Battle of Buyur Lake
The Battle of Buyur Lake was a Ming victory over the Northern Yuan in 1388 near Lake Buir in eastern Mongolia. A Ming army under Lan Yu surprised the camp of the khan Toghus Temür, capturing tens of thousands of people, including members of his family. The khan fled and was soon killed by a rival, and the authority of the Northern Yuan khans collapsed.
