town be at ease.
Uncle Chen drove Lu Yanzheng and Jiang Qinyu to the riverbank.
Lu Yanzheng's arm was injured, making it inconvenient for him to ride a horse, so he sat in the carriage with Jiang Qinyu.
“Don’t worry,” Lu Yanzheng reassured her when he saw her deep in thought. “Qi Wu reported earlier that the sweet potatoes are growing well, and they seem to be growing even better than expected.”
Jiang Qinyu looked up at him and said, "If the temperature rises and water is replenished in time, the sweet potatoes may ripen earlier."
"Really?" Lu Yanzheng couldn't sit still any longer. "It can even ripen earlier?"
Jiang Qinyu nodded and said, "Of course, but naturally grown ones are still better."
Just like in modern times, various chemical fertilizers can shorten the cycle of raising livestock, let alone planting.
As long as the conditions are right, nothing is impossible.
As they spoke, they arrived at the riverbank.
Despite the scorching sun, many farmers were busy watering the sweet potatoes in their fields. Qi Wu was among them, working and directing the work.
"Those in the south, you've overwatered. Quickly dig a small ditch to divert the water!"
"The water in the west won't work, there's too little. Quickly get some more over there..."
Jiang Qinyu was very suspicious of how he could tell how much water someone had.
Qi Wu straightened up and pounded his back twice, then he saw Jiang Qinyu and Lu Yanzheng.
His eyes lit up, his back pain vanished, and he ran over quickly. "Madam, General, what brings you here? Did you come to check if the sweet potatoes have been harvested yet?"
Jiang Qinyu had just taken a quick look and confirmed that the sweet potatoes in this field were indeed ready to be harvested.
She nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The plots of land near the river are ready to be harvested. Let's wait a couple more days for the ones further in."
"Can we really accept it now?" Qi Wu was still in a daze.
Jiang Qinyu smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Qi Wu immediately took off his straw hat and excitedly shouted to the people behind him who were still working hard to water the sweet potatoes, "Fellow villagers, our sweet potatoes are ready to be harvested!"
Cheers immediately erupted from the fields. Seeing this, Lu Yanzheng began to think about who he should send to help.
This is the confidence and hope of the border town; we must not afford any mishaps.
"Qinqin, thank you." Lu Yanzheng suddenly grasped Jiang Qinyu's hand and thanked her solemnly.
Jiang Qinyu blinked. "Thank me for what? Isn't this all thanks to Qi Wu and the others?"
"Water." Lu Yanzheng said only one word before letting go of her hand.
Jiang Qinyu immediately understood; it seemed Lu Yanzheng had already guessed it.
Indeed, without the water she brought, let alone growing crops, it would be questionable whether these people could even survive.
She accepted the thank you; she deserved it.
Meanwhile, after reading the scout's letter, the Fifth Prince of Western Qiang stared at the enemy for a long time, his expression shifting between light and shadow, before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "It really is her!"
