The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

It seems that's really the case!

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it.

If our side truly holds such a significant advantage, it's possible that morale could collapse entirely if we manage to withstand just one or two rounds of attacks!

Even if the forces are evenly matched, problems may arise if one's own casualties exceed expectations!

"If they were fully armed, they might actually have a chance, but these three thousand men can't even muster ten complete sets of armor, and their weapons are of extremely poor quality... this..."

After listening to the analyses of Xiang Yu and Li Er, two military strategists who had reached the pinnacle of their abilities, Zhao Kuangyin roughly understood where Bai Qi's chances of victory lay.

The problem is, he can't figure out how he can achieve this condition with just three thousand chickens and dogs.

Just as he was about to ask something else, the scene on the screen showed the Mongol cavalry approaching the foot of the mountain amidst the mud and torrential rain.

It's clear that the worst-case scenario did not occur.

Among the 20,000 troops of the Mongol Yuan dynasty, there were no heavy cavalry or heavily armored infantry.

After learning detailed intelligence about the enemy, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

If the enemy has heavy armor, even if there are only a few hundred, they are definitely not something that their mere three thousand men can withstand.

Fortunately, he won this first gamble.

Outside the sky, countless people watched as Bai Qi rapidly mobilized his troops.

Instead of rushing to send troops to meet the enemy, he sent out most of his men to dig pits on the plains in the pouring rain, while he himself led about eight hundred elite soldiers armed with swords to ambush on the mountain, ready to strike.

This decision is something most people can understand.

The Mongol Yuan dynasty was mostly composed of cavalry, and mountainous terrain was inherently unfavorable for cavalry charges.

By simply digging pits everywhere in the surrounding plains to protect against cavalry, one of the Mongol army's arms could be completely crippled.

But this timing has left many people wondering: if you're going to dig a hole, why didn't you do it sooner?

The Mongol army is now right in front of them, and they haven't even made any preparations to set up camp.

When everyone is ready to charge, sending someone with hoes to dig a pit is no different from feeding meat to the enemy.

Is the mighty butcher Bai Qi doing charity work in this challenge?

Does he know what he's doing?

"Or is he naively believing that the Yuan court's 20,000 troops will cautiously set up camp and slowly gather intelligence when facing these worthless fry?"

Zhu Di's face was filled with disbelief.

He had expected Bai Qi to once again demonstrate his classic ability to win with fewer troops, but this was the unexpected outcome.

This truly disappointed him.

"No, I think his move was a stroke of genius!"

Li Er narrowed his eyes slightly; he seemed to understand what Bai Qi was planning to do.

The more than two thousand men sent down the mountain to dig pits were indeed easy prey for the Mongol cavalry, but this prey was poisoned!

If the Yuan Ting commander-in-chief really launches an attack without sending anyone to investigate, then this piece of fat meat could very well lead to his demise!

"Can……"

The second person to see through Bai Qi's plan was Liu Bang.

However, he noticed it and found it hard to believe.

"But in this way, regardless of whether Bai Qi succeeds or fails, these two thousand people will face a near-certain death!"

This is not about inflicting heavy losses on both sides, but rather sacrificing two thousand of our own troops to gain an opportunity to strike at the heart of the enemy's stronghold.

"Bai Qi's arrangement is a foolish move, doomed to defeat. How could it possibly succeed?"

Sun Quan, still unwilling to give up, said again.

"If you're stupid, don't rush to question it. Just shut up and watch."

Cao Cao said irritably.

"That traitor Cao..."

Sun Quan gritted his teeth.

"Can you figure out what Bai Qi is going to do?"

"can not tell."

"Then what makes you call me stupid?!"

"I don't understand it, so I choose to believe you first. Is there a problem with calling you stupid?"

"..."

Seeing the two arguing on the sky, Liu Bei did not get involved.

Beside him, Zhuge Liang also had a furrowed brow.

"Kongming, can you figure out what Bai Qi is really trying to do?"

"From Emperor Gaozu's words, we can roughly guess that he wanted to use these two thousand men as bait in exchange for an opportunity to strike at the heart of the enemy."

"That's a bit...too difficult."

Clearly, most people are not optimistic about Bai Qi's decision.

Only Xiang Yu's eyes revealed deep admiration.

"I never expected that the Qin Dynasty would have such a top-notch general. Although this move is risky, if it succeeds, it will indeed maximize our chances of victory!"

Originally, they estimated that Bai Qi had at most a 30% to 40% chance of winning.

These two thousand men could be used as bait. If he could lure the Yuan cavalry out, he could lead his army straight to the enemy's capital, and the odds of victory for both sides could be forcibly brought to a 50/50.

Some people questioned it, some believed it, and some admired it.

Bai Qi, who is in the scene, cannot see the discussion among these people.

He could only look at the eight hundred unarmored men in front of him.

Gathering eight hundred weapons is already the limit.

It wasn't that he wanted to abandon those two thousand men, but rather that they didn't have enough weapons, and they could only be of maximum use as bait!

Do you think we're doomed?

Seeing their low morale, Bai Qi asked calmly.

Before he finished speaking, people nodded in agreement.

Of course they're doomed.

The reason they are still here and haven't sneaked away is simply because Bai Qi has given them food, dignity, and allowed them to live like human beings for so long!

The most righteous are often the lowly butchers. These people may not have been well-educated, but they know that Bai Qi was good to them.

Faced with the Mongol Yuan's encirclement and suppression, even knowing they would die, no one was willing to back down.

Seeing the determination and resolve in these people's eyes, Bai Qi suddenly smiled.

"Is it a difference in numbers or a difference in equipment?"

"Or maybe..."

He looked down at the only piece of armor he was wearing on his upper body.

"this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw envy in the eyes of many people.

On the battlefield, such armor can truly give people a great sense of security.

"Just because you don't have this, you think you're no match for them, that you'll die?"

Catching the envy in their eyes, Bai Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

No one answered his question, but the answer was already revealed in their eyes.

They all longed to have such a suit of armor.

To everyone's surprise, Bai Qi raised his hand and peeled off his armor, then casually tossed it aside.

"Today, I, your commander, will show you that even without armor, I can still lead you to victory against the enemy!"

"Even without armor, I can still lead the charge and slay enemy generals!"

"Do you mean you have no clothes?"

"We are comrades in arms!"

At that moment, everyone outside the sky saw that the eyes of the eight hundred people in front of Bai Qi were filled with something called fighting spirit.

How can you say we have no clothes? We share the same robes with you!

The king has raised an army; let us prepare our spears and shields, and fight together against this common enemy!

From a distance, down the mountain, the Mongol commander-in-chief saw more than two thousand people digging a pit.

As he grinned and dispatched almost all of his cavalry, ready to easily devour this piece of fat meat.

The ferocious beasts that had been preparing in the mountains for a long time bared their fangs.
