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

While Dorgon was busy consolidating his troops and ordering the pursuit and encirclement of Liu Bang's army, he suddenly felt a chill creeping over him for some reason.

It was as if something had targeted their vital point.

This sudden intuition made him very uncomfortable.

Shouldn't it be that the attacking troops were too scattered and thus got into trouble?

The first wave of attacks by the raiding battalion did indeed cause considerable trouble.

Some of the troops had even begun to flee.

But in any case, the overall situation is still under his control.

The scattered personal guards have begun to gradually regroup, and the troops at their disposal have ignored the dozens of decoys and are heading directly toward the main force of the enemy attack.

Logically speaking, it would be wrong to stop because of these baits.

"General, those two armies are about to merge again!"

Before Dorgon could even think, someone reminded him.

From their high vantage point, they could clearly see two cavalry forces rapidly approaching amidst the continuous flames.

If these two forces were to break through the camp again, morale would collapse completely in an instant.

By then, let alone besieging them or turning back to attack Shanhaiguan, their routed army will likely be gradually divided and devoured.

Dorgon knew perfectly well how powerful the enemy commander he was facing was.

If we don't give him a chance, fine, but if we really give him such a perfect opportunity, our side will probably never be able to hold its head up again.

"Issue the order: launch a full-scale encirclement and annihilation operation!"

"If these two armies are allowed to join forces, all soldiers who fail to stop them will be executed, and their families will be reduced to slavery!"

There was no time to think further, and there wasn't even a chance for their gaze to linger on those dozens of baits for even a moment.

He truly couldn't understand how such an elite force could suddenly emerge from the decadent Ming Dynasty.

The commander's troop deployment was flawless.

The general was incredibly brave and unparalleled; almost no one could stop him on the front lines.

The hundreds of men who attacked the camp earlier were all fearless, as if they were destined to die there.

He even witnessed someone setting themselves on fire and rushing towards the granary.

If the Ming Dynasty had truly possessed such a formidable and invincible army, how could it have repeatedly breached the Great Wall?

How could Li Zicheng have penetrated into the heart of Beijing and allowed the rebel army to run rampant?

joke!

If Li Zicheng's army could match such elite troops, would he still dare to enter the pass?

They wouldn't even have time to kneel and submit!

So here's the question: if these troops that appeared out of nowhere weren't the Ming army, why would they fight them to the death?

Don't they think about themselves at all?

With these troops, as long as they don't fight the Qing Dynasty to the death here, they might even have a chance to conquer the world!

But for now, all the questions can only be swallowed down.

The primary task is to prevent the two attacking forces from reuniting.

"Furthermore, pass down the order: for every enemy killed, ten slaves will be rewarded!"

"Defeat the enemy before us, and from now on, the Central Plains will become our horse ranch!"

"You may rob and kill anyone within your sight!"

"After this battle, everyone will be rewarded according to their contributions!"

With both the stick and the carrot raised simultaneously, the Manchu army was forced to fight back fiercely.

Those who fail to stop them will be killed, and their families will also be implicated.

On the contrary, as long as they can win this battle and annihilate these two surprise attacking forces, the entire Central Plains will open its arms to them!

From now on, whatever they want, this Central Plains can satisfy it.

Money, food, slaves, women, and so on—almost everything imaginable was available!

Where to go from here seems self-evident.

As the flames continued to spread, Liu Bang began to feel that things were becoming more difficult.

The charging horses had long been halted, compounded by the extremely high temperature and choking smoke, and the enemies surging in from all directions like a tidal wave.

Three thousand elite cavalrymen would be a force to be reckoned with in an ordinary place.

But now, surrounded by enemy forces, even the horse is becoming a burden.

"King Han, I'll go first!"

"Your Majesty, hurry! We will cover your retreat!"

"Damn it, these guys are endless! Let's fight them!"

"No, the smoke is too thick, we can't see the road. You protect His Majesty and help him break through, I'm not going!"

The surroundings were incredibly noisy, and many people had already given up on the idea of ​​breaking through.

The raging fire not only disrupted the enemy forces but also caused them great trouble.

I couldn't see the road clearly, I kept coughing, and my vision was gradually blurring.

"Shut up, all of you!"

"Now that I've brought you out, I naturally have a way to bring you back alive!"

"Stop doing your self-indulgent nonsense and keep up with your father. Anyone who falls behind will be held accountable when we get back!"

At that moment, Liu Bang knew he absolutely could not act rashly.

We must also never encourage this trend of leaving behind those who are left to die.

He knew very well the loyalty of these people to him, and the fierceness of Xiang Yu's Jiangdong soldiers.

If we really just let them do as they please, then let them leave in batches to cover the retreat.

Liu Bang was certain that he would be able to break through the encirclement, but at that time, he would probably be all alone again!

"We can't break through, Your Majesty. There are too many enemies, and the thick smoke is too blinding. We can't even open our eyes."

"Even the horses can't run, and we're surrounded by enemies. King Han, if you continue to be so soft-hearted, I'm afraid not a single person will escape!"

Seeing the troubled expressions on the faces of those around him, Liu Bang felt somewhat powerless.

These were all seasoned soldiers who had fought alongside them in their quest for supremacy; their judgment of the battle situation was no less than that of ordinary generals.

Their view at least implies that the hope of breaking through is slim.

"Since we can't break through and the horses can't run, let's defend where we are!"

"Leave some men to delay the enemy's advance, and the rest of you, together with Nai Gong, cut down all the trees around us!"

With thick smoke billowing around, it was indeed difficult to discern directions.

Blindly trying to break through will most likely result in going in circles.

The current arrangements he has made are the best option.

"Defend where you are? That's a dead end, King Han, are you insane!?"

The Han army worked diligently, but the Chu army couldn't help but question it.

"Don't forget, besides Nai Gong and Xiang Ji, Han Xin is also involved in this battle."

"I refuse to believe that he would dare abandon me and not come to my rescue!"

No matter what, he couldn't abandon the people around him!

……

"His Majesty is still as willful as ever."

"How can we stop here? Regardless of whether our troops can provide reinforcements, this is a foolish move."

"Cutting down trees will not only hinder the enemy's advance, but also block your own path to survival."

Han Xin, like Dorgon, stood at the highest point, taking in the entire battle situation below.

He was quite helpless about Liu Bang's decision.

"To save or not to save?"
