In A.D. 1368, the Ming army marched northward, and Xu Da's subordinate Tanghe headed for Handian, confronting Wang Baobao's army. As a result, the Ming army was defeated, "the battle of Handian was defeated by the master." The troops of Tanghe and Wang Baobao were the most elite divisions in the world at that time, and Wang Baobao finally won.
Of course, as far as the Yuan Dynasty was concerned, Wang Baobao was powerless. After losing tens of thousands of troops, he took his wife and children to the Yellow River, made a raft and ran away. "When you get to the Yellow River, you have to flow wood across the river." Wang Baobao's escape left a great hidden danger for the Ming army.
137 1 year, the purpose of Xu Da's northern expedition was to destroy Wang Baobao's power. For the Northern Expedition, although Liu Bowen once warned Zhu Yuanzhang that "expanding the outline should not be light", the Ming army was still a little careless. The Ming army traveled long distances to Lingbei and met Wang Baobao's army. When the Ming army was dominant, it was defeated by Wang Baobao and suffered heavy losses. "Thousands of people were killed."
The biggest blow to the Ming army was after that. During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming army was unable to attack the north on a large scale. The main reason for the defeat was that the Ming army attacked from a long distance and lost its geographical position. At the same time, although the firearms carried by the Ming army are lethal, long-distance transportation becomes a burden because of their huge size. While Wang Baobao is good at defensive warfare and surprise warfare, it is natural for the Ming army to suffer.
