After the Wara people withdrew to the camp, there was no movement until dark.
According to information from Jin Yiwei's investigation, continuous screams can still be heard a hundred steps away from the Wala camp.
What most people shout is: "My eyes, my eyes!"
It can be seen that the Wala people rarely sprinkle lime powder on their eyes when fighting. I don’t know that this thing cannot be touched with water, otherwise it will generate heat and burn the eyeballs.
Thanks to the Ming army's hasty preparation time, the hastily fired lime powder had extremely low purity and limited lethality. Otherwise, the eyes of the 20,000 cavalrymen would not have been saved.
Even if this is the case, it is enough to give the Wala people a headache.
The sky gradually darkened. From the direction of Juyongguan, about 500 soldiers rushed to the front line under the leadership of a veteran general.
Outside the camp gate, a garrison officer came forward and asked: "Is this Mr. Luo?"
"It's Luo!" Luo Tong got off his horse and asked eagerly, "I wonder how the battle is going ahead. Is the emperor okay?"
"We just repelled Wala's attack during the day. The emperor is waiting for you. Please follow me!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tong hurriedly followed and arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
"Veteran Deputy Chief of Staff Luo Tong comes to see the Emperor!"
"No gifts for the Qing family!"
Zhu Qizhen looked around secretly and saw that although this man was already over sixty years old, he was tall, strong and strong with age, and he looked like a fierce general with a pair of sharp moves.
"No gifts for the Qing family!"
However, Luo Tong did not get up, but said: "Old minister, it is too late to save me, please punish me!"
Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "What crime does the Qing family have?"
"The emperor personally led an army to fight against Wala Yexian. The veteran minister was stationed at Juyongguan but failed to send troops to rescue him in time, which put the emperor in deep danger. This is a capital crime!"
Obviously, it was only after Kuang Ye and others withdrew the civil servants and wounded soldiers to Juyong Pass that Luo Tong learned about the battle situation on the front line.
When he heard that the emperor was besieged by the Ola army in Tumu Fort and was in an almost desperate situation, Luo Tong could no longer bear it and summoned hundreds of people guarding the gate to go straight to the front line.
Speaking of which, this person is not a military commander, but a civil servant. He was a Jinshi in the 10th year of Yongle. He was appointed as the censor and was ordered to patrol Sichuan.
During his tenure as an official, this man was honest and upright, and offended many people. He was even sent to Jiaozhi, thousands of miles away, for confronting the emperor.
In the first year of Xuande, Li Li rebelled. Luo Tong led troops to quell the rebellion, and defeated the rebels. When Emperor Xuanzong found out, he called him back to the capital and was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In the early years of Zhengtong, he was promoted to a doctor in the Ministry of War.
Guard Juyongguan.
Zhu Qizhen's only impression of this person was that when he was transferred to the Ministry of War as a doctor, he went to the palace to thank him. Other than that, he had only seen him in memorials.
"I am trapped in the civil fort because my command was not good. What does it have to do with the Qing family?"
Luo Tong was startled. He didn't expect the emperor to admit his mistake directly. This was really uncomfortable for him for a moment.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. When I heard this, it was all because of eunuch Wang Zhen's random command..."
Zhu Qizhen interrupted him and said: "I am the coach. If something goes wrong, it will be blamed on a eunuch. If this is spread, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"
Luo Tong can’t be punished now. As a leader, don’t you want to lose face?
I've given you such steps, so you just slap the pot on Wang Zhen's head. Isn't it beautiful?
"The emperor understands the great righteousness, which is really my blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "My love, your words are serious, get up and speak!"
"Yes!"
Luo Tong then stood up and bowed and said: "I heard from Kuang Shangshu that the emperor decisively attacked and defeated Alazhiyuan under the siege of the Wala army. I was very impressed. I wonder what the current situation is like? If you hurry up first,
If you are not willing to give up, I am willing to serve as the emperor's vanguard and hold you back first. The emperor can retreat to Juyong Pass first."
Zhu Qizhen smiled and shook his head and said: "The Luo Qing family is too worried. They are huddled in the camp and dare not come out."
When Luo Tong heard this, his face was a little confused. He just said that you knew your mistakes and could correct them, and you understood the righteousness. Why did you blow it away as soon as you turned around?
I have to say that although the emperor is young, his bragging skills are still quite good.
Let's start with an army of 120,000. You have 40,000, which is equivalent to three fighting one. You will beat them to the point where they can't come out?
What a liar!
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I think the emperor should go first..."
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, the tent curtain was lifted, and Zhang Fu stepped in. When he saw Luo Tong, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Master Luo, long time no see!"
Luo Tong raised his head and looked at Zhang Fu, then he cupped his hands and said, "Long time no see, Mr. British!"
Zhang Fu cupped his hands at him, then turned to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, are you calling me?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Go and make arrangements. The fifth military camp will withdraw to Juyong Pass in batches. Regarding the specific retreat route, just go down and discuss with Luo Qing's family."
Zhang Fu asked: "Your Majesty, are we about to withdraw?"
Zhu Qizhen said: "Before the Oara people find a way to break the lime bomb, now is the best time to evacuate."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now!"
Zhang Fu is a calm man and has a strong sense of the overall situation. Although the Ming army had the upper hand for a while, he knew very well that this was not a place where he would stay for a long time. Who could afford to make a mistake if the emperor had a body worth thousands of gold? p>
Moreover, lime bombs are only suitable for defense, not for offense. As time goes by, people will find a way to crack it sooner or later. The emperor is right, it is better to stop when it is good and take advantage of this opportunity to retreat quickly!
Zhang Fu and Luo Tong went down to discuss, and an hour later, they came to the Chinese army's tent 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, totaling more than 5,000 people, mainly the wounded, will leave before dawn."
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Just do what the Qing family wants."
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing that Zhang Fu was hesitant to speak, Zhu Qizhen said: "We, the monarch and his ministers, are united in killing the enemy and sharing life and death. If there is something that I cannot say directly, I will still hesitate!"
Seeing Zhang Fu's hesitation, Luo Tong couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the Three Thousand Battalions escort the Emperor and evacuate together."
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said: "I am not a wounded soldier, so why are I in such a hurry to retreat? If the soldiers knew about it, wouldn't it mess up the morale of the army?"
Zhang Fu glanced at Luo Tong helplessly, as if to say: Look, I said the emperor would never agree to it.
"Your Majesty!" Luo Tong continued to insist, "Your Majesty, please put the country and the country first and withdraw from Juyong Pass first!"
"Jiangshan Sheji?" Zhu Qizhen suddenly asked, "I want to ask your family, what is Jiangshan and what is Sheji?"
"Jiangshan...Sheji..."
Luo Tong suddenly hesitated, yes, he shouted Jiangshan Sheji every day, what is Jiangshan, what is Sheji?
"She is the soil, and the rice is the valley. The country and the country are... thousands of miles of rivers and mountains..."
