At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 25
After the Oirats withdrew to the camp, there was no movement until dark.

According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, the continuous screams could still be heard a hundred paces away from the Wala camp.

Most people shout: "My eyes, my eyes!"

It can be seen that the Wala people seldom use lime powder to sprinkle their eyes in fights. They don't know that this thing can't be wet, otherwise it will heat up and burn the eyeballs.

Thanks to the short preparation time of the Ming army, the hastily burnt lime powder had extremely low purity and limited lethality, otherwise, none of the [-] cavalry could keep their eyesight.

If this is the case, it is enough for the Wala people to have a headache.

The sky gradually darkened, and from the direction of Juyongguan, about [-] soldiers rushed to the front line under the leadership of a veteran.

Outside the gate of the camp, a garrison officer stepped forward and asked, "Is this Master Luo?"

"It's Luo!" Luo Tong got off his horse and asked eagerly, "I don't know how the battle is going ahead, is the emperor safe?"

"I just repelled Oara's attack during the day, and the emperor is waiting for you, please follow me!"

Hearing this, Luo Tong hurriedly followed and came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Veteran and deputy capital envoy Luo Tong kowtowed to the emperor!"

"The Qing family is free!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at him secretly, and saw that although this person was over sixty years old, he was tall and strong, with a pair of sharp moves, and he looked like a fierce general.

"The Qing family is free!"

Luo Tong didn't get up, but said: "The old minister came too late to save me, please punish the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "What is the crime of the Qing family?"

"The emperor personally led the army to fight against Wala Yexian. The old minister was sitting at Juyongguan, but he did not send troops to rescue in time, causing the emperor to fall into a deep danger. This is a capital crime!"

Apparently, Kuang Ye and others withdrew the civil officials and wounded soldiers to Juyongguan before Luo Tong learned about the situation on the front line.

When he heard that the emperor was besieged by the Oirat army and was on the brink of extinction, Luo Tong couldn't bear it any longer, and gathered hundreds of guards to go straight to the front line.

Speaking of which, this person is not a general, but a civil servant. He was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Yongle, and was appointed as a censor, and he was ordered to patrol Sichuan.

During his official career, this person was upright and upright, and offended many people. He was even sent to Jiaozhi thousands of miles away for confronting the emperor head-on.

In the first year of Xuande, Li Li rebelled, and Luo Tong led troops to quell the rebellion, and fled the rebels. After Emperor Xuanzong knew about it, he called him back to Beijing and was appointed as a member of the household department. Guard Juyongguan.

Zhu Qizhen's only impression of this person is that when he was transferred to the military department doctor, he went to the hall to thank him, other than that, he only saw it in the memorial.

"Being trapped in the civil fort is because my command is at a disadvantage, so what does it have to do with the Qing family?"

Luo Tong was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to admit his mistake directly, it was really uncomfortable for a while.

"Your majesty, please don't say that, I heard that it was all because of eunuch Wang Zhen's random command..."

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him and said, "I'm the commander in chief. If something goes wrong, it's a eunuch's fault. Wouldn't it make people laugh when it spread?"

Now Luo Tong can't be dealt with, you as the leader, don't you want to lose face?
I have given you a step like this, and you just put the pot on Wang Zhen's head, wouldn't it be beautiful?

"Your Majesty understands righteousness, it's really my great fortune!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and said: "Aiqing is serious, get up and speak!"

"Yes!"

Luo Tong just stood up, bowed and said: "The old minister heard from Kuang Shangshu that the emperor attacked decisively under the siege of the Oala army and defeated the prefect of Ara. I am very impressed. I don't know how the battle is going now? If you don't want to give up, the old minister is willing to be the emperor's pawn, and if you hold back first, the emperor can retreat to Juyongguan first."

Zhu Qizhen shook his head with a smile, and said: "Luo Qing's family is worrying too much, so they will stay in the camp now and dare not come out."

Hearing this, Luo Tong's face was a little confused, he just said that you can correct your mistakes and you understand righteousness, why did you blow away when you turned your head?
It has to be said that although the emperor is young, his bragging skills are quite good.

Let's start with an army of 12, and you have [-], which is equivalent to three fighting one. They are shrunk down in their hometown because of you?
What a liar!
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and the old minister thinks that the emperor should go first..."

"emperor!"

At this time, the curtain of the tent was lifted, Zhang Fu stepped in, and seeing Luo Tong, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Master Luo, long time no see!"

Luo Tong raised his head to look at Zhang Fu, then cupped his hands and said, "Prince Yingying, long time no see!"

Zhang Fu cupped his hands at him, then turned to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, are you calling me?"

"Correct!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Go and make arrangements. The Fifth Army Battalion will retreat to Juyongguan in batches. As for the specific retreat route, just go down and discuss with Luo Qing's family."

Zhang Fu asked: "Your Majesty, is this going to be withdrawn?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Because the Oirats haven't found a way to crack the lime bomb, now is the best time to evacuate."

"Okay, old minister, let's make arrangements now!"

Zhang Fu is calm and has a strong sense of the overall situation. Although the Ming army has the upper hand for a while, he is very clear that this place is not a place to stay for a long time.

Moreover, lime bombs are only suitable for defense, not for offense. After a long time, people will find a way to crack them sooner or later. The emperor is right, we should accept it as soon as it is good. Take advantage of this opportunity and withdraw quickly!

Zhang Fu and Luo Tong went down to discuss, and after an hour, they came to the main tent of the Chinese army again.

This time, Chen Ying, Chen Huai, Li Zhen and others also came.

"Your Majesty, I have already made arrangements. The first batch of evacuees consists of more than [-] people, mainly the wounded. They will leave before dawn."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Just follow the Qing family's wishes."

"emperor……"

Seeing that Zhang Fu was hesitant to speak, Zhu Qizhen said: "We wait for the monarch and ministers to kill the enemy with one heart, and we will live and die together. If there is anything that can't be said directly, we have to hesitate!"

Seeing Zhang Fu's hesitation, Luo Tong couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the Emperor be escorted by the [-] Battalion to evacuate together."

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "I'm not a wounded person, so what's the rush to retreat? If the soldiers find out, wouldn't it disturb the morale of the army?"

Zhang Fu looked at Luo Tong helplessly, as if to say: "Look, I said that the emperor can't agree."

"Your Majesty!" Luo Tong continued to insist, "My Majesty, please put the country and the country as the most important thing, and withdraw to Juyongguan first!"

"Jiangshan Sheji?" Zhu Qizhen asked suddenly, "I want to ask the Qing family, what is Jiangshan and what is Sheji?"

"Jiangshan... Sheji..."

Luo Tong suddenly hesitated, yes, he called Jiangshan Sheji every day, what is Jiangshan, what is Sheji?

"The society is the soil, and the grain is the valley. This country and the land are, it is... thousands of miles of rivers and mountains..."
