Chapter 174 Nie Yuan vs. Qian Dayong
As the night deepened, tension thickened in Nanyang Prefecture. Nie Yuan, Gu Yichen, and Wen Yuan stood on the city wall, overlooking the incoming enemy forces, each sensing the looming decisive battle. The alliance between Qian Dayong and the Third Prince filled them with alarm.
"We must not open the city gates to them!" Nie Yuan gripped the knife tightly, his expression solemn. He knew that if the enemy army successfully entered the city, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Yes, they must succeed. We can't let them succeed!" Gu Yichen added, his eyes sharp and his expression resolute. They must defend this city and must not let the Third Prince's conspiracy succeed.
At that moment, the sound of war drums roared once more, the horns blared like a mighty bell, and the call to battle echoed from the city walls. Qian Dayong's army had already assembled outside the city, ready to attack. Their eagerness to enter the city and seize food and supplies was growing, while Nie Yuan and Gu Yichen faced unprecedented pressure.
"Come on, let's get started!" Nie Yuan took a deep breath, sensing the anger and fighting spirit of the soldiers below the city wall. He turned and shouted to the soldiers, "Tonight, we must not only defend Nanyang Prefecture, but also fight for our dignity! Qian Dayong and the Third Prince's conspiracy must not succeed!"
The soldiers responded in unison, and the entire city wall was suddenly filled with excited morale. At this moment, the enemy troops outside the city began to move, and torches flickered in the night sky, as dazzling as stars.
"Commander Nie, the enemy is approaching!" A scout came running over, a look of urgency written all over his face.
Nie Yuan frowned, his eyes fixed on the enemy troops outside the city. He knew that time was running out. He was determined to make defensive preparations before the enemy launched an attack. "Quick, arrange the archers and prepare to attack!"
Meanwhile, Qian Dayong, in his camp outside the city, was filled with confidence for the upcoming battle. He knew the Third Prince was secretly supporting him, and every move of the army was under his control, like chess pieces. He said to his deputy general, "Let them experience the full force of our power. Tonight, Nanyang Prefecture will surely be our spoils!"
At this tense moment, the Third Prince was hiding behind the enemy lines, secretly excited. He had been the architect of this war, and now he longed for Nanyang Prefecture to fall back into his own hands. He calmly observed the battle, pondering how to intensify Qian Dayong's offensive.
"Why haven't the enemy started attacking yet?" the Third Prince muttered to himself, a hint of unease crossing his face. He longed to fight, but he knew he had to remain calm and not let his emotions dictate his decisions.
At the same time, Nie Yuan and Gu Yichen had already made full preparations. The archers on the city wall were neatly arranged in the defense line, holding their bows and arrows tightly in their hands, ready to meet the enemy at any time. Their faces were full of determination and courage.
"Listen, brothers, tonight's battle is not for glory, but for the survival of our homeland!" Gu Yichen shouted loudly, inspiring the fighting spirit of every soldier.
"For Nanyang Prefecture!" The soldiers responded in unison, their voices like thunder, as if shaking the entire city wall.
"Begin the attack!" Qian Dayong finally gave the order to attack. With that order, the enemy army surged towards the walls of Nanyang Prefecture like a tide. The prelude to the battle had already begun, and the entire city seemed to be trembling with fear for the bloody battle to come.
Nie Yuan's eyes were determined, and he swore to himself: "We must not let the enemy enter the city!" He gripped the knife tightly in his hand, ready to face the coming conflict.
At this moment, the Third Prince was filled with anticipation and anxiety in the rear. He knew that tonight's battle would completely change the fate of Nanyang Prefecture, and his decision would directly affect the outcome of the war.
Just as the battle horn is about to sound, the dark shadow outside the city is getting closer and closer. The fate of Nanyang Prefecture hangs by a thread, and the battle is about to begin.
