"Vice-Commander Zhu, if we recruit new soldiers right now, how many can we recruit?" Ye Xiao frowned.
"Close to none." Zhu Chenggong lowered his head like a rooster who lost its fight. He despondently spoke, "We have never stopped trying to recruit more soldiers in the recent half year in order to defend against Wenren Jianyin. After Commander Wu died and since we arrived here, we have gone out for recruitment three times. There are no adult men within a hundred miles to join us…"
Ye Xiao and Song Jue understood before he finished.
No more!
No more strong men.
"What if we try our best holding it here and wait for supports from the kingdom?" Song Jue frowned and asked.
Ye Xiao and Zhu Chenggong both bitterly smiled.
Kingdom of Chen had sent every man up to the battle. Even royal guards had joined the west. There was no more support from the kingdom. If there was anybody else, they wouldn’t let Ye Xiao to lead the army.
