Chapter 103 The Second Northern Expedition(2/2)
Place of birth: Dingyuan, Haozhou (now belongs to Dingyuan County, Anhui Province);
Date of death: 1393;
Main achievements: The Battle of Fisher Sea defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty;
Title: Duke of Liang (Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him Duke of Liang, but he was in trouble and Zhu Yuanzhang changed it).
First of all, I need to declare that Lan Yu has a characteristic that people have to admire. This guy is just as fierce as his own brother-in-law, and is equally fierce and capable of fighting.
But the two have two completely different ways of playing on the battlefield.
Chang Yuchun is suitable for quick battles, which means fighting face to face with the enemy. Like a knife, it penetrates the enemy's heart and instantly destroys the enemy, and then chases them all the way until the enemy you are fighting cannot find the fast battle in North.
In today's terms, it is called a frontal assault war.
But Lan Yu is different, he is suitable for playing dark wars.
The secret battle I refer to here is a kind of raid battle, which is a battle where the enemy didn't know where you were at the last moment, or even knew that there was an enemy approaching, but the enemy was killed in the next second and ran around in a mess.
I even have some doubts about whether Chang Yuchun's family is a legendary military strategy family. When their family gets married, no matter whether they are a man or a woman, they must choose the other party who can lead troops and fight to get married, otherwise the marriage will go bankrupt.
On February 29, Xu Dajun, who was the middle road, led the cavalry out of Yanmen Pass under the leadership of the vanguard commander Lan Yu, and first defeated Wang Baobao near Yemachuan (now the Kruren River on the Sino-Mongolian border).
The first battle was won.
In order to achieve greater victory, Lan Yu, who led the army for the first time, did not let these deserters go.
He chose to pursue all the way, and on March 20, Lan Yu defeated Kugutemur again at the Tula River (that is today's Tula River, located in Ulaanbatosi, Mongolia).
Two battles, two victories.
Faced with this kind of battle situation, Lan Yu, who had never dealt with Wang Baobao for the first time, had a slight underestimation of the enemy. He felt that Wang Baobao was not as powerful as the legendary one. The troops he led were confronting him head-on, and he couldn't even stop him for a round and started to turn around. This kind of thing was not worth scaring of him at all.
So he decided to continue pursuing.
Until Wang Baobao was brought back to his hometown!
He was brought back to his hometown where he was still a mother.
But he felt that he was a little lonely and did not rashly break into the desert, but waited for the army led by Xu Da to arrive in the rear and headed together.
Xu Da seemed to feel that this terrible opponent had deteriorated in the face of two battles, so he did not reject Lan Yu's judgment.
Instead, he personally led his troops to the north of Lingbei to fight to kill this difficult opponent in one fell swoop.
But Xu Da, who had not fought with Wang Baobao for more than a year, wouldn't know that Wang Baobao was indeed not the Wang Baobao from a year ago, because after more than a year of baptism, he had already changed at this time.
Become even more terrifying!
Lingbei (Mobei), a pair of cold eyes in the dark have been hidden here for a long time. He has been preparing for this battle for more than a year. At this time, he can no longer control the excitement in his heart. The cold scimitar tightened and loosened in his hands, loose and tightened, and his strong body trembled slightly and showed all the struggle in his heart at this time.
This is the cemetery he chose for his friends who came from afar, and he had chosen a cemetery one year ago.
For this decisive battle, he practiced more than a few times.
All efforts are for today's decisive battle.
The shame of a year ago is vivid in my mind. How embarrassing the escape was, and how shameful the escape was at that time.
Looking back like a beast is still like cutting flesh and tearing the heart apart.
A year is like a nightmare pain, it’s time to say goodbye.
Goodbye will also be the moment when your Xu Da's life ends forever.
Because only dead people will not disclose secrets.
Only when you die can those unbearable past events that are completely covered in the world.
Come on, Xu Da.
Chapter completed!
