Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 17: Millions of Undead Souls Detain Qin Bian

In the dark night at Yiqiu City Pass, the flames illuminated the entire pass. The burning bonfire dared not be extinguished at any time, keeping the boiling oil in the pot boiling.

Meng Wu and his soldiers slept on the city wall in their armor, never leaving their weapons behind and not daring to be careless in the slightest.

All this was because the 200,000 undead cavalry were only three miles away from the Yiqiu city gate. If they launched a charge, it would only take a hundred breaths (five minutes) to reach the city.

"General, General, the enemy reinforcements are coming!"

At midnight, Meng Wu, who was sleeping against the wall in his armor, was hastily woken up by his deputy general.

At this time, many people on the city wall had woken up and were making a lot of noise.

"What? Is the enemy attacking?"

Meng Wu, who had just woken up, spoke nervously and immediately stood up to look outside the pass.

Five miles northeast of the pass, dense blue flames formed a winding blue ribbon, quietly lurking on the grassland outside the pass, without any movement.

Meng Wu knew that it was the fire in the eyes of the undead.

"They didn't attack!"

After observation, Meng Wu looked at the deputy general in confusion.

"General, it's over there! Enemy reinforcements!"

The deputy general pointed to the northwest direction of the pass and said with an extremely solemn expression.

Meng Wu looked over quickly and saw that in the northwest direction of the pass, blue flames were spreading like a glowing wave. The number was so huge that it was no less than that in the northeast direction.

"."

After just one glance, Meng Wu fell silent.

At the same time, almost all the soldiers on the city wall woke up, looking at the blue wave spreading from the northwest in silence.

There are 200,000 undead cavalrymen staying in the northeast, so the number of undead coming from the west is at least 200,000. Adding them together, there are at least 400,000!
"General, what should we do now?"

The deputy general asked Meng Wu.

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Strengthen the guard, boost the morale of the soldiers, and mobilize the people to speed up the storage of supplies for the defense of the city! Make more slingshots."

Meng Wu said seriously.

Faced with these ghosts, the soldiers' morale was already low, and they didn't know how strong the enemy was. Now that so many undead came to reinforce, it would be best not to fight.

----------

Five days later, Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.

Zulong was reviewing memorials until midnight when an urgent report from Yiqiu was delivered.

"Undead, the Lich King is Fusu, a cavalry of 200,000 dead and skeletons! What on earth happened to this rebellious son! Could it be that what was written on the cloth was true?"

After reading the urgent report, Zulong frowned.

He thought that the content on the cloth left by Fusu was just to make him angry, but now it seems that the content on the cloth was not entirely meant to make him angry.

"This rebellious son is quite... Does this rebellious son want to attack the border of my Qin State? Do you think I can be threatened by a rebellious son like you?"

Zulong even felt a little relieved at first. After a while, Zulong reacted and angrily smashed the bamboo slips in his hand to the ground, wishing he could draw his sword and chop someone right away.

Two hundred thousand undead cavalrymen are approaching, this is clearly a threat to him as their father!

The next day, Zulong sent 200,000 troops to reinforce Yiqiu in the court. The leader was Nei Shiteng, who had just made great contributions in the war to destroy Han.

At Yiqiu Pass, on the city gate tower, Meng Wu looked at the dense swarms of undead outside the pass and didn't want to say a word anymore.

Calculating the time, the urgent report for help has probably just been delivered to Xianyang! Your Majesty can only send 200,000 troops to help, which will take at least thirteen to fifteen days.

But now, in just five days, the number of undead outside the pass has increased to a million, including mammoth cavalry and giant undead that can be seen clearly from a long distance. The two together are fifty or six feet tall.

Meng Wu did not dare to think about how long it would take for the enemy to break through the pass once they attacked. It should not take more than a few days! After all, the wall of Yiqu was only 36 inches (about 8 meters) high, not as high as the mammoth cavalry. The possibility of holding out until reinforcements arrived was very small.

The soldiers in the pass were also dejected. Before, the enemy was only twice as many as theirs, and there were no troops that looked very powerful, so the soldiers still had the courage to fight.

But now, the number of enemies is five times that of the soldiers in the pass, which is more than the number of soldiers and civilians in the city combined. There are also mammoth cavalry and giant undead that look very powerful. The soldiers and civilians in the pass have become completely pessimistic.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that the enemy has no plans to attack yet.

"General Meng, there's something going on over there!"

The deputy general beside Meng Wu suddenly spoke to Meng Wu, pointing his finger towards due north.

When Meng Wu heard this, he looked and saw a group of undead cavalrymen riding towards him from the north, holding flags in their hands.

"That Lich King must be here! Let the soldiers cheer up."

Upon seeing this, Meng Wu gave an order to his deputy general, then tidied his appearance, stood at the city gate, and waited for the arrival of the team of undead cavalry in the distance.

After a while, Sang Biao led a team of death knights to the city gate.

"Stop! Tell us your purpose!" Looking at the undead cavalry at the city gate, Meng Wu stood at the city gate and asked loudly.

Upon hearing this, Sang Biao immediately shouted to Meng Wu above: "My Lord, the Lich King, has come to visit the Qin State! We have arrived today, please open the gate!"

Hearing this, Meng Wu immediately asked, "Are you here to visit me or to check on me?"

Sang Biao also immediately replied: "We have chased the Xiongnu here and have no intention of violating the border or blocking the pass!"

Meng Wu immediately said: "This is the territory of the Great Qin. Since you have no intention of violating the border, please withdraw your troops!"

Sang Biao also said immediately: "Without the order of the Lich King, it is difficult to withdraw the troops! Please turn on the switch!"

Meng Wu also said immediately: "I have not received the king's order, so I am sorry that I cannot open the door!"

Seeing that the conversation between the two sides was about to become awkward, Deputy General Zhang Tang quickly leaned over to Meng Wu's ear and whispered, "General, the reinforcements have not arrived yet, so we should delay them first! Let's meet the Lich King first to see if he is the eldest son Fusu!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, Meng Wu nodded slightly and shouted to Sang Biao outside the city gate: "The last time your envoy came, he said that your Lich King was my Great Qin's eldest son Fusu. Is that true?"

Sang Biao immediately said: "Of course it's true!"

Meng Wu bowed to the people below and said, "Then please invite the Lich King to come and see us!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Sang Biao's voice suddenly rose eight degrees, and he said angrily: "My master is the king, and you are just a general guarding the pass. You don't go to see my master, but let my master come to see you. Moreover, my master is the eldest son of the Qin State, so it is you who should go to see him!"

"That makes sense!" Meng Wu pondered for a moment and looked at his deputy general Zhang Tang beside him.

Negotiation is undoubtedly the best way to delay time.

(｀Д)!!
Seeing Meng Wu's gaze, Zhang Tang was startled and quickly covered his stomach and said, "General, I feel sick today. If I serve as an envoy, I'm afraid it will bring shame to the Qin State. Besides, I'm a military general, and I can't be as eloquent as those counselors!"

Meng Wu: “.”

Meng Wu turned to Sang Biao in the city and said, "Excuse me, envoy. Please go back first. I will send someone to visit the Lich King later!"
