Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 14: The Pass Opens

On the grassland in the early morning, An Liuhe'er and his tribesmen were rushing on the road desperately, and both the people and horses were overdrawn.

After continuous traveling and without rest at night, all the Huns were exhausted to the extreme. Many of them even fell asleep on their horses, and even many horses fell down due to exhaustion.

But despite this, An Liuhe'er did not order to stop. Instead, he tied the people to the horses with ropes and continued to move forward. He ate and drank on the horses. As long as the horses could still move, he would never stop.

At this point, An Liuhe'er finally spoke about the undead.

The Huns, who had only obeyed Anliu Heer's orders because they trusted him, still had complaints. But after learning the truth, they finally understood what they were going through, and the complaints in their hearts finally disappeared. No one mentioned rest anymore.

Because the undead don't need rest.

A beautiful Xiongnu woman with a tired face came to An Liuhe'er and said with a sad face: "Ah, grandma just passed away."

"Oh mother! I am such an unfilial child!"

Hearing this, the exhausted An Liuhe'er was stunned for a moment, wailing to the sky, tears streaming down her face.

After traveling day and night, these young men are overdrawing their bodies and spirits, not to mention the elderly in the team.

"Chief, why don't you stop and rest for a while!"

A Hun at the side whispered a suggestion.

"No, keep going! Never stop if you can!"

However, An Liuhe'er shook his head firmly.

"The undead are coming! There are tens of thousands of them! They are charging all the time!"

Suddenly, a Hun came hurriedly on horseback from behind, his face full of fear.

Hearing this, An Liuhe'er's face suddenly changed, and he immediately ordered: "Immediately let the young men take the children away and go to Qin. Only by going to Qin can they survive. The rest of you stay with me and form a battle line."

After giving the order, An Liuheer looked at his daughter reluctantly and said, "Helan, follow them and leave quickly. Come on, take good care of your brother."

After saying that, An Liuhe'er immediately rode his horse and led the warriors of the tribe to form a defense line.

The old men on the carriages also got off, holding their weapons, ready to end their lives in battle.

"Ada, you must stay alive!"

Looking at his father, Anliuhelan shed tears, and rode away on horseback with his younger brother and the young men of the tribe.

"Xilulu!"

On the grassland, An Liuhe'er led the middle-aged and elderly people of the tribe to line up and wait, but before the undead cavalry arrived, their horses began to neigh.

Seeing this, the Huns hurriedly calmed their war horses.

"Release the horses and meet the enemy on foot!"

Seeing this, An Liuhe'er realized that most of these war horses could not face the undead, so he immediately gave orders.

The Huns dismounted, untied the saddles and reins of their horses, and let the horses that had accompanied them for many years go. They held swords and looked resolutely in the direction of the Undead Mountains, waiting for the last battle of their lives.

After a while, they saw the charging Undead Cavalry from afar.

There were so many of them that it seemed as if they were covering the sky and the earth. At this moment, the wind became cold and even the sunlight became dim.

Outside Yiqiu Pass.

The next day, the Huns outside the pass became more anxious.

On the third day, some of the Xiongnu outside the pass even threatened that if the pass was not opened, they would fight their way in and surrender at all costs. That's right, fight their way in first, then surrender.

Because the Huns knew that they only had 60,000 people, more than half of whom were women, old and weak, and unable to continue, so it was impossible for them to defeat the Qin Dynasty. But now it was two days past the deadline, and the Lich King's army of the dead could come at any time. When the Lich King's army came, everyone would die.

If they break in and then surrender, they still have a chance to survive.

That's why there is such a saying.

Even the leaders of a number of Xiongnu tribes have been discussing the feasibility and seem to be ready to implement this idea.

When Meng Wu heard these words, he was stunned.

It was the first time he heard that breaking through the pass was for the purpose of surrendering.

Of course, despite being surprised, Meng Wu still went to the city wall as soon as possible to personally check and arrange the city defense to prevent the Huns from attacking the city.

"General Meng, please be kind and open the switch! At least just let those kids in first! Those kids are not a threat!"

The Xiongnu envoys were still begging Meng Wu.

It was already two days past the deadline, and he knew that he had little time left, only until tomorrow. If the gate was not opened tomorrow, the sixty to seventy thousand people outside the city would die. At least he had to let the child in first.

"No..." Looking at this annoying Hun envoy, Meng Wu was about to say that the switch must not be opened without the king's order.

"Report!"

At this moment, a messenger came hurriedly. He knelt on one knee in front of Meng Wu, holding a secret letter in both hands, and said: "General Meng, the king's handwritten order!"

Hearing this, An Shige Diaomao was so excited that he almost went to grab it. Finally, he got what he had been waiting for.

Under the expectant and praying gazes of the Hun envoys, Meng Wu hurriedly took the secret letter scroll, opened the mechanism, took out the cloth inside and began to read it. After reading it, a look of surprise appeared on Meng Wu's face.

At this moment, all the Hun envoys were extremely nervous. They were expecting an order to turn on the switch, not just an order to summon the envoys.

Seeing the Xiongnu envoys so nervous, Meng Wu smiled and said to An Shi Ge Diaomao with a smile: "The king has issued a handwritten order. The gate can be opened, but the Xiongnu outside the city must put down all weapons, obey the command, and enter the pass in batches with empty hands, children first, and the elderly second. After entering the city, you are all Qin citizens and must abide by Qin laws, respect Qin laws, and serve the King of Qin. You should also prepare yourself and set off tomorrow to meet my king."

"No problem, as long as we can get through, we can do whatever we want!"

An Shige Diaomao was so excited that he immediately made a promise.

"Have the people outside the city gather their weapons on the right side of the pass, and then retreat three miles. Only one hundred people can enter the pass at a time."

Meng Wu said immediately.

According to normal procedures, Zulong would first summon the Hun envoy before issuing an order on whether to open the gate.

But at this time the Huns were so eager to enter the pass that they even sent cattle, sheep and horses from the entire Hetao Plain. These cattle, sheep and horses were too important for the Qin State. They also wanted to take back the Hetao area, so they wanted to swallow it up even if it was risky.

This is how the commands that can be turned on and off are now available.

----------

"Ready to switch, ready to switch!"

Outside the city, the news that the pass was about to open spread quickly, and the Hun leaders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he followed Meng Wu's instructions and honestly concentrated all the weapons on the right side of the pass. He led the tribesmen to retreat three miles, and organized the children to enter the city first in groups of 100.

Meng Wu also made quick arrangements in the city. After strict inspection and confirmation that the Huns who entered the city were unarmed, they were immediately assigned to different places behind Yiqiu City and guarded by soldiers.

After making some arrangements, Meng Wu was confident that even if the Huns suddenly rose up, they would not be able to cause any waves.
