¿Cuál es correcto?

Me gustaría una traducción por "Bill hit her". Bill le pegó a ella. o Bill la pegó a ella.

Bill hit you and me.
Bill nos pegó a tí t a mí. ¿Es correcto?

Although note that a class of people called laístas will say "Bill la pegó". In Spain this trait is particularly associated with madrileños.

Yes, but although some kind of "leísmo" has been accepted, "laísmo" hasn't.

I'd say "Bill nos pegó", I wouldn't add "a ti (ti without an accent) y a mí", because we (you and me) know that Bill hit us. That would be different if you said: Bill nos pegó a Carlos y a mí.

And:

Bill le pegó a él.
Bill le pegó a ella.
