Li Xianzhong was very excited when he learned that this place was Bitiguan.
In those days, his uncle Li Rusong once led thousands of elite cavalry here to resist the siege and attack of tens of thousands of Japanese pirates.
After this battle, the Japanese pirates never dared to march north in large numbers again.
The two sides entered a standoff.
It can be said to be one of the important turning points in the fight against Japanese aggression and aid to Korea.
In order not to embarrass Li Rusong and the Liaodong Li family, Li Xianzhong took the lead in launching an attack.
He personally led his elite troops and charged towards the entrance of the valley.
The valley was narrow and the Ming army was unable to take advantage of its military strength.
They can only attack in a vertical formation.
Li Dingguo attacked from north to south, and Li Xianzhong attacked from south to north.
There was no tactics on either side.
It's a head-on collision, life in exchange for life.
The Eight Banners soldiers were very brave because this was a life-and-death situation for them.
If you win, you can live longer.
If defeated, he will die immediately.
The Ming army was braver.
Because this is their chance to change their destiny.
It is not about changing the fate of a moment or a lifetime, but about changing the fate of the entire clan for hundreds or even thousands of years.
The reason why the Hongnong Yang family has been passed down for thousands of years is that their ancestor Yang Xi stole a piece of Xiang Yu's limbs during the Battle of Gaixia.
For the Ming army.
If one could snatch a piece of Dorgon's body, the consequences would be unimaginable.
For the future of the entire clan, countless Ming troops rushed forward.
I’m afraid that I’ll fall behind and have the credit taken away by others.
As soon as the Ming army in front fell, the Ming army behind them stepped on them and squeezed forward.
The Ming army soldier lying on the ground wailed and shouted to the side: "Help me up, I want to fight two of them."
A Ming soldier who was missing an arm shouted through gritted teeth: "Don't fight, I'm going to kill ten of them!"
......
Although Dorgon occupied an advantageous terrain, he was attacked from both front and back.
Under the Ming army's desperate fighting style, the people around him fell one after another.
The three hundred personal soldiers were soon reduced to only a hundred or so.
Except for a few who were not injured, most of the others were injured.
At this time, the Ming army attacked again.
Although the Eight Banners soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they were still mortal after all.
Soon, they showed signs of defeat due to exhaustion.
Seeing this, Dorgon drew his sword and joined the battle.
The Eight Banners soldiers were encouraged when they saw Dorgon, and they worked together to resolve the Ming army's offensive again.
But the Ming army had too many people.
Even if two were replaced by one, all the people around Dorgon could be replaced.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The sun is setting in the west, about to fall.
The fighting stopped temporarily.
Dorgon looked around and found three people standing beside him.
The others were all dead or wounded.
Looking at the Ming army rushing over again from afar, Dorgon knew that the end was near.
He bent down and patted the injured warhorse that had fallen to the ground: "Thank you for your hard work, old friend."
Warhorse may have guessed what would happen next.
He struggled to stand up and leave with Dorgon.
But the warhorse's legs had been chopped off by a sharp blade and several arrows were stuck in its belly.
It’s better not to move.
The slightest movement would tear the wound and make the injury worse.
The warhorse struggled several times but failed to stand up. It lay on the ground and let out a painful cry.
Dorgon's eyes were moist, and he drew his sword and pointed it at his horse: "Don't struggle, old friend. I know you have tried your best. You go ahead, and I will follow."
After saying that.
He plunged the knife into the horse's chest, ending its life.
After doing all this, the Ming army had already approached.
He stood up and looked straight ahead, his eyes intimidating without anger.
Dorgon has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
The aura of an emperor and the sharp eyes he exuded made the Ming army in the front row subconsciously stop.
After the Ming army recovered, they did not take any action, but looked at the two entrances of the valley.
Dorgon also looked to both sides curiously.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Dingguo and Li Xianzhong rode into the valley on horseback.
They did not stop and went straight to Dorgon.
Dorgon first stared at Li Xianzhong for a while, then looked at Li Dingguo and asked, "You are Li Dingguo, right?"
Li Dingguo said nothing, but just nodded slightly.
Dorgon continued, "During the Battle of Dalinghe, you led your troops straight into the city of Shengjing. Your tactics were very bold and amazing! I have no regrets dying at your hands."
Li Dingguo had no expression on his face, and clasped his hands together: "Thank you."
Dorgon turned around and asked, "Li Xianzhong, how is your elder brother Li Xingzhong?"
Li Xianzhong was a little impatient: "If you have something to say, please speak quickly. Don't waste time."
Dorgon smiled bitterly: "Why are you in such a hurry? I am already going to die, so what's the harm in waiting a little longer?"
Li Xianzhong snorted coldly: "My elder brother is very good, what do you want to say?"
"Haha," Dorgon said with a faint smile, "I want to say that in the early years of the Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng used Li Chengliang to suppress Liao and Qi Jiguang to suppress Ji. Since then, your Li family has been tied to Liaodong. It is not wronged to die at the hands of your Liaodong Li family."
Li Xianzhong snorted again and raised the sword in his hand: "Anything else you want to say? If not, then let's go."
"Wait." Dorgon raised his right hand, signaling not to take action.
Li Xianzhong and Li Dingguo looked at each other and asked at the same time: "What else do you want to do?"
Dorgon stuck his sword into the ground.
He stretched out his bloodstained hands, tidied his hair and clothes briefly, and then slowly said: "Two generals, I have something to discuss with you."
