Chapter 77: The Tragedy of Dunhuang
More than 3,000 soldiers protected the Queen of Dayuezhi as she escaped, leaving behind layers of blocking troops to stop the pursuit of the undead.

Looking at these soldiers who were willing to die in order to protect themselves, the Queen of Dayuezhi felt even more sad.

When they finally escaped from the city, the Queen of Dayuezhi was left with only 500 soldiers protecting her.

Looking back at the Dunhuang City, where shouts and roars were deafening, the Queen of Dayuezhi's eyes were filled with sadness and confusion.

In this battle, the undead's fighting methods once again broke her thinking and her knowledge.

She knew that even if the Western Regions united, even with the help of the Maurya Dynasty, they would never be able to stop the attack of the undead.

This is a catastrophe for the living!

She didn't know what the future of Dayuezhi would be like.

When will this catastrophe end?
"Boom..."

The rumbling sound of horse hooves came from behind, and I saw that the skeleton cavalry had already reached the west gate of the city.

"Hold them off!"

"Close the city gate!"

"kill!"

Looking at the pursuing Undead cavalry, the more than 200 soldiers who were left behind to block them shouted and rushed towards the oncoming Undead cavalry without hesitation.

The last soldier who rushed forward hurriedly closed the city gate.

Seeing this scene, tears welled up in the eyes of the Queen of Dayuezhi.

She knew that once the city gates were closed, the soldiers left behind to block the attack would have no chance of survival! They would have to fight to the death!
"Send another two hundred people and make sure to block the city gate."

Looking at the closed city gate, the commander of the guards immediately gave orders to the remaining soldiers.

"kill……!"

The soldiers who received the order also shouted and rushed towards the closed city gate without hesitation. If they went there, they would definitely die.

"Queen, let's go!"

The guard commander Mu Bai said resolutely, and continued to protect the Queen of Dayuezhi with the remaining one hundred soldiers to escape.

~~~
"Come on! You skeletons, let me show you that the men of Dayuezhi are not cowards!"

"Damn the undead, brothers, it's no loss to kill one, and it's a profit to kill two! Kill!"

Inside the city of Dunhuang, the Dayuezhi soldiers who were left behind to block the attack hurriedly closed the city gates. They looked at the charging skeleton cavalry, roaring loudly one by one, and all of them fearlessly charged at the charging skeleton cavalry with their weapons in hand.

In an instant, the two sides rushed into each other.

Under the charge of the Skeleton Cavalry, the Great Yuezhi soldiers in front were knocked over and trampled by the Skeleton Cavalry's iron hooves.

Faced with the iron hooves of the skeleton cavalry, the Dayuezhi soldiers were not afraid at all. Some of them jumped high and chopped with their swords.

The next second, a rusty spear pierced him through.

Some Dayuezhi soldiers held spears and tried to stab the skeleton horses to death, but were shot and killed by the spears thrown by the skeleton cavalrymen on the horses.

"kill!"

There were also Dayuezhi soldiers who cried out in grief, and took their swords to knock down the undead on the skeleton horses, and chopped the heads of the skeleton cavalry with their swords.

"puff!"

The next second, a scimitar passed by his neck. In an instant, his head flew up, blood gushed out, and the headless body slowly fell down.

"We must not let them open the city gates!"

The Great Yuezhi soldiers who remained in the city gate watched their charging companions being overwhelmed by the pursuing Skeleton Cavalry in just a few moments. They shouted loudly, held their shields, arranged themselves in formation, poured out their spears, and resolutely waited for the Skeleton Cavalry to charge in front of them.

"Boom~" Amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, the pursuing skeleton cavalry did not even avoid the rows of long spears pouring down, and charged directly into their formation with their spears held horizontally.

In an instant, the shield-holding Great Yuezhi soldiers were knocked over, and three soldiers holding long spears in a dense formation were pierced by long spears. The skeleton cavalry in the front row were also pierced into hedgehogs by the dense long spears, with their heads pierced.

Before the Great Yuezhi soldiers could get excited about destroying these skeleton cavalrymen, the next second, more skeleton cavalrymen continued to attack their formation with huge kinetic energy. The long spears penetrated them like a gourd.

Immediately afterwards, the Skeleton Cavalry and the Great Yuezhi soldiers who had stopped charging crowded into the narrow city gate, swinging their weapons and fighting.

~~
Outside the city gate, another two hundred Yuezhi soldiers hurriedly nailed iron rings on the city gate and pulled the city gate from the outside with ropes.

At this moment, they were listening to the shouts and screams of their companions and the roars of the undead behind the door, and they were already in tears.

They all knew that the soldiers inside the city gate were fighting to the death, with no chance of survival.

They also knew that it would be their turn next.

"Brothers, today is a matter of death or life!"

"But once you die, I'll see you down there!"

Seeing some of the new recruits with pale faces, an old soldier shouted loudly.

"Death but no life!"

Seeing this, other veterans also started shouting. The new recruits were also infected by the veterans and started shouting too, with determination shown on their faces.

The screams and roars from inside the city gate gradually stopped, and the wooden city gate was pulled, making a clicking sound.

"Brothers, hold on."

The soldiers outside the city gate shouted and held tightly onto the ropes connected to the city gate.

Inside the city gate, the skeleton cavalry pulled down the bolt but failed to open the gate. Hearing the screams outside, the skeleton cavalry simply took an iron chain and put it on the bolt post, and used the skeleton horses to force the door open.

Under the power of the skeleton horses, the soldiers outside the city were dragged along even though they pulled the ropes tightly with all their might.

The city gate slowly opened, and skeleton soldiers immediately rushed out from the gap in the gate.

"Kill!" Outside the door, the spearmen who had been prepared shouted upon seeing this, and immediately stabbed the skeleton soldiers rushing out from the crack in the door with their spears.

"Come out! Grandpa will stab you all to death! Hahaha!"

Some Dayuezhi soldiers laughed as they watched the skeleton soldiers coming out from the crack in the door turn into a pile of scattered bones.

"Squeak!"

The next second, the iron ring hastily nailed on the city gate fell off and the city gate was opened.

The city gate was filled with corpses and bones, a sea of ​​blood. Dense skeleton cavalry sat on their bone horses and stepped on their horses' hooves. The skeleton cavalry's eyes, burning with soul flames, were fixed on the Great Yuezhi soldiers outside the city.

The sound of horse hooves rang out again, and the skeleton cavalry also charged out of the city.

"Brothers, today is just a death, see you in the next life!"

"Brothers, come on, I'm leaving first!"

Looking at the dense crowd of undead inside the city gate, the Great Yuezhi soldiers shouted loudly and rushed towards the undead with swords in hand.

"kill!"

Seeing their predecessors who were determined to move forward, the new recruits were also infected and rushed towards the undead with weapons in hand, roaring.

~~~
"Fifty people flee to the west! Fifty people flee to the south!"

On the other side, after Commander Mu Bai protected the Queen of the Great Yuezhi and fled a distance, he immediately gave another order. The remaining hundred or so soldiers were dispersed in two directions, and he himself led more than ten soldiers to protect the Queen of the Great Yuezhi and fled to the north.

They had no horses or camels, so if they wanted to escape the tireless Undead Cavalry, they could only disperse and flee to attract the pursuers. They were risking their lives to flee northwards.
