After confirming that Xiang Yu was not among the troops in the raid.

Dorgon made a decision immediately.

Annihilate this group of soldiers with all our might!

This was not only to nip the threat in the bud, but also to warn all enemies in the world who wanted to oppose their Great Qing.

The Qing Dynasty is invincible!

"Once this rebel army is wiped out, I will lead you into the capital!"

"Fertile land, countless silver coins, and endless slaves and women await you!"

"By my order, the entire army shall advance!"

With a command given, although many Qing soldiers were still timid, they had already said what they had said before, and the surrendered soldiers were not doing well either.

If they continue to hide, the situation will likely reverse in an instant once they have absorbed all 30,000 surrendered soldiers!

Even if they were timid, they had to bite the bullet and fight!

"kill!"

The deafening shouts of battle immediately drew Liu Bang's attention to their movements.

At this moment, Dorgon committed almost all of his troops, including himself, who personally led the charge.

It's another king versus king situation!

"It seems that these Tartars are just like us, enjoying personally leading troops into battle."

"He has good courage, but that's about it; he's not very bright."

"Give the order: the ambush troops can be put to use."

“You know, even if you’ve never eaten pork, you can still make a pretty good imitation just by seeing a pig run.”

Liu Bang knew he couldn't emulate Xiang Yu's "burning the boats and breaking the cauldrons" strategy.

However, he had read detailed military reports about Han Xin's strategy of fighting with his back to the river and knew the most crucial points.

Even if he couldn't understand Han Xin's military strategies, simply imitating them wouldn't be a problem at all.

He knew his opportunity had arrived when the Qing army did not immediately send its main force to meet the enemy!

"But Your Majesty, the scouts have already gone to investigate. We are about to face an army of 100,000!"

"Should we feign a withdrawal to temporarily avoid a direct confrontation?"

After his personal guards relayed his orders, they couldn't help but offer their suggestions.

They were not afraid of dying on the battlefield themselves, but they were afraid that Liu Bang would encounter an accident.

After all, that was an army of 100,000, including elite troops personally led by Dorgon.

Once the elite forces of both sides clashed in close combat, they really couldn't guarantee that they could protect Liu Bang.

"Should I withdraw my troops first and avoid their sharp edge?"

"joke!"

"Those who want to retreat, go ahead, I will not blame you. But in a battle between kings, I have only ever backed down against Xiang Ji!"

"Even Longju was defeated by you, so how much more so would this mere Dorgon?"

"Follow me into battle! He is not Xiang Yu, and he is not worthy of your fear!"

Avoid his sharp edge? That would mean even if you won, you'd become a laughingstock among countless people!

Even with an army of 100,000, what difference would it make?

Today, Liu Bang will prove to the world that he can set up the same traps that Han Xin could set up!

He can charge into any formation that Xiang Yu could!

At this moment, Liu Bang demonstrated what it means to be the first to charge ahead.

As he charged out to face the enemy forces who had come out in full force, his personal guards and new recruits who were going to battle for the first time all roared after they realized what was happening.

Nothing in this world is more inspiring to morale than a commander advancing instead of retreating when facing a formidable enemy.

If even the head coach is fearless, what reason do they have to be afraid?

"what?"

Seeing that his opponent was advancing instead of retreating despite his forces coming out in full force, Dorgon was momentarily puzzled.

But he felt he didn't need to understand.

The next moment, after realizing what had happened, he was overjoyed!

If the enemy doesn't retreat, isn't that exactly what he wants?

While the monster was away, they annihilated the person in front of them and severed his arm!

The next time we face that monster, there will be less pressure!

"Since this man is courting death, then let's send him on his way!"

"Let the world know what a foolish decision it was to be an enemy of the Great Qing!"

The moment the two armies clashed head-on, Liu Bang felt immense pressure.

Although he had just defeated the army of 30,000 surrendered soldiers, the morale of his opponents did not drop much as a result.

After all, they had just fought against Li Zicheng's Shun army and almost won a complete victory.

Both sides were in high spirits, and Dorgon's side was clearly more elite.

As Liu Bang's personal guards said during the battle, the pressure of this battle was immense, and no one could guarantee that they could protect Liu Bang.

After several rounds of battles, Liu Bang was covered in wounds, and many of his personal guards had also been lost.

"As expected, you are still somewhat inferior to Xiang Ji."

Looking at the still numerous and highly motivated enemy troops, Liu Bang couldn't help but sigh.

"But Your Majesty, it should be about time."

"Judging from this situation, they should be able to take more than just the enemy camp."

Despite the fact that the battle situation was not going well, his personal guards looked delighted.

Despite their imminent defeat, the candle in the wind is actually lit by the enemy!

On the other side, before Dorgon could launch the final attack to completely crush Liu Bang, he heard a commotion behind him.

"What's all this chaos about!"

"Our army has the advantage right now, so what are you all panicking about!"

"With just one more charge, I will lead you to crush the enemy. At that time, they will all be lambs to the slaughter!"

Dorgon couldn't understand why, at this crucial moment, his own side was in disarray.

"But Your Highness, it seems the enemy has attacked our camp, and beacon fires have been lit in the city as well, so it must have been attacked at the same time."

"Hurry back and provide support!"

"Once the enemy takes the city, we'll be homeless again!"

That city is their source of confidence!

As long as the city exists, they have a way out.

Even if they were defeated on the main battlefield, they could still retreat back to the city and hold their ground.

In any case, they already have a large amount of food and supplies, plus the slaves in the city. If they are careful with their food, they are confident that they can outlast any force!

But once the city is lost, even if we win the battle head-on, it will still be of no use.

With no way out, even if the Forbidden City is right in front of them, they will still be constrained!

"When?"

Hearing the panicked words of these people, Dorgon quickly turned around to look.

They saw that their own camp, including the city walls, was now covered with unfamiliar flags.

The enemy actually took advantage of this brief moment of fighting to capture his stronghold!

Their coach actually used himself as bait!

"Withdraw troops!"

"We can give them the main camp, but we must not lose the city!"

In a panic, Dorgon made a hasty decision.

But his retreat was seen as a sign of defeat by the surrendered soldiers behind him!

Even if he had the messenger use flag signals, it was still to no avail!

It even had the opposite effect.

After all, going back to provide reinforcements means that there are also enemies behind us!

Immediately afterwards, the phrase "caught in a pincer movement" will come to mind for everyone.

Before Dorgon could think much about it, unrest broke out among the surrendered soldiers of the Shun army.
