Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Because the weather was still very cold, the temperature could still reach -10 degrees Celsius in the middle of the night. The ice that was shattered did not melt at all, and would instead be frozen by the cold weather.

Even if they were rich and overbearing, they didn't have that many explosives to waste. After that, the garrison troops would have to go about their business. They would have to cut down trees to burn black charcoal and dig up loose black humus.

Every morning, hundreds of people would spend a busy day covering the ice with humus and charcoal. They would use the black color to absorb the sun's energy and speed up the melting of the ice.

He did not dare to try to fight against nature, as long as he could ensure that the ice that had been blown up did not freeze quickly, it would be enough if the enemy could not safely cross the river.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A dull explosion sound came out from behind Xiao Letian. From the sound of it, it seemed like there was a distance of five kilometers between them.

"Luckily we bought a lot of Nuo Beier's explosives this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to handle so much ice with the might of the black gunpowder from the past …" Dragon Lord who was sitting beside Xiao Letian said as he put down the map.

"That's right!" For the great war in the Far East, 12,000 kilograms of engineering explosives and detonators had been sent out from the Chinese armory. If this was not enough to stop that group of Cossack … I really have no other choice! "

Xiao Letian revealed a rare trace of fatigue. Amami Oshima, we have besieged over ten thousand Russian Army, do you know why I chose to besieged them instead of attacking them? "

"It's because we have run out of ammunition! The weapons that we have accumulated over the past three years have almost been used up, the price of arms that the Americans gave us have already risen by three times, and the price of individual supplies have even increased by six or seven times … Damn it! This country will make a fortune in war! "

"Dragon Lord, oh Dragon Lord! Don't disappoint me, if you really lose, I really won't be able to produce the materials … To tell you the truth, the bullets and grenades that were being supplied from the sea were actually borrowed from the Amami Oshima's combat troops! Sima Yun, Yepingtai and the rest can only maintain 18 hours of firepower output, you just need to fire the bullets to obtain the bayonet! "

"Hiss …" Dragon Lord inhaled a breath of cold air. He knew that this war used up a lot of wealth, but he never expected it to be this big.

"No …" It shouldn't be like this, right? Amami Oshima can only maintain 18 hours of firepower output? "

"And that's only a low-intensity battle. If he can launch an active charge and sustain it for 10 hours, then that would be burning incense!"

Dragon Lord clenched his teeth and said, "Prime Minister, please be at ease, I will definitely defend you with all my might! I won't let a soldier cross the river at six of the main crossings! Right now, the thing that people are most worried about is Sister Wu and their side, I'm just afraid that something might happen to them! "

The two of them looked towards the west, past the Amur River, past the Wusuli River and along the rolling mountains and dense primitive forests, all the way to the west.

Inside the Shizheng, the largest border fortress of the Black Dragon River, it had become the new focal point of the entire war. Everything that had happened here would profoundly change the geopolitics of the entire Far East.

The northwest wind was howling, and the snow in the forest was being blown away by the cold wind. Little ice shards were rolling in the snow and being soaked by the snow, pouncing onto people's bodies.

The warmer furs and cotton-padded jackets would lose their warmth as soon as they were smoked by the steam. Cold, cold wind blew through every crack in the clothing, freezing everyone's internal organs.

There was a town called Shen An Ling about ten miles south of Shizheng. This was a dangerous place where the two mountains met.

A small river was flowing close to Shen An Ling and flowing northwards into the Black Dragon River. The sentry post closest to the Shizheng was stationed here.

Normally, in this kind of cold spring weather, the defending army would never come out and stand guard on patrol. But today, General T?pchin, who couldn't make it, went crazy and insisted on staying in the Shizheng.

"Damn it, what kind of weather is this? It's already the beginning of spring and April, and you're still shaving northwest wind …" F * ck, if I don't go inside to roast some meat in such a cold weather, why would I be patrolling? Patrol your grandma's legs … "

A team of five began to patrol through every intersection along the main road, some leading to the village, some leading to the forest, and some simply acting as trails for the hunters.

According to the rules, they should be on patrol every day, because this ancient route was the oldest route that led to and from the Qiqihar. There was no need to mention the importance of strategy, it was also their duty to protect the safety of the caravan.

However, the rules were old and people lived lazily. Who would want to take these random paths? If they had the time, they would go to the outpost to drink and peel off the customers. How nice would that be!

"It's all T?pchin's fault, why don't you go and play with women in Qiqihar! "What are you doing here? You live comfortably in the city, and we've been through eight lifetimes of bad luck …"

"Alright, stop talking!" Didn't you hear that the Ningguta is making trouble for them? If T?pchin did not guard here, where else could he go? If something goes wrong with the river, who's going to be able to take responsibility for it? "

The soldier who was scolded spat on the snow. "Pui …" Bullshit! He was still guarding the river? "Damn it! He was the one who let the Russian in! I didn't know that …"

While he was cursing furiously, the veteran in the lead suddenly waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then he knelt on the ground and pressed his ear against the snow, listening carefully.

"This is bad!" The sound of horses' hooves could be heard from the south! "It seems like there are at least 200 of them, or even more …"

"Damn it, it's the old forest to the south! "There are only a few crappy villages on the other side of the Edil River, how can there be so many horses …"

In the eyes of the old soldier, the ice crystals on the snow started to jump, which meant that the team of horses was rapidly approaching. There was no road to the south, and the area between the Dianer River and the Torre Hadar Mountain was a primitive forest, with only a few villages and a very small scale, so other than Hunters, no one would choose to pass through here.

"Something's not right!" Something was not right! Even a team of riders wouldn't run on this path, it was just too uncaring of horsepower! "What a sinner!"

Just as they were cursing, a soldier pointed at a corner of the mountain road and yelled, "Mother!" There really is a team of riders... And they're all f * cking carrying people. No matter where they are, they won't be able to continue on. Come out and rob them! "

"Bullshit, look closer!" That was clearly our number one armor … This is our Great Qing's cavalry! "

"Hello …" Slow down! All of you, slow down! "Which part are you guys in …"
