On the banks of the Wei River.

Boss Cao, really, you have to put on a show just to cross the river.

Cao Cao stood on the north bank of the Wei River.

Sad.

Before us is a camp that is being repaired.

It was called a camp, but it was just a few mounds of earth.

Weinan is all sandy land.

The soil is loose.

Low moisture content.

In addition, the weather was freezing cold, so the soil clods couldn't be compacted at all.

The wind blew it away.

The horse trampled it, and it collapsed.

"Prime Minister!"

Cao Ren, wrapped in a fur coat, ran over.

"That won't work."

"This soil cannot stand."

"The soldiers' hands were frostbitten, but the wall still wouldn't go up."

"That mad dog Ma Chao charges every half hour."

"Without shelter, this place will become a mass grave."

Cao Cong sighed.

Looking at the opposite bank.

The bugle call of the Xiliang army sounded again.

That's a death warrant.

Ma Chao hated him to the core.

The hatred stemming from that bowl of mutton brain soup is greater than the hatred of killing one's father.

(Although in Ma Chao's eyes, this was the hatred for his father's murder.)

Cao Cao looked up at the sky.

The clouds were low, with no gaps at all.

This is a sign that heavy snow is coming.

"Is Heaven forsaken me?"

corner,

Zhao Yu squatted by the river.

He was holding a broken water ladle.

They are breaking the ice.

"Thump, thump, thump."

The sound was crisp and clear.

Cao Cao walked over.

"Zhao Yu".

Everyone is worried about how to survive.

"Are you playing on the ice here?"

Zhao Yu turned around.

"Prime Minister,"

"The earthen wall won't stand."

"Let's change the materials."

Cao Cao was taken aback.

"Change what? This is the middle of nowhere, all we see is sand and water."

Zhao Yu pointed to the ice surface below.

"Use this one."

"ice?"

Cao Cao frowned.

"Nonsense!"

"Crispy, just like anything else."

"It would break under a horse's hoof."

"Can they stop the Xiliang cavalry?"

Zhao Yu patted the ice shards off his hands.

"Pure ice, crisp."

"Sand mixed with water freezes into ice soil."

"That's a composite material, harder than stone."

Go ask people of later generations, and they will all know.

This is common sense.

Cao Cao couldn't understand.

But he understood the phrase "harder than a rock".

There's no better way anyway.

Let's try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

What if it works?

"How do I do it?"

Zhao Yu threw the water ladle away.

"Splash water."

"The entire army is mobilized."

"Transport sand and water it."

Let's do it tonight.

……

child time.

The wind picked up.

It sounded like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

The Xiliang army camp.

Ma Chao couldn't sleep at all.

The descendants are right across from us.

Whenever he closes his eyes, he sees his father, Ma Teng, swimming in the pot.

It was boiled into sheep brain soup.

"That traitor Cao!"

Ma Chao grinds his teeth.

"tomorrow."

"I'll show you what I'm made of tomorrow morning."

"I'll chop you into mincemeat!"

Cao Cao's camp.

It was a completely different scene.

No torches were lit.

However, it's not dark on snowy nights.

Tens of thousands of Cao soldiers, by the moonlight,

Doing big things quietly.

Zhao Yu stood on a high place.

Like a construction foreman.

"Be quick."

"Pile up the sand."

"No need to compact it."

"Water it directly!"

"Splash—"

Buckets of Wei River water.

It was passed to the sand wall.

Pouring cold water onto the frozen soil.

Envelop every grain of sand.

Then it freezes and becomes ice soil.

"Splash it again!"

"Don't stop!"

Zhao Yu's voice carried far in the cold wind.

The soldiers' hands were frozen stiff.

But looking at those walls that hardened rapidly, layer by layer...

My eyes widened in disbelief.

miracle.

This is a miracle.

A sand pile that could have been easily collapsed with just a few kicks.

After watering.

When you cut with a knife, it only leaves a white mark.

overnight.

Tens of thousands of people.

100,000 barrels of water.

……

The next day, at dawn.

Ma Chao got up early.

Neatly dressed.

Carrying a gun.

He brought along Pound and Ma Dai.

There are also 20,000 elite cavalry.

aggressive.

Head straight for Cao Cao's camp.

"today."

"That will be Cao Cao's death day!"

Ma Chao roared.

"Rush!"

"Raze his dog kennel to the ground!"

After they crossed the ice and reached the north bank.

Ma Chao reined in his horse.

The kind that stops suddenly.

The warhorse reared up.

I almost knocked him off.

"Whoa—!"

The cavalry behind them,

They all braked simultaneously.

The sound of horses neighing filled the air.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Everyone's mouths dropped open.

Look ahead.

My jaw dropped to the floor.

The original dilapidated earthen enclosure.

It turned into a city.

A city of ice and sand.

"this……"

Ma Chao rubbed his eyes.

"Am I not awake?"

"Is this a dream?"

Pound, standing next to him, also looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"General."

"This...this is ice?"

"Overnight?"

"Building skyscrapers from scratch?"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth.

He didn't believe it.

He didn't believe in this superstition.

How is that possible? How could such a thing happen in the world?

"Playing tricks!"

"It must be an illusion!"

"It must be a smokescreen!"

"An illusion!"

"Cao Cao is a treacherous villain!"

"Pour it on!"

"Smash it!"

The bugle sounded.

The Xiliang cavalry was mobilized once again.

this time,

With doubts.

It also carried anger.

It is 500 paces from the city wall.

Three hundred steps.

One hundred steps.

Cao Cao stood on the city wall.

The red robe he had previously thrown away has been retrieved.

He put it on again.

His beard swayed stylishly in the wind.

He looked down at the densely packed cavalry below.

The horse was also very capable.

"Zhao Yu".

"Do you think they can climb up here?"

Zhao Yu was eating a piece of frozen mutton.

"climb?"

"If they can hold their ground, then they've lost."

Zhao Yu had designed it specifically when building the wall.

When splashing water.

It flows outwards along the base of the wall.

It formed a huge gentle slope.

It was all ice.

climb?

Without a foothold, how are you going to climb?

Even if you carve out a few footholds with a chisel,

But the cost of that would be enormous.

Cao Bing isn't a football fan, is he?

Unaware of the attack.

Ma Chao took the lead, urging his horse forward.

They rushed to the base of the city wall.

Ma Chao was furious.

He raised his gun and thrust.

"Break it!"

"when--!"

The tip of the gun struck the ice wall.

It pierced through.

Only a small part of it went in.

The ice was too hard.

Frozen soil plus ice.

Even more deadly is...

The walls were also slippery.

The gun went in, but Marco suffered terribly.

The front hooves are still on the ice wall.

It tilted directly to the side.

"Damn it!"

"This wall is slippery!"

Cao Cao was amused by what he saw from above.

I'm so happy!

Although yesterday was a bit of a mess for you.

But it doesn't matter.

Why should I care about my past self when I'm here today?

I've never fought such a lucrative battle in my entire life.

No need to fire arrows.

No need for logs or boulders.

They could only watch helplessly as the other side struggled to get up.

Cao Cao cleared his throat.

We decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Horse!"

Cao Cao shouted to those below,

"Did you see that?"

"This is the will of Heaven!"

"Last night I observed the celestial phenomena alone."

"Grateful for the suffering of the people."

"We have specially invited Wu Gang from the Moon Palace to descend to the mortal realm."

"This ice city was built overnight!"

"Your dad has gained several pounds in Xuchang."

"He told me to tell you."

"Go home and have some soup! Stop hitting me!"

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.

Ma Chao heard it.

He heard "Ma Teng".

I heard the word "soup".

He looked at that eerily beautiful ice city.

And then there's Cao Cao's smug face.

That's not a city.

That's a ritual implement.

It must have been summoned by Cao Cao using evil magic.

"witchcraft……"

"It really is sorcery."

"How could a normal person build a city overnight?"

"How could a normal person turn soil into jade?"

"You traitor Cao! You old monster!"

"You boiled my father and sacrificed him to the heavens!"

"That's how we got this ice city!"
