In the afternoon of the next day, the Yellow Shooting Army had already reached the Nameless River.

"According to the intelligence, Han Dangjun's army is still nearly fifty miles away from here, and I think they should arrive early tomorrow morning." Huang Shotdao.

"When the time comes, when more than half of the enemy army attacks, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army." Gan Ning offered advice.

"What Captain Gan said is very true. More than half of the enemy attack will definitely catch the enemy by surprise, and the enemy will not expect us to be so fast. Huang Jie laughed.

"Hong has a strategy, I wonder if the adults are willing to listen?" Ma Hong asked.

"Please." Huang Jie is in a good mood.

"If the enemy hits him more than halfway, he can deal a heavy blow to the enemy, but I think if you flank the enemy from both sides at the same time, it will definitely collapse the enemy army." Ma Hong Road.

"Do you mean that we divide our forces, with half of the army stationed on the opposite bank and the other half here, and when the enemy crosses the river, attack at the same time? It's a brilliant plan. Huang said.

"But we don't have enough boats, and if we go to prepare them, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. The boats of the nearby fishermen were too small to carry many soldiers. Gan Ning said.

"Only ten small boats are needed to carry armor and weapons, and all the soldiers can swim across the river, and most of the soldiers of our Jingzhou army are men who are accustomed to water. It's summer now, and besides, the river is not in a hurry, it's only two miles. Ma Hong smiled.

"Good." Huang Jie laughed.

"Then please choose a thousand soldiers with good water quality in the army and divide them with me and Captain Gan, and we will cross the river and ambush on the mountain across the river to wait for Han Dang's army to arrive!" Ma Hong Road.

By noon, Ma Hong and Gan Ning had crossed the Nameless River with 1,500 soldiers.

"Scuttle the ships, leaving only two for the sergeants to carry to the mountains." Ma Hong Road.

"Are you a wreck?" Gan Ning gave a thumbs up.

"If we leave traces of Han Dang's crossing of the river, he will definitely be suspicious first, and if we are besieged on the mountain first, it will be over. Move quickly, don't drag your feet and don't get spotted by enemy spies. Ma Hong said.

"You want to boost morale and wipe out the enemy, don't you?" Gan Ning asked.

Ma Hong smiled and did not speak.

Two more days passed, and at noon the next day, Gan Ning, who was sitting under the tree enjoying the shade, suddenly said, "Boy, have you thought of that?" ”

"Which point?" Ma Hong turned around and asked.

"If Han Dang arrives at the river and does not cross the river, and stays by the river for a period of time, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops, we will be in danger, we will not have much military rations, and we will be trapped here at that time." Gan Ning said.

Ma Hong said: "He can arrive here at noon tomorrow, even if he wants to set up camp, he will wait until he crosses the river before camping, a qualified general will not waste so much time." ”

"Aren't you afraid that Han Dang will block the advance of our army by this river? If you attack on one side, you can at most push the enemy back and not annihilate the enemy, and your strategy is vicious so that the enemy army cannot advance or retreat, but the dangerous move also requires risk, and the risk of your move is to gamble, bet on Han to cross the river. ”

"What if I lose my bet?" Ma Hong asked.

"When the time comes, how about we lead the army to surrender to Sun Ce?" Gan Ning asked rhetorically.

Ning had long had a dissatisfied attitude towards Huang Zu, and it was also a good place for him to go to Sun Ce, there was no need for him to work hard for a boss who didn't appreciate him.

"Surrender in battle, which lord is willing to accept such a general? Besides, he is still a brocade thief who is not very famous. Ma Hong looked directly into Gan Ning's eyes, he dared to let Gan Ning come, he knew that Gan Ning would never surrender, even if he wanted to surrender Sun Ce, he would take away his brothers and family members.

"Then we'll see! Let's see if that Han Dang will be what you say. A chuckle tugged at Ganning's wild face.

In the afternoon of the next day, the troops led by Han Dang had arrived at the bank of the Nameless River one after another.

"Order, rest a little, and cross the river in half an hour." Han Dang said to the soldier beside him.

"Why are you so anxious?" Lu Fan said.

"We have been delayed too much time on the road, and the lord will take Jiangxia directly after Liu Xun is killed, and we can't be the slightest bit lazy, as soon as possible, the main road is open." Han Dang stroked his beard and replied, after which he jumped off the horse and walked to the river to wash his face with water.

"The lord has made a pocket waiting for Huang Zu to drill, we are the bottom of the pocket, if it is broken, it will affect the overall situation." Lu Fan led the horse to the river and fed the horse water.

The sunlight reflected from the water pierced the horse's eyes, and the horse snorted and shook the water on his mouth and splashed Han Dang's face. Han Dang smiled and washed his face, sat on the ground by the river, and said leisurely after a while: "You still don't know the lord, the lord's pocket will definitely not have only one layer." ”

Lu Fan was stunned and did not answer, and when the horse was full of water, he led the horse away.

There are twenty boats, each boat can carry thirty people, and the army can cross the river in five batches, and now that Han Dang has led half of the soldiers across the nameless river, Lu Fan's heart is slightly relieved. But at this moment, a drum suddenly sounded, followed by a shout, and countless Jingzhou soldiers poured into Han Dangbu from the other side of the riverbank.

Lu Fan was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: The enemy army has already been ambushed on the other side of the river, and Han Dang must be in danger. Lu Fan quickly thought about whether to send the whole army to cross the river bank and fight the enemy or send a few boats to rescue Han Dang, it was obviously not wise to fight with the enemy in the current situation, but if he only sent a few ships to save Han Dang, he would have to leave half of the soldiers.

Before Lu Fan could figure it out, the soldiers were in a commotion again, and bursts of shouts came from behind, and when Lu Fan heard the sound, he saw a large group of Jingzhou soldiers attacking them behind him. I saw the young general in a red robe at the head wearing a red brocade belt. Under the crotch is a red horse, the horse runs without splashing soil, and the red-robed general holds a longbow in his hand, and two arrows in one hand, and the arrow does not miss. When the red-robed general shot the tenth arrow, the battle flag fell to the ground.

Lu Fan turned over on his horse, and only got on the horse after he flipped twice due to excessive nervousness, and when he got on the horse, the Jingzhou soldiers led by Gan Ning were already less than five hundred meters away.

"All the soldiers obeyed the order and prepared for battle, the pikemen lined up, and the archers laid behind." Lu Fan ordered, but the soldiers under his command were caught off guard by this sudden attack, and the soldiers panicked, and by the time the formation was roughly arranged, the Jingzhou soldiers had already charged to a distance of only twenty meters.

"Arrows, arrows." Lu Fan shouted.

Scattered bows and arrows went out, and the two armies had collided together.

For a while, the screams were repeated, the sound of the spear breaking through the bones, the sound of the rain of arrows hitting the body, the shouts and cries of the soldiers made Ma Hong stunned, and half of the palm that flew from nowhere hit Ma Hong's head, and Ma Hong still watched the battle behind the battle with a broken sword. Gan Ning slaughtered all the way, spears came, death was everywhere, and the floating intestines were wrapped around Gan Ning's neck, and blood stained his face. Ma Hong looked at Gan Ning's heroic appearance, and secretly said in his heart: Such a fierce general, he must be brought over. I wish I had a bodyguard like this.

"Protect the Division." Centurion Zhang Erjin grabbed Ma Hong's reins with one hand and slashed off the heads of the enemy soldiers who rushed under the horse with the other.

The battle lasted for nearly two hours, and Ma Hong rode on horseback and watched as more and more corpses fell to the ground. The ground was littered with broken corpses, twisted soldiers entangled, their intestines entangled, their hands gripping their spears tightly, even though their hands were no longer on their bodies, but their hands were still on them.

"Boy, dismount." Gan Ning stretched out his hand and patted Ma Hong's horse, leaving a little blood on Ma Hong's war horse fur.

Ma Hong stepped on the stirrup and got off the horse, Gan Ning noticed the double stirrups on Ma Hong's war horse this time [the Han Dynasty was mostly a single stirrup], and said secretly in his heart: This kid didn't vomit when he saw this scene, he didn't have fear, it seems that he has seen this kind of scene.

Ma Hong's war horse was still stepping on the corpse of the enemy, and there were corpses everywhere around the horse, and Ma Hong stepped on the corpse of the enemy and walked towards the river.
