April 7, 1370.

Xu Da, who had already slept enough and was absolutely refreshed, led all his soldiers and horses to launch the final attack.

At this time, Wang Baobao was busy doing something.

Go to bed.

In the past few days, I have been tossed by Xu Da and his subordinates.

Wang Baobao, who was harassed by a group of shrew-like men for several days without rest, was about to explode.

He never thought that a person could be so completely cheap, and a person could be so pure.

If a person doesn't even want a face, he can really be afraid of heaven and earth.

Since joining the army, he has never been so aggrieved, since he was trapped in this place where birds don't shit, he is like a king with his feet tied, unable to advance or retreat.

He hadn't had a good rest for several days, and he was busy catching up on sleep at this time.

I'm busy making up for the lack of too much sleep these last few days.

Since he led his troops back to Dingxi, his plan has never gone smoothly.

No.

It should be said that since the battle with Xu Da began, he has never been smooth.

Xu Da is the biggest nemesis in his life.

As long as he is there, no matter how good his luck is, it is.

As long as you run into him, no matter how good the deal is, he can mess it up.

This is true in Shanxi, and the same is true in Gansu.

Xu Da seems to be the evil star specially sent by God to punish him.

As long as he is there, he will definitely be defeated.

He originally pinned his hopes on those more than 1,000 people, as long as these more than 1,000 people could open a breakthrough, then he could take the opportunity to fight out of the camp and regain the initiative.

But I didn't expect that these more than 1,000 soldiers and horses just fought for a few minutes, and then they sank like stones into the sea.

It's like a meat bun beating a dog, and it never goes back.

In the face of this kind of battle situation, even if he is brave and good at fighting, he has no countermeasures at this time.

And while he was busy catching up on sleep, the army led by Xu Da began the final attack.

Infantry against cavalry, if in the usual way the infantry only had to be beaten.

The cavalry sat on horseback, with a bow and arrow in his hand, and a sharpened bloodthirsty scimitar at his waist, and any opponent who looked tough on the surface had to bow down to the torrent of steel under the ravages of iron hooves.

This is the fundamental reason why Temujin was able to lead his cavalry to wreak havoc at will.

But Xu Da is different, he firmly believes that no war machine can be 100% perfect, and anything that seems invulnerable has an Achilles' heel of one kind or another.

It depends on whether you will pay attention to find out.

If you study it carefully, you will inevitably catch the slightest clue.

Then gradually amplify the clues of this fixed point and make use of them, which will inevitably have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

Xu Da took advantage of this.

In the face of Wang Baobao's cavalry, his approach is to fence, which is like the tripping horse nail we are familiar with now, but Xu Da is bigger than it and stupider than it, but it is just as easy to use and as effective.

As long as it is useful, just that, it is enough.

One side is drowsy, the other side is scrappy.

One side is well prepared, the other is unprepared.

The Battle of Shen'eryu started in this completely asymmetrical situation.

The final outcome seems to have been determined long before the war began.

It was a one-sided slaughter.

There are no tactics to speak of.

Xu Da led his army of 400,000 into Wang Baobao's camp in the evening.

In the face of this group of invading enemies, the Yuan army, which was already exhausted and almost mentally collapsed, did not organize any decent resistance at all, so they disarmed and surrendered.

Most of the remaining soldiers and horses were still asleep, and they were dumplings by this sudden enemy army.

Even if there are a few brainless animals who are really not afraid of death, and the sleep quality is relatively perfect, they will not have much effect after all.

In front of Xu Da's army of tigers, their fate was already sealed at the moment of resistance.

Death is the only way out that Xu Da gave them.

And in this battle, Wang Baobao, who is the real protagonist, finally woke up from his sleep.

In the face of this group of soldiers, Wang Baobao's approach was very simple.

This kind of defeat will never be able to be reversed by him alone.

In this battle, I have been defeated.

Convinced in his heart that he had already achieved results, he once again carried forward the fine military style of running away if he could not fight.

In the case of continuous fighting in the camp, he hurriedly picked up his wife and children and fled while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos.

Relying on the strategic terrain that he is absolutely familiar with, he fled from the north of the ancient city.

And in this extremely passive situation, in the face of this group of brothers who were born and died, and in the face of this group of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, Wang Baobao, as the chief general, did an almost cold-blooded but equally simple approach.

Don't want it, don't want anything.

All the trained soldiers were released.

Raising fat horses and soldiers all gave up.

Officials, comrades-in-arms, brothers, soldiers, horses, and grain and grass were all abandoned.

I can't even protect my own life now, so what else do I want you to do.

Ask yourselves for many blessings.

You must know that from the moment you intend to follow Me, be prepared to be abandoned by Me at all times.

You're just a pawn in my hands.

A chess piece that can be used by me, and can also be discarded by me anytime and anywhere.

When I use you, you are my father and mother, my food and clothing, and my dependence on my future.

But if one day you are no longer of my use, then you will be the first thing I will abandon.

Now, it's time for you to give.

This is the price you have to pay for following me.

You carry me on my back, and I will be the first to run.

As long as I run, you love it.

Life or death has nothing to do with me.

And with the escape of Wang Baobao, the Yuan army was defeated.

The 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Gansu were destroyed in one fell swoop.

The Battle of Shen'eryu ended here.

The Ming army won a complete victory.

And in this battle, Wang Baobao, as the defeated party, did not treat Xu Da badly.

First of all, Xu Da got a large number of officials of the Yuan Dynasty.

They were Tan Wang Wen, Ji Wang and Guogong Yan Sixiao and other high-ranking officials.

In addition, 1,865 officials of all sizes, including Pingzhang Han Zhar, Hu Linchi, Yan Fengxian, Li Jingchang, and Chahan Buhua, were also captured.

Along with these 1,865 people, there were more than 84,500 generals and soldiers, 15,280 war horses, and a large number of camels, mules, donkeys, miscellaneous animals and other booty.

The remaining soldiers and horses who took advantage of the chaos to flee were negligible.

Because for these nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, those soldiers who took advantage of the chaos to flee were no longer important.

Their life and death no longer pose any threat to Xu Da.

And for Xu Da, this is a real harvest.

In this battle, Xu Da was the real victor.

In the confrontation with Wang Baobao, Xu Da, as the winning party, can completely despise Wang Baobao with a smile and arrogance.

And in the face of Wang Baobao, who had already fled in chaos, Xu Da did not want to bypass him.

Xu Da knows a truth: tolerating the enemy is the greatest cruelty to himself.

Especially an opponent like Wang Baobao.

This kind of opponent is too difficult to deal with.

He's too dangerous.

If he is released into the mountains today, he will definitely raise tigers in the coming days.

Wang Baobao, you don't want to leave here alive today.

Facing Wang Baobao, who had already taken advantage of the chaos to run wildly, Xu Da called another person to him.

This person's name is: Mu Ying.

He handed over the task of pursuing Wang Baobao to Mu Ying.

Mu Ying.

He is one of Zhu Yuanzhang's many adopted sons.

It can be said that the status is extraordinary.

Personally, I think that Xu Da handed over such an important task to Mu Ying at this time, which is a bit flattering to Zhu Yuanzhang.

That is, he sold a favor to Mu Ying.

In our current parlance, this practice is called rain and dew evening.

After all, this kind of cheap and obedient can not be bought and sold by one person, or it has to be appropriately distributed to others, so that it is fair.

Give yourself a little benefit appropriately, and people will continue to listen to you and work for you in the future.

If you want to take all the benefits and want to take all the profits, then who will mix with you in the future.

Who will die for you.

Xu Da should have seen this, so he would hand over the task to Mu Ying.

Mu Ying accepted Xu Da's order and led a part of the soldiers and horses from Xu Da to chase in the direction of Wang Baobao.

Mu Ying's thoughts should be the same as that of the boss Xu Da.

The same purity.

The same capable.

Send Wang Baobao, this bastard, home.

Back to the old home where single cells have not yet been effectively combined.

Let him completely disappear from under his nose.

But when he chased all the way to the Yellow River, Mu Ying found that he was wrong.

He originally wanted to rely on the Yellow River to intercept Wang Baobao's escape route, but when he arrived at the upper part of the Yellow River, he found that he had miscalculated.

I don't know where Wang Baobao found a driftwood (rotten wood that was cut down and thrown away), this benevolent brother relied on this rotten wood to send himself and his wife and children to the other side of the Yellow River.

At this time, Mu Ying was dumbfounded.

It turns out that if you want to cross the river, you can still play like this.

You can even float over it with a piece of rotten wood, so why do you need a bridge!

You are not afraid of drowning in the river.

You, Wang Baobao, are really a talent, a civil and military all-rounder.

In the face of Wang Baobao, an absolute talent, Mu Ying's choice was even more straightforward.

Keep the hunt going.

You must not be let go.

Even the Yellow River can't drown you bastard, so what else can do with him?

Thinking about it, Mu Ying, whose scalp was numb and her back was cold, killed all the way from Gansu to Ningxia.

When he finally arrived in Ningxia, he heard that Wang Baobao had fled to Helin, and had already joined his new master, Yuan Zhaozong, in Helin Shengli.

Mu Ying, who had completely lost hope, had no choice but to retreat.

Retreat from Ningxia to Gansu and join Xu Da.

In this confrontation between Gansu and Wang Baobao, the Ming army won a complete victory, and the Yuan army was defeated.

Retreat north to Mongolia and retreat for the time being.

And this seemingly defeated team does not seem to admit their defeat, let alone their defeat, and they never admit that they are losers in the confrontation with the Ming army.

Although they have temporarily retreated to Mobei, they still have strong troops and excellent generals who have re-recruited tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in this place.

Especially after Yuan Zhaozong ascended the throne, his hardcore allies returned to the north, and his ambitions began to gradually expand.

In the face of this army, which had once beaten itself all over the world, he did not rush to launch a military attack.

There is no direct confrontation with the other party.

Instead, choose to recuperate.

Gradually expand the scope of your victories while recuperating and recuperating.

And look for the right time to expand your territory.

When the time comes, hmph, I'm going to make you bastards look good with red headscarves.

Wait, I have a chance.

We'll see!

Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang's first Northern Expedition since the founding of the People's Republic of China has come to an end.
