What is the most classic battle between famous soldiers in history?

1. In October of the 27th year of Xu Da's Northern Expedition (1367), Zhu Yuanzhang, then the king of Wu, ordered Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to lead 250,000 people to the Northern Expedition in the name of "expelling the Tatars and restoring China" in order to completely overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains.

After Xu Da's army went north, it entered the Yellow River from Huaihe River, and even Huai 'an, Shouguang, Linzi and Gaoyuan were owned by Xu Da's army.

At that time, Yuan Shundi, Wang Baobao, Li Siqi, Zhang Liangbi and others were hostile to each other and wanted to see each other's jokes. So, after Xu Da's army conquered Shandong, it went all the way like nobody's business, hitting Dadoucheng directly, scaring Yuan Shundi to flee without fighting.

On August 2nd, the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da conquered Dadu, and the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty won a great victory, which officially ended the rule of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains.

However, the conquest of most parts does not mean the end of the Northern Expedition, because the real tough battle is still ahead.

Most of them were conquered by the Ming army, but so do dungans surrounded them, and Wang Baobao, a famous Yuan Dynasty soldier with more than 100,000 troops, decided to move eastward from Shanxi and recover most of them.

At this point, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who have captured most of them, know very well that if they don't defeat Wang Baobao, they can't sit still in Dadoucheng. As a result, the first real hard battle after the founding of the Ming Dynasty-the Ming attack on Shanxi broke out.

In World War I, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were divided into two ways, and the two armies surrounded Shanxi with a pincer-like offensive, ready to join forces at the gates of Taiyuan and annihilate Wang Baobao in one fell swoop.

Wang Baobao was surprised at first when he got the news, but he was relieved when he heard that Tang He, the striker of Junbei Road, was reckless and left the army. Because Tang He's aggressiveness in Wang Baobao's view is to die! (The process of the Ming army recovering the capital was too easy, which led to the weakness of the Yuan army and its relaxation. )

Soon, Wang Baobao mobilized the main force, took advantage of Tanghe alone to attack Tanghe, defeated 30,000 Ming troops led by Tanghe, and annihilated seven or eight thousand people.

After the Tanghe fiasco, Wang Baobao immediately counterattacked, and his goal was Dadoucheng. At that time, Wang Baobao thought that if Xu Da didn't go to the rescue, he would take the opportunity to occupy Dadu and welcome Yuan Shundi back to his place. With Xu Da's help, he will set traps in most places earlier and earlier to ambush Xu Da.

This seems to be a foolproof plan. No matter which way Xu Da chooses, he and Wang Baobao are winners.

However, Xu Da is Xu Da after all. He saw through Wang Baobao's career and didn't follow Wang Baobao's routine. He decided that Dadoucheng was not needed, and the Ming army continued to attack Taiyuan.

Xu Da thinks: Dadoucheng has no danger to defend, food and grass are insufficient, and Wang Baobao is unable to defend. Shaanxi is the base camp of Wang Baobao for many years. Without Shaanxi, Wang Baobao couldn't keep the majority, so he had to go to the customs to herd sheep.

Later, it turned out that Xu Da's idea was right. Wang Baobao immediately led hundreds of cavalry to rescue Taiyuan after receiving the news that Xu Da had attacked Taiyuan. Moreover, before Xu Da was besieged, Xu Da was stopped on the outskirts of Taiyuan.

The two sides went to war as soon as they met, which was the first large-scale confrontation between the cavalry of the Central Plains regime and the Mongolian cavalry in the world.

However, because both sides are famous, and the troops of both sides are also elite. Therefore, in this head-on confrontation, we didn't fight too hard, just explored each other's reality and then withdrew.

Three days later, Chang Yuchun's army arrived in Taiyuan. After observing the strength of the yuan army, he thought that the yuan army was not a straw bag, and many people would die if it was hard steel, so he put forward a plan to attack the yuan army camp at night.

Night attack, the Ming army played very successfully, almost wiped out the Yuan army, and Wang Baobao fled to Gansu with the guards in a mess. (This is the first time in the history of Central Plains cavalry to win over Mongolian cavalry)

After conquering Shanxi, Xu Da continued to attack Shaanxi. At that time, Shaanxi was guarded by Han warlords Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi. They didn't want to fight, so when Xu Dajun attacked, they surrendered directly. (Later, Zhang Liangbi rebelled and was destroyed by Xu Da; Li Siqi was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to win Wang Baobao, and his hands and feet were cut off by Wang Baobao.

At this point, Shaanxi and Shanxi were pacified, and most of the northern areas fell into the hands of the Ming army.

Second, Ming Taizu's first Northern Expedition since the end of the Northern Expedition in Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, thought that Yuan Shundi, who was hiding in Shangdu (Kaiping), was too out of the way, fearing that he would make a comeback. So in June of the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a letter and ordered Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong to send troops to the Northern Expedition to completely destroy Yuan Shundi.

Yuan Shundi heard that the army was killed (cavalry 20,000, infantry160,000), and his soul was scared away, and he fled overnight with his wife and children. All the way to Yingchang (more than 0/00 miles north of Shangdu/Kloc-now Dalainuoer Lake in Inner Mongolia). During his escape, he was flustered. He should have fully realized the feeling that the monarch of the Song Dynasty wanted to die more than 90 years ago. (Chang Yuchun died after the Northern Expedition)
