There was a battle in Central America at a banana plantation IIRC. They had blocks of ice for the fruit so they built a fortification with them .The attackers could have waited a few days for the ice to melt but they were hot headed latins so they attacked and lost !!
For serious study of ice do research on the Coast Guard's efforts to destroy ice bergs in sea lanes . They tried torpedoes, cannon and everything else they could think of with little success !
