Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 76: Another Expedition to the Western Regions
Compared to the mild war in the Central Plains, where the undead did not take the initiative to attack and the Central Plains countries had no breakthrough, the war in the Western Regions was much more intense.

Sang Biao originally led 800,000 undead stationed in the Western Regions. Fusu sent another 1.2 million undead to Sang Biao, not only bringing cannons and muskets, but also a troop of 5,000 skeleton mages.

The Western Region coalition had only 400,000 troops, and most of them were new recruits. Together with the 300,000 troops sent by the Maurya Empire, there were only 700,000 troops.

The Queen of Dayuezhi stood on the city wall of Dunhuang, looking at the overwhelming number of dead souls outside the city with a sad face.

It was thought that although there were 800,000 undead, the combined forces of the Western Regions and the Maurya Empire also numbered 700,000, which was enough to fight against the undead.

But no one expected that the strength of the undead was not 800,000, but was overwhelming, with no end in sight, and more than twice the size of the last time the undead army attacked.

The Queen of Dayuezhi knew that this time Dayuezhi was really going to migrate, and migration was the only way.

Even if the war is won in the end, this place will no longer be suitable for living.

"How is the evacuation of the people going?"

Looking at the undead army that was about to attack the city, the Queen of Dayuezhi turned to a minister beside her and asked.

The minister next to him immediately replied: "Queen, all the people have been evacuated, but... it is estimated that it will take at least two days to evacuate to Bamu."

"Two days!"

The Queen of Dayuezhi sighed. The undead were fearless and ignored pain, not to mention their huge numbers. It was unknown whether the city could hold out for two days with only the 100,000 troops in the city.

In the undead army outside the city, the Death Knight Dahl looked at the city in front of him and suggested to Sang Biao: "Grand Commander, there are only 100,000 troops stationed in the city. Our army has 2 million and has an absolute advantage. We can persuade them to surrender, which can also save us time in attacking the city and reduce losses."

"Humph!" Upon hearing this, Sang Biao snorted coldly and said, "They have surrendered once, why do we need to persuade them to surrender again? If they are fickle, there is no need to show mercy. Order the army to attack the city directly! Use the cannons to blow open the city gates and walls for me. This time, the king only wants corpses."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Dal immediately accepted the order excitedly.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the sound of drums was heard outside the city of Dunhuang.

As the drums beat, two skeleton cows pulled the reins with great effort, and the skeleton soldiers pushed them from behind, pushing and pulling the black strange objects to the front of the formation. Then the skeleton soldiers crowded around and turned the heavy cannons, aiming the black muzzles at the walls of Dunhuang. They also brought in wooden barrels and black balls.

"what is that?"

On the wall of Dunhuang, the soldiers felt a strong sense of uneasiness as they watched the undead struggling to move something of unknown origin to the front of the battle line, and they asked questions in confusion.

Everyone knows that the undead will not take so much trouble to transport useless things to the front of the formation.

Unfortunately, no one on the entire city wall recognized the strange black object.

"Hoohoo!"

As those strange black objects were placed in place, the skeletons in front of the formation all roared in unison.

Next, the skeleton soldiers loaded the gunpowder from the wooden barrel into the gun barrel and placed the exploding shells into the gun barrel one by one.

Seeing the undead busying themselves on the battlefield outside the city, the soldiers on the Dunhuang city wall felt even more uneasy.

"Hoohoho!"

Suddenly, the drumbeats outside the city became rapid, and some undead came to the front of the formation with torches and stood next to the strange black object. The undead in front of the formation also let out bursts of roars.

Under the nervous gaze of the soldiers on the Dunhuang city wall, they saw the undead holding torches bringing the torches closer to the strange black object.

"Boom!"

The next moment, bursts of white smoke were seen gushing out from the black object, and black dots flew towards the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

"Throw stones, defend~!"

Someone on the city wall shouted immediately. However, before the commanding officer could finish shouting for defense, the black dot had already hit the city wall.

"Boom boom boom~!"

In an instant, there were continuous rumbling explosions, and the exploding shells hit the city walls, creating thick smoke.

There were also shells flying over the city walls, falling into the city, destroying houses one by one. The huge explosions were like thunder, exploding in everyone's hearts.

At this moment, the soldiers on the Dunhuang city wall only felt the sound of the explosion like thunder, and the city wall was shaking.

They had never seen such a horrifying scene before, and at this moment the soldiers felt as if the world was about to collapse.

Some soldiers were even so frightened that they vomited bile on the spot.

"The gods are angry? Why?"

There were also soldiers who were shouting and raging at the sky in despair. They were obviously attributing this situation to God's creation. In their cognition, only God could do such a thing.

"Everyone calm down. Even if it is a god, it is only an evil god, not our god! It is the evil god of the undead, the Lich King!"

Some generals looked at the collapsed soldiers and shouted loudly, trying to calm the panicked and collapsed soldiers down.

"Crash!"

However, as they shouted, before the soldiers could calm down from the explosion, the shaking city walls suddenly made a rattling sound.

Immediately afterwards, under the horrified gaze of the soldiers on the city wall, large sections of the city wall collapsed.

'Dunhuang is over!'

Looking at the collapsed city wall, a word popped up in everyone's mind.

The city walls are their most advantageous barrier against the undead. Without the walls, the endless undead outside the city will pour into the city unhindered and engage in slaughter.

"The Undead are attacking!"

Sure enough, soldiers were heard shouting amid the loud explosions.

Outside the city, as the city wall collapsed, the skeleton cavalry that had been prepared immediately launched a charge towards Dunhuang City.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves was like the roar of the Yellow River, and even the Dayuezhi soldiers who were caught in the explosion could hear it clearly.

Looking at the skeleton cavalry rushing towards the city like a flood, the soldiers in the city turned pale.

"Run away!"

"Stop it! We will live and die with Dunhuang!"

At this moment, some generals shouted for the soldiers to flee, while others shouted to stop them and to live and die with the city. Of course, it would be more contagious if those generals did not run away.

Inside the city, some soldiers began to rush towards the collapsed walls, some turned around and began to flee, and some soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, hoping to surrender like they had been captured before.

"Boom!"

Soon, the rumbling sound of horse hooves passed through the city wall and resounded throughout the city. Hundreds of thousands of skeleton cavalry rushed in through the gaps in the city wall like a river flowing out of a sluice gate. They brandished swords and spears, drew their bows and shot arrows, galloped wildly in the city, and killed any living thing they saw.

"The Great Yuezhi is finished! The Western Regions are finished too!"

The Queen of Dayuezhi, who was protected by soldiers while escaping, looked at the dead souls pouring into the city and felt despair in her heart.
