In the 13th year of Hongwu (1380 AD), Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been silent for eight years, launched the Third Northern Expedition.

The target is still the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

This time the opponent's name is Tuhuo Chi.

The fire-drawn can be said to be the main rookie of the new generation after Wang Baobao.

His current identity is Duke of Yuan (wonderful name, his power is much worse than others).

If you want to ask where Wang Baobao, who was so arrogant in the past, I can be honored to tell you that Wang Baobao, also known as Kuogutemur, had passed away in 1376 AD.

That is what we commonly call hang!

As for the specific reason why he died, this cannot be checked.

Historical books only record that he died in the Halana Sea in August of the eighth year of Hongwu (1375 AD). There are two explanations for the Halana Sea. One is the place name and the specific address is Kobdo, Mongolia. If this explanation is based on this, it can be understood as natural death.

But there is another explanation for Hala Nahai. If this explanation is mentioned, it will be a bit confusing.

In Mongolian language, Halanahai means black dog.

Could it be that Wang Baobao, the arrogant and domineering brother, was bitten to death by a dog?

If this is the case, it can only be said that the boss is so lucky that he didn't read the calendar when he went out.

A generation of heroes did not die at the hands of the enemy, but was bitten to death by a mad dog.

Luck is so good!

Anyway, no matter what, Wang Baobao is already dead.

After Wang Baobao's death, another group of people replaced him and became the main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

One of them is Fire-Draining.

However, among the Northern Yuan forces, the power of the Fire-Draining Chi is not the core force. If divided according to the level, it can only be regarded as a branch.

The troops it led were only a remnant army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was busy dealing with the internal strife, Tuohuochi led tens of thousands of troops to cross Helin, marched south, and began to plan to invade the south.

Faced with this force, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to bypass them.

His approach to these unchanged assholes was consistent.

That is a large army conquest.

Kill these bastards.

This time he did not choose Xu Da, who made outstanding contributions, nor did he use Fu Youde, who possessed the invincible myth.

Instead, he chose his godson, Mu Ying.

In the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, it was indeed an era when the heroes emerged. There were too many heroes appearing during this period, such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Fu Youde.

Compared with the above three war gods, Mu Ying's influence is relatively weaker.

Of course, what I mean by weakness is not that Mu Ying is incompetent. What I mean is that the three above are too powerful, and their achievements and combat power are basically comparable to those of the great gods.

And Mu Ying can only be said to be a small follower in front of them.

For example, if Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's influence are compared to the underworld elder brother, Mu Ying can only be the master behind the elder brother.

The identities of both parties are not the same magnitude.

But different levels do not mean that the ability is not good.

The facts tell us that Mu Ying is also a cruel guy.

Maybe Mu Ying had an idea in her heart.

Since my godfather asked me to go to war, I can't embarrass him no matter how I do it.

On March 11, 1380 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Xiping Hou Muying to lead the Shaanxi Ming army to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

On March 21, the troops led by Mu Ying arrived in Lingzhou (now Lingwu, Ningxia).

After arriving in Lingzhou, Mu Ying did not recklessly fight directly with the other party. He first picked a few soldiers with quick legs and nimbleness into Inner Mongolia.

There is only one purpose: to do reconnaissance and intelligence.

He had to know how many people there were in the group of guys who had been drinking northwest winds in the desert for several years and where they were stationed.

These soldiers did not disappoint him.

Soon they rushed back and brought back valuable information.

The fire-drawn had already arrived at Nai Road (now southeast of Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia), and ten thousand people came.

After the intelligence was confirmed, Mu Ying began to deploy the battle.

Mu Ying, who had followed Chang Yuchun for a long time, got his true story. In the battle with the enemy, he often showed their genius creative thinking.

In the battle against Huo Chi, he can be said to have fully interpreted the individual assault war.

He ordered everyone to abandon all their supplies, bring enough dry food to travel lightly, and then after seven days and nights of rapid march, crossing the Yellow River, and crossing Helan Mountain through Ningxia to launch a surprise attack on the remaining troops of the fire-drawn army.

Mu Ying issued an important military order less than fifty miles from the Tuhuo Chi Military Camp.

Divide troops.

Divide all the troops into four groups.

Launch raids to the enemy from different directions and positions respectively.

After the division of troops was completed, he took advantage of the darkness and couldn't tell the difference between the left and right, and directly confiscated the enemy's nest.

Fifty miles are too close to the cavalry.

Mu Ying, who was full of confidence and murderous intent, led his troops to set off.

This can be said to be a typical individual assault battle.

In this battle, he perfectly interpreted the true meaning of the word "resoluteness".

Before he recovered from Nailu, Tuohuo Chi was completely unprepared. Suddenly, a group of well-equipped and murderous soldiers appeared in front of him.

At this time, Tuhuochi's heart was probably a problem.

Where did this group of goods come out?

Before my follow-up troops arrived, these guys, who were like heroes from the sky, had already picked up the guys and started to work.

Tuohuo Chi was completely confused by the murderous Ming army suddenly appearing, and he caught him off guard.

Without any time to react, the sudden Ming Jun made dumplings.

This is a pure siege.

The remaining army that had been rid of fire was like minced meat in the dough. If one was not careful, it would be eaten by the well-equipped Ming army.

The fire-Cheng, who was made into dumplings, seemed not willing to fail.

He believed that with these thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, he could even kowtow to the other party.

So he led his troops to resist.

But what he didn't expect was that his group of soldiers and horses quickly retreated in the face of the extremely powerful enemy army.

Faced with this decline, Fuhuo Chi, who was not afraid of burning firewood, finally made the final decision helplessly.

Escape.

However, Tuohuochi, who had been completely wrapped in dumplings, did not have the superb escape experience as his master, so before this man could escape, he was arrested and captured before he could escape the encirclement.

Therefore, there will always be a record in history books: in the 13th year of Hongwu (1380), Bohuo Chi, Aizu and others were suddenly attacked, and were captured by the Ming army without fierce resistance.

As the boss got out of Huo Chi was captured, the rest of the troops quickly collapsed.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated.

The Ming army won.

The victory of this battle belongs not only to the Ming army, but also to Mu Ying.

He used his practical actions to tell everyone a truth.

Whether it is the dead Chang Yuchun or the elderly Xu Da, he is not inferior to anyone.

At this point, the third Northern Expedition ended.
Chapter completed!
