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

"Enemy attack on the camp?"

"Didn't our godfather already lead his troops to meet the enemy? Why are there still Qing soldiers coming?"

Liu Wenxiu received the news the moment the Qing army's surprise attack reached the camp.

For a moment, he was somewhat flustered.

Zhang Xianzhong led Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi to confront the Qing army, and took all the remaining troops with fighting strength with him.

The rest, except for about a thousand soldiers responsible for camp security, had all fallen ill.

Let alone going into battle, most people probably couldn't even stand up at this point.

"There are only a little over a thousand soldiers in the camp who are capable of fighting. What should we do?"

"Hongyuan, should we try to move the soldiers out of the camp first?"

"But the enemy won't give us that time!"

"Should we temporarily avoid confrontation?"

"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"

The more Liu Wenxiu thought about the situation in the camp, the more he felt that there was no chance of winning this battle.

Staying behind means certain death, it's the same as being buried alive with someone!

"Preserve the green hills? You mean to abandon these brothers in the camp?"

"They're just sick, not dead!"

Li Dingguo rejected his suggestion without hesitation.

To temporarily avoid the limelight? Or to preserve one's life?

These are all just beautified versions of the story; they are clearly just trying to abandon their brothers to save their own lives!

"so what!"

"The enemy is overwhelming right now. Are we just supposed to stay here and die with them?"

"There are still over a thousand brothers in the camp who could evacuate. Do you want them to die with you too?"

After being exposed, Liu Wenxiu became somewhat embarrassed and angry.

That's exactly what he meant, but what better way is there right now?

We can't just stay here and die with them!

"I will naturally ask them for their opinions, and if they want to leave, I will not stop them!"

"But no matter what, I will never abandon my brothers in the camp!"

After saying that, Li Dingguo didn't even glance at him again, and turned to leave the tent.

Watching his retreating figure, Liu Wenxiu gritted her teeth inwardly, and after a moment, she stamped her foot and followed him.

"Damn it, after so many years of brotherhood, let him die!"

"I'd like to see if you'll feel any remorse after dragging everyone down with you!"

But after he put on his armor and stepped out of the tent, he saw a completely different scene.

More than a thousand soldiers stood ready, not one of them retreating, but standing behind Li Dingguo.

"See? This is the brothers' own choice. They don't want to abandon the brothers in the camp."

"The scouts have also determined that the enemy force is not large, at most six thousand or so."

"A mere six thousand men, we can wipe them out!"

Seeing Liu Wenxiu follow him in armor, Li Dingguo finally smiled.

This is the brother he remembered!

"A mere six thousand men? You make it sound so easy. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Such carelessness will not end well."

Liu Wenxiu said irritably.

Our army has 1,000 men, the enemy has 6,000 men, and we can still use the phrase "merely two thousand men".

He really couldn't understand where Li Dingguo got his confidence from.

Even if you are usually exceptionally brave, you shouldn't be so careless with your opponent, right?

Keep in mind that the enemy on the other side easily defeated Li Zicheng's Shun army with fewer troops!

This kind of enemy is completely different from the Ming army scum you've encountered before!

“I know what you’re trying to say, but if we don’t push forward and instead retreat, how are we any different from those Ming army scum who killed innocent people and claimed credit for their crimes?”

"These brothers all trusted us, which is why they risked their lives to leave their homes and follow us out of Sichuan to fight against the enemy!"

At this point, if we abandon them because they are not used to the local climate and water, what difference would there be between us and the Ming army that they look down on?

Did Liu Wenxiu not understand this principle?

Of course he understands!

"What you say makes sense, but facing such a powerful enemy, wouldn't staying here be just throwing our lives away?"

"If we can't win, and we lose the lives of over a thousand of our brothers, I'll see how you handle the consequences!"

Is he afraid of death?

He admitted that no one in this world is unafraid of death.

But he was also thinking of the more than one thousand brothers who still had a chance to evacuate.

They were outnumbered and outgunned by the elite Qing cavalry.

The chances of winning are slim!

"If you can't win, you can't reap the rewards; if you win, you will."

"Judging from the enemy's formation, they don't seem to have the advantage; on the contrary, they seem to be desperate and choosing to break out from our side."

"They seem to be in high spirits, but in reality they are fragile and easily broken."

"Take five hundred men and circle around behind the enemy, and don't be discovered along the way."

"I will hold out for you on the front for enough time, then we will attack from both sides, and the enemy's formation will surely be thrown into chaos."

"At that time, this crisis will naturally be resolved, and you and I may even achieve unparalleled feats!"

Li Dingguo could glean many insights from the enemy's offensive.

It appears fierce, but it's actually more like preparations for an escape.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Qing prince is very likely in this army!

If they can defeat this army, they may become the greatest heroes of this war!

"Putting aside your unparalleled achievements, I'm taking five hundred men with me, leaving you with only six or seven hundred. How are you going to hold out?"

"We don't have many troops to begin with, and you want to divide them up?"

Liu Wenxiu was truly puzzled.

I can't understand where Li Dingguo got his courage from.

With one thousand against six thousand, they were already at a complete disadvantage.

In this situation, we still need to divide our forces!

Holding out would be ideal, but successfully flanking the enemy would certainly disrupt their plans.

What can we use to support ourselves?

If six or seven hundred men are placed on the front line, wouldn't they be swallowed up by the enemy in an instant?

Even if we don't wait long enough for a flanking maneuver, we'll probably be wiped out in a single encounter!

"Then you don't need to worry about me. There's not much else in this camp, but there's enough kerosene."

Before assembling the troops, I had already ordered the wounded to be transferred to a side camp, so that even if the fire broke out, it would not affect them.

How can we drag this out for such a long time?

Li Dingguo's solution was to use fire!

The entire camp was engulfed in flames!

The enemy forces either had to go around them or fight them to the death in this sea of ​​fire!

"Are you crazy?"

"Not only would we be in dire straits ourselves if we were trapped in a sea of ​​fire, but what would become of the camp's supplies?"

"The wounded can still walk, but the supplies can't. Once the supplies are destroyed, even if we win this battle, what will we do then?"

Whether this fire can defeat the enemy is uncertain, but our side will certainly suffer heavy losses!

"What happens in the future is a matter for the future. If we don't deal with the current enemy well, then all these supplies will become theirs."

"Do you think it's better to burn them, or to let them fall into enemy hands?"

Li Dingguo's view was simple: if supplies couldn't be saved, they should be burned rather than given to the enemy!
