After the enemy's leading troops are eaten, the follow-up troops are likely to come in for reinforcements. By then, it will not be a big problem to swallow up these 100,000 troops bit by bit.

When hundreds of giant ships gathered on the river, fifty artillery pieces finally began to spit fire dragons. Every time the shells were fired, a cloud of gunpowder smoke was instantly sprayed on the river. The imperial soldiers, who had never seen modern artillery, were instantly There was chaos, and some soldiers even jumped from the boat onto the frozen river due to excessive intimidation.

"Your Highness, the effect of fifty rounds of artillery shells is comparable to that of twenty thousand people."

Huang Chao's hands were shaking with excitement. He had never thought that these artillery pieces would have such a great deterrent effect.

Among the imperial army, the vanguard general Du Lei turned pale with fright. He looked at the cannons sprayed with fire dragons on the river bank, and for a moment he didn't know what was going on.

If he was just being ambushed, he wouldn't have to panic so much, but the mysterious artillery like thunder can blow the ship to pieces in an instant. This kind of fear from the unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Seeing the people tumbling on their backs on the river, Du Lei's eyes widened for a moment, and in despair, she jumped directly towards the river.

"He is truly a loyal and righteous man."

Ning Fan was filled with emotion when he saw that the vanguard general committed suicide by diving into the water.

This is the power of orthodoxy. Not all people in the court are bad people. On the contrary, there are many people who are just loyal to their hearts. This proves the importance of being honest.

"Even if Your Highness conquers the world in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win over the hearts of these die-hards for a while."

It was the same picture, but what Huang Chao saw was completely different from that of Ning Fan.

Ning Fan saw loyalty, while Huang Chao saw trouble.

In Huang Chao's eyes, these obedient ministers will definitely be a major obstacle to Ning Fan's unification of Dakang in the future.

"The Crown Prince has been accused of so many crimes that they are too numerous to list. When the time comes, all we need to do is inform the world of the machine that mobilizes public opinion. I believe it won't take too long and the world will be at peace."

Ning Fan looked at the problem from a different perspective.

There was a battle ahead, and the two of them didn't argue about anything. They just stood on a distant mound and quietly watched the shouts and fights on the battlefield.

The blood dyed the river red, but Ning Fan was not happy at all, because this was a war within his own family, brothers were killing each other, and those who died were the children of these poor people.

If it were a war with the Huns, Ning Fan would most likely feel very happy, just like the previous war with the Jurchens, which was to resist the aliens, but now the situation is completely different.

It was originally a war that could be avoided, but now they had to fight. Ning Fan felt helpless in his heart.

"If there is a way to directly make these 100,000 troops surrender, that would be the best way."

Ning Fan sighed.

Huang Chao also nodded slightly: "If someone else comes, it may be possible to surrender, but it is impossible for Chen Congxin. This person seems to be a die-hard, with a mind as big as an elm stick. It would be impossible to get this person to surrender." It’s still difficult.”

"Then implement the decapitation tactic."

Ning Fan himself is a special forces soldier, and he is very familiar with special tactics. In this situation, the fastest way Ning Fan can think of is to behead the enemy generals.

As the saying goes, to capture a thief first, capture the king first, shoot the man first, and shoot the horse first. As long as you cover the enemy's face with his hands and kill him, then the rest will be nothing more than a mess.

"I will lead a team directly to capture Chen Congxin. You should pay attention to dividing the battlefield. Divide the entire long dragon into four or five sections, and then surround them separately. It is best to make the opponent surrender and kill as few lives as possible."

Ning Fan instructed.

“What is the beheading tactic?

When Huang Chao listened to Ning Fan muttering about the beheading tactic, his face couldn't help but show some doubts. When Ning Fan quickly explained the idea of ​​special operations to Huang Chao, Huang Chao became numb.

"Your Highness, this is too dangerous. Taking the head of an admiral among thousands of armies only exists in legends. Don't take it seriously."

Huang Chao tried his best to stop Ning Fan's next actions.

"Don't worry about this."

Ning Fan smiled mysteriously.

Even though most of the Dragon Scale Army has been transferred to Kyoto, Ning Fan still has a few trump cards in his hands, among which the Guards are Ning Fan's trump card army.

This army can be called the elite among the elite, and what they are best at is sneak attacks, assassinations, and beheadings.

For Ning Fan, it was simply a piece of cake to send a small team to enter the enemy's interior through disguise and capture the enemy's leader.

Especially in this era, tactical operations are still in an extremely small-scale state, and there is almost never any defense when carrying out such operations.

After four hours of bloody battle, the river turned red.

The vanguard army of 20,000 eventually lost 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining 15,000 soldiers and horses all surrendered.

Looking at the river surface stained red with blood, Ning Fan felt no fluctuation in his heart. He began to mobilize his Guards for the next phase of the combat mission.

"Your Highness, according to the information from the spies, Chen Congxin's traces have been locked, and the beheading operation can be carried out tonight."

Luo Yong said confidently.

"Pay attention to safety and try to capture them alive. I would like to see what this famous paper general looks like."

Ning Fan sneered.

The forward battalion lost 20,000 soldiers and horses, causing the imperial army to temporarily be stationed in an area fifty miles north of Jiangling Ferry, daring not to take an inch further.

At this time, Chen Congxin was reprimanding several generals in the Chinese army camp. The Chen family is a military family and has been serving Dakang since his ancestors. However, this time the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court , is the power that the Chen family has always held in their hands.

Chen Congxin could not accept the loss of more than 20,000 people at once, both mentally and mentally, and fell into madness for a while.

The insults lasted from dusk until late at night, and several generals returned to their tents to rest dejectedly.

Even the guards keeping watch looked downcast and listless.

At this time, a group of soldiers and horses dressed as guards quietly sneaked into the camp and obtained the password in advance. They successfully deceived several groups of guards and gradually approached Chen Congxin's camp.

When Luo Yong appeared in front of the general, the general's first reaction was not that the enemy was coming. Instead, he turned over and cursed.

"Gag his mouth."

Luo Yong was naturally not used to it.

The two guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and tightly blocked Chen Congxin's mouth with rags.

At this time, Chen Congxin realized that it was the enemy who had secretly come to the door, and he, the coach, had unknowingly become the enemy's prisoner.
