After learning the accurate news, Zhu Yixi hurriedly went back to prepare.
"Zhu Meng, how many infantrymen are left?"
Zhu Yixi asked in a deep voice.
"Sect Master, these days, the intruders are fierce. My brothers have killed and injured 1,800 people, and there are still 3,000 people left."
Zhu Meng touched his head and said sheepishly: "But don't worry, if you can survive these seven days, you can be considered half an elite."
"That's it." Zhu Yixi nodded: "Where are the defeated troops?"
At that time, the defeated troops in Ruzhou fled back to Tongguan and gathered three to four thousand people.
"Them?" Zhu Meng thought for a while and said, "Thanks to us, we gave them some food, and they simply worked hard. After defending the city, there are only about 3,000 people left."
"Two thousand, plus six thousand, plus the five hundred people from Bai Guangen, that's eight thousand and five."
Zhu Yixi calculated it and was quite happy. These 18,000 people were already considered a considerable force.
"General Doctor Zhu——"
At this time, suddenly a big man came over with a face filled with surprise and tears in his eyes:
"I'm here to join you."
"Li Jingwu?" Zhu Yixi was stunned, and immediately remembered, didn't he get off to a good start by treating this kid first? He was still a captain.
Unexpectedly, he could survive this battle.
"You can still think of me!" Li Jingwu looked touched, and then said: "General Bai said that he would send some soldiers to help you, so I volunteered to come."
"That's it!" Zhu Yixi suddenly realized. Then he remembered something and said hurriedly: "You seem to be a cavalry, right?"
"That's right!" Li Jingwu nodded and said, "I was thrown off the horse and was cured by you."
"How's your recovery going?"
"About 70% to 80%!" Li Jingwu said sheepishly: "If you run too long, your chest will hurt unbearably."
"Little problem!" Zhu Yixi patted him on the shoulder as if he had found a treasure, and laughed: "I just sent you a pillow when you fell asleep. You came in time."
"I happen to have 400 horses under my command. You can be the boss!"
"Me?" Li Jingwu was in a daze, and when he saw the other person smiling and nodding, he said happily:
"Don't worry, I promise to train a strong army for you."
"For now, you should train them to be scouts!"
Zhu Yixi shook his head and chuckled: "The current number of people are not enough to be called cavalry."
"Yes!" Li Jingwu nodded seriously, it was already quite good to have an official position.
Immediately, the two exchanged a few words and became much closer.
Zhu Yixi was also willing to hand over these hundreds of cavalry to people like Li Jingwu who knew the basics.
"You go down and prepare, and get familiar with it as soon as possible. As soon as the third watch is over, we will break camp."
Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice.
"Bring out the camp?" Zhu Meng was also really surprised, his face full of astonishment.
"That's right." Zhu Yixi whispered: "Pack your bags and leave tonight. If it's later, it will be too late."
Several people hurriedly agreed, not daring to violate it in the slightest.
The Musketeer Battalion, which is under the personal control of Zhu Yixi, is naturally no exception.
This busy work ended at night, and when preparations were in full swing, suddenly Li Jizu came to visit.
"Brother Zhu, congratulations on your promotion to guerrilla general!" Li Jizu said with a smile on his face, cupping his hands: "My little brother is here to join you."
"Brother Li, what are you doing?"
Zhu Yixi squinted her eyes and said in surprise: "You are a general, and I am just a guerrilla. How can we turn this upside down?"
"Hey, among the three thousand people under my command, except for the three to five hundred servants who came to join you, the rest were all given to the supervisor."
Li Jizu's honest face was full of trust: "I can't trust anyone else, so I only trust you."
As he spoke, his eyes were bright and he said: "In my opinion, the only way to escape is to follow you."
"Really?" Zhu Yixi smiled. Li Jizu still had some sense and knew how to follow the protagonist.
"How can it be false?" Li Jizu said solemnly: "How can Tongguan be held on these days if it's not you?"
This is true, without me, Sun Chuanting would have died long ago.
Zhu Yixi nodded and said seriously: "That's okay, but I'll say something ugly first. Since you decide to follow me, you must obey my command in all actions, and you must not violate it in the slightest."
"Of course. The consequences of disobedience are still vivid in our minds."
Li Jizu said with lingering fear.
"Then, Brother Li, go pack your bags!"
Seeing his expression, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but smile.
"You and I are now clearly distinguished from each other. Brother Li is often seen outside. Please call me your ancestor!"
Li Jizu said seriously: "In the army, one cannot mess up his identity."
"Okay, Li Jizu, go back and clean up!"
Zhu Yixi laughed dumbly.
"Yes!" Li Jizu hurriedly handed over his hands and left with a rather respectful attitude.
At this time, Zhu Yixi was rather uncomfortable.
Looking at his burly back, Zhu Yixi smiled: "I didn't expect that Li Jizu really got it. It seems that Supervisor Sun's words today scared him quite a bit!"
Sun Chuanting's attitude of "I will defend Tongguan to the death while you all run for your lives" is really scary.
If it weren't for the soldiers and horses under his command, Zhu Yixi would have been frightened.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh:
The future is uncertain. The Chuang Army, the Western Army, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty are three mountains that can really crush people to death!
"Sir, there is a visitor outside the door, saying that he is from the Supervisor."
Sun Xuan's clear voice broke Zhu Yixi's thoughts.
"Let him in!"
Zhu Yixi frowned, what's going on with the supervisor's people?
"Zhu Guerrilla!"
At this time, an elegant middle-aged man came in. Zhu Yixi saw him and hurriedly stood up to greet him:
"Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"
"Me?" Zhao Shu smiled, looking at Zhu Yixi's surprised face, he couldn't help but said: "Master Supervisor, let me bring you something."
"But, come to think of it, I don't need it anymore."
"Huh?" Zhu Yixi couldn't understand this meaningless sentence.
"Hey, it's about you withdrawing the troops overnight."
Seeing that he was a little confused, Zhao Shu chuckled and said: "The supervisor is afraid that you will follow the rules and really leave at midnight the day after tomorrow. I just took a look and saw that your army is organized neatly. I'm afraid you will leave tonight!"
"Hey!" Zhu Yixi had no choice but to respond with a smile.
"It seems like it's only two days, but the difference is huge."
Zhao Shu chuckled and said: "The intruders are well-informed. There were many people in the past, so there will definitely be someone who will reveal the information."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for the reminder." Zhu Yixi hurriedly cupped her hands.
"It doesn't matter, this is what I should do. The other three generals have also notified them one by one."
Zhao Shu waved his hand and said in a friendly manner: "Zhu Youyi, I have something to ask of you."
"Huh?" Zhu Yixi was stunned and said: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely help."
Looking at the Buddha without looking at the monk's face, Sun Chuanting's staff is definitely worthy of being included.
"Okay!" Zhao Shu smiled casually, tilted his head and asked, "I wonder, Zhu Youyi, do you need someone in your army who can give advice and praise paintings?"
