Miao Daheng, a native of Dingyuan, initially gathered volunteers to attack Haozhou for the Yuan Dynasty, but failed to capture it. After the Yuan army was defeated, Miao Daheng alone led 20,000 people and garrisoned Hengjian Mountain with Zhang Zhiyuan for more than a month.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang used a trick to attack his camp at night, which led to it being breached. However, Miao Daheng and his son did not escape.
At dawn the next day, he gathered some scattered soldiers and lined up to wait. Zhu Yuanzhang then sent his uncle Miao Zhen to surrender and ordered him to lead his troops in the expedition.
Since then, he has performed many meritorious services for Taizu and was promoted to marshal.
Later, Miao Daheng also led troops to capture Yangzhou and surrendered to Qing Army Marshal Zhang Mingjian, with tens of thousands of troops and 2,000 horses surrendered.
However, Miao Daheng did not take it as his own. Instead, he sent all the wives of the surrendered generals to Yingtian. Therefore, Miao Daheng served as a member of the Privy Council, taking over Yangzhou and Zhenjiang.
Historical records say: "The tycoon had a good strategy in commanding the army. He was lenient and did not disturb the people. He ran the army seriously and prohibited violence and eradication. The people were very happy, but he died soon after."
"Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang passed by Zhenjiang and sighed: "General Miao has an upright life and has never made any mistakes. It is a pity not to see him." So he sent an envoy to pay tribute on his behalf!"
It can be seen that this person's ability is definitely top-notch, and he is naturally one of the people brought out by Zhu Yuanzhang. He joined the Yellow Turban Army early and now he has become one of the seventy-two Fang Xiaoqu commanders.
Now, he is temporarily under Zhu Yuanzhang.
After receiving Tang He's military order, although Miao Daheng didn't quite understand why Tang He was obsessed with a small, defeated army, as a general, it was his bounden duty to obey.
Therefore, Miao Daheng immediately led his three thousand soldiers and horses, avoided the place where the fire spread, and left the city from the south gate to surround the Han army, but in the end it was still a step too late.
When Miao Daheng led his troops and arrived Shanshan, the remaining Han army had already left, so Miao Daheng continued to lead the pursuit.
However, after chasing for twenty miles and still finding no trace of the enemy, Miao Daheng stopped pursuing, because if he continued to pursue, his troops would be in danger.
However, Miao Daheng didn't know that if he continued to pursue for several miles, he would be able to catch up with this tragic army.
Because just three miles away from Miao Daheng's withdrawal position, a small group of troops was hiding here. The leader was the same general who ordered the burning of grain depots and ordnance depots to buy time for the Han army to retreat.
"Brother Zheng, you are so awesome. The Yellow Turban Army has indeed left." After receiving the news that the Yellow Turban Army had left, someone immediately shouted, his eyes full of admiration.
"Don't be too happy, wait until they leave completely." Unlike the others, the young general said with a calm face.
Time passed slowly like this, and soon after a quarter of an hour, the scouts sent out again came with news that the Yellow Turban Army had really left and headed for Wuyang City, which was at least five or six miles away from their current location.
When the young general heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the defeated soldiers beside him and said, "Now that Wuyang City has been lost, what are your plans?"
"What else can we plan? We can live one day at a time. We are determined to follow you, Brother Zheng. You are so smart that you can definitely let us live well." The defeated soldiers said in unison.
When the young man surnamed Zheng heard this, he immediately smiled and then murmured to himself: "In this troubled world, whether it is a family or a common people, they are all just trying to survive."
In this way, this young man surnamed Zheng led more than 300 Han troops towards Changshe. After all, the purpose of this large force of the Yellow Turban Army was to attack Changshe.
They might even be able to join the rescue army.
However, according to his guess, the rescue force will probably suffer heavy losses this time. The authorities, who are confused by the onlookers, may have guessed the Yellow Turban Army's plan.
The reality was just as the young man named Zheng expected. Under the command of Xu Da, the reinforcing Han army was caught off guard. Even the original city was taken by the Yellow Turban Army.
In just three days, six county towns were lost, and the casualties of the Han army reached 60,000.
Today, the only cities that are truly in the hands of the Han army are Yangdi County, the capital of Yingchuan, Kunyang, where General Wu Ju is in charge, and Changshe County, where Cao Cao, Zhu Jun, and Yuan Shu are in charge.
Although these people all fell into the trap, because he had many troops, Xu Da only mobilized some of them, and the remaining troops were enough to defend their respective cities.
As for Changshe City, this impregnable city, no one thought that if it were not supported by a large army in time, it might be in danger of being overturned.
But such a situation cannot happen without one person, and that is Bo Cai.
According to original history, in February of this year, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, sent Ma Yuanyi to Jingzhou and other places to summon Bo Cai and others to prepare for an uprising.
Only because of the traitor's informant, the uprising was forced to start early, and the Han court sent Zhu Jun, the general of You Zhonglang, to attack Bocai.
But the result was that Bo Cai, a mud-legged peasant, defeated Zhu Jun, a world-famous general, and besieged him in the land of Changshe.
However, at this time, Huangfu Song, another general of the Han Dynasty, came to support Zhu Jun and stationed at Changshe.
Only then did Bocai besiege Changshe, and because his troops were more powerful than the Han general Huangfu Song, the Han army was very frightened.
However, Bocai's trick came. This guy actually built a camp on the grass and was discovered by Huangfu Song. It happened that the wind was still strong that day, so Huangfusong made a surprise attack on Bocai's camp, set it on fire, and Bocai's army retreated.
What was even more coincidental was that Cao Cao, the cavalry captain of the Han Dynasty, happened to come to rescue Huangfu Song and others, so he joined Huangfu Song and defeated Bo Cai.
Bocai's army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and Bocai retreated to Yangdi.
After Huangfu Song and others won the victory at Changshe, they took advantage of the victory and pursued it, defeating Bo Cai at Yangzhai and Peng Tuo at Xihua.
After the defeat of Bo Cai and Peng Tuo, the power of the Yellow Turban Army in the east was destroyed.
It can be said that Bo Cai in the original history was definitely not a weakling in the early stages of the Yellow Turban Uprising. He still had the abilities he should have. Otherwise, the three majestic generals of the late Han Dynasty, including the silver-level Huangfu Song, would not have been able to do so.
He defeated two of them.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Maybe strength comes from ability. If it cannot be used effectively, it is useless. Bocai is just an ordinary person. Without systematic study of the art of war, his
Performance is very inconsistent and sometimes depends entirely on luck.
In a head-on confrontation, he will not be timid at all, but once his opponent uses tactics, he will be completely withered, and this is also a common problem among many peasant rebel generals.
Therefore, looking at the leaders of the peasant uprising armies in the past dynasties, the battles they fought in the early stages of the uprising were all so nonsensical, either they were seriously biased, or they were extremely outrageous in the early stages of the uprising.
And in the end, those who survived countless wars became famous generals, such as Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others.
However, in this era, Bo Cai's development trajectory has completely changed, because the head of the Yun family, Yun Ji, Yun Kuang's grandfather, saw Bo Cai's talent in the art of war, so he accepted him as a disciple and taught him carefully.
.
In the past few years, not only did he systematically follow Yun Ji and learn some military techniques, but he also often followed him to observe and learn how to use military force.
In addition, in these several battles, Bo Cai also commanded the army alone many times. Not only did he accumulate considerable leadership experience, he also accumulated a certain prestige. It can be said that his current army commanding ability is not inferior to that of Zhu Jun.
.
Through these months of fighting, Yunji got to know Zhu Jun a little bit. The latter can indeed be called a famous general. Whether it is his ability to adapt to situations or command on the battlefield, he is definitely top-notch.
However, the latter also has an obvious shortcoming, that is, he is too smooth. Ever since Zhu Jun hugged Xiao Mohe's thigh, he has been marching and fighting without any disadvantages.
After all, since the terrifying war god Wang Teng disappeared behind the scenes, the big man needed a new sign, so Liu Hong replaced the younger generation Xiao Mohe.
Although the latter's ability is far inferior to that of Wang Teng, it is still much stronger than those old guys who are on their deathbed, so Liu Hong cultivates Xiao Mahana vigorously.
In the past few years, Xiao Mohe's ability has made rapid progress, and he has become the number one person in the Han military. And Zhu Jun, who he single-handedly promoted, has naturally grown with the tide.
In the early stages of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he refreshed his record through several battles and entered his peak period ahead of schedule. Otherwise, how could he have fought against the commander-in-chief, Yun Ji, who had already reached 97.
However, it was precisely because Zhu Jun's military career was so smooth that he developed a minor problem, which was that he was prone to look down on some unknown generals and to overestimate himself.
Yun Ji seized this point and asked Bo Cai to show weakness to the enemy and set up a camp with grass more than ten miles outside the north gate where he was stationed, just to lure Zhu Jun out.
This is really tit for tat.
In his previous life, Bo Cai was setting up a camp with grass, so Huangfu Song seized the opportunity and lost all his efforts in a matter of months.
But now, he still chose Jie Cao as his camp, but it was to lure Zhu Jun and lead the army to attack.
The Battle of Changshe no longer lasted ten days and a half. It had been close to two months since Zhu Jun had no choice but to retreat to Changshe due to failure.
At the beginning, Yun Ji was not in a hurry to attack, but personally commanded the army to surround Changshe City in order to cut off the food and grass for the officers and soldiers.
A month ago, the Han Dynasty sent General Yuan Shu and an army of 90,000 to support Zhu Jun. After Yunji learned the news, not only did he not feel panic, but he was instantly overjoyed.
Because once these mouths enter Changshe City, the remaining food and grass in the city will not last long.
However, the reality was completely different from what Yun Ji had imagined. After Yuan Shu led his troops to Yingchuan, there was no swarm of people rushing to rescue Changshe.
Instead, he divided his troops into several groups and asked his counselor and general Sun Shuao to lead some of his troops to guard Yangqu, while the remaining troops were assigned near Changshe.
Then, he led an army of 30,000 troops plus Huben guards, personally entered Changshe, and brought a lot of food and grass.
It can be said that Yuan Shu's operation caused Yunji's trapped beast plan to declare bankruptcy on the spot.
But even so, Yun Ji did not lose his composure because of this. Instead, he re-evaluated Yuan Shu, a man with a reputation as a playboy. This made him feel more and more that what he hears is ultimately false, and what he sees is true.
Therefore, Yun Ji did not advance rashly, but began to launch an attack in an orderly manner, hoping to slowly consume the supplies of the officers and soldiers in the city and make them gradually collapse.
Although Changshe City is not very big, its solidity is definitely among the best in Yingchuan County.
In addition, there are still 60,000 defenders in the city. Even if the Yellow Turban Army has 200,000 people, it will be difficult to take them down easily.
Yun Ji also knew this, so he slowly consumed it, which was to gradually wear down the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers.
It wasn't until Xu Da and others provided Yunji with a reverse strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, allowing him to see a glimmer of hope in capturing Changshe.
That's why Yunji and the others have such an arrangement, and now it's time to close the net.
……………
In the first year of Zhongping, at the beginning of July, at night.
Since it has just entered early autumn, the world is still filled with hot air. In addition, these days, soldiers die on the city wall every day. Every time the night wind blows, it brings with it bursts of bloody air, and
A faint rotten smell.
Counting from the day Zhu Jun was besieged, Changshe City had been trapped for two months. During these days, Yunji would order the Yellow Turban generals of each gate every day to lead his troops to attack the gates he attacked.
His purpose was very simple, which was to keep the spirits of the city-defending officers and soldiers in a tense state, not daring to relax at all, and further drag them down.
Especially in the past few days, the frequency has been surprisingly high, and there is a strong tendency to take down Changshe City if there is a disagreement.
Today, near dusk, Yuan Shu was fighting at the top of the city, with Yuan Tuo and General Ji Ling protecting him. Seeing the enemy's retreat, Yuan Shu breathed a heartfelt sigh of relief.
When he came to support Yuzhou this time, Yuan Shu brought a total of 3,000 Huben guards. However, with the continuous attacks of the Yellow Turban Army, the number has now been reduced to just over 2,000, and nearly one-third of them were directly injured.
This made Yuan Shu feel even heavier.
But he also knows that this is war.
Fighting with an iron horse is heart-stirring, but also full of endless desolation, because the brothers who may laugh and laugh with you today may die on the battlefield at some point tomorrow.
These days, Yuan Shu would stand on top of the city and look into the distance, because he felt more and more something was wrong. For some reason, the Yellow Turban military camp at the north gate had been set up on grass since a few days ago.
What makes people feel even more bizarre is that the Yellow Turban Army general Yun Ji did not stop him. If there is nothing fishy here, Yuan Shu dares to use General Ji Ling's head as a guarantee!
