"Don't let him to mislead you" vs "Don't let him mislead you"

Question

I have some questions about these statements:

Don't let him to mislead you

Don't let him mislead you

Are both of the sentences correct?
If both are interchangeable, which one sounds more natural to a native speaker?
Is there a rule or structure that governs the second example - as that sentence does not have the full infinitive?

Other examples could be:

"Don't let the devil deceive you."

Thanks!

Related (duplicate?) Allow (to) + infinitive, substantive, verb+ -ing. I'm sure the main reason learners have trouble here is simply because syntactically, let* doesn't work exactly the same as allow.* — FumbleFingers, Sep 17 '22 at 16:02

The first statement is incorrect. The second statement Is perfect!

“let him to” is never used in UK English or any other English I know.
