Zhu Qizhen gave an order, and part of the Shenji Battalion and the Wai Executioner Battalion and the 12th Battalion of the Fifth Army Battalion immediately marched to Tumu Fort, preparing to build fortifications in the local area to block the Wara army.
Zhu Qizhen gathered the remaining army, withdrew from Leijia Station in a combat queue, and prepared to go to Tumubao to garrison.
Due to Zhu Qizhen's constant urging, it only took an hour for the army to assemble and pack up everything, but Ji Ling's chest kept pounding, as if he felt that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, the front army of Warat appeared at Mayukou, and the flank troops were attacked!"
Jing Sheng has been on patrol duty for the past two days, so when his command found an abnormal situation, he immediately rushed to report to Zhu Qizhen.
"What?
Mayukou?
Isn't that already close?
Zhu Qizhen poked his head out of the carriage, as if he had become a frightened bird, "How is the situation now?"
” "Their number is not large, it should be just a temptation, there are now desperate resistance from the people of the Yiyi Battalion, Your Majesty should quickly retreat to Tumu Fort!"
"Alas!"
Zhu Qizhen patted the carriage hatefully, and then shouted, "Stop!"
Stop!
” Ji Ling thought that Zhu Qizhen was going to produce some moths again, but he quickly jumped out of the carriage and said, "Pass the order, except for weapons, grain and grass, everything else will be discarded, and the army will immediately advance at full speed!"
” "Sir, abandon this broken carriage!
Troublesome and time-consuming!
Zhu Qizhen said, then pointed to a few military attaches next to him and said, "A few of you, unload these six horses, one for each of them, hurry up!"
” Wang Zhen saw that Zhu Qizhen was going to discard this royal carriage, and his face couldn't help but feel a little pity, "Your Majesty, the contents of this carriage ......"
"Don't!
Throw them all away!
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand angrily, "When is it, I can't bear these things!"
” "It's okay, otherwise this carriage is too dazzling, and it is indeed dangerous......"
Wang Zhen supported Zhu Qizhen and comforted himself on the side, "Then Your Majesty......
Your Majesty, how is it going?
” "I'm riding!
It's not like I can't ride a horse!
Zhu Qizhen said, and was helped by someone to ride a war horse, "Sir, you go to the carriage of the British Duke first!"
Tell those ministers to throw away all the useless things, and if anyone delays the march with all sorts of things, I will not spare him!
” Zhu Qizhen said, and raised his horsewhip, which looked like a good look, "When I was fighting, I had an awareness, and when I got to the civil fort, I slept directly on the ground without a cover, and if I couldn't sleep, I came to my side and watched me sleep on the ground!"
” Wang Zhen knew that Zhu Qizhen was really moving, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to answer yes, and then rushed to Zhang Fu's car in a gloomy manner.
Ji Ling looked at Wan Hong'er, who was standing in place and was a little at a loss, so he stretched out his hand to her and said, "Your Majesty, let the minister take her!"
” "Don't, you're delaying things with her too much, I still want you to protect me from the side!"
Zhu Qizhen said, and glanced at Wan Hong'er, who was staring at him blankly, "Hong'er, you follow Mr. to drive in the British car!"
” "Yes, Your Majesty."
At this time, Wan Hong'er's identity as a girl has been undoubtedly exposed, but there seems to be no need to cover it up, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body." ” After Wan Hong'er saluted, she turned around and went to the carriage group next to her, but she couldn't tell which was Zhang Fu's car, and in the end, it was Wang Zuo, the head of the household, who was kind enough to call her into her carriage, and then asked Kuang Ye and Wang Wen to make do with a carriage.
At this time, Zhu Qizhen didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly whipped and continued to march, while Ji Ling and Fan Zhong were tightly guarding Zhu Qizhen's side in case of accidents.
Leijia Station is not far from Tumubao, and it is only thirty or forty miles away, and it can be reached in two or three hours by walking, but now that the situation is critical, Zhu Qizhen and the entire army can't wait to put on their wings and fly over.
What's even more infuriating is that the Warat people were not willing to leave it to the Ming army for even two or three hours, and soon they broke through the defense line of Mayukou and killed them directly with great momentum.
Although the army still maintained its formation at this time, many people had no will to fight: they only wanted to escape to the civil fort as soon as possible, and whether they could save their lives on the civil fort was another matter.
And the cavalry team of Warat has a great impact advantage, and the cavalry strength of the Ming army is not much, so it can only rely on the Shenji battalion to resist for a while, and then let the infantry of the five army battalions form a formation to block, which is really difficult.
But this did buy a lot of time for the Chinese army where Zhu Qizhen was located, so that they came to the civil fort very smoothly.
However, because there were still many infantry that did not come over, Ji Ling and the others had to lead the few cavalry to continue to return to organize the formation, and at the same time let the soldiers on the civil fort speed up the construction of trenches.
At this time, under the onslaught of the Warat army, the ranks in many places were already in disarray, and the subordinate generals did not know where to run, and they could not organize an effective defense.
Therefore, Ji Ling and Jing Sheng had to lead their men and horses to rush to the front and confront the large army of Warat, so as to buy time for the retreating soldiers.
"Ji Ling, I can't stand it here!"

At this time, Jing Sheng and Ji Ling got closer and closer, and the situation became more and more critical, "The sky is starting to get dark, and Warat doesn't dare to act rashly, let's quickly withdraw at this time, otherwise the road will not be clear for a while, and it will be too late!"
” "Good!"
Ji Ling also didn't want to sacrifice his life for the country stupidly, it was naturally best to survive, "You lead a group of men and horses around the flank, as a suspicious soldier, I will also take the opportunity to withdraw in a while!"
” "Okay, be careful!"
Jing Sheng didn't have time to argue with Ji Ling about who was the queen at this time, but he just executed it quickly according to the arrangement, but fortunately, the Wara people were afraid of the numerical advantage of the Ming army, and they didn't dare to advance too quickly for a while, so Ji Ling and the others finally retreated to the civil fort smoothly.
There were still some scattered Ming troops running up below, and Ji Ling, who was standing on the high ground, didn't have time to care about them anymore, but just ordered the soldiers guarding the fence to be sure to guard it, and as long as there were Warat people approaching, they would all be shot!
Who knew that at this moment, Ji Ling suddenly saw a thin figure running here, and beckoning while running, she was not wearing a military uniform like everyone else, she looked so dazzling, it was Wan Hong'er!
How could she be left behind?
Ji Ling was surprised for a while, what he didn't know was that Wang Zuo's car was scattered in the chaos, Wang Zuo himself was lost, and as for Wan Hong'er, naturally no one cared about her.
The weak Wan Hong'er became an outcast in this way, she could only run together in the direction of the flow of people, but she had no strength and no one to help, so she fell to the back......
