Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 42 Dunhuang Battle 1
"The enemy is so powerful and aggressive. Aren't you afraid that after the Great Yue clan is destroyed, you will be the next one to be destroyed? Or do you think that the enemy is mobilizing so many troops just to destroy the Great Yue clan?"

Looking at the people who were about to leave, the Queen of Dayuezhi said confidently.

If it was before, she was really afraid that these people would get the news and be afraid to come. After all, the enemy was so strong that even if the twenty-three countries in the Western Regions were tied together, it would be difficult to resist.

But now it's too late even if they want to withdraw their troops.

Upon hearing the words of the Queen of Dayuezhi, the Queen of Jingjue and all the commanders stopped in their tracks.

Indeed, the enemy's huge army was more than enough to destroy Dayuezhi, and their appetite would certainly not be limited to that.

This is also the reason why they came to support, they also know the principle of lips and teeth being cold.

However, the enemy was much stronger than the Yuezhi Queen had said. Even if they united, they would still find it difficult to resist.

If they had received the real news before they came, they would have made other plans. But now that they were here and the enemy was here too, it was obviously too late to make other plans.

Seeing everyone stop, the Queen of Yuezhi said again: "I will tell you the truth. The enemies outside the city are undead. They can march day and night without stopping. There are more than 800,000 of them. In addition, there are more than 80,000 Xiongnu who are good at riding and shooting. Do you think it is too late for you to withdraw now? Or do you dare to withdraw now?"

"."

Upon hearing this, the Queen of Jingjue and all the commanders gritted their teeth and remained silent.

Now that they knew the enemy's situation, they really didn't dare to withdraw. Not to mention whether the marching speed of the undead was real or not, just the fact that the Huns were good at riding and shooting made them very wary.

Without the support of the city, withdrawing troops out of the city would only lead to being surrounded and suppressed by the enemy.

The Queen of Jingjue said unhappily, "Old woman Yue, just say what you want to say!"

"You are still the most energetic girl in your twenties. I am old and just want to keep the Great Yuezhi alive!" The Queen of Yuezhi sighed.

Then he looked around at the Queen of Jingjue and the commanders of all nations and tribes, and said, "Although the enemy is coming with great force, the entire Western Region cannot be underestimated if they unite!"

"Humph!" The Wusun commander snorted coldly: "Do you think this war can still be fought?"

The twenty-three countries in the Western Regions combined cannot be underestimated, but the enemy has nearly 900,000 troops, and they are not human.

"No fighting!" The Yuezhi Queen answered very straightforwardly, then changed the subject: "But... we can talk!"

Seeing everyone looking at her, the Queen of Yuezhi continued, "Although the enemy is powerful, we in the Western Regions should not be underestimated. Although we cannot defeat them, we can at least injure them!"

Everyone nodded, and everyone agreed with this point. Although the enemy had a large army, they were not human, but the twenty-three countries in the Western Regions could unite to form an army of 300,000. If they were more ruthless, they could form an army of one million regardless of the cost, so they might not be powerless.

Of course, the consequences of war are also unbearable for them.

The Queen of the Great Yuezhi said confidently: "Since we can injure the enemy, why not negotiate! I think the enemy does not want to suffer heavy casualties."

"Indeed!" Everyone nodded in agreement with the words of the Yuezhi Queen.

Although the enemy has nearly 900,000 troops, they certainly do not want to suffer huge losses.

Of course, they didn't know about the battle in Dayuan City, otherwise they would definitely shake their heads at this moment.

(There is information gap. In fact, the combat effectiveness of skeleton soldiers is far inferior to that of corpse soldiers.)
The Queen of Jingjue simply sat down again, not wanting to beat around the bush, and asked directly, "Old witch Yue, just tell me how you want to talk?"

The Yuezhi Queen didn't care about the three consecutive changes in the title of the Jingjue Queen, and said bluntly: "Of course, we will negotiate and pay tribute."

"..."

Everyone looked at the Queen of Dayuezhi with resentment.

The Queen of Jingjue said speechlessly: "After all the beating around the bush, why don't you just say it and ask for peace!" "No!" The commander of the Uzi country frowned and said: "Queen of Yuezhi, you are hiding something from us. If you just want to ask for peace, you can ask for peace on your own. Why go to so much trouble to join us in asking for peace together?"

Hearing this, the others also reacted. The Queen of Yuezhi had been beating around the bush for a long time. If she just wanted to make peace, the Great Yuezhi could have just made peace on their own.

The enemy would certainly be happy to have one less enemy and one more subordinate, so why would the Queen of Yuezhi go to so much trouble to unite with them?

"Alas!" The Yuezhi Queen sighed helplessly and said, "I have already asked for peace, but the enemy's appetite is too big. They want to swallow up the entire Western Region and force us to move west."

Everyone frowned immediately. This was going to destroy the country! No wonder the Queen of Yuezhi wanted to unite the entire Western Regions.

The enemy's appetite was too big, but Dayuezhi was the only one seeking peace, and they were weak and outnumbered, so they were likely to be destroyed.

Although uniting together is also a request for peace, it can make the enemy fearful.

"Send the order, prepare to attack!"

Outside the city of Dunhuang, Sang Biao looked at the city in front of him and directly gave the order to attack.

There was no intention of sending envoys to persuade them to surrender.

Although Fusu's intention was for him to focus on gathering the enemy and driving them away as a secondary goal, with war being the least of his worries, annexing the entire Western Regions was also a hard requirement.

Now that the countries in the Western Regions have united, there is no need to wait for them to completely unite. Defeating them once and for all is the most effective way. This will not only defeat more than half of the forces in the Western Regions, making it easier to annex the Western Regions, but will also satisfy Fusu's three requirements at the same time.

Now that the time is right, he doesn't plan to waste time.

"Woooooooo..."

Following Sang Biao's order, the sound of horns suddenly rang out from the undead army outside the city.

All the undead began to move.

"Crackling...!"

Siege towers, catapults and other large siege equipment were also slowly pulled to the front of the undead army by the skeleton animals.

The skeleton soldiers began to fill the catapult with stones.

Watching the actions of the undead outside the city, the Western Region coalition forces on the city walls of Dunhuang, who were already in panic due to the appearance of the undead army, became even more nervous.

"Attack!"

Looking at the actions of the undead army outside the city, the Queen of Dayuezhi and others who were discussing how to negotiate all stood up in shock.

This sudden situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Quick, stop fighting and send an envoy to request peace talks immediately!"

The Queen of Dayuezhi said quickly.

Although it was she who instigated and deceived the various countries and tribes in the Western Regions to unite to resist the undead, she was actually the one who feared war the most.

Because she is the one who knows the fighting power of the undead best among the people here.
