I know there's also expanding rock breaking stuff, saw it on the YouTube. Drill a hole, pour rock expanding stuff in, come back tomorrow.

Almost seems like you would want to rent (maybe from home depot) an SDS Hammer Drill with a chisel tip to break apart the rocks!

You will have more success breaking up the rock if you first dig around them. If they are surrounded by dirt it will lessen the effect of hammering.
You may hit the rock a few times and it appears nothing is happening, but hit it enough and it will split. The question is how much is enough. You will find out when the rock splits.
It doesn't affect my answer but what size is medium? Your idea of medium is different from someone else's. It is more informative to give an estimated measurement as best you can such as 30 inches across.

I'm with Delta1Seven re: using an SDS (Plus or Max) with a proper bull point chisel. Dipping bits in cool water to keep them cool will extend their life and reduce time between filing them sharp again.
