The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.
Chapter 739 Who wouldn't fight a battle with the wind at their back?
Enticement combined with seduction.
Dorgon racked his brains, even promising his own children to others, in order to barely keep the morale of his elite troops in check.
But he also knew that this stability was only superficial.
If they discovered that the monster was among the enemy troops, let alone treasure or women, even if they threw their own wives and children into the Forbidden City, probably few would dare to turn back.
They're truly terrified of being killed.
Even if the monster isn't here this time, we'll still have to face it in the future.
How will he solve that huge problem then?
"Then, Your Highness, why don't you send those surrendered soldiers up to test the waters?"
"If that monster is here, then we'll turn around and run!"
"If they're not here, it's not too late for us to press them later."
"Moreover, even if it's not that monster, the other raiding force is equally brave, and we can let those surrendered soldiers wear down their morale first!"
"That's right, exhaust their morale, and then our army will seize the opportunity to reap the rewards!"
To exhaust their fighting spirit?
Why does that sound so familiar?
It seems like Li Zicheng's army did the same thing not long ago, right?
They kept feigning an attack, trying to exhaust their morale before taking them down in one fell swoop.
However, instead of exhausting their fighting spirit, they also lost most of their morale.
When the 100,000-strong army first arrived, Dorgon was very panicked.
Who knew that this series of shrewd maneuvers would turn the tide of battle and allow him to win against overwhelming odds?
And now, the suggestions these people are making are becoming more and more similar to the actions of Li Zicheng's army!
"Do you really think this is wearing down the enemy's morale, rather than just wasting our own?"
Dorgon looked at the people around him with a strange expression.
"Of course not!"
"Our army has won one victory after another, and its morale is soaring!"
"Even if we suffer some losses, it won't affect the overall situation. On the contrary, the enemy is exhausted from marching and will certainly not be able to withstand our harassment!"
If that's the case, it seems to make some sense?
The problem is, he always felt that something was not quite right.
Could it be that the generals of the Shun army thought the same thing before?
"Your Highness, don't think too much about it. We are different from the Shun army back then!"
"At that time, although our army had fewer troops, we had won one battle after another, and our morale was already extraordinary. On the contrary, the Shun army had become fearful."
"But right now, our army is still crushing the enemy one after another. The enemy is the one that is more tired, more fearful, and has fewer troops!"
"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as that monster is not in the army, we will surely annihilate them all to avenge our brothers!"
Before Dorgon could think further, his personal guards had already begun to brainwash him.
“It sounds like what you’re saying makes sense.”
"Then let's do as you say and send 20,000 troops out of the city to probe!"
"If that monster is still here, hold the city, and I will slowly look for a way out."
"If that monster is not here, I will wait and see how you annihilate the enemy army and avenge the deaths of my Qing warriors!"
With the advice of those around him, Dorgon was gradually persuaded.
In any case, their morale is currently soaring, and even if they suffer a tentative defeat, it shouldn't affect the overall situation.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"That's how it should be!"
"Anyway, these are just surrendered soldiers, mere lackeys."
"Since they are all servants, what difference does it make if there are one more or one less?"
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Dorgon was momentarily surprised to realize how wise his decision had been!
……
On the battlefield, Liu Bang quickly noticed something different.
It seems different from the intelligence sent before.
When Li Zicheng's army was defeated, the scouts clearly saw that it was Dorgon who personally led the elite Qing troops to attack his camp, utterly routing his vanguard and leading to that crushing defeat.
But now, when he stormed the Qing army camp, it seemed that no Qing soldiers came out to fight him.
"You underestimate me?"
"Are you still afraid of me?"
Liu Bang could only think of these two reasons.
But regardless of the type, this is an opportunity.
Excellent opportunity!
Most of the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command had never experienced the trials of battle.
If they were suddenly put to face the elite Qing army, they might actually be intimidated or even retreat.
After all, while Han Xin was skilled at training troops, he couldn't train their courage outside of the battlefield.
Thinking of this, he pointed his sword at the surrendered soldiers who were coming to fight.
“Brothers, you and your father have been underestimated. Even the Qing army hasn’t shown up.”
"They felt that since you are not Xiang Ji, there was no need to go all out to deal with you."
"Don't you think they should pay the price?"
"That's natural!"
"Even Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu, dares not underestimate His Majesty. How dare these mere Tartars and surrendered soldiers!"
"All enemies who stand in His Majesty's way will be annihilated by us!"
The situation was so chaotic that Liu Bang could not clearly see or hear their reactions.
But the guards around them could tell that they were truly angry.
Even though they were indeed no match for Xiang Yu on the battlefield of Chu and Han in the past, they were still able to show their own style.
When Xiang Yu was not on the main battlefield, they were able to completely crush ordinary Chu troops!
If these people are afraid of Xiang Yu, then why aren't they afraid of him?
"Long live the big man!"
"Let them know that those who offend our mighty Han, no matter how far away, will be punished!"
"kill!"
Hearing the cheers of those around him, Liu Bang also felt his blood boil.
He was Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty!
This is a challenge for him, not for Xiang Yu!
He could accept being Xiang Yu's foil for a while, but he was absolutely unwilling to be overshadowed by him forever!
Since Dorgon only sent 30,000 troops to meet the enemy, he absolutely could not let this opportunity slip by!
He intends to use this battle to wipe out all 30,000 troops!
The moment the two sides clashed, Dorgon could see from afar that his own troops were being routed.
The monster was nowhere to be seen, but it seemed the outcome was no different.
This group of soldiers, especially the personal guards led by the commander, charged ahead and seemed equally capable of tearing apart any enemy in their path.
Once they tear a gap in the enemy lines blocking their path, it doesn't matter whether the soldiers behind them are greenhorns or veterans.
In a challenging situation, new recruits may experience mental health issues.
But when the wind is blowing in your favor, who wouldn't know how to fight?
In particular, before Dorgon could even prepare a supervisory team, many surrendered soldiers retreated involuntarily before they had even engaged in battle.
Ultimately, if they had been willing to fight to the death, they would never have chosen to surrender to Dorgon.
"Gentlemen, there's no need to wait any longer."
"That monster is not in the enemy ranks; now it's time to fulfill your promise!"
"Prove to me that the warriors of my Great Qing Dynasty are unparalleled in the world!"
