    The south bank of the river suddenly fell into deathly silence.

    Jiangdong¡¯s officers and men all became depressed and depressed. Even the dullest person could not understand how dangerous the situation became after the sudden change.

    "What a move to attack from three sides!" Sun Ce stopped, his eyes flashed with cold light, and his body's murderous aura surged.

    He is already very familiar with the enemies coming from the east. Ever since he went north, the one who has been entangled with Jiangdong soldiers and horses is Zhang Liao, the Yi division general.  This is a very cunning enemy. If it weren't for this person, Jiangdong's army would have been able to force the crossing at least seven or eight days earlier.

    "If it were a head-on confrontation, with the combined combat power of Jiangdong Army and Xia Houyuan's tribe, no matter how powerful the enemy was, they would only be defeated.  But the other party also knows this, and has been avoiding the truth. It just harasses and restrains them repeatedly, and has no intention of fighting to the death.

    Now, the cunning enemy has finally appeared with great fanfare. Needless to say, he is definitely sure of victory.

    The surprise of the surprise attack alone is not enough to threaten the safety of the 30,000 Jiangdong disciples. Zhang Liao's confidence should come from the navy flowing down the river!

    Although Jiangdong's army was good at water warfare, they came from a long distance after all and there were not enough ferries in the army.  The Qingzhou Army was also on tight guard and collected all the merchant ships and fishing boats along the river early, forcing the Jiangdong Army to give up its naval advantage and build a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

    It now seems that the other party¡¯s purpose of seizing the ships along the river is not just to cause trouble for the Jiangdong Army, but now this surprise attack is the ultimate goal!

    "As long as the pontoon bridge is destroyed, it will be like a knife in the middle, cutting Jiangdong's army into two parts that cannot be connected from head to tail.  Without backup, the soldiers and horses that have crossed the river will be completely trapped in the Qingzhou Army's human sea tactics and be overwhelmed during the siege; the rear troops who are attacked are also in danger, and even if they have the ability to repel the enemy, they will not be able to escape.  hand to reinforce Pao Ze on the other side.

    This move is accurate and ruthless, hitting the Jiangdong Army's vital point!

    "Besides Jia Wenhe, Kong Ming, and Pang Shiyuan, is there anyone like this in Qingzhou?" Looking at the fleet of ships rushing toward the pontoon like an arrow from a bowstring, Sun Ce was unfazed and held up his halberd.  Standing proudly on the bridge, he is as powerful as a god descending from earth.

    "Who is it? Chen Dao? No, it's impossible. Whether it's Liu Xuande's personal description or the intelligence he got, he is a man of few words and a cautious person. There are ways to train troops, but it's hard to imagine him.  Would he come up with such a sinister plan? Wang Mo? Huh, a Wang Pengju came out of the Wang family in Taishan, and he has exhausted the blessings of his ancestors. If he had such talent, wouldn't he stand out early? If it were said to be Zhang Wenyuan's remote control command.  It¡¯s inevitable¡­¡±

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

    "I obey the orders!" Although the situation was critical at this moment, with Sun Ce as the backbone, and still on the outermost side, standing proudly on the bridge facing the enemy navy, Jiangdong Army could still keep calm and did not panic.  And fell into chaos.  Hearing Sun Ce's order, the ordering soldiers also stepped forward with dignity.

    "Send the order. Everyone on this bridge stops and prepares to fight. People on the other two bridges speed up to pass the pontoon bridge. Others stop crossing the river Tell Yi Gong to postpone his advance and seek stability first!  "

    "Here!"

    "The rear army is dominated by Xiu Mu, supplemented by Xuande and others. We don't ask for any meritorious service to retreat the enemy, we just need to stabilize our position!"

    "Here!" The second messenger was stunned for a moment, and then he agreed and left.

    It¡¯s not surprising that he was surprised. Sun Ce¡¯s orders to both the front and rear armies were to seek stability.  The enemy's navy is already a big trouble. I don't know how many backup plans the navy has in the future. Even if Generals Zhu and Han execute the orders perfectly, they may not be able to reverse the situation, right?

    Finally, he knew that the situation was urgent and could not tolerate any delay, but he did not bother with it.  Looking at the crowds of people behind me, I knew I couldn't squeeze through, so I simply took off my clothes and jumped into the water. Taking advantage of the good water quality, I wanted to swim along the pontoon to the south bank.

    He had just entered the water when he heard Sun Ce suddenly shouting from above: "Raise the rope!"

    This messenger was quite surprised. His body stiffened and he swallowed a mouthful of river water. When he came to his senses, his mouth was filled with a bitter taste.  But he couldn't care about this, because just a dozen steps away from him, the river suddenly surged up without warning. It looked like the scene of some kind of water monster appearing in the legend of Zhimei.

    The next moment, he finally saw clearly what was going on, and his heart suddenly felt ecstatic.

    What is floating out of the water is a thick iron chain!  The iron chain was as thick as a child's arm. It was dark and looming in the turbid river water. No wonder it looked like a monster.

    In water warfare, iron cables are often used across the river, which can be used both for defense and for blockade and siege.  JumpAlthough Shui had a lower military rank, he was quite knowledgeable. He quickly realized that the battle situation had taken another turn.

    "Obviously, the lord was prepared for the enemy navy's surprise attack, so he took countermeasures in advance and hid an iron rope in the river very covertly.  If this iron rope had been revealed earlier, the crossing of the river might have been faster, but now that it was revealed, the enemy could be caught off guard.

    Of course, the enemy came well prepared, and the ships they used were not ordinary stern ships, but ships that had been improved to facilitate collisions.  Looking at the draft, it can be inferred that there are heavy objects piled in the cabin, and the force of the collision will be very strong. Even an iron cable as thick as an arm may not be able to block the successive collisions.

    The Lord ordered the troops on both sides of the strait to focus on stability, because he wanted to take advantage of the enemy navy being blocked by the iron rope and slowing down, and lead the dead soldiers to board the ship to counterattack!

    As long as we can annihilate the enemy navy and seize some ships, it doesn't matter even if the pontoon bridge is broken.  This is the true purpose of the Lord!

    "Brothers, prepare to seize the ship with me and fight to the death!" Sun Ce's roar came again amid the sound of rushing water.

    "I am willing to fight to the death with my lord!" Seeing the appearance of the iron rope, the morale of Jiangdong's army on the bridge skyrocketed. They instantly understood Sun Ce's intention, turned around and shouted, aiming their weapons at the rushing enemy ship.

    ¡­¡­

    "This is bad!" All the pride on Pei Yuanshao's face disappeared, replaced by a pale look.

    This carefully designed raid was about to be blocked by an iron cable. Even if we tried to sink some ships to destroy the iron cable, it would be difficult to continue to destroy the three pontoons.

    Because they want to rescue Nan, Zhang Liao's army will not have too many troops to return. If they cannot destroy the pontoon bridge, they will not be able to deal a major blow to Jiangdong's army, leaving them no room for maneuver.  Thus.  Wouldn't it be a waste of effort and even reversed by the enemy?

    "What's so bad?" Gan Ning folded his arms in front of his chest, leaned against the mast, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Old Pei, I'm not telling you, you are good at everything, you just like to be surprised too much  At first glance. Isn't it just a chain? Are you so hysterical? Look, your face is pale."

    "Hey, Xingba, how long has this been? Do you still have the intention to cancel me, my old brother?" Pei Yuanshao stamped his feet anxiously: "If the ship is blocked, something serious will happen. Otherwise, let's dock first, anyway.  It would be a good idea to take away the iron rope and clear the way for the following troops."

    ¡°That¡¯s what he said, but he himself knew that this idea was unreliable.  The fleet rushed down smoothly, faster than galloping horses, fearing that the impact would not be enough.  How can you stop just by saying stop?  Even if they can reach the shore smoothly, how can Jiangdong Army easily let people go to rescue them?  But after much thought, he had no other choice but to treat the situation like a dead horse.

    "No need." Seeing that the bow of the ship was less than a hundred steps away from the iron cable, Gan Ning finally stood up straight, his eyes still slightly squinted, but his majestic body was already standing upright, and an intimidating momentum emerged spontaneously.

    He waved his hand.  He walked towards the bow of the ship. After walking a few steps, he seemed to think of something again and turned to Pei Yuanshao and asked, "By the way, Lao Pei, I can lend you a knife."

    "Why are you borrowing the knife?" Pei Yuanshao had no idea what Gan Ning was going to do, and he just felt that the other party was moving his hands and feet.  There was a force that made people have to obey, so he untied the machete from behind and handed it over in a daze.

    "Well, not bad, it's substantial." Gan Ning took the knife in his hand.  He weighed it, waved it twice, and showed a satisfied look.

    Seeing Gan Ning walking towards the bow of the ship with the sword on his shoulder, Pei Yuanshao suddenly had a thought in his mind and lost his voice: "Xingba, do you want to"

    While speaking, Gan Ning had already stepped onto the bow of the boat. Hearing Pei Yuanshao's question, he didn't even look back and said lightly: "Yes, I just want to cut off this broken chain!"

    "" Upon hearing this impressive answer, Pei Yuanshao almost sat down on the deck and cut off the iron rope?  Is that something humans can do?  That is an iron chain made of fine iron, as thick as a child's arm. Even if a blacksmith smashes it with a hammer, it will take a long time, right?  How can it be cut off with just a knife?

    But it was too late for him to say anything more. At this moment, the bow of the boat was only about seven feet away from the iron cable blocking the river. It was only a blink of an eye, and the situation on the pontoon more than ten feet away was clearly visible.

    The Jiangdong Army on the bridge has entered combat mode, ready to fight.

    What is even more heart-stopping is the majestic mountain-like figure standing in the middle of thousands of people.  Pei Yuanshao had heard of Sun Ce's reputation and knew that he was also known as the overlord in Jiangdong. He was one of the few heroes in the world who could be compared with his lord.

    The most terrifying thing was the iron rope as thick as a child's arm. Pei Yuanshao's scalp went numb when he saw it, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if Gan Ning missed it.?The dire consequences of a ship hitting a cable.

    Gan Ning was the only one who remained calm as usual, seemingly not thinking of the possibility of missing a beat.

    Five feet, four feet, three feet

    Gan Ning¡¯s clothes and armor were fluttering in the river wind, making hunting noises.

    Sun Ce, who was standing at the bridge opposite, seemed to be aware of Gan Ning's purpose. His eyes were shining with a sense of solemnity.

    He didn¡¯t really believe that anyone could cut off the rope with a single sword. Although Qingzhou was full of fierce generals, the people who could possibly do this were not in Gaotang.

    Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind, which frightened him. In a flash of thought, Sun Ce raised his hand to grab the carved bow behind his back, and shouted: "Fire the arrow! Stop him"

    Five steps!

    Gan Ning shouted wildly, rose into the sky, and threw himself towards the iron rope.

    This unexpected move shocked even the Jiangdong Army, which was aroused to fight to the death. Everyone stared in silence, almost forgetting the order given by Sun Ce.

    As soon as Sun Ce's hand touched the bow, Gan Ning had already jumped the last five steps. The machete on his shoulder suddenly jumped up, turned into a sharp light, and slashed down the iron rope below.

    "when!"

    Under the gaze of millions of people, the thunderous blade struck the iron rope like a bolt of lightning.

    The iron rope, which was as thick as an arm, seemed completely unaffected by the knife's blow, but suddenly broke apart and fell into the turbid waves.

    Pei Yuanshao shouted wildly: "Kill!"

    "Kill!" The morale of the Qingzhou Navy was greatly boosted and they moved forward bravely.

    The galloping ship rushed past the place where the iron cable blocked the river just now, and rushed towards the pontoon bridge.

    "Kill!" Sun Ce threw the curved bow in his hand at Gan Ning as a weapon, then jumped up and pounced on the enemy ship like an angry roc.
