It is said to be an ice wall. In fact, this description is no longer accurate.
Because at this time, in front of the ice wall, countless large and small ice blocks have long been crowded, connecting the originally thin ice wall into a thick layer of glacier!
On top of the glacier was a large ship whose bow was severely damaged but could not sink.
The huge hull was squeezed by the surrounding ice, and from time to time it made a heart-breaking sound of the boards shattering.
And this is just one end of the ice wall. On the other side, due to the difference in water levels, a waterfall several feet high has been formed!
And it is different from the common waterfalls that only have water flowing at the top.
On this icefall made up of ice cubes, there is not only a large river mixed with countless broken ice cubes, but also a steady flow of water flowing down from the gap on the top.
There is also some river water, stubbornly bursting out from the gaps in the ice wall!
These water columns, either small or thick, were like spears, piercing the waterfall straight and rushing towards the stone wall in the distance. The hard stone wall was washed away with mud and debris flying. The scene was spectacular!
At this time, Xiao Han had followed the crowd to the ice wall.
When he saw the stone walls on both sides as steep as a knife, as well as the huge ice wall across the stone walls, blocking countless rivers, even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened!
No wonder the people of Luoyang City did not think of other ways to save themselves, but instead placed their hopes on the illusory gods and God!
In front of such a huge ice wall, other than myself who owns a firearm, I guess everyone would be in awe!
"Bang bang bang..."
While Xiao Han was still dazed, Gouzi had already sent Fatty and others from the top, throwing down several large rocks one after another, sending debris flying from the ice wall and splashing river water.
"Master Hou! The ice wall is not strong! It can be exploded!"
Gouzi lay on the edge and carefully observed the place where the big rocks fell, and quickly came to the conclusion that although the ice wall looked huge, it was not strong!
You know, the firearms they are now equipped with can blast through even the cement walls made by the Marquis, let alone these ice cubes that were not explained in the first place.
"Well, which one of you knows the best about the situation here?"
After listening to Gouzi's report, Xiao Han nodded and asked in a deep voice to the many officials and craftsmen following him.
He originally wanted to ask the craftsman who choked him directly, but after thinking about it, he thought it would be safer to ask someone else.
After all, if this guy is just a gangster and is not familiar with water conservancy matters, then if I listen to him rashly, wouldn't I be jumping into a pit?
"The one who knows the situation best?"
Everyone following Xiao Han heard his question. Although they were a little hesitant, they finally turned their attention to Li San, even the little old man from the Ministry of Engineering was no exception.
"It's indeed him!"
And when they saw everyone, they really looked at Li San! Xiao Han raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was not surprised. He asked him directly: "If I want to open a few gaps in the ice wall now! How do you think I should hit it? How big should I hit it!"
"You, can you make a gap in the ice wall? How...how?"
Li San had just been scolded by Xiao Han, and his previous arrogance had disappeared. Now when he heard that Xiao Han was going to open a gap in the ice wall, he was even more shocked and even started to stutter.
"Don't worry about how I fight! Just tell me where to fight and how big to hit!" Xiao Han didn't want to waste time explaining to him anymore. His eyes were cold and he asked sharply.
"Oh...oh..." Li San was stabbed by Xiao Han's gaze, and his heart immediately froze. He quickly lowered his head, pointed at the ice wall and said: "Back to the Marquis! If you can open a gap, it's best to go to the big ship There is an opening at the bottom! Because first, the ice there has been somewhat loosened by the ship, so it is easier to drill holes.
The second is that it is the middle of the entire ice wall! If a larger gap can be opened there, the water flow will make the gap bigger and bigger. If you are lucky, the gap will not be blocked by other floating ice, and it will gradually spread in all directions, and finally collapse the entire ice wall. , which is also the only way to minimize losses. "
"Under that ship?" Xiao Han listened attentively to what Li San said, and then carefully looked at the position of the big ship. After seeing clearly that there was a place under the big ship where there was no river water flowing down, he nodded decisively and asked Said: "In your opinion, how big does this gap need to be?"
"At least three feet in diameter! Of course, 6 feet is the best!" Li San said quickly without hesitation. It was obvious that he had thought about this method, but he was unable to dig out this hole in the ice wall before he decided to do it. I kept holding back and didn't say anything.
"Six feet..." Xiao Han pondered for a moment, then looked at Gouzi: "How can it be done?"
Gouzi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said: "There is no problem in blowing up a hole, but it is not easy to control the size of the hole! It is best to squeeze out some time and test it in other places. See See how powerful the firearm is against these ice walls, so that you can determine the final charge!"
"No, it's too late!"
At this time, before Xiao Han had time to speak, Li San spoke anxiously: "Although I don't know what method the Marquis will use, I really can't delay the time any longer! If we delay any longer, there is no need to dig a dike upstream, and the big river will be destroyed." The water will overflow the river bank on its own!"
"How much time is left?" Seeing that Li San's anxious look didn't seem to be fake, Xiao Han spoke a little faster.
"An hour, no, maybe half an hour! In fact, the water level just now was already very dangerous!" At this time, Li San remembered that his previous decision to dig a dike was stopped by Xiao Han, and he glanced at him involuntarily.
"Well, then I have to try it myself!"
Gouzi also knew that the matter was urgent, so he stepped forward and volunteered without waiting for Xiao Han to think about it!
"I, I'll go too!" Seeing the opportunity to show his face in front of the Marquis and the boss, the fat man naturally did his part and jumped out, patting his thick chest!
"That's fine!"
Xiao Han knew that when it came to playing with firearms, no one in the world could play with the dog in front of him, not even himself!
So I just told him to pay attention to safety and asked him to prepare relevant items immediately.
However, even though it was said to be preparation, there was really nothing to prepare for it.
It's nothing more than a few pieces of waterproof silk cloth, two long ropes, spikes and ice axes made on site.
Liu Cheng, who had just returned from the big ship, heard that the Marquis's men were going to dig a hole under the ship in person. He immediately volunteered, tied a rope around his waist, and led the two of them to step on the slippery ice again. The big ship sailed in the middle of the ice wall.
