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

"This is a full army of 100,000, besieging and annihilating a mere 10,000 Tartars, many of whom are even surrendered generals of my Great Shun!"

"Even 100,000 pigs couldn't have fought like this!"

"I want to see the battle report, the detailed battle report, to see exactly how we were defeated!"

"Li Yan, after you arrived, how did you give orders? What did you say to them? Tell them everything truthfully. If you dare to conceal anything again, I will skin you alive!"

Li Zicheng's furious appearance made Li Yan not even dare to look him in the eye.

He just kept kowtowing, not daring to say another word.

The more he said, the more mistakes he made. Although he was foolish, he had already realized the real reason for this defeat.

The promises he made to those generals were so outlandish that they racked their brains to compete for the top credit.

The repeated feints exhausted the soldiers' already low morale, but instead emboldened the Qing army, making them think that the attacking troops were easy targets.

Finally, Dorgon seized the opportunity of a final feint attack to launch an offensive, and the army disintegrated almost instantly.

Some saw Dorgon and wanted to launch a full-scale attack, while others were unwilling to die in vain.

From that moment on, the army began a self-contradictory stampede and collapse.

"Do you think that if you don't talk, I can't do anything to you?"

"Li Yan, I have placed all my trust in you and doted on you. If I were to find out that our army's defeat was caused by you..."

"You know, I have never been a soft-hearted person."

"Summon the others in. I want to get to the bottom of this. How exactly was this battle lost?"

Even if they suffer a crushing defeat, Li Yan cannot be the only one to survive.

Upon hearing these words, Li Yan instantly collapsed to the ground as if his bones had been removed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life! Please forgive me this time. I was foolish. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

"Your Majesty, I will certainly be able to wipe out those Manchu Tartars!"

"If Your Majesty would grant me another 50,000... no, 20,000 troops, I will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty again!"

He kowtowed repeatedly, knowing full well that Li Zicheng was truly intent on killing him at this moment.

"fifty thousand?"

"If you have an army of 100,000, only 3,000 to 5,000 will return. What can 50,000 soldiers do?"

"I'll give you another 200,000 troops. Even for a good-for-nothing like you, 200,000 should be enough."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. I will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust again, and I will definitely bring you Dorgon's head!"

However, when he expressed his gratitude, he did not see Li Zicheng's cold expression and murderous gaze.

"Thank you? You still have the nerve to thank me?"

"If I dare to give it, do you really dare to take it?"

"Should I give you another 200,000 troops to hand over to Dorgon for free, and even give him my entire empire?"

"Useless trash! This time I finally see you clearly. All those years of studying have been for nothing; you're just a good-for-nothing!"

"Guards, drag this piece of trash out and parade him through the streets for three days. After three days, behead him at the execution ground!"

Without waiting for Li Yan to beg for mercy, he kicked him hard in the mouth, knocking out almost all of his teeth.

"I don't want to see him again. Summon the remaining soldiers to see me!"

"I need to know why we were defeated this time!"

That's ten times the number of troops!

Before receiving the battle report today, he never imagined he would lose.

The advantage is too great. If he were on the scene, he could command the siege with his eyes closed and there would be no possibility of defeat. At most, the casualties would be limited.

A moment later, the generals who had participated in the command were brought into the hall one by one.

After learning the full story of the battle from them, Li Yan's initial execution by beheading was changed to slow slicing at Caishikou.

Li Zicheng never imagined that there could be such a stupid person in the world.

To be granted land and made king?

When did he ever say that those who made the greatest contributions could be granted land and be made kings?

Does beheading a mere Dorgon deserve such a reward?

"There are some things I need to explain to you all. First of all, I have never said anything about granting land and titles to Li Yan, nor have I ever expressed such a meaning."

"This world does not belong to me alone, but to the people. I have no right to use the land of this world for rewards and honors."

"Secondly, even if I had said that, could that statement really be the reason for your defeat in this battle?"

“That’s a full 100,000 troops! You’ve all fought alongside me all this way. Knowing how disparate the numbers are in a battle, you should know how easy it would be to win.”

"But you chose the only path that would lead to defeat."

"They repeatedly launched feigned attacks, ostensibly to wear down the enemy's morale, but in reality, they were suppressing their own troops' morale just to seize credit."

"Li Yan certainly deserves to die, but what do you all think? Do you deserve to die?"

By the end, Li Zicheng's tone had turned icy cold.

Looking at these people was like looking at a bunch of dead people.

The generals were completely unaware of this.

They might still be thinking that Li Zicheng still needs them and others to lead the troops.

"We deserve to die, Your Majesty. Please spare our lives! The Tartars have become a complete menace. We beg Your Majesty to give us another chance to lead troops and kill the enemy!"

The leader had a sincere expression on his face.

If given another chance, he would certainly not let this happen again.

Unfortunately, they were all overthinking it.

Or rather, they underestimated the murderous intent in Li Zicheng's heart.

"Since you know you deserve to die, what gives you the audacity to ask me for a chance?"

"If I give you a chance, then who gives my 100,000-strong army a chance?"

"As for leading troops, that's laughable. You can still lose even with ten times the number of troops. Why should I let such useless people like you lead troops?"

"Guards, drag them all away and behead them. Hang their heads at the execution ground as a warning to the public."

"Ran their homes, execute the men, and send all the women and their property to the army camp as a reward for the troops!"

"My beloved ministers, this is the last contribution you can make to the Great Shun Dynasty."

"Go in peace. If there is an afterlife, I will never let you good-for-nothings lead troops again."

At this moment, the generals who had fought their way back were all stunned.

They truly never expected that this would be the outcome they faced.

Li Zicheng actually dared to exterminate them all!

"Your Majesty, spare us! If you kill us all, who will fight for you then?"

Before they were dragged away, cries of agony rang out one after another.

Who will fight for me?

"Have you all forgotten that I myself was in charge of the conquests in the past?"

"I knew before that you were not considered famous generals."

"Only today did I realize that he was not only not a famous general, but he was not even a human being."

"You bunch of pig-brains, you actually dare to dream of fighting for me?"
