Chapter 110: Explosion

Hauge also saw the chaotic situation on the other side, and he had been fighting for many years, and he could easily see that the number of people on the other side was small and the morale of the army was unstable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He saw even more that the North Koreans were smashing the ice even more violently under the pressure of the overseers' bows and arrows.

Although in the period of time that Hauge had seen, he had failed to open a hole after dozens of smashes, but he didn't dare to bet.

He didn't dare to gamble on the fate of the country that the North Koreans would not be able to smash the ice, it was already March, and there was less than a month to go, and the river would be thawed, in case of an accident, some holes would be smashed, and a large area of ice would collapse, which would be a big problem.

So, under his orders, more than a dozen horsemen wrapped their hooves and stepped forward to test whether the ice could allow the army to pass at one time.

Others found a place to tie their horses, began to put on their armor, and waited for the results of their exploration.

More than a dozen people galloped on the ice, turning in a big circle, except for two unlucky ghosts who fell and broke their legs, and one person fell into an ice hole, the ice where the others walked was very strong and would not break easily.

Hauge, who had obtained the result, waved his big hand, and the whole army marched towards the opposite bank on foot.

The army was advancing slowly, and Chen Xin did not make any movement except for the more commotion of the recruit company.

Some members of the former Han army, who ran towards Hauge, knelt on the ground and cried loudly that their master had been imprisoned by Chen Xin, and that they had been deceived.

At this time, on the battlefield, Hauge didn't have time to distinguish whether these people were sincere or false, and he wanted to look down on the Han people, so he didn't care whether these people's words were true or false.

I didn't tell if it was really a surrender, and casually ordered people to let these people take the lead, and if anyone dared to hesitate, the overseer team standing behind him was immediately stabbed.

3,000 light armor armed with bows and arrows in front of the front, heavy armor with short soldiers riding horses behind, two layers of queues at 20 paces apart, escorting the Han army who had been issued with short knives in front of the formation, all the way to Chen Xinfang's camp.

Chen Xin's side just kept urging the captured North Koreans to knock on the ice, and some dared to shoot them on the spot, and some of them couldn't stand this kind of high pressure, so they threw down their tools and rushed towards the other side.

Hauge had always felt that something was not quite right there, and after the army stopped the North Koreans who were coming, he immediately called for an interpreter to ask some questions.

"When did you start digging into the ice?"

A middle-aged man who was older and looked more authoritative in the crowd knelt on the cold ice and replied carefully, "The villains were arrested the day before yesterday and forced to smash the ice early yesterday morning." ”

"Yesterday smashed a day, and you guys didn't make any progress?" Hauge was a little incredulous.

"The villains don't dare to deceive the general, it's really been smashed for a day, it's been going well, when we chatted last night, we quietly calculated, and almost smashed nearly a thousand ice holes."

An officer under Hauge couldn't help but scold, "Nonsense, where is there an ice cave in the river, no matter how dishonest you are, cut off your head." ”

The North Korean who was called for questioning did not wait for the interpreter to translate the words, but just watched the other party draw his sword, and knew that the speaker was angry, and immediately kept buttoning his head in fright.

Hauge stopped the officer and continued to the interpreter, "Tell them that as long as they tell the truth, they will be fine, and ask them why the ice hole dug up yesterday is gone." ”

The interpreter said cautiously, and the middle-aged man who had just replied replied, "The weather is too cold at night, and the ice holes that were smashed out yesterday are frozen." ”

When Hauge heard this, he couldn't help but think of the battle of Juehua Island last year, which was similar to the situation now, except that it was January and now it is March.

The Jin army, led by Wunag, led by the Mongol cavalry and the Manchurian cavalry, about tens of thousands of people, attacked Juehua Island from the frozen sea.

The Ming army chiseled the ice for 15 miles, and the array was organized to defend with the car, but the heavy snow fell, and the ice was re-frozen.

The cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, advancing quickly on the ice, landed at the mouth of the Jar, attacked the north gate of the grain hoarding city, and rushed into the city after fierce fighting.

In the end, the army slaughtered all the soldiers and civilians on the island, and then burned all the grain and grass before retreating.

Hauge let out a string of laughs when he thought of this, "Hahaha..."

One of his officers was very amusing, and asked flatteringly, "Why is the master laughing?" ”

Haoge pointed to the place where Chen Xin was and said contemptuously: "I laugh at the sea tiger there without a plan, I have long said that I can't let the Han lead the army." With last year's battle of Juehua Island in front of him, this person still thinks of such a stupid way to chisel ice, which deserves my great gold and prosperity. ”

All the officers immediately echoed one after another, and the sycophants were like a tide.

Hauge rode on his horse and waved his big hand, "The whole army obeyed the order, strode forward, captured the rebellion, and reproduced the great victory in the battle of Juehua Island." ”

3,000 people were in high spirits, shouting slogans and approaching.

Chen Xin looked at the enemy troops on the river, who had been moving cautiously and slowly, and whose morale was immediately high after asking a few North Koreans, showed a mocking smile on his face.

Seeing that the enemy army had crossed the center of the river and was still advancing towards this side, Chen Xin ordered to "release wolf smoke." ”

Several piles of firewood that had been prepared long ago were lit, and thick black smoke shot into the sky.

Hauge was also shocked when he saw the wolf smoke, and immediately reined in his horse, but after waiting for a while, nothing happened at all, and no ambush appeared, so he temporarily suppressed his doubts and ordered the whole army to cross the river as soon as possible.

Kuaima walked a little further, and seeing that it was less than 200 steps away from the south bank of the Yalu River, the North Koreans working by the river were clearly visible, and the soldiers wielding bows and arrows on the river and threatening the North Koreans to continue their work also appeared in their eyes.

The lightly armored soldiers in the front row had already drawn their feathered arrows and started to prepare for the shot, and they were thinking, "Just go a little further, and give these rebels a good look." ”

But suddenly heard the people on the other side of the river call all the working North Koreans to the shore, and the North Koreans, who had long been panicked, crawled to the shore with their heads in their hands, and then squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, waiting for Chen Xin's next order.

The Hauge army thought that the other side was about to send out troops, and was waiting for the battle, when they heard this violent explosion on the river, most of the explosions sounded almost at the same time, and occasionally there were a few incongruous sounds, but no one heard them.

The 800 explosive packets that exploded almost simultaneously, each with 50 catties of charge, a total of 40,000 catties of high-purity granular black powder, exploded at the same time in a sealed environment, causing temporary deafness to everyone within 40 miles of the coast.

The explosion produced a powerful shock wave, which was highly concentrated in the water, creating huge craters that transmitted and cracks stretched all the way through the ice.
