Under the pale moonlight, the Youzhou Army retreated to the north in an orderly manner holding torches. Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo each led their men and horses to quickly approach from both wings, with their cavalry in front, trying to attack the Youzhou Army's rear.

At this time, the cavalry under Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo had entered the Youzhou Army's camp. After the people left the building, a large number of bonfires were still burning here, like a dotted area.

However, just as Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo's cavalry were about to quickly pass through the Youzhou Army's camp, the piles of bonfires suddenly exploded. Explosions were heard one after another, sparks flew everywhere, and the horses were frightened, and they neighed.

It turned into a mess.

"Haha, it exploded, it exploded!"

Seeing the camp being blown up into a sea of ​​flames, with the sparks shining as bright as the stars in the sky, all the Youzhou soldiers cheered. Lu Sheng waved his fist excitedly. Although this black powder firecracker was not very lethal, it was

It's loud enough and scary enough.

It turns out that this kind of black powder firecracker was invented by Gao Bufan's "guidance" Shen Ji Ban. He filled the black powder into a bamboo tube, added gravel as shrapnel to increase the killing area, and added a flammable fuse to become the most primitive firecracker.

of homemade grenades.

Lu Sheng deliberately did not extinguish the campfire when he set up camp, and then placed this homemade grenade and set the length of the fuse. When Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen's cavalry passed by, it exploded, but the fuse was still short.

Some of the enemy cavalry were blown up as soon as they entered the camp. If the enemy cavalry was halfway through, the effect would obviously be better.

Boom boom boom...

Explosions came one after another, sparks flew everywhere, and after the splendor, there was darkness and chaos, because the war horses were frightened and galloped, many of the torches held by the cavalry fell to the ground and were extinguished, and the originally burning bonfires were also blown up.

Gone.

Lu Sheng saw that the enemy's cavalry vanguard was in chaos, and couldn't help but secretly cried out that it was a pity. If the enemy were not outnumbered now, and Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen were both difficult to deal with, as long as he sent a cavalry team to take the opportunity to rush back, he would have won easily.

, and now, the only thing Lu Sheng can do is to take the opportunity to step up his retreat.

Soon, facts proved that Lu Sheng's decision was extremely correct!

Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo were both experienced generals. Although the cavalry vanguard suffered a sudden change, they remained calm in the face of danger. They immediately ordered the infantry to bypass the Youzhou Army's camp on both wings and outflank the cavalry to cover the retreat.

At this time, Lu Shengruo sent people to attack back, and he was probably already surrounded.

Lu Sheng saw two huge fire dragons quickly surrounding the camp from the two wings. He couldn't help but secretly sweat. Grandma, ginger is still spicy. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed to pieces.

Leftover.

However, the power of this round of explosions was still considerable. Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen's cavalry injured at least hundreds of horses, half of them were injured by flying gravel, and the other half were trampled on each other in the chaos.

So far.

When Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo reorganized their troops, the Youzhou army had already taken the opportunity to run out for several miles.

Zhang Xutuo picked up a remaining piece of bamboo tube by the campfire, put it under his nose, smelled it, and blurted out: "It's fire salt."

Yang Yichen frowned and said, "Is fire salt so powerful?"

Zhang Xutuo also looked puzzled. Although gunpowder had appeared in the Sui Dynasty, it was only a by-product of Taoist priests' alchemy. Due to the ratio problem, it had no power at all. Not to mention its military application, it was not even used in daily life.

There is no application, so no one would deliberately make gunpowder. It is estimated that even Taoist priests who make alchemy are blind cats and hit dead mice. They cannot make it every time. Even if they make it once or twice occasionally, they will be discarded as waste.

.

Black gunpowder in the true sense only appeared in the late Tang Dynasty. There was a clear formula for the proportion of the gunpowder. It was not until the Song Dynasty that gunpowder began to be widely used. Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen were surprised.

After all, Gao Bufan is a professional soldier. It may be difficult to use the existing materials and conditions to produce high explosives, but it is more than enough to produce ordinary black powder. Therefore, Gao Bufan may be the first to use black powder in war.

people.

Of course, this little thing can't scare the two veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. Soon, the two of them organized their troops and continued to pursue the Youzhou Army. If everything goes well, it is estimated that the two of them will take advantage of the situation to hit Zhuojun and destroy Gao in one fell swoop.

Extraordinary foundation, as a result, even if Gao Bufan returns alive, it will be difficult for him to stir up trouble again.

…………

Besides, after Gao Bufan entered the water, he quickly swam deep into the Gaoji Pond and swam out of the water in one breath. When he emerged from the water, he saw that the sky was full of stars, the moon was falling in the west, and there were dense clouds all around.

I don’t know where the reeds are anymore.

Gao Bufan found a relatively hard clod of soil and chopped down a large piece of reed with his knife. Then he climbed up and sat down on the mat made of reeds. At this moment, he was a little exhausted.

Lie down on your back, silently look at the stars in the sky, regulate your inner breath and restore your strength.

Although tonight's action was a bit reckless, he did not regret it. Just as he said to Yang Yichen, please have peace of mind. The line girl is his woman, and the woman who protects him is every responsible and normal man.

Instinct reaction, those who can still maintain so-called rationality at this time either don't care at all, or they are cold-blooded machines who are ruthless at all times.

At this moment, Gao Bufan's mood was stable and calm, because Xian Niang had not fallen into the hands of Yang Yichen. As for the six thousand Youzhou soldiers, he believed that Lu Sheng, if this boy could act alone, would definitely be able to safely withdraw the brothers to Hejian County.

Yes, Xu Shiji has made thorough preparations. I believe that even Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen will never be able to take advantage, let alone plot against Youzhou.

I remember that Li Chunfeng said that there would be a disaster during his trip, and it was an unavoidable disaster. He didn't believe it at first, but now he believes it, because when encountering such a thing, given his character, it is indeed unavoidable.

avoid!

"Dad and Wu Kuo should stay away from Luoyang now, right?" Looking at the missing moon in the sky, Gao Bufan couldn't help but think of Wu Kuo's eyes that smiled sweetly and crookedly.

In fact, on the day he received Yang Guang's imperial edict, Gao Bufan had already sent a message to Wugou using a flying pigeon, asking them to pack up and look for an opportunity to leave Luoyang and come to Youzhou. The reason why he insisted on

It took him a month to lead his troops to Gaojibo. One of the purposes was to buy time for Wugu and others to leave Luoyang.

Although the matter of the armored cavalry has been blamed on Luo Yi, Yang Guang is suspicious by nature, so this excuse may not be able to get through. This time, he was suddenly ordered to assist Yang Yichen in encircling and suppressing Gao Shida. He really had to guard against it, so he must

Put it without dirt

They picked him up just in case, but the timing of picking him up was very particular. If the news reached Yang Guang's ears, the other person might not have murderous intentions in the first place, but he would immediately become murderous.

If it's too late, you may never be able to pick it up again.

Therefore, Gao Bufan gave the general situation in a letter to Wu Gu's flying pigeons and asked them to choose an opportunity to leave under the premise of safety.

Changsun Wuji is calm and wise, Wu Gu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and with his father taking care of him, I believe they can evacuate safely, but now there is chaos everywhere, roads are blocked, and there are many obstacles from Luoyang to Youzhou.

The journey is far away and it will probably take a long time to get there.

Gao Bufan rested for nearly an hour and finally recovered to 70% to 80% of his condition. Except for the injuries on his legs and chest, which were a little hindered, they had little impact. With his gifted physique, it is estimated that he would be able to recover in two days.

God will heal on its own.

Gao Bufan took a deep breath and felt extremely relaxed both physically and mentally. Although he was close to death tonight, from now on he would no longer have to look at Yang Guang's face. He would just do whatever he had to do without any mental worries.

burden.

As a time traveler, Gao Bufan didn't have much respect for the imperial power, and he didn't have the idea of ​​​​being loyal to the emperor and his ministers. However, he didn't have it, and others did!

Wei Zheng has one, Du Ruhui has one, Wen Yanbo has one, and there are even more people who are loyal to the Sui Dynasty!

As the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary and sharing the emperor's worries, Gao Bufan is an official of the Sui Dynasty and a minister of Yang Guang. If he raises the flag to rebel without any reason, he will first lose the moral high ground and bear the reputation of disloyalty. This will be harmful to him.

It is very disadvantageous, because if the name is not correct, the words cannot be justified. Although this thing is fictitious and cannot be seen or touched, we cannot ignore it!

It's fine now. Gao Bufan has not yet rebelled. He sent troops to help suppress the bandits according to the order, but Yang Guang laid a dragnet and killed him. It was Yang Guang who betrayed him as a minister in the first place, so don't blame him for resisting.

As the saying goes, when the government forces the people to rebel, the people have no choice but to rebel. It is reasonable to rebel, and if it is justified, it will naturally make them arrogant!

Another point is that Gao Bufan had to take care of Qingruo's feelings, so this result is actually quite good. After Yang Guang is killed by Yu Wenhuaji, this country will be ownerless.

If Qin loses its deer, everyone in the world can chase it away!

Gao Bufan used the stars in the sky to figure out the direction, then he plunged into the water and swam to the north. He soon landed on the shore and ran towards the camp.

The night breeze was blowing, and Gao Bufan was running like flying under the moonlight. About half an hour later, he finally returned to the Youzhou Army's camp. However, there was no one there at this time, and there was silence everywhere.

Gao Bufan walked to a pile of exploding bonfire embers, picked up a piece of broken bamboo from the ground and smelled it. The smell of gunpowder still remained on it. It was obvious that Lu Sheng had used "firecrackers", and he also smelled it.

Don't know what the effect will be.

Gao Bufan was about to turn around and leave when the sword in his hand suddenly struck the darkness beside him. Under the light of the sword, a black shadow suddenly retreated away.

"Come out, don't hide your head and show your tail!" Gao Bufan stood with his sword horizontally and said coldly.

Several torches suddenly lit up in the darkness, and more than a dozen men in black came out of hiding. Their black cloaks were embroidered with the Feiyu logo. They were the Feiyu Guards. Gao Bufan recognized the leader of the team at a glance.

It's Xiao Jian, the deacon of Feiyu Guard.
