At this moment, it was the third watch in the middle of the night, and the Jianchun Gate had already been closed, and there was still some time before it was opened. The soldiers guarding the city gate didn't seem to have heard the news of Youyan Wang Yueyu's escape, and they were still asleep one by one, leaving only two soldiers with spears, standing weakly at the city gate, not knowing whether they were awake or asleep.

Everyone looked at the thick and tall city wall of Luoyang from afar, and looked at the tightly closed gate, and they couldn't help but strangle the horses under their crotches from a distance. They thought to themselves, "If we have not carried a heavy hammer ladder with us, how can we break through the city gate quickly?" So they all silently stared at the mastermind of this matter-Qiu Yizhi.

Qiu Yi had already made up his mind in his heart, called Yu Chi Lianghong, and whispered two words in his ear.

Yu Chi Lianghong received the order, his figure flashed, and he was already deceived behind the two guards in an instant, and he didn't know what means he used, and the two unlucky guards fell to the ground at the same time. There was no sound between this fall, like a ghost, and everyone watched it from behind, and they all secretly applauded in their hearts.

At the same time, Qiu Yizhi had already dismounted and personally took out two packs of gunpowder prepared by himself from the car, caught up a few steps, put the two packets of gunpowder under the Jianchun Gate, lit the fuse with Songming in his hand, and immediately rushed back.

Only a "boom" was heard, and the gunpowder exploded, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

The explosion was so loud that even Zheng Rong, who was sleeping in the car, was so frightened that he opened his eyes, struggled out of the carport, and asked Qiu Yizhi: "What's going on?" ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't have time to explain in detail, and only said: "This is a siege method from the Western Regions, I don't know if it can work in the Central Plains." With that, he pushed away the sulfur-smelling smoke and stepped forward to check the situation.

However, he saw that Jianchun Gate was only blown up in the place where the explosives were piled up, and the rest of the part was not touched at all. Qiu Yi was busy pushing the door hard, and there was no sign of pushing it open.

Qiu Yizhi panicked at this time, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down from his forehead and seeped all the way to under his eyebrows, stinging his eyes with a sore pain. Seeing a fire burning above the city, it seemed that the soldiers defending the city were awakened by the loud explosion, and they all came out to check the situation.

So Qiu Yizhi hurriedly ordered: "Quickly bring all the gunpowder over!" The rest of the people are all back for me! ”

When the crowd was ordered, Rama drove back, and a few others panicked and piled all the gunpowder packets at the door, but they looked at the pile of explosives that was more than half a person high, and did not know what to do next, so they just stood in place.

Seeing this, Qiu Yi shouted, "What are you doing here? How far as I can go! With that, he lit the fuse and turned and flew backwards.

Qiu Yizhi had just rushed to a low wall, and before he could bow his head to hide, he saw the pile of explosives flash, and the earth seemed to tremble, followed by a deafening "boom" explosion, and the dust raised was also rushed to his face. Qiu Yizhi was so fascinated by the dust that he couldn't open his eyes, and hurriedly lay down under the low wall and didn't dare to move, but his ears were already full of "buzzing" noises, and his nostrils were full of the choking smell of sulfur.

Although Qiu Yizhi knew that the power of this explosion would far exceed the previous one, he did not expect such an earth-shattering formation, and it took a long time before he raised his head and looked. However, the dust flying around him had not yet dissipated, and he could not exceed ten steps as far as he could see, only a few torches and the firelight from Songming behind him seemed to be swaying up and down.

Qiu Yi thought that he couldn't afford to delay the time at the moment, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and walked in the direction of Jianchun Gate. He finally touched the city gate and held Song Ming high, only to see that the wide and heavy Jianchun Gate had been half destroyed by the huge explosion just now—half of the door had been broken in half, lying on the ground, enough for a carriage to pass.

Qiu Yizhi was overjoyed when he saw this, took a deep breath and wanted to shout to the people to leave the city, but the inhaled dust instantly irritated his throat and made him cough. Helpless, Qiu Yizhi had no choice but to break through the layers of smoke and walk to the team, and shouted at the leading Yelu, Zhao Chengxiao and others: "Quick! The Jianchun Gate has been opened, get out of the city quickly! He cried out in a heart-rending voice, but he couldn't even hear his own voice clearly.

Zhao Chengxiao and Yelu's ears were also deafened by Fang Cai's loud noise, and when they saw Qiu Yizhi open his mouth, but he couldn't hear his voice clearly, they also bared their teeth and shouted at him.

Qiu Yizhi's mind was much clearer than the two of them, and seeing that they couldn't communicate like this, he simply stopped talking, rode his sweaty horse, made a gesture to move forward on the horse, and slowly walked forward.

Zhao Chengxiao and the others finally understood Qiu Yizhi's intentions, and they also got on their horses and drove to the outside of the city.

Passing through the layers of smoke and dust, and dispelling the fog, Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, finally left the capital Luoyang under the embrace of everyone.

Qiu Yizhi looked back at the tall and dark city wall of Luoyang, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but he remembered that there were still three hundred elites led by Zhang Long who were still in the city and had not left, so he immediately beckoned a few leaders to come over and discuss: "Please remember that the county lord and Brother Wei Chi will lead half of the soldiers and horses to escort the prince to the east, and I, Yelu and Zhao Chengxiao will lead the other half of the soldiers and horses back to the city to respond." ”

At this moment, the noise in everyone's ears has gradually subsided, and if you carefully distinguish it, you can hear Qiu Yizhi's deployment clearly, and as soon as you agree, you will go your own way.

Qiu Yizhi led Yelu, Zhao Chengxiao and Hu Han to re-enter Luoyang City with more than 20 horsemen.

The dust raised by the gunpowder explosion had gradually landed, and Qiu Yizhi looked into the distance, and saw a team of soldiers and horses wearing Youyan army uniforms, fighting and retreating to fight with the official army.

It turned out that Zhang Long listened to Qiu Yizhi's order, robbed two military camps nearby, and grabbed swords and weapons with one hand, but only collected less than a hundred war horses. Therefore, he also wanted to attack two more camps, so that his sergeants could at least two people and one horse, and they could leave Luoyang quickly. Unexpectedly, his action alarmed the defenders in Luoyang City, and a large group of soldiers and horses attacked from three sides, biting them to the death, unable to get out.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi greeted Zhao Chengxiao and Yelu Dao: "We will enter from the right side, first separate the official army from our army, and retreat at one touch, we can't have half a love battle, otherwise we will fall into Luoyang, I know!" ”

Yelu nodded when he heard this, but said: "This is a trivial matter, His Royal Highness He Laoyi will do it, and I will do it for you." Before the words fell, he shouted two sentences of Bohai dialect, and led more than ten Bohai knights to rush forward to kill.

Although Zhao Chengxiao was honest, he had also appreciated Yelu's heart of preservation, and led his brothers to follow Yelu and others to kill them as well.

I saw that this Biao man and horse made a graceful arc to the north, and then plunged straight into the junction of the official army and the Youyan army, like scissors in the hands of a tailor, accurately separating the two teams of men and horses.

Qiu Yizhi watched from a distance, but secretly thought in his heart: This Lu is not just a brave man, and his ability to control the cavalry is not under any famous general in the north and south. While admiring, he urged the horses to trot forward, found Zhang Long in the crowd, and shouted to him, "Zhang Long, what are you doing? Why don't you take this opportunity to lead the army to withdraw from Luoyang?! ”

Zhang Longben was immersed in leading the army to fight, and suddenly felt that the pressure in front of him was instantly reduced, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears, and he hurriedly took the time to look up, but it was Qiu Yizhi who was giving orders to him, and he also replied loudly: "No, half of the brothers here don't have war horses, I'm afraid they will be trapped in the city!" ”

Qiu Yizhi's ears had not fully recovered his hearing, Zhang Long's reply was only vague, and he thought that he was going to obey the order, so he no longer paid attention to Zhang Long, but rode on the horse and waved back vigorously, and then turned his horse and slowly left outside the city.

Yelu and Zhao Chengxiao saw Qiu Yizhi's gesture from a distance, and saw that he was already retreating outside the city, so they also hurriedly gathered the cavalry under their command, saw the opportunity to surprise for a while, and put away their troops and retreated outside the city after killing a flaw.

Seeing such a situation, Zhang Long sighed, and had no choice but to leave behind the wounded and remnant soldiers and retreat to the rear.

The official army had just suffered the loss of Yelu and Zhao Chengxiao's cavalry raid, and they couldn't react at once, and were almost exhausted Youyan people and horses got rid of the pursuit. But the officers and soldiers were outnumbered, and they were a new force, so they immediately bit it again.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly led the cavalry in person, and went around half a circle to the south, and once again assaulted the pursuing officers and soldiers. When the cavalry had withdrawn from nowhere, they were not expected to be attacked again, and finally slowed down and stopped pursuing.

Zhang Long finally took this opportunity, and under the guidance of Qiu Yizhi and others, he broke through the smoke barrier that was about to settle and left Luoyang.

At this moment, it was already dawn, and it was the time when the night was thick, and the group did not dare to delay for a moment, and they had already forgotten the strict military discipline of the Youyan Dao army. Along the way, whether they encountered horses, ploughing oxen, mules, or donkeys, as long as they could carry people on a ride, they would all be looted and requisitioned for their own use.

After a night of fighting, Qiu Yizhi was exhausted and unable to support his upper body, so he had to lie on horseback and look back at Luoyang. The capital of the Han Empire was like a black dragon lying on the horizon, and then gradually drifted away, gradually turning into a huge shadow and slowly disappearing into the night. However, the various events that happened in the capital seemed to be engraved in his mind, and he could not forget it for a long time.

Just when Qiu Yi was feeling nostalgic, Zhao Chengxiao slowly approached the horse, and said with a little joy in his tone: "Your Highness is really clever, you can rescue the prince from the prison, and lead us to escape from the capital." I think that even the storyteller's son, Yashang, and Kong Ming's sages may not have such a plan. ”

Qiu Yizhi heard this flattery, and his heart was also happy, but he frowned again and said: "Don't be too happy, we haven't escaped from yet, and there are still two big passes of Tongguan and the Yellow River to pass in front of us!" Brother Zhao, go and count the soldiers and horses and see how many soldiers and horses have escaped! ”

Zhao Chengxiao got the order, tightened the reins, counted the soldiers and horses behind him, and hurriedly went back and forth: "There was a surprise attack just now, and my men broke four brothers, and Brother Lu also lost three Bohai knights, and the elite soldiers of honor brought by the prince escaped and estimated that there were more than 100 people!" ”

Qiu Yi nodded while calculating: In this way, there are still twenty people left from Yunmeng Mountain brought by Zhao Chengxiao, and there are also fifteen Bohai cavalry under Yelu, as for the more than 100 people who escaped, I am afraid that less than half of the available troops are available. If you want to rely on these horses to break through the Tongguan in the Central Plains, it is tantamount to a fantasy.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi's spirit froze, and he hurriedly said to Zhao Chengxiao: "I'll go to chase my father-in-law first, there are important things to discuss, and you and Yelu also have to catch up at the same time, don't delay for a moment, understand?" With that, he gently pumped the sweaty BMW buttocks under his crotch.

This sweaty and bloody horse knows the master's intentions through human nature, and then spreads its four hooves and rushes forward.
