NOVEL NEXT Chapter 175
Bo Cai was not a fool. He knew that fighting at the border of Jizhou and Qingzhou might face the risk of being attacked from both sides, so he wisely chose Jizhou as the battlefield.
When Zhu Jun led his army into Jizhou, Bo Cai led his army and quietly appeared, and quickly besieged Zhu Jun's troops in the center.
Bo Cai personally commanded the front, Zhang Mancheng was responsible for the rear, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the troops on the left and right sides respectively, with 10,000 Taiping troops in each direction.
"Hahahaha, who did I think it was? It turned out to be a defeated general! No one can save you this time!" Bo Cai waved the big knife in his hand and laughed at Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun was furious when he saw Bo Cai appear again. He had lost to Bo Cai twice in a row. If he failed again this time, his reputation would probably be completely ruined.
"Bo Cai, today our two armies are equal in strength. I must kill you!" Zhu Jun held the spear tightly in his hand and pointed it at Bo Cai.
At this moment, Zhu Jun was full of fighting spirit, as if he wanted to defeat Bo Cai with his courage and determination, but in Bo Cai's eyes, Zhu Jun was just a clown who overestimated his own abilities.
Zhu Jun looked at the contemptuous smile on Bo Cai's face, and a surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart. He shouted angrily: "Bo Cai, dare you fight me!"
"Haha, why not!" Bo Cai laughed wildly, waving the big knife in his hand, and rushed towards Zhu Jun fearlessly.
For the former defeated general, Bo Cai was full of confidence and did not take Zhu Jun seriously at all.
Seeing this, Zhu Jun snorted coldly, held the spear tightly in his hand, and went forward without flinching.
The two collided in an instant, and a fierce battle began.
The spear in Zhu Jun's hand stabbed out like lightning, and each strike was fierce, trying to break through Bo Cai's defense.
However, Bo Cai wielded his sword flexibly and easily blocked Zhu Jun's attack.
"With just these two moves, you still want to defeat this general? You are overestimating yourself!" Bo Cai sneered.
Zhu Jun's face turned gloomy when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and wielded his spear more vigorously, hoping to find Bo Cai's flaw.
But Bo Cai's swordsmanship was like a storm, so Zhu Jun could never gain an advantage.
"Humph, Zhu Jun, you are no longer my opponent!" Bo Cai shouted triumphantly.
Zhu Jun secretly swore in his heart that he must make Bo Cai pay the price.
He used all his strength to launch another round of fierce attack, but Bo Cai still easily resolved his offensive.
At this moment, Bo Cai suddenly exerted his strength and slashed at Zhu Jun fiercely.
Zhu Jun quickly used his spear to block, but Bo Cai's strength was too strong, and he actually split the spear in Zhu Jun's hand into two pieces.
Zhu Jun was shocked and wanted to retreat to avoid it, but Bo Cai quickly caught up and slashed Zhu Jun fiercely with another knife.
Zhu Jun screamed and fell to the ground.
"Haha, Zhu Jun, you lost!" Bo Cai laughed triumphantly.
Zhu Jun struggled to stand up, but the severe pain from the wound made him unbearable.
He looked at Bo Cai, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.
"Bo Cai, I will definitely avenge today's shame!" Zhu Jun said with gritted teeth.
Bo Cai glanced at Zhu Jun with disdain, and his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous smile: "Humph, a defeated general dares to speak here? He really doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
At this time, Bo Cai thought to himself that Zhu Jun in front of him was simply a fool. Did he really think that he didn't dare to kill him?
Zhu Jun's face instantly became very ugly after Bo Cai said this, and he was speechless for a while.
He knew very well in his heart that he had indeed been defeated miserably by Bo Cai again.
The first two failures were in military strategy and tactics, but this time he lost to Bo Cai in a one-on-one duel.
This means that no matter from which angle, he, Zhu Jun, is far inferior to Bo Cai.
This sense of frustration made him feel ashamed, as if all his dignity was completely destroyed at this moment.
Bo Cai looked at Zhu Jun's embarrassed appearance, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
He sneered and said, "Since you are so mentally ill, there is no need for me to spare your life."
After that, Bo Cai swung the sword in his hand without hesitation, and chopped towards Zhu Jun's neck with a sharp sound of wind.
Zhu Jun's eyes widened, his face full of horror, but he could not avoid this fatal blow.
There was a crisp sound of "click", blood splattered, and Zhu Jun's head fell to the ground.
His body collapsed to the ground weakly, and there was still an expression of disbelief on his face.
At this moment, several of Zhu Jun's trusted generals saw this scene. They were filled with grief and anger, and immediately waved their long swords in their hands.Gun, rushed towards Bo Cai like a hungry wolf.
Bo Cai smiled coldly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, he quickly raised his sword and faced these enemies who rushed up.
The two sides launched a fierce battle, swords and shadows intertwined, and the sound of metal collisions was endless.
Bo Cai had experienced hundreds of battles and was highly skilled in martial arts. Every sword contained endless power and murderous intent.
His movements were as agile as lightning, and his sword was as fierce as a storm, making it difficult to resist.
In less than ten rounds, Bo Cai relied on his extraordinary strength to kill these trusted generals one after another.
Their bodies lay on the ground in a mess, and their blood dyed the surrounding land red. The battlefield was filled with a strong bloody smell, which was disgusting.
Bo Cai sheathed his sword and looked around, revealing a sense of majesty and domineering in his eyes.
"Kill!" Bo Cai gave an order, and the army behind him surged forward like a tide, rushing directly to the Qingzhou army in the middle.
They took firm steps, waving their weapons, with a desire for victory in their eyes.
Zhang Mancheng in the rear also led his army and quickly caught up with the army in front, forming a pincer attack from the front and back.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou on the left and right sides led elite troops to flank the Qingzhou army and besiege it in the center.
On the battlefield, shouts of killing and the collision of weapons intertwined, playing a thrilling battle song.
Soldiers on both sides fought each other with all their might in the chaos, and blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like mountains.
After a long and fierce battle, both sides were exhausted, but Bo Cai's army still maintained a strong combat effectiveness.
They continued to advance, gradually compressing the space of the Qingzhou army.
Finally, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, Bo Cai realized that the time had come.
He raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" The voice resounded throughout the battlefield, shocking everyone.
Hearing Bo Cai's shout, the seven or eight thousand Qingzhou soldiers who had no intention of fighting stopped their actions.
They looked at each other, with expressions of confusion and fear on their faces.
Some people began to hesitantly put down their weapons and approach Bo Cai's army, while others were still watching, full of contradictions and uneasiness.
Bo Cai looked at these surrendered soldiers and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
He knew the cruelty of war and knew that these soldiers were also forced to be involved.
So he shouted again: "Put down your weapons, I promise not to hurt you! We are all Han people, why should we kill each other? As long as you are willing to surrender, I will give you a way out."
His words revealed a kind of sincerity and tolerance, which made people feel the kindness in his heart.
The hesitant soldiers gradually put aside their concerns, dropped their weapons, and surrendered to Bo Cai's army.
At this critical moment, a Qingzhou general stood up.
He was tall and strong, and he was obviously a man of integrity.
He said loudly: "Although we are defeated, we will never surrender easily! We are soldiers and we must die with dignity!"
However, Bo Cai was not angry or furious.
On the contrary, he smiled and responded: "General, I admire your courage and loyalty. But please think about it. If you continue to resist, more soldiers will lose their lives. Can you bear to see them die in vain? Surrendering now can not only save your life, but also do something good for the people."
The Qingzhou general listened to Bo Cai's words and fell into deep thought. He looked at the exhausted soldiers around him and knew that continuing to fight would only lead to more casualties.
In the end, he nodded helplessly, signaling the soldiers to lay down their weapons and choose to surrender.
Following the decision of the general, other Qingzhou soldiers followed suit, dropped their weapons and surrendered to Bo Cai's army. Bo Cai smiled with relief, knowing that the battle was over.
Then, Bo Cai personally stepped forward, helped the Qingzhou general up, and said with emotion: "Thank you for your understanding, General. Today's battle is not your fault, but the chaos in the world. I hope that we can work together in the future to contribute to world peace."
The Qingzhou general was grateful and expressed his willingness to join the Yellow Turban Army and contribute his own strength to world peace.
Bo Cai gladly accepted his loyalty, and the two shook hands and talked happily, as if they had become comrades-in-arms.
In this way, Bo Cai successfully recruited more than 8,000 Qingzhou soldiers and once again strengthened the strength of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Finally died in my hands!" Bo Cai looked at Zhu Jun's head in front of him and laughed directly, relieved.
He was also defeated by Zhu Jun at the beginning.However, it took many people working together to defeat him that time. Now, except for Cao Cao, they are all dead. Bo felt that the depression in his heart had been completely resolved.
