The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1998: Finale
Wei Jinshan did not quite understand. He repeated doubtfully,” Dig another canal?”

Alianna said,” That’s right. Open the canal again. General Wei, have you noticed that the sand can filter the wine and kerosene? We’ll open a path from here and then dig a canal under the river bank to let the water flow out from the sand. Won’t we get water then?”

Hearing Alianna’s explanation, Wei Jinshan immediately understood.

He turned around and shouted at his subordinates,” What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and open the canal!”

With Wei Jinshan’s roar, the soldiers immediately went to find tools and then began to move.

After all, there was strength in numbers. Soon, a channel was opened up. Similarly, water was also drawn from the burning river.

Upon seeing the water, Wei Jinshan and the other deputy commanders immediately commanded,” Quick, quick, take the water and put out the fire!”

With water and a large number of people, the food on fire was quickly extinguished.

But even so, they still lost 70% of their rations!

“Bastard!” When Wei Jinshan heard this answer, he was furious.

Losing two-thirds of their rations, what did this mean?

It meant that he could only eat for one month instead of three months.

Food was always the most important in a war.

Without rations, it was equivalent to not dying in battle but starving to death.

This time, they had only prepared provisions for two months.

Now that he had lost two-thirds of the ration, they could only maintain it for twenty days.

This could only keep them from fighting.

Otherwise, they would wait for the next batch of rations to arrive.

However, the next batch of rations would arrive two months later.

If they were to transport it over now, not to mention the time wasted on the road, just how would they be able to gather enough rations for these hundreds of thousands of troops in such a short period of time?

Alianna was in a bad mood as well. His face was dark as he questioned sternly,” How did the rations catch fire? Who is in charge of the provisions?”

The first battle had not even started, and they had already lost. This was already infuriating and depressing.

However, not long after this incident, a serious incident like burning the rations appeared.

Wei Jinshan also asked angrily,” Who is in charge of patrolling the rations tonight? Get the hell out here!”

Two soldiers walked in trembling.” Great General! It was… It’s us!”

Wei Jinshan kicked each of them in the chest. The two of them immediately rolled and fell to the ground.

Wei Jinshan’s eyes were spewing fire as he said,” You’re the ones in charge of patrolling the rations! Didn’t you notice that the rations were burned?”

“Great General, we don’t know how this fire started either.” The two soldiers kowtowed and explained the situation.” When we were patrolling, everything was normal. Nothing suspicious happened. Great General, please investigate!”

“Investigate?” Wei Jinshan gave them two more kicks, causing them to roll on the ground.

“Great General, is it possible that the Jiang Army came to ambush and set the fire?” General Liu voiced his suspicions.” After all, this can’t be such a coincidence. Our rations caught fire, and the water in the river caught fire as well.”

“General Liu is right. Besides, the fire in the river was caused by someone pouring a large amount of wine and kerosene into the river. And these two things that could burn flowed down from upstream. Thirty miles upstream is where the Jiang Army has set up camp.”

“What Deputy General Zhou said makes sense!” Alianna analyzed in agreement,” I’m afraid that the enemy sent people to set the fire. And in order to completely destroy these provisions, they did not hesitate to consume a large amount of wine and kerosene.”

“Jiang Zhennan!” Wei Jinshan slammed his fist on the table angrily.

..

“Tsk tsk, what a pity!” Ten miles away, on a hill, Guo Bing looked at the enemy camp with his binoculars and said regretfully,” What a pity. Just a little bit more, and we would have burned all their rations! However, are there any smart people in their camp?”

He actually thought of using sand to filter and reopen the canal to get water.

The binoculars in Guo Bing’s hands were given to Jiang Zhennan by Lin Yuelan.

Lin Yuelan knew very well that in modern history, the telescope was a very important tool in war.

This was because it could observe very far away places, making it easy to understand the geographical situation.

Therefore, Lin Yuelan gave the binoculars to Jiang Zhennan when they parted ways.
