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

Liu Bang turned around to look.

Sure enough, every soldier's face was filled with exhaustion.

Only after the Qing army retreated did they get a brief respite.

Without Han Xin's reinforcements, the situation would probably be on the verge of collapse.

Even when they had a chance to catch their breath, you could tell from their expressions.

They probably won't be able to fight anymore.

"Soldiers, reinforcements have arrived. We are only one step away from turning the tide of the war and annihilating the Manchu Tartars."

Are you really going to give up here?

"Do you want those brothers who died in battle to have given their lives in vain?"

"Think of your comrades, who fought bravely and even gave their lives on this battlefield!"

"I absolutely refuse to see their sacrifices in vain, even if it means losing my own life on this battlefield!"

Liu Bang focused his energy, trying to make his voice resonate throughout the entire battlefield.

“You might think that I, like Li Zicheng, am here to fight for the world.”

"But I want to tell you clearly today that it doesn't matter to me who owns this world, but it is very important to me that the final throne will not go to the Manchu Tartars!"

"This matter is equally important to you!"

"Think about it carefully. Do you really want your descendants to be oppressed by the Manchus for generations to come, to be their slaves, to be their beasts of burden, and to be slaughtered at will?"

"Do you want to be slaves for generations, and be called lowly people?"

"Think about the places the Qing army passed through; I should have taken you to see many of them!"

"Do you really want your wives, children, elderly parents, and relatives to experience that hellish disaster?"

anger.

Liu Bang knew that at this moment, only by arousing their final anger could he get them to pick up their swords again and point them at Dorgon!

"If you don't want your wives and children to go through that, then pick up a knife and kill them!"

"Reinforcements have arrived! It's time for a counterattack!"

At the same time, just as he pointed his sword at Dorgon, a military flag suddenly rose in the very center of the divided battlefield.

The clarion call for the Han army's counterattack sounded at this moment.

Upon seeing that large banner, Dorgon felt his heart plummet to the bottom.

This means that everything was planned by the enemy commander.

The current situation is precisely when the Qing army is at its most vulnerable!

"Retreat! Issue the order: retreat! Retreat and defend the city!"

Upon realizing the situation, Dorgon made the most correct decision immediately.

But he forgot that he was no longer in charge of the city.

"Your Highness, the troops inside the city are still engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy. I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city!"

The military camp was engulfed in flames, and the city was in chaos.

A formidable enemy lies ahead, while an ambush is brewing behind.

For a moment, Dorgon felt as if he had been abandoned by heaven and earth.

"The only way out now is to fight our way out!"

"I can see that the enemy ahead is their backbone. Defeating them and killing their generals will cause the enemy army to completely collapse!"

"Our Great Qing Dynasty is only one step away from conquering the Central Plains. Are we going to fall here?"

After defeating Li Zicheng, Dorgon had the idea of ​​taking control of the Central Plains in mind.

And he's already very close to that goal!

He dared not even imagine how future generations would praise him if he appeared in the Qing court as the greatest contributor to the Qing Dynasty's conquest of the Central Plains!

Having already achieved such glory, how could he be willing to give it up!

"Your Highness, do we really still want to fight?"

"The enemy is on all sides. Our army has been completely divided. We don't know where those surrendered soldiers have gone."

"How to fight?"

At present, Dorgon can only command less than 20,000 troops.

The good news is that these people are all elite soldiers, with good discipline and ability.

The bad news is that, apart from these fewer than 20,000 men, they are surrounded by enemy troops on all sides.

He couldn't understand how the enemy commander had planned this.

Ever since that big banner was raised, even though his troops were no less than before, he had the illusion that he was surrounded by a million-strong army.

If the scouts hadn't discovered how many troops the reinforcements had, he might have even had the urge to flee in panic.

"Heaven knows what kind of commander I am facing."

"Even if the great military genius of the Ming Dynasty were alive, he might not be able to achieve this."

Knowing that their side had a strong and well-equipped army, a frontal assault, even if it were to encircle them from all sides, would be difficult to achieve. Instead, it would only disperse their own forces and allow them to be defeated one by one.

Therefore, they first feigned weakness to the enemy, then broke up the main force into smaller units, thus dividing the Qing army in the same way.

When both sides are equally divided, the side that is prepared will obviously have a significant advantage.

Just like now.

Those surrendered soldiers who had broken away in an attempt to gain military merit are now completely surrounded.

Their situation is a hundred times more desperate than Dorgon's!

"But no matter what kind of commander, no matter how ingenious the plan, there will always be a key point in the formation!"

"Once we break through the core of the formation, no matter how many troops remain, they are nothing but paper tigers!"

"No matter what kind of enemy we face, we will prove to them that the warriors of our Great Qing Dynasty are unparalleled in the world!"

After analyzing the battle situation on all sides, Dorgon did not hesitate for a moment longer.

He knew perfectly well that if he didn't fight desperately now, what awaited him would be a series of attacks from the enemy commander that wouldn't give him any chance to breathe.

By then, he might not be completely wiped out, but at least his hope of taking control of the Central Plains would become extremely slim!

"second to none!"

When not facing Xiang Yu, the Qing army still possessed sufficient courage.

After all, they all knew very well that the enemy they were facing was nothing more than a group of hastily assembled ragtag soldiers.

Even if the enemy commander is truly a brilliant strategist, in the worst-case scenario, they can still break through the encirclement by relying on the speed of their cavalry.

Having experienced the worst-case scenario, the current situation is not unacceptable to most Qing soldiers.

"Also, has there been any news from the messengers sent out?"

"Didn't I tell His Majesty to send reinforcements immediately?"

"Judging from the enemy's movements, there shouldn't be many troops guarding Shanhaiguan. The reinforcements Your Majesty sent should be able to pass through easily."

"Judging by the timeline, if we send troops immediately upon receiving my letter, our reinforcements should be arriving soon, right?"

After arranging the next offensive, Dorgon called his two most trusted generals to his side and asked them questions.

So much time has passed, and he has already wiped out Li Zicheng. Even if the messengers he sent out had to crawl, they should have been able to crawl back by now!

"Perhaps the messenger returned with the army."

"Logically speaking, there's no point in His Majesty keeping those troops in his hands. He shouldn't hesitate to send troops, even if it's just to avoid that monster..."

"If we calculate the time, it is indeed within the next few days, but we can't say for sure which day it will be."

"Then let's ignore it and pretend they don't exist. Even without reinforcements, I can still crush the enemy!"
