长社之战 / Changshe Battle (late Han)

长社之战 / Changshe Battle enters the wiki through Hanji 925 as the 184 CE battle in 颍川郡 where 皇甫嵩 defeats 波才’s Yellow Turban force. After 朱儁 first loses to Bo Cai, Huangfu Song shelters in Changshe with a weaker visible force and keeps Zhu Jun positioned nearby.

The episode frames the battle as active retreat. Huangfu Song uses a weak posture to draw confidence, waits while repeated harassment and poor night discipline wear down Bo Cai’s camp, then exploits wind and vegetation for a fire attack. Zhu Jun joins the strike and 曹操 arrives as a cavalry commander for the pursuit, producing a large Han victory.
