"The first group, hurry up, today we have to dig this piece of the river, if you can't finish the work, don't want to eat. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A burst of Korean words came into his ears, and Chen Xin looked at the Yalu River not far away, a group of North Koreans were working hard to chisel the thick ice under the scolding of several overseers.

If you look around the river, you can see that the entire river is full of North Koreans digging ice.

Occasionally, a few Koreans tried to escape, but they were immediately shot down by bows and arrows, wailing and dragged by the Jurchens to the vicinity of the ice caves that had been carved open and thrown down.

Most people, after a short while, are silent.

But there are also big fates, trying to climb out of the ice hole, but the fate of these people is even worse, after coming out, their soaked clothes quickly formed ice in the cold wind of March, they slowly crawled, people froze step by step, until they froze to death.

The brutal tactics frightened the working Koreans, who began to work obediently.

"My lord, does this really work? Can we really dig through the river? One of the Niu Lu who was sent to support Chen Xin asked with some confusion.

Chen Xin didn't look at the other party, stared straight at the other side, and replied, "The Yalu River will need to wait until mid-April to thaw itself, and by that time, I'm afraid that Huang Taiji's army will already step on our bones to find trouble with the marshal, and if you want to buy time, you can only dig a road to the Yalu River." Do you have a better way? ”

"I just think that the river surface is more than 700 steps wide, when will it have to be chiseled, I'm afraid that before we finish digging, Huang Taiji's pioneer will come, and besides, the ice may be frozen again in less than one night."

"I have arranged this for a long time, so you don't need to worry, do your job well." After that, I glanced at the falcons in groups of two on the horizon, and didn't find anything abnormal.

He turned and walked towards the camp that was entrenched by the river.

It had been more than ten days since the last time Zilharang and Yuetuo were intercepted, and at that time, the rest of Zilharang and their men and horses had already begun to make a detour when they saw that they could not do anything.

However, before Chen Xin could find a place to intercept them again according to the falcon's reconnaissance, a person found them after crossing the river with a small sampan.

The two sides talked for a long time, and the team immediately changed direction, all the way out of North Korea, towards the country of Jin.

Chen Xin knew that it should be Amin who had temporarily controlled the army, and the officer who crossed the river with a small sampan was the one who stayed in the camp to find out the news.

Now Amin must act quickly, either dismiss himself from his post and go to the Kingdom of Jin to plead guiltily and ask for forgiveness, and as soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was vetoed by Chen Xin and some officers with blue flags.

Then there is only one way to rebel, and the entire army attacking Korea must be completely in the hands of the whole army as soon as possible. Because, once Zilharang and Yue Tuo return to China, what awaits Amin is the Jin State crusade army.

However, according to the current situation, Amin did not dare to openly propose self-reliance, after all, half of the people below did not belong to him.

After sorting out his thoughts for a period of time, Chen Xin found that the situation was not too critical, and there was still a lot of room for maneuver.

So Chen Xin volunteered again, willing to take his subordinates to the Yalu River, find a way to stop the Jin army, and buy some time for Amin to rectify the army.

As long as you find a way to survive the first month or so, the Jin State will retreat without a fight, after all, with the current conditions of the Jin State, you really dare not delay the spring ploughing, which is a more important event than the rebellion, and the delay in cultivation will shake the dominance of Huang Taiji and others in the Jin State.

Thinking of Amin's hesitation when he asked for help, Chen Xin couldn't help laughing, and at the critical moment, Amin exposed his character shortcomings, as a commander, hesitation is taboo.

However, as the boss who will eventually be overthrown by himself, Amin's personality is very favorable to Chen Xin.

After Chen Xin repeatedly explained his plan, as well as the help of the officers who had already boarded the ship and could no longer get off the blue flag, Amin agreed to Chen Xin's suggestion.

The whole army was temporarily divided into three parts.

In the first part, Amin personally led the main force to attack the Joseon royal capital, taking advantage of the opportunity of the war to eliminate dissidents, completely control the army, and choose the opportunity to declare himself as the king and occupy the righteous position.

The second part, led by Yajia, to collect the families who moved to North Korea from various banners, now there is not enough manpower, Amin is ready to collect all the Yu Ding and Baoyi according to Chen Xin's suggestion, and form a local garrison force, responsible for the security and cultivation of various places, and can also be pulled to the battlefield at critical moments.

The third part, led by Chen Xin, in addition to the headquarters of the people, Amin also allocated 3 cattle and nearly 1,000 people to Chen Xin's command to listen to the order.

So Chen Xin rushed to the Yalu River in Yiju with most of the combat troops under his command and the three Niu Lu who were allocated, and arrested a large number of Koreans to work as laborers, and dug ice to open the river.

Chen Xin walked to the military tent and called the commander of the engineer company.

"Report, the commander of the subordinate engineer company came to report."

"Come in," Chen Xin asked anxiously, "how is the explosive bag buried?" ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief, everything is ready, according to the drawings, we are on the river surface of 40 miles along the way, with 40 steps as a node, on both sides of the Yalu River to extend a distance of 50 steps inward, each installing 1 explosives package, a total of 800 explosives packages, a total of 40,000 pounds of medicine."

Chen Xin had known these data for a long time, because the calculation of the blasting point was done in vain, and Chen Xin heard the numbers again, and there was no mistake at all, so he skipped them and continued to ask the next question.

"What do you do about the moisture-proof and waterproof leads of the explosive packs?"

"We collected a lot of oiled paper, bamboo and other materials along the way, and after carefully wrapping the explosives bag with oiled paper and brushing it with tung oil, to make sure that it would not leak, we wrapped it in layers of ice cubes and froze it solidly, and finally put it into the ice holes dug out by the North Koreans.

As for the leads, they are all wrapped in bamboo, and the joints are fixed with hemp rope, filled with glutinous rice and fine soil, and covered with oil, paper, and tung oil.

We've done experiments, and there will be no water leaks for 5 days. ”

"Very good, but it has to be carefully checked, the ignition personnel of each explosive bag must be told again and again, all actions are subject to the signal, wolf smoke during the day, beacon fire at night, if there is a business trip, let him come to see him."

"Yes, if you're on a business trip, come and see you."

Chen Xin was satisfied and let the other party go down, and then ordered the guards to "call General Liu Xingzuo." ”

After Li Yongfang was twisted by Chen Xin, the Han army under him was also handed over to Chen Xin by Amin.

According to the plan, there is almost no need to face off with Houjin this time, but you can take advantage of the arrival of the Jin army to test which people can be used and which people will be used as cannon fodder in the newly incorporated team recently.

At the same time, he also has to find a way to get in touch with Daming, because the side of Yizhou is the soldiers and horses of Dongjiang Town, and if he doesn't want to find a way to appease Mao Wenlong, he will be attacked on his back.

didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but let the Ming army cut off their heads, it would be too unjust.

Not long after Chen Ang arrived in Daming, the relationship network has not yet been rolled out, so it is not appropriate to use it at this time, so Liu Xingzuo, who is now an officer under his command, is one of the bridges between himself and Daming.
