Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 43 Dunhuang Battle 2
At the order of the Queen of Yuezhi, two long banners with the words "freedom from war" were dropped from the top of the city wall of Dunhuang.

At the same time, the gate of Dunhuang City opened a gap wide enough for one person to pass through, and dozens of well-dressed envoys from the Great Yuezhi hurriedly ran out of the door holding the envoys, and ran without hesitation towards the undead army that was lined up outside the city and approaching Dunhuang City.

Looking at these dozen envoys running towards the advancing undead army, the soldiers on the city wall all showed their eyes of prayer, expectation and admiration.

"The envoy from the Western Regions requests an audience!"

The envoys arrived in front of the approaching undead army, looked at the densely packed array of skeleton undead approaching in front of them, and began shouting loudly even from a few dozen steps away.

The advancing undead army automatically made way for a passage. Upon seeing this, the envoys hurriedly ran in holding the envoys.

On the city walls of Dunhuang, the Yuezhi Queen and commanders from various countries were also watching nervously.

When they saw the messenger enter the army of the undead, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It would be good if the messenger could successfully ask for an audience with the commander of the opposing undead, which means there is still room for negotiation.

After all, they are the weaker party, and the gap between them is huge. If they can avoid fighting, it would be best.

"No one is allowed to shoot without orders!"

Seeing the countless undead still approaching the city, the Yuezhi Queen immediately ordered the soldiers. The envoys had already gone to negotiate, and now they had to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible.

"Woooooooo~~~!"

However, just as the Yuezhi Queen's order was issued, the sound of trumpets rang out from the undead army outside the city.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of boulders as big as basketballs flew out from the army of the undead and smashed towards the city of Dunhuang.

"Attack!"

Looking at the stones flying from the undead army, the Yuezhi queen and the commanders of various countries and tribes were all dumbfounded.

Didn't the Undead accept the envoy's request for negotiation? Why did they launch an attack? Did they want to negotiate or fight?
"Stones are coming, defend!"

On the city wall, the commanders of each section saw dense stones flying out from the Undead army, and shouted loudly, leading their soldiers to either huddle tightly behind the battlements or hold up shields for defense.

"Stones are coming, shields up!"

In the city, after loud shouts were heard from the city wall, the reserve soldiers behind the city wall also raised their shields above their heads at the shouts of their leaders.

"Queen, arrows are shot without eyes, please follow your subordinates to dodge!"

The surrounding guards held up shields to protect the Yuezhi Queen and her commanders, covering their evacuation.

Ten seconds later, stones flew out from the undead army and hit the walls of Dunhuang City like hail and crashed into the city.

These stones carried huge kinetic energy, like cannonballs, blasting holes in the city walls, cracking shields, and smashing through houses. For a while, soldiers on and behind the city walls were constantly killed or injured by stones.

In the army of the undead, the envoys who came in saw the undead operating the catapults constantly placing stones as big as human heads on the catapults and throwing them out, and they suddenly became anxious.

After accepting the envoy's negotiation, shouldn't they suspend the attack and wait for the negotiation results? Why did they launch an attack as soon as they came in?

"Stop fighting, we are here to make peace, stop fighting!"

One of the messengers was so anxious that he almost cried when he saw the stones being launched one by one. He shouted anxiously when he saw the undead who were busy putting the stones on the catapults and launching them. He even wanted to run over to stop them.

"Shut up! Go and meet their commander!" Seeing this, another messenger slapped his companion in the face for losing his composure.

He knew very well that these skeleton soldiers were only following orders and would not stop because of their pleas. They would only stop attacking the city if their commander gave the order.

After saying that, the messengers' hurried footsteps turned into a run, running towards the huge flagpole standing deep in the army.

In Dunhuang City, the Yuezhi Queen and her commanders, who had hurriedly come behind the city wall under the protection of the soldiers, looked solemn. The undead outside the city had just received the envoy, but they continued to attack, and their intentions were really hard for them to figure out.

A leader of the Yuezhi tribe hurriedly came before the Yuezhi queen and the leaders of various nations and tribes and asked, "Queen, do you want to fight back?"

"This!" Hearing this, the Queen of Yuezhi hesitated. If she fought back, there might be no more room for negotiation.

"Of course we have to fight back! And we have to fight back hard!" When Commander Uzi saw the Yuezhi Queen hesitate, he said viciously, "We may not be able to fight back, but if the enemy breaks into the city, then there will really be no room for negotiation!"

The leader of the Wusun tribe also said affirmatively: "The leader of the Wuzi country is right. The enemy has broken into the city, so there is no point in talking. We should fight back immediately! We should also show our attitude, so that we can have a chance to talk!"

"Order a counterattack immediately!" Upon hearing this, the Queen of Yuezhi gritted her teeth and gave the order.

"Understood!" The Yue clan leader who came to report said loudly and left in a hurry.

"Fight back, launch the slingshot!"

Soon, the commanders of the soldiers behind the city wall began to give orders, and the soldiers in the city placed stones the same size of a human head on the catapults that had been prepared long ago.

"put!"

Following the leaders' orders, more than a hundred slingshots flew out of the city and smashed towards the undead army outside the city.

Although it was less than one-tenth of the stones thrown by the undead outside the city, it also showed the attitude of the people in the city.

"Roar!"

Seeing the stones flying out of the city, the undead roared. The undead in the army raised their worn-out or simple shields to resist.

For a while, both sides threw stones back and forth, and soldiers in the city were constantly killed or injured by stones. Skeletons and undead outside the city were also constantly smashed to pieces and their bones were broken by stones.

However, the undead outside the city are not like the soldiers in the city. For the undead, as long as their heads are not smashed and a few bones are lost, they can pick them up and put them back together. Even if they are smashed into pieces, the surrounding undead can help them put them back together.

"Dear Undead Commander, please stop attacking. We are here to seek peace!"

In the center of the undead army formation with flagpoles standing, in front of Sang Biao's carriage, the envoy from Dunhuang ran over breathlessly, looked at the bronze skeleton general sitting in front of the carriage, and shouted loudly.

"Send the order, launch a general attack!"

Looking at these messengers who came panting, Sang Biao immediately gave orders to the group of black iron skeletons beside him.

"Wait, dear commander, wait a moment!"

"We are here to seek peace, please stop the war!"

Upon hearing Sang Biao's order, the messengers suddenly became anxious.

Looking at these anxious envoys, Sang Biao simply said, "I know you are here to negotiate, but I don't want to make peace. I just want to discuss your treatment for surrendering."

Upon hearing this, the messengers became even more solemn.

The strength of the commander of the undead was far beyond their imagination.

The enemy's continued offensive was like a knife hanging over their heads, squeezing their negotiation space.

Now that they are in a weak position, they must negotiate a result as soon as possible to stop the enemy's attack. Otherwise, the longer it takes, the greater the casualties in Dunhuang City will be, and the weaker they will be in the negotiations.

　It's not too cruel within the family, but it's different outside the family! So the plot here is a bit dragged out. The author will try to omit unnecessary plots.
