Third spearman from the left

Ok so this topic is all about crossing rivers in BI.
In my current Sassanid Empire game (my first in BI, on VH/H) I've been defending a couple of bridges and forgot that some units can now swim across rivers, which caught me off guard. :shame:
So one thing that I didn't work out was how to make a unit (horse archers in my case) cross the river via the bridge and not the water.
Towards the end of a battle I wanted them to chase down routers, but they would only cross via the water. Even when I lined them up right in front of the bridge. Could it be the dead bodies blocking the path on the bridge or just a random thing that happens now and again?
Any tips or funny stories welcome on this :clown:
