A bit of info (humor) from the linked article comments section:

I should add that Sweden was potentially close to success in one of its raids on Norway after they got hold of some dynamite.
The raiders were throwing the sticks over the Norwegian fort walls.

However, the Norwegians quickly discovered that if they lit the fuses and threw the sticks back, they were much more effective.

This must be origin of the phrase: "A thousand Swedes were chased through the weeds by only one Norwegian."
