Female-to-male: I live on farming

The food and medicine brought by the princess solved their urgent needs, especially after their limited food was burned in a surprise attack by the enemy tonight.

Even though it was late at night, no one could fall asleep.

The princess naturally took over the command of the battlefield in the north. Qin Zheng could only stand below her now, and no one in the entire tent dared to say "no".

Even the generals of the Zhenbei Army just raised their heads and silently glanced at their commander Qin Zheng, then stood obediently at the lower position.

Even though the generals, who were excited because they had just escaped death and were rescued, had a long reaction time, they now realized that the princess was openly going to merge with the Zhenbei Army. However, they were now at a disadvantage, and they could not say anything even if they didn't want to.

Don’t you see that their soldiers now rely on the eldest princess for food and warm clothing?

What's more, there are many old men in the Zhenbei Army who served during the time of Marquis Xiao. They were loyal to him in the past, and now that their old master has appeared, they are naturally filled with tears.

Jinyang didn't have the mind to guess their thoughts at the moment. Even if he knew, he didn't care. If they were unwilling and disobedient, he would just beat them.

Moreover, if she rashly exposed the matter now, they would be forced to submit to her under threat, which would be disloyal. Why not wait until she had dealt with the current matter, and then they would naturally know what to choose?

At this moment, she lowered her head and looked at the map of the northern border that Qin Zheng had drawn earlier, staring at the camp where the Qin army was marked on it.

Jin Yang frowned and thought for a few breaths, then said in a low voice: "Call the troops immediately. After daybreak, the army will follow me to attack the Qin army camp. I will drive the Qin people out of Dayan's land!"

When Qin Zheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

He never thought that the princess would choose to attack the Qin army immediately, although pursuing the victory could catch the enemy off guard. However, the princess's army had also traveled a long distance and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Besides, they may not be familiar with the environment and battlefield in the north.

The generals brought by the princess all bowed and accepted the order without any objection. However, the Zhenbei Army and others looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

There were two distinct groups of people in the camp, and they were easy to tell apart. The Black Armor Army wore brand new armor, and even though they were dusty, they were full of energy; while the Northern Guard Army's armor was obviously much more worn out, their expressions were numb, and they all had wounds on their bodies.

Qin Zheng pursed his lips, his face struggling for a long time, and finally took two steps forward and bowed, saying: "Your Highness, the Black Armor Army has just arrived in the northern border and is exhausted. Should we rest for a few days before launching the attack?"

Even if the Qin army returned tonight, they would never have expected Dayan to launch a counterattack immediately, but this was still too...

He said this very politely.

Jinyang understood what he meant, and it was obvious that he thought her move was too risky.

Although the rest of the Zhenbei Army did not speak, they obviously agreed with Qin Zheng's proposal. Although they were eager to retaliate, they would be sending their troops to their deaths if they were not sure.

"General Qin, don't worry. Since I have decided to send troops, I naturally have something to rely on."

When Qin Zheng heard the princess say this, he no longer objected.

"If the Zhenbei Army wants to participate in this battle, General Qin can also lead the troops to follow behind." Jin Yang saw that he was still hesitant and spoke lightly.

"It is the duty of our Northern Army to drive out the Qin army and protect the safety of the northern border."

Besides, he also wanted to see why the princess was so confident. It was said that the princess's strategies were all first-rate, so she must have some backup plan, and he wanted to see it for himself.

When he went back to clean up the remaining Zhenbei Army, the soldiers heard that the princess was going to send troops to the Qin Army camp, and their blood instantly boiled. Even though they were still injured, they still shouted in response.

"I'm going!"

"I also need to go!"

"Count me in too. Damn it. I've been chased and beaten by the Qin people like a grandson for the past two months. Now that they can fight back, they must count me in."

……

At first, the Changnan Army came to the aid of the northern border and joined hands with them to fight the enemy, but most of them focused on defending and were transferred away by the court before they could launch a counterattack.

The eldest princess wanted to lead them to launch a counterattack as soon as she arrived, so how could they not be excited.

Since the outbreak of the war in the north, they have been fighting and retreating, and have basically not won any battles. They have been full of anger for a long time. Especially tonight, they were suddenly attacked by the Qin army, and suffered heavy casualties. They hate them to the core.

When Qin Zheng was reviewing the troops, all the soldiers who were still able to move in the Zhenbei Army lined up. They stood in rows in an orderly manner, each of them with a solemn and focused expression, silently looking at the Black Armor Army in front of them.

They were well-trained and skilled, and quickly emerged from the camp to form a tight and orderly team. Wearing black armor and holding sharp weapons, they followed the eldest princess with steady and powerful steps.

The most eye-catching thing was the transport team that was tightly surrounded and protected by the entire Black Armor Army. There were several horse-drawn carriages pulling black objects of unknown origin.

But it looked obviously heavy, and the wheels of the carriage left deep marks in the mud.

Generally speaking, transport teams would be at the rear of the army because they were heavy and slow, but this transport team was firmly protected in the center and front of the entire marching team.

There was only one reason, which was that the things they were escorting were very important. Qin Zheng was even more curious about this. In the chaos last night, he didn't notice the things they were transporting at all.

The team marched towards the Qin army's camp in a mighty manner. Qin Zheng led the Zhenbei Army at the end of the team. It was obvious that the princess did not take their Zhenbei Army's combat effectiveness into account. If they could help, that would be the best. If not, it would not affect the overall situation.

The Black Armor Army did not stop until they were about two kilometers away from their camp. This distance was enough for the Qin Army's soldiers responsible for reconnaissance and lookout to find them.

Qin Zheng didn't understand why. After the Black Armor Army formed their battle formation, they did not take any action. Instead, they pushed several two-wheeled carts that had been protected in the center during the march to the front.

Qin Zheng shamelessly moved closer and finally saw clearly what was on the cars. They were long, cylindrical tubes made of black iron and looked heavy and sturdy.

Then more soldiers came from the back carrying a few boxes. The boxes were obviously very heavy, and it took several soldiers to lift one box, open the lid of the wooden box, and reveal the iron ball inside.

At least on the surface they looked like iron balls, but the soldiers moved very gently and each iron ball was padded with straw, as if they were afraid of bumping into them.

It's just an iron ball, why should we be so cautious?

Qin Zheng became even more curious.

After the soldiers had prepared everything, the captain in charge walked up to the princess and said solemnly, "Your Highness, the cannons are ready. Shall we fire them?"

Cannon? Ignition?

What does this mean?
