Chapter 369: Icebreaker Operation

"When do you think I've fought, unprepared?"

Hua Xiong smiled,

"What you should be worried about now is whether the person on the other side will be fooled."

When Guo Jia heard it, it was also the same reason.

He has known Hua Xiong for so long, and he has never seen Hua Xiong suffer a loss.

"I hope Pang Tong can be fooled, otherwise, the silver of the white flowers will be wasted."

Guo Jia said with a sad face.

Hua Xiong suddenly burst out laughing,

"I think he's going to be fooled."

"Why is the lord so sure?"

"It's human nature to gamble. Especially Pang Tong, I heard that this person's scheme is more vicious, and he will definitely seize such a good opportunity. ”

Listening to Hua Xiong's words, Guo Jia couldn't help but nod slightly.

"It's up to tonight."

Hua Xiong's eyes also looked across the river.

At this moment, Hua Xiong and Pang Tong looked at each other from afar.

……

In the evening.

The spies sent by Liu Feng turned back again and reported the situation of the two teams sent by Huaxiong to Pang Tong.

"Strategist, those two teams are half a day's journey away from the Huaxiong camp!

When they got the news of Hua Xiong's attack and rushed back, Hua Xiong's bones were cold! ”

Liu Feng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

But Pang Tong was not so excited, but his face was expressionless, and his eyes flashed.

"Strategist, what are you worried about?"

Liu Feng couldn't help but say,

"And this afternoon, I personally took a few spies to the rear of the Huaxiong camp."

Pang Tong hurriedly asked,

"How's it going?"

"I vouch for the head of the Xiang, Huaxiong's army is loose, and there is no defense around the camp!"

Liu Feng swore authentically.

Pang Tong knew that Liu Feng would never dare to joke about such a thing.

All kinds of circumstances are combined, Pang Tong feels that it must be Huaxiong's carelessness.

For so many years, Huaxiong has been invincible, and it is normal to be careless when the wind is smooth.

Eventually, he made up his mind.

Looking at the military generals led by Liu Feng in the tent, Pang Tong said in a deep voice,

"Pass the order, tonight people will be tied to horses and hooves and attack the Huaxiong camp!"

"Whoa!"

The generals responded in unison, their faces full of bloodthirsty expressions.

The time soon came.

The 15,000 men and horses had been put in order, and Pang Tong, dressed in armor, decided to personally lead the crossing of the river.

"When the army crosses the river at the same time, don't hesitate to attack after it passes. Do you understand? ”

Pang Tong said softly but sternly.

"Understood."

The crowd whispered.

"Let's go."

Under Pang Tong's order, the mighty army quietly left the camp and began to step on the ice.

The ice is unusually thick, but somewhat smooth.

In order to avoid making any noise, everyone walked extremely gently.

In a distance of less than two hundred steps, they actually walked a cup of tea.

Looking at the river bank close at hand, Pang Tong licked his lips, as if he saw the scene when he killed Hua Xiong.

However, at this moment, his expression was stunned.

Because on the ice not far ahead, at some point, a wooden stick appeared.

A wooden sign is fixed on the top of the stick.

Pang Tong took people closer to take a look, only to see a few words written crookedly on the wooden sign.

"Luofeng River."

There's also a line of small print underneath,

"Pang Tong died in this river."

Pang Tong "buzzed" in his head, not good!

He was just about to give the order to withdraw his troops when countless torches suddenly lit up on the other side of the river.

The bleak night was lit up all at once.

"Master Pang Tong, don't come unharmed!"

A man with a majestic figure laughed and said, it was Hua Xiong!

"Strategist, what should I do?"

Liu Feng was also stunned.

With this posture, could it be that Hua Xiong already knew that he was coming?

Pang Tong saw that Hua Xiong and the others had no intention of coming down, and hurriedly said,

"Don't panic, let's retreat!"

But when the words landed, the ice behind him suddenly "clicked" and cracked!

This was followed by a scream from several soldiers, who fell into the icy water.

Pang Tong gasped.

This...... What's going on?

It's the middle of winter, and it's the coldest midnight of the day, how can the ice break?

Before Pang Tong and the others could react, the frozen ice surface of the Zushui River began to crack one after another.

The sound of "click" and "click" is unusually harsh in the cold night sky.

"Lord, lord, the ice is really cracked!"

Zhou Cang shouted with excitement and shock.

Guo Jia, Li Ru, Jia Xu, Liao Hua and others on the side were also shocked with expressions on their faces.

"Salt and charcoal can really be used to de-ice......"

Guo Jia muttered to himself.

"Unheard of, unheard of."

Jia Xu sighed, and couldn't help but look at Hua Xiong,

"Lord, how did you find out?"

"It's just common sense in life."

Hua Xiong smiled.

Melting snow with salt and stone charcoal was an extremely common method in previous lives.

Hua Xiong handed over all the refined salt carried by the army from Tan County to Guo Jia.

Let him take advantage of the night with 5,000 men and horses to dig the ice upstream, and tilt towards the river.

Under the influence of large amounts of salt and charcoal, the originally solid ice layer became fragile.

can't bear it at all, and the weight of Pang Tong's 15,000 men and horses will naturally break apart.

In ancient times, salt was so expensive that no one was willing to use it to melt snow.

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

Although it is said that the refined salt can be mass-produced with a salt farm, the refined salt consumed for de-icing is worth at least 100,000 taels of silver!

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

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

Sure enough, Pang Tong was like a man who was carried away by desire, and he was hooked.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

When the ice breaks, it begins to collapse continuously.

Patches of ice shattered and cracked, and I don't know how many soldiers fell into the river beneath the ice.

In the middle of winter, falling into this biting river, there is only one way to die!

Pang Tong's mind was blank, and there was only one thought, "Run!" ”

He ran madly towards the south bank.

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

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

At this moment, several cannons suddenly rang out behind him!

It was Hua Xiong's crusade against Xuzhou this time, and the hundred artillery pieces he carried!

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

The already fragile ice is now completely gone.

The soldiers who had not had time to land on the shore fell into the river in one fell all their heads.

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

An icy and piercing sensation came from the lower body.

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