Time is tight, the task is heavy, and there are not enough explosives and other tools. If you want to defend such a wide and long river, you must use some clever methods. Efficiency is the most important indicator.
The old man has very rich life experience. Under the reminder of the old man, the busy people on the ice at the ferry crossing of Aihun City suddenly began to change their working methods.
At this moment, the ice surface in Heilongjiang is more than half a meter deep, so you can run horses and vehicles without any problem. The wide water surface of Heilongjiang is more than 1,500 meters wide. This is still the dry season in winter. Once it reaches the high water season in summer, the width of the river surface in Heilongjiang will be It can be more than two kilometers or even three kilometers wide.
It is not easy to break through the 1.5 kilometers of ice. In addition, if you want to safely block the enemy's troops, according to the terrain around Aihui City, you only need to break through the five kilometers of river ice. Layers can prevent the Rakshasa cavalry from taking a detour to attack.
One point and five kilometers times five kilometers, this is 7.5 square kilometers of ice cover that needs to be destroyed, which is already close to the area of the Forbidden City.
If we had followed Hunchun's previous sabotage plan and relied on explosives and human sea tactics to pile up the enemy, it would have been difficult to quench our thirst. However, Lao Cangtou's strategy solved a big problem.
I saw that the crowd that was originally overwhelming like herding sheep on the ice began to organize. They formed a team of a hundred people and began to gather together with various tools for cutting ice and marched hand in hand under the leadership of the officer.
Some soldiers with quick legs began to measure the ice surface, and they lowered long ropes every thirty meters from east to west, north to south, and then civilians carried basket after basket of black soil and spread black lines under these ropes.
Standing on the hillside, Hunchun watched as the entire river turned into a huge Go board, and these civilians began to move along the longitude and latitude lines of the Go board.
Pickaxes, shovels, ice picks, sledgehammers... some people even donated their kitchen knives and scissors and started chipping away at the ice along the black line.
Two-thirds of the half-meter-deep ice layer was cut down, and only a long ice groove was cut out. The ice grooves crisscrossed each other, forming huge ice grids of more than 100 square meters. The entire ice The stress structure of the layer is completely destroyed.
"Hahaha..." Hunchun laughed and said, "Smart, really smart. No wonder people say that people always have a treasure. It's true! With this treatment, people can walk on the ice safely, but if the war horses want to charge, they are courting death. As long as they dare to charge on the ice, just wait for the ice to break!"
The old man smiled honestly, "My lord, you can also spread charcoal and black soil in these ice troughs to speed up the melting. In this way, in one day at most, the ice at the entire ferry will not be able to pass through the cavalry..."
"Now these people can't cut the ice fast enough. Your Majesty can order boiling water or even boiling oil on the shore. At that time, those areas that have not been dug should be poured with boiling water and hot oil first. This will save more manpower when digging. ?"
The wisdom of the masses is great. Hunchun followed his advice and quickly issued orders one after another. The entire process of destroying the ice surface became faster and faster.
What a spectacular scene this is. Along the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, hundreds of huge pots and stoves are lined up. The pine trees below are crackling and burning, and shovelfuls of ice and snow are thrown into the pots and quickly melt. Blue flames licked the bottom of the pot, and soon the heat began to rise upwards, and pearl-like bubbles began to roll out.
A full 30,000 soldiers and civilians worked desperately together. Those who knelt on the ice to dig ice troughs, those who shuttled back and forth delivering boiling water to pour ice cubes, and those who carried baskets of charcoal and black soil to fill the pits. Everyone was working hard. Working tirelessly, no one even drank the broth cooked on the shore.
Just when everyone was busy, several plumes of smoke suddenly appeared on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River. Hunchun was shocked and thought that the enemy had arrived early. The busy soldiers and civilians on the river were also frightened, and they dropped their tools and prepared to retreat to the shore. Defend.
At this moment, hundreds of people carrying tools suddenly emerged from the river embankment on the other side. A group of people ran towards the river like crazy.
"It's the folks from the north bank!" Everyone cheered, and the two groups of people gathered together on the river and hugged each other.
"Sir! They are the remnants of Jiangbei! They are here to help us! They also know about our fight against Rakshasa ghosts..."
Hunchun looked at the crying people in Jiangbei, and tears flowed out again. He had never been so embarrassed in his life.
"Those are our remnants! They have not forgotten their mother country, they are still of the same blood as us!" Hunchun shouted at the generals in Heilongjiang, "We don't want them anymore, but they have not forgotten our country!" Let’s live up to our expectations, we have to live up to our expectations!”
"Defeat these Rakshasa ghosts! Recover our homeland..." The survivors of Jiangbei who had suffered countless hardships on the river knelt on the ice and kowtowed to the south.
"Mighty general! Come across the river! Recover our homeland... We kowtow to you and set up a memorial tablet for you! Don't leave us to die outside..."
The Heilongjiang generals were all dumbfounded. At this moment, there was a fire burning in their hearts. "It turns out that we were so useless before! How many sins have we committed!"
God knows how much hardship the people on the other side have suffered over the years. The people outside the customs have been living a very miserable life, but in comparison on the ice, the people in Jiangbei are thinner and their clothes are more tattered.
Ten years! Having been ruled by aliens for ten years, when will these hellish days end!
"Sir! As long as you give the order, we will fight across Heilongjiang... Oh, oh, oh, what a shame, I have atoneed for my sins! What a sin we have committed!"
The men who looked like iron towers were crying so hard at this moment. Hunchun clenched his fists tightly, and his nails were already embedded in the palms of his hands.
"There will be such a day! There will be such a day! His Majesty is only thirteen years old and can lead us to launch this mutiny. When His Majesty takes charge in the future, he will definitely lead us back!"
"This Qing Dynasty can't count on anyone, not the Queen Mother, nor the Prince! We can only count on Your Majesty to be the leader of the revival of our Qing Dynasty!"
"Don't cry out! Prepare for war! The entire army is preparing for war... I have a hunch that the enemy is not far away, the enemy is not far away!"
With the help of more survivors on the north bank, the progress of the project on the river became faster and faster. People watched the dark ice grooves connected into a grid, forming a huge chessboard on the river. At this moment, the sun had begun to set. sunk.
I don't know when, the northwest wind suddenly started blowing again, and the fires along the river began to be lit. In the cold wind, many soldiers and civilians took turns to warm themselves over the fire, drink broth, and bake some dry food.
Just as everyone was waiting for dark to finish work, suddenly the survivors on the north bank of the river burst out in panic and shouts. The soldiers and civilians on the south bank set up pavilions and looked north. They saw countless people who had even lost their tools and were running towards the north and northeast. Escaped.
"The Rakshasa ghost...the Rakshasa ghost's cavalry is here! Run away quickly... The folks on the river should run away too!"
The soldiers spilled the broth, and the people dropped their dry food in shock. Just above the northwest river embankment, a big flag flashed out with a double-headed eagle fluttering in the wind.
At 4:44 in the afternoon, the Central Asian Cossack vanguard finally arrived on the north bank of Aihun, and Tsarist Russian reinforcements finally arrived.
