Before then, Gan Ning led an army of 20,000 to the bank of the Wanshui River, and there were only a dozen miles away from Wancheng.

Gan Ning straddled the pheasant horse and looked ahead with a distracted gaze: "Yang Changshi, haven't the several sentry spies sent out have come back yet?" ”

Yang Hong nodded solemnly and reminded: "Governor, the situation is not quite right." ”

Gan Ning squinted his eyes and said: "It seems that it has really been guessed by Shaolin, and the Jiangdong Army may indeed have besieged Anhui City!" ”

Along the way, Gan Ning followed Wang Chong's advice, step by step, and did not rush to march, during which several groups of sentinels were sent to reconnoiter the situation in Anhui City, but so far, not even one of the sentinels sent out has come back, although the phenomenon is strange, but the answer is not difficult to guess.

"The whole army stops advancing!" Coming to the Wanshui River, Gan Ning waved his hand and gave the order to stop the army.

Yang Hong asked puzzledly: "Governor, Anhui City is besieged, we should go to support quickly, why are we still ......?"

"Look at the river ahead!" Gan Ning raised his chin and gestured, "The weather is hot in July, and it should be normal for the water level to be low, but there was just a heavy rain with a lot of precipitation last night, don't you think that the water level in front of you is a bit shallow?" ”

Being reminded by Gan Ning like this, Yang Hong also reacted immediately, and said with palpitations: "The governor is wise, his subordinates only crossed the river with Liu Xun the day before yesterday, and the water level at that time was at least half a person deeper than now, so it seems that the Jiangdong Army obviously wants to carry out a water attack on our army!" ”

Gan Ning's keen observation made Yang Hong admire, if it wasn't for Gan Ning's early discovery, when they crossed the river, they were suddenly hit by the flood, the whole army would inevitably be in chaos, and when the Jiangdong army hidden in the shadows came out to kill for a while, the 20,000 Jinfan army, I am afraid it would disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Water attack? Let's dream of spring and autumn! Gan Ning snorted coldly and said, "Yang Changshi, you and lead three thousand soldiers to rush upstream to have a look, if you find the embankment built by the Jiangdong Army, destroy it immediately for me!" ”

"No!"

Subsequently, Yang Hong led 3,000 soldiers to quickly rush to the upper reaches of Anhui, and Gan Ning also led the Jinfan army to slowly retreat to the high slope.

"Damn! It was discovered! On the other side, Cheng Pu, who was hiding in a dense forest with 10,000 Jiangdong troops, was annoyed when he saw this, and turned his head and asked Qin Song on the side, "Wenbiao, Jinfan was not fooled, what should I do now?" ”

"It seems that this Gan Ning really has two hits!" Qin Song took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, the order given to us by the lord is that we only need to drag Gan Ning's 20,000 troops, not necessarily annihilate them, so it's much simpler." ”

Cheng Pu said: "Will the plan be settled? ”

Qin Song smiled slightly, and said confidently: "No matter whether they are successful or not, if they want to rush to Anhui City, they must always pass through the Anhui water in front of them!" ”

Cheng Pu said thoughtfully: "What does the text mean, is it to hit them halfway across the river?" ”

"Yes!" Qin Song nodded and said, "If the big water can directly wash away the bridge, then it would be better, otherwise, we will send troops to block the other side of the bridge, the shield hand will reach the enemy in front of the charge, the crossbowman will shoot at a distance in the back, the bridge in front can only allow seven or eight people to walk side by side at most, although the opponent's soldiers and horses are twice as large as ours, but in such a small environment, want to cross the bridge?" It's a fool's dream! ”

Cheng Pu was overjoyed when he heard this: "This plan is wonderful! ”

Thundered!

It didn't take long for the earth to suddenly shake violently, and the sound of thunder was like a storm rolling from far and near, under the gaze of a pair of frightened eyes, the upper reaches of the Anhui River, the majestic flood was like a huge water dragon roaring.

Obviously, the 3,000 Jinfan soldiers led by Yang Hong had successfully smashed the embankment built by the Jiangdong Army upstream.

With a 'brush', the flood instantly submerged the bridge in front of it.

However, the flood came and went quickly, and when the water stabilized, the bridge was undamaged and revealed to everyone.

"It's a pity, the time saved is too short, the impact is not enough, if there is another hour, this bridge will definitely not be saved." Qin Song sighed regretfully, and said to Cheng Pu, "Virtue and Gong, send troops!" ”

Cheng Pu nodded silently, and then waved his hand, and tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops quickly rushed out of the dense forest and went straight to the bridge.

"Not good, the enemy forces want to seize the bridge!" Gan Ning, who was on the other side of the river, quickly noticed this, and immediately his face changed, and he rode his horse down the hill and shouted, "The whole army will attack, follow me to kill the river!" ”

"Kill—"

Nearly 20,000 Jinfan soldiers followed closely and rushed to the bridge.

The bridge on the Wanshui River, which is less than 20 meters long and less than 5 meters wide, has become the focus of contention between the two armies in a blink of an eye.

Gan Ning took the lead in rushing to the front, and there were very few cavalry under his command, only dozens of horses, but so what? In this battle against time, as long as you can rush across the bridge one step ahead of the enemy, even if all the cavalry dies, there is no doubt that it is worth it, as for your own safety? Gan Ning never thought about it.

Jinfan's reaction speed is surprising, the pressure on the Jiangdong Army's side has increased suddenly, Cheng Pu is constantly urging the soldiers to move forward quickly, if you can't block the bridge before Jinfan crosses the river, who will win and who will lose in this battle is really unpredictable.

And as both sides are getting closer and closer to the bridge, the advantage of the Jiangdong army being one step ahead has gradually been demonstrated, when the Jiangdong army is only less than twenty steps away from the bridge, the Jinfan army is still fifty steps away, the only exception, I am afraid that it is Gan Ning, who is riding a green pheasant horse and riding a dustless horse.

"Kill!!"

Before the Jiangdong Army had yet to organize an effective formation, Gan Ning let out a low cry and fired three arrows, directly piercing the throats of the three Jiangdong soldiers at the front, and then replaced with a big knife and rushed to the bridge quickly.

"Quick! Shoot him with arrows, shoot him quickly!! ”

Cheng Pu hurriedly ordered, and in the next second, a dense rain of arrows shot at Gan Ning on the bridge.

Gan Ning's expression was cold, and the big knife waved like the wind, and he stubbornly blocked this wave of arrow rain.

"Die!!" Before the second wave of arrows of the Jiangdong Army hit, the pheasant horse had already turned into a streamer and rushed across the bridge, and Gan Ning's eyes burst with light, and a knife slashed several shield soldiers who were blocking in front of him.

Killing the enemy army alone, Gan Ning was not afraid, and the big knife in his hand continued to harvest the lives of Jiangdong's soldiers.

"Damn!!" Cheng Pu's face was extremely embarrassed, in order to avoid accidental injury, the crossbowmen had lost their effect, and the surrounding dense Jiangdong soldiers had no way to take the brave Gan Ning for a while.

Qin Song said with emotion: "I never thought that this Gan Ning would be so brave, no wonder at the beginning of Poyang Lake, even General Ziyi also took him!" ”

Rumble!

Under the cover of Gan Ning, dozens of Jinfan cavalry in the rear also followed closely into the enemy formation, and for a while, the formation in front of the Jiangdong Army had been completely crushed.

"Kill!!"

Next, as more and more Jinfan soldiers rushed past, the Jiangdong Army's plan to block the bridge was finally cracked......
