Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Time was of the essence, and there were not enough tools like explosives. If he wanted to defend such a long and wide river, he would have to use a clever method. Efficiency was the most important factor.

The old man had a lot of experience in life, and with albus pallidus's reminder, the people who were busy working on the ice at the Shizheng's ferry started to change their way of work.

At this moment, the surface of the Black Dragon River was about half a meter deep, there was no problem even running horses or cars, and the wide surface of the river was about 1500 meters wide, and this was during the winter when the water was dried up. Once the summer season was over, the width of the Black Dragon River would exceed 2 or even 3 km wide.

Moreover, if he wanted to safely defend against the enemy's forces, according to the topography of the Shizheng, as long as he wanted to break through the ice layer that was five kilometers long, it would be possible for the Rakasha cavalry to take a detour and attack him.

1.5 km multiplied by 5 km. This was 7: 5 km of ice cover needed to be destroyed. This was already close to the size of the Forbidden City.

If it was according to Hun Chun's previous plan of destroying the land and relying on the explosives to pile up the land, she would probably not be able to get out of the water. However, albus pallidus's plan had finally solved a big problem.

The crowd on the ice, which had originally covered the sky like a flock of sheep, began to gather. A hundred of them began to gather together, all sorts of tools they used to chisel the ice, and under the lead of an officer, they advanced together.

The soldiers with fast legs began to measure the surface of the ice. Every thirty meters, a long rope would be lowered from the north, south, east, and west.

Hun Chun who was standing on the hillside watched as the entire river turned into a huge Go board, and these people started to move along the Go's latitude and longitude line.

A pickaxe, a shovel, an ice pick, a sledgehammer... There were even some people who gave up their kitchen knives and scissors and began to cut the ice along the black line.

Two-thirds of the way down, the half meter deep layer of ice was only enough to create a long ice channel. The ice channels crisscrossed with each other, forming a huge grid of ice over a hundred square meters. The stress structure of the entire layer of ice was completely destroyed.

"Hahaha …" The Hun Chun laughed, "Smart, you're really smart, no wonder people say that people always take things for granted! With this kind of treatment, people can safely walk on the ice, but if the group of war horses want to charge, that will be seeking death. As long as they dare to charge on the ice, then we will have to wait for the ice to crack! "

albus pallidus laughed honestly: "Sir, you can still quickly melt the ice trough with charcoal and black soil. That way, it will take at most a day for the entire ferry to be covered in ice, and it won't be enough time to pass the cavalry …"

"The speed at which these people are digging ice is not fast enough. The lord can order the people to boil water or even boil oil on the shore. Those areas that have not been dug up, first pour boiling water and hot oil over them."

The intelligence of the masses was great, the Hun Chun was a benevolent person, one order after another was quickly issued, the entire process of destroying the ice surface was getting faster and faster.

Along the path of the Black Dragon River Southern Bank, hundreds of huge pots and pans were lined up. Under the pots, the pine wood chopping and burning were crackling, shovels after shovels of snow were thrown into the pot and quickly melted. The light blue flame licked the bottom of the pot and very quickly, the steam started to rise, and pearl-like bubbles started to roll out.

A total of thirty thousand civilians and soldiers were working together desperately, kneeling on the ice, sending water back and forth to fill the trenches with ice cubes, carrying baskets of charcoal and black soil to fill the pits. No one was tired of working, and no one even drank the meat soup that was cooked on the shore.

Just as everyone was busy getting busy, suddenly, there were a few streams of smoke coming out from the north shore of Black Dragon River. Hun Chun turned pale with fright, thinking that the enemy had arrived ahead of time.

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of people carrying tools suddenly emerged from the dikes on the other side of the river. A group of people ran madly towards the surface of the river.

"We're from the northern shore!" Everyone cheered. Two groups of people crowded together on the river, hugging each other.

"Sir!" It was a survivor of Jiangbei! They're coming to help us! They also know that we are fighting against the Russian … "

Hun Chun looked at the wailing citizens of Jiangbei and once again burst into tears. In his entire life, he had never felt such humiliation before.

"Those are our people! They have not forgotten the Home Country, they are still in the same bloodline as us! " The Hun Chun shouted at the generals of Black Dragon River, "We don't want them anymore, but they have not forgotten our country! Just do your best, we have to do our best! "

"Defeat these Russian! "To reclaim our homeland …" Those Jiang Bei survivors who had suffered countless hardships on the river kneeled on the ice and kowtowed towards the south.

"General is mighty!" Cross the river! Retrieve my homeland... We have kowtowed to you, we have given you a memorial tablet! "Don't lose us! We'll die outside …"

The officers of Black Dragon River were all dumbfounded. At this moment, it was as if a ball of fire was burning in their hearts, "So it turns out that we were not such things before!" "Fuck, how many sins have we created?!"

Who knew how many hardships the people on the other side of the river had endured over the years. Originally, the people outside the city had been living a miserable life, but compared to the ice, the people in Jiangbei were thinner and skinnier, and their clothes were more tattered.

Ten years! After being ruled by an alien race for ten years, when would this hellish day end?!

"Sir!" As long as you give the order, we'll go to the Heilongjiang... Wuu, f * ck you, your father will atone for his sins! What kind of sin have we created!? "

One by one, the tower-like men cried until they stopped crying. Hun Chun clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms until they turned dark red.

"There will be a day like that! There would definitely be a day like that! His Majesty was only thirteen years old when he started this mutiny. When His Majesty comes to power in the future, he will definitely bring us back to fight! "

"This Great Qing can't count on anyone, the empress dowager can't do it, and neither can the prince! We can only count on His Majesty to become the new Lord of our Qing Dynasty! "

"Don't give me your account number! Prepare for battle! Prepare entire army for battle... I have a premonition that the enemy is not far, and the enemy is not far! "

With the help of more survivors on the north bank, the progress of the river became faster and faster. The people watched as the dark ice trough connected into a grid, forming a huge chessboard on the river. At this moment, the sun had already begun to set.

He did not know when, but the northwest wind had suddenly started blowing again, and the large bonfires along the river began to burn. In the cold wind, many of the soldiers and civilians were changing places to roast some food, drink some meat soup, and so on.

Just as everyone was waiting for the night to come to an end, suddenly, there was a burst of frightened shouts from the survivors on the north bank of the river. The citizens of Southern Bank looked towards the north with their hands under the awning, only to see countless of citizens throwing away their tools and fleeing towards the north and northeast.

"Russian... Russian's cavalry is here! Flee quickly... The villagers on the surface of the river should also quickly flee! "

The soldiers had knocked over the broth, and the people had lost their rations. On the northwest bank, like a flashing flag, a two-headed eagle was flying in the wind.

4: 44 p.m., the Central Asia and vanguard unit finally arrived at the northern shore. The Russian reinforcements finally arrived.
