Early the next morning, Zhao Min's two troops went to meet Zhu Yuanzhang's two armies.
A hundred miles away, at noon that day, Duan Zihao's troops met Chang Yuchun's troops.
The commanders of both armies sat firmly in the center of the army, and were only a hundred feet away from each other.
A general under Duan Zihao asked him: "General Duan, Chang Yuchun's troops are right in front of us."
"Should we fight a decisive battle with it?"
Duan Zihao quickly waved his hand: "No, His Majesty has already made a clear order."
"During this confrontation with Chang Yuchun, if we see any loopholes in his deployment of troops, we can take advantage of it."
"But now it seems that it is quite difficult to take advantage of Chang Yuchun."
Duan Zihao knew in his heart that Zhao Min actually didn't want to fight this battle outside the capital.
Because it no longer makes sense.
A few dozen miles behind him was the Yuan capital, where there was a moat several feet wide and high city walls.
Only when hundreds of thousands of troops are guarding the city can we be truly foolproof.
The person who really wants to fight this battle should be Han Yulou.
Duan Zihao also understood that Han Yulou wanted to achieve a victory, even a small one, to boost the morale of the Yuan army.
Duan Zihao still holds a cautious attitude towards this.
Getting an advantage will naturally boost morale.
But if the other side takes advantage of us, our morale will be greatly damaged.
For this battle, Duan Zihao does not seek to achieve any merit, but only to avoid mistakes.
…
The general beside Duan Zihao continued to say to him: "General Duan, there are 200,000 people behind us."
"Since we can't act rashly, then why are we here?"
"It would be very embarrassing to retreat without fighting."
Duan Zihao said: "Bullshit, face is not as important as life."
"Let the soldiers under your command be ready for battle."
"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."
"If we can't gain an advantage by standing still for a day and a night, we will retreat to Dadu."
…
At this moment, not only Duan Zihao was unsure, but Chang Yuchun, who was sitting opposite him, was also unsure.
Chang Yuchun knew very well that Duan Zihao was also a famous general of the time, and was ranked third among the masters in the world.
When facing such people, Chang Yuchun also adopted a cautious attitude.
For Chang Yuchun, he now has sufficient logistics.
"When there is no room for error, he would rather do nothing than allow himself to make a mistake."
Duan Zihao has already confronted Chang Yuchun.
But on the other side, Zhao Min had already fought with Xu Da's vanguard troops.
The cavalry led by Zhao Min wiped out one of Xu Da's vanguard troops with lightning speed.
Although the number of people captured was only two thousand, it was enough to boost the morale of hundreds of thousands of troops.
When Xu Da's army arrived at the battlefield, all that was left were the corpses of soldiers on the ground.
Xu Da's eyes were filled with anger, but what puzzled him even more was, what was Zhao Min doing now?
It no longer made much sense for her to lead her army to attack at this time.
It would be better to just defend the city honestly.
Zhao Min rode a horse and wore red armor, which made her stand out among the thousands of soldiers.
This situation made Xu Da, a veteran of many battles, feel deeply moved.
Xu Da thought to himself: "Such a remarkable woman, I wonder who in the world can recruit her into his army."
The last time Xu Da met Zhao Min was at Buliang Mountain.
That time, she used just a few big fires to burn Zhu Yuanzhang's tens of thousands of people and horses to ashes.
If Zhu Yuanzhang and his generals had not run fast, they would have been burned to ashes.
At this moment, Zhao Min's 100,000 troops were right in front of him, but Xu Da could not muster the slightest desire to fight.
A deputy general beside Xu Da said to him: "General, looking at Zhao Min's troops now, there are only about 100,000 of them."
"We have an army of 200,000 behind us. Two of us can defeat one. If we can capture this woman now, the Yuan Dynasty will be finished."
Xu Da sneered and said: "There are so many people, but what's the use of having so many people?"
"The Han population is almost a hundred times that of the Mongols."
"In the end, it was still ruled by the Mongols for nearly a hundred years."
The deputy general said: "Are we just going to sit there and watch?"
"Zhao Min is right in front of us. If he dies today, the Yuan Dynasty will be destroyed."
Xu Da said: "Today is definitely not the day Zhao Min will die."
"The Mongols' fate is not over yet. The most important thing is that we must never be careless when dealing with an enemy like Zhao Min."
…
Zhao Min, riding on a fine horse, looked at the 200,000 troops behind Xu Da and couldn't help but sneer, "Xu Da, huh, nothing more than that."
Then she shouted loudly: "The rear team becomes the front team, let's go back to Dadu."
In the morning, Zhao Min led her troops out of Yuan Dadu. Now, just after noon, she had chopped off two thousand heads.
The momentum of the Yuan army was once again brought to the sky by her.
Most of Zhao Min's troops quickly rushed back to Yuan Dadu.
She only left behind a few thousand soldiers.
The generals beside Xu Da once again advised him, "General Xu, Zhao Min has already retreated. Although we cannot achieve complete victory by attacking now, at least we can avenge those 2,000 brothers.
Xu Da still shook his head: "A general must be patient."
