The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

Let him take 5000 men and horses to dig up the ice in the upper reaches of the night and lean towards the river.

Under the action of a large amount of salt and charcoal, the originally solid ice layer became fragile.

Unable to bear it at all, the weight of Pang Tong's 5000 troops will naturally burst.

Ancient salt was expensive, and no one was willing to use it to melt snow.

So let alone Pang Tong, even Guo Jia and others, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, would never believe that salt can melt ice.

Although it is said that with the saltworks, refined salt can be mass-produced, but the refined salt consumed to eliminate ice is worth at least 10 taels of silver!

If Pang Tong is not fooled, Hua Xiong's money will be in vain.

So Hua Xiong deliberately left the camp undefended, making it look like a woman without pants.

Sure enough, Pang Tong took the hook like a man who was dazzled by desire.

"thump!"

"thump!"

After the ice broke, it began to collapse continuously.

Pieces of ice shattered, and an unknown number of soldiers fell into the river under the ice.

In the middle of winter and the twelfth lunar month, if you fall into this piercing river, you will only have a dead end!

Pang Tong's mind was blank, only one thought, "Escape!"

He ran frantically towards the south bank.

Liu Feng and the others had no other thoughts and also followed Pang Tong.

But the distance of one or two hundred steps is so far away at this moment.

At this moment, a few cannon shots suddenly came from behind!

It was Hua Xiong's crusade against Xuzhou that brought the hundred cannons!

The artillery roared in unison, aimed at the Zushui River, and began to bombard.

The originally fragile ice layer no longer exists now.

The soldiers who hadn't had time to get ashore all fell into the river.

Pang Tong was about to run back to the shore, but suddenly his feet were empty and he fell into the river involuntarily.

A biting cold feeling came from the lower body.

Pang Tong's eyes darkened, and he lost consciousness immediately.

Chapter 3 Seventy

Of Pang Tong's 5000 men and horses, only the soldiers who had not had time to get on the ice and those who had just set foot on the ice survived.

Most of the soldiers fell into the bitter river.

The sound of rushing water, mixed with screams, filled the night sky.

Guo Jia and others on the sidelines had complex expressions.

Pang Tong was very famous, nicknamed Fengchu, and was good at leading troops to fight.

But without even fighting Hua Xiong, the entire army was wiped out, and they might also be buried in the river.

My lord...it's too scary!

They looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, the lord I am loyal to, if I follow Liu Bei, I am afraid that I will die today.

……

The next day.

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord!"

Tai Shici, who was in charge of going downstream, ran into the camp excitedly.

"Brother Ziyi, how is the battle going?"

Zhou Cang asked impatiently.

"Of course it's a bumper harvest!"

Tai Shici laughed.

"Of course I know that the harvest is good. How many enemy troops have been wiped out?"

Tai Shici smiled, and said to Hua Xiong respectfully,

"My lord, our army captured eleven thousand enemy corpses downstream.

After careful identification, Pang Tong and Liu Feng were found in the corpses. "

Guo Jia, Zhou Cang and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Hua Xiong in ecstasy.

"Congratulations, lord!"

"This is really a bumper harvest!"

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong served as military advisers in Liu Bei's army and were his right-hand men.

And Liu Feng is Liu Bei's adopted son.

In this battle, more than [-] enemies were defeated, Liu Bei's adopted son was killed, and one of his arms was broken.

Except for the refined salt, our side has almost no loss.

How can this not make everyone ecstatic?

"In addition, Brother Wenyuan has already crossed the river from the upper reaches and captured Pang Tong's camp."

Tai Shici smiled and said,

"Sure enough, as my lord expected, there are traps around Pang Tong's camp, and there are gunpowder and kerosene in the camp."

Hearing this, everyone felt a little rejoiced.

Fortunately, Hua Xiong did not choose to attack Pang Tong's camp at night, otherwise, he would have suffered heavy losses.

"My lord is so clever, we are ashamed of ourselves."

Guo Jia sighed.

Hua Xiong smiled slightly,

"People, they are afraid of greed.

If Pang Tong could restrain his greed, how could he have died in the river?

Command the Engineer Battalion to build the Pontoon Bridge. "

"Yes, my lord."

Guo Jia arched his hands, then asked,

"My lord, how should the remains of Pang Tong and Liu Feng be buried?"

Hua Xiong pondered for a while, then smiled,

"Send it back to Liu Bei."

Guo Jia and Li Ru looked at each other.

What is killing and punishing one's heart? This is killing and punishing one's heart!

If he wins you, he will kill your adopted son and military advisor, and send the body back to you.

The pontoon bridge was soon completed.

Hua Xiong's army crossed the river and slowly advanced towards Xiapi City.

……

Xiapi City.

"military adviser!"

"My son!"

Looking at the two corpses brought in by the soldiers, Liu Bei burst into tears.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others on the side also had sad expressions on their faces.

Zhuge Liang, who heard the news at this moment, rushed back quickly.

When he saw the two corpses in the yard, he was taken aback.

"My lord, this...what is the situation?"

Liu Bei finally stopped his tears, and said in a sobbing voice,

"Just now... Hua Xiong sent envoys to bring the corpses of the military division and Feng'er.

The two of them fell into Hua Xiong's tricks in Zushui..."

Before he could finish speaking, he passed out from crying.

The two Guan and Zhang on the side hurried forward, pinching Liu Bei's people in a hurry.

Zhuge Liang called several soldiers who had returned from the defeat, and asked them clearly about the course of the battle.

He sighed, feeling indescribable in his heart.

Before parting with Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang urged him to beware of Hua Xiong's tricks, and he only needed to contain Hua Xiong.

Unexpectedly, Pang Tong still fell into Hua Xiong's tricks!

But then again, if it was me, I'm afraid it would be difficult to resist the temptation.

"Kong Ming, there are rumors in the army that Hua Xiong is blessed by the heavens, so the solid ice will break.

Now it makes people's hearts unstable. "

Xu Shu, a literati at the side, sighed.

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "Although I don't know how Hua Xiong broke the ice. But the theory of ghosts and gods is nonsense."

At this time Liu Bei woke up leisurely, he looked at Zhuge Liang,

"Military Master, is your gossip array ready?"

"Reporting to the lord, it is ready."

"Alright, this time Hua Xiong is here, you must kill him!"

Liu Bei's eyes were full of hatred.

After Zhuge Liang saw it, he also felt a chill in his heart, and he nodded quickly and said,

"My lord, don't worry!"

Only then did Liu Bei sigh, and looked sadly at the bodies of Pang Tong and Liu Feng.

"Pass down the order, the whole army will be buried, and the military commander and Feng'er will be buried respectfully!"

"As ordered!"

Liu Bei was too sad, and it was not easy for others to bother him.

Leaving Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu got up and left.

"Kong Ming, is your gossip formation really that powerful?"

Xu Shu couldn't help asking.

"That's natural." Zhuge Liang said confidently, "This is a formation that I have studied for more than ten years, and it will definitely make Hua Xiong come and go."

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, now our army is counting on you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let Hua Xiong continue to be arrogant."

Zhuge Liang patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and headed out of the city again.

Tens of thousands of troops outside the city had formed their formations, waiting for Hua Xiong's arrival.
