Chapter 160: Too Hot? Come on with the ice!
"It's... This is..."Shen Du was dumbfounded, he felt his head buzzing, and he had lost the ability to think.
"It's ice!" Wei Yan glared and shouted incredulously.
The two men who had laid down the barrels stood aside, their hands shaking.
It's not that it's too heavy, it's frozen.
These two were Lu Tianba and Yu Fei, and when they saw the expressions on everyone's faces, they couldn't help laughing.
This kind of expression, they also saw on each other's faces at that time.
Wei Yan rubbed his eyes vigorously, he still didn't believe it.
Two steps forward, came to the barrel, and without hesitation, put his hand in.
In an instant, his expression changed again.
The numb fingertips of the cold reminded him that it was true.
"What would our soldiers do if they had this?" Xu Tian looked at everyone with a smile.
Shen Du rubbed his face with his hands fiercely, and until now he was still a little dazed.
"But that's all, it's just a drop in the bucket!" Shen Du exhaled a long breath and said softly.
He accepted the fact that a bucket of ice had been placed in front of him.
You know, if this bucket of ice is put on the market, what kind of storm will be set off.
You know, you can eat ice in the hot summer, and it is only possible for royal-level people to eat it.
Xu Tian didn't answer Shen Du's question, but just gestured to Lu Tianba.
Lu Tianba comprehended, and led people to quickly bring water and fill the huge wooden basin in the hall.
Then, with the help of several carpenters, the small waterwheel was placed in the tub.
Looking at this strange thing, everyone's hearts moved, and they knew that something earth-shattering was about to appear.
After that, they saw Xu Tian throw several crystals that resembled stones into the water.
I saw that after the thing entered the water, the surface of the water changed rapidly.
However, it did not turn into ice cubes as expected.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, Xu Tian personally started the waterwheel in the wooden basin.
The waterwheel gradually turned, gradually increasing with the force of the current, and finally stopped at a certain speed.
The water in the tub is picked up, then falls, and so on.
As the water flows back and forth in this way, a mist begins to form around the tub.
Slowly, the range is expanding.
The people standing around clearly felt a sense of coolness, to be precise, cold.
The horror of the people has reached the point where they cannot speak.
Even, they feel numb.
Wei Yan stepped forward with another glare, reaching out and touching the water in the wooden basin.
"It's ice!" Wei Yan exclaimed.
At this moment, he was the closest, and after a few breaths, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Because of him, he actually felt cold!
If he told others at this time that he was frozen so cold that his neck was shrinking, others would definitely think he was crazy.
"Lord..."Shen Du tightened the clothes on his body, couldn't help but stay away from here, and arched his hand.
"This thing is..."
"Let's call it a cooler!" Xu Tian rubbed his somewhat sore neck and said lightly.
"This thing is placed in every barracks, but priority is given to the camp of sick sergeants."
"All placed..."Everyone gasped, this stroke is a little too big.
At this time, Shen Du seemed to understand something, and he quickly came to Xu Tian's side.
Asked with some uncertainty. "Lord, is this ice cube..."
"As much as you want!"
Xu Tian's answer shocked Shen Du's body, I don't know if it was cold or shocked.
Seeing this rotating waterwheel, feel the coldness coming from it.
Everyone's eyes flashed and they fell into deep thought.
"If it's really as the lord said, the barracks are equipped with this cooler, and the soldiers can still enjoy the ice.
Then do you still need to fight this battle, I will drag them to death. Wei Yan's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.
What they think is basically related to the military, with one exception.
Yu Fei squinted his eyes, looked at the ice cubes in the bucket, and muttered inwardly.
"How do you make this thing delicious..."
β¦
Xiangyang City, thousands of miles away.
The Sun-Liu coalition army was mighty, stretching for dozens of miles, heading towards Jingzhou.
It's just that they're slow.
At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, and many soldiers walked more than ten miles, and even their weapons could not be carried.
Moreover, even the war horses seem to be a little weak.
Guan Yu walked in the forefront, he patted the red rabbit horse he was riding, and his heart ached, and even it was a little sluggish.
Wiping the dense sweat on his forehead, Guan Yu was about to order a rest.
At this time, Guan Ping patted the horse and came to his side and arched his hand.
"Father! Lu Meng asks to see! β
Hearing Guan Ping's words, Guan Yu turned his head and looked behind him.
I saw that Lu Meng was also riding on a horse not far away, and when he turned his head to look, the other party happened to look at him and gestured to him.
"Is it Amon who wants to see me? Ping'er, in the future, just come over to him! β
Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, stroked his long hair, and pretended to say loudly.
Faintly hearing Guan Yu's words, Lu Meng's hand on the knife clenched tightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
The murderous intent flashing in his eyes showed that he was already angry to the extreme.
Ever since Lu Meng led the army to Xiakou and met Guan Yu, the other party has always been like this.
Lu Meng secretly swore that one day, he would make this invincible guy pay!
Under the leadership of General Guan, LΓΌ Meng came to Guan Yu's side and walked with him.
"General Lu, what are you doing?" Guan Yu didn't even look at the other party, and asked lightly.
"General Guan, I want to remind you that we are fighting in coalition forces, so you and I are equal!" Lu Meng stared at Guan Yu with an unkind face, and said word by word.
"Moreover, according to the information brought back by our scouts, that Xu Tian only cared about training, and his soldiers fell ill a lot!
This is our chance, so in the next suggestion, we should go day and night to raid Xiangyang.
Therefore, please also ask the general to cooperate, let's march to Xiangyang in a hurry, and the battle can be completed! β
After Lu Meng finished speaking, he looked at Guan Yu and waited for the other party's reply.
I saw that the other party looked at the surrounding environment casually, without saying a word, and didn't mean to care about himself at all.
"General Guan!" Lu Meng spoke again in a cold voice.
"Huh?" Guan Yu looked at Lu Meng suspiciously, and said a little abruptly. "Finished? My scout hasn't returned yet, though, and I'll have to wait until the information arrives before I can make a decision on my next step.
If General Lu can't cooperate, you can do it yourself!
Even if you can't beat it, Guan will definitely come to protect you! β
"You..." Lu Meng was furious, unable to speak for a long time, whipped the war horse fiercely, turned around and left quickly.
"Play this with me..."Guan Yu looked at the direction where Lu Meng disappeared with disdain, and said disdainfully.
Moreover, Guan Yu ordered to be stationed on the spot to rest...
β¦
Xiangyang, inside the barracks.
At this time, the barracks had already exploded, and almost everyone was talking about the ice.
They couldn't believe that this summer, they would have ice cubes with them.
Some people secretly scolded themselves for being soldiers for more than ten years.
Some people secretly swear that they will die here!
Of course, Xu Tian knew all this, and he took the saltpeter in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Murmuring inwardly. "This saltpeter freezes, it's really useful..."
