Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 161 Encirclement and reinforcements
Outside the city of Lunduo, millions of death-level skeleton soldiers have arrived at the city, forming a long line to surround the entire city of Lunduo, and cannons of all sizes have been quickly put into place.

In the city of Lunduo, looking at the millions of undead souls surrounding the city, Archduke Williams shouted that he would live and die with the city, and would fight to the last soldier to protect the queen. He mobilized all the people who could be mobilized in the city, regardless of gender, age or status. Anyone who could go to the battlefield had been mobilized, and even the older children were assigned the task of carrying supplies.

At this time, on the main roads leading to the city and the dug positions, the soldiers and mobilized civilians were extremely nervous. Everyone knew now that their enemies were not humans, but skeleton demons. They also knew that there were as many as one million enemies, while all the soldiers and civilians in the city added up to only more than 500,000.

No one knew that they could not survive this disaster, but they also knew that the hope of survival was slim.

"Lord, please let my son live!"

"Lord, please let my daughter live."

"Lord, please bless me~"

On the battlefield, an old lady in her sixties kept praying. Every time she prayed, she made the sign of the cross with her hands on her chest.

There were many other people who were also praying. Almost three-quarters of the people on the battlefield were praying. At this moment, they were extremely pious and hoped to be saved by God.

In the undead positions outside the city, the artillery has been in place, and the surrounding dead skeletons are constantly carrying large and small artillery shells, making final preparations.

"fire!"

On the battle front, with the shouts of artillery fire, the death skeletons immediately fired shells into the prosperous city ahead.

For a moment, there was a continuous rumbling sound of cannons, with thousands of cannons firing at the same time.

Artillery shells of all sizes whizzed towards the defensive positions outside Lunduo City.

Amid the thick smoke from the burning primer, the Black Iron Skeletons quickly operated the new and old cannons to reload, add new primer shells, and then fire again.

For a moment, flames continued to flicker on the edge of Lunduo City, and the rumbling sound of explosions did not stop for a second.

~~~
In the position outside Lunduo City, as the shells continued to fall, the civilian soldiers who were still praying suddenly became chaotic as they looked around at the people around them who were killed by the shells. Some ran away with their heads in their hands, some knelt on the ground and cried, and some wailed and prayed.

Some people even ran out of their positions in panic and ran towards the city, becoming deserters.

After all, most of these people are just civilians. They are good at abusing slaves, but when it comes to fighting on the battlefield, they are completely like rats.

"Keep quiet, just huddle in your trenches with your mouths open."

"Don't go out, the shrapnel will chop your heads off!"

In the trenches, looking at the civilians and recruits running around, the experienced veterans kept shouting, and even grabbed the panicked people and beat them up, trying to quickly calm the soldiers down.

At the veterans' calls, some civilians did as they were told, while others became confused and even more panicked.

As for those who were even more panicked, the veterans had no time to take care of them, and just quickly reminded more people. They had to wait until everyone was reminded before they had time to take care of these panicked people, provided that they were still alive at that time.

At the same time, facing the shells that continued to fall into the positions, the artillery in the city began to fight back.

For a while, the sound of cannon fire continued to be heard in the city.

Although Lunduo City is not a coastal city and does not have that many cannons, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in the city, and there are more than 300 cannons in total, and they are all newly deployed military cannons, which are more advanced than the old-fashioned cannons, naval guns, and coastal defense guns removed from the ships by the undead.

Although their number could not match the thousands of cannons outside the city, their firing frequency was much faster than those old-fashioned cannons. For a while, the artillery battle between the two sides was evenly matched.

However, when the shells fell and exploded, shrapnel flew everywhere. If the pirates were hit by shrapnel, they would be disabled if not killed. But if the undead skeletons were hit by shells, as long as their skulls were not cut off and their souls were not blasted out, they would recover quickly. Although both sides were evenly matched, the casualties were very different.

"Not launching an attack?"

Seeing that millions of undead were just surrounding Lunduo City and bombarding it, the royal zombie couldn't help but ask Zhang Si in confusion.

When Fusu left, he was specially strengthened. During his lifetime, he was a member of the royal family of the frontier and was in charge of the army. Naturally, he was very clear about the current situation.

They have an absolute advantage in military strength, and the skeleton-like undead are difficult to be completely eliminated, so it is not a problem to capture the city ahead in one go, and the loss will not exceed 30. On the contrary, if they continue to waste time, not to mention the loss, they may suffer greater losses.

"No, the queen and the royal family of the pirate country are all in the city ahead. I want to surround it and attack the reinforcements!" Zhang Si said firmly. Zhang Si was naturally looking forward to revenge, but her goal was not just to destroy one or two cities. She wanted to completely destroy the country.

"That's a good strategy!" The Royal Zombie nodded.

Besiege the enemy and attack the reinforcements, eliminate the young and strong main forces in other cities, and then transform them into undead, so that the later battles can be smoother and you can have more advantages in facing the surrounding countries.

~~~
"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up and assemble!"

"Bring all your weapons!"

"Son, you must come back alive this time."

"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue our parents!"

In Haina City, 80 kilometers away from Lunduo City, a large number of troops are gathering. No, it is not accurate to say that it is an army, it should be said that a large number of soldiers and civilians are gathering.

The news has come that Lunduo City is besieged by millions of demons. This is the biggest crisis their country has faced since its founding.

At the call of the Count of Suits, the soldiers in the city and the strong men who were able to take up arms and fight began to gather with their weapons, intending to rescue Lunduo City, the Queen and their relatives in the city.

Many of the civilians came voluntarily with their own guns, and there were even some women.

Watching their loved ones leaving, the women, the elderly and the weak who stayed behind clasped their hands together and began to pray for these loved ones.

At the same time, a similar situation occurred in several other cities that were competing with Lunduo City.

Even on the other two islands farther away, the entire nation had already been mobilized. Large numbers of soldiers and civilians boarded large and small ships and began to head towards the British Isles with artillery weapons.

~~~
"Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

"Hide those things!"

"It's time for us to take revenge!"

At the same time, around Lunduo City, the undead were also quickly setting up defenses.

Of course, the undead did not set up trenches. After all, they did not have so many guns and artillery. Although they seized a large number of weapons from Coast City, there were only more than 200,000 guns and more than a thousand artillery pieces, all of which were concentrated in the siege of Lunduo City. What they wanted to set up was an ambush.

Only by destroying the enemies coming to support them can they obtain more weapons.
