The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

After a long and tense wait, the North Gate of Lunan City, which had been closed for a long time and looked like a sleeping beast, finally slowly opened!

Its heavy doors made a dull sound, as if it were an ancient echo from a distant era.

As the city gate opens, an old atmosphere wafts in the air, reminding people of the ups and downs and vicissitudes of life that this city has experienced.

Sima Yao was riding a strong warhorse. He stood as straight as a pine tree and was full of vigor and vitality.

Beside him, there was a majestic general walking side by side on each side. They were the fierce generals from Qiangyi - Hatulig and Ursu.

Hatulig was wearing heavy armor and holding a huge battle axe. The axe blade flashed with cold light, which was intimidating.

Ursu ​​was wearing light armor, holding a spear, looking heroic.

The two men guarded Sima Yao on the left and right, like an insurmountable mountain.

Behind him were the Da Sheng army and the Qiang Yi army.

The coalition forces formed by Da Sheng and Qiang Yi were arranged in neat military formations with great momentum. They were ready for battle with high morale, and were ready to charge at the command!

At this moment, the passionate and majestic sound of war drums was like thunder, resounding through the sky, as if it was going to shatter the entire world.

Only a small part of the coalition forces were stationed outside the city.

Faced with such a powerful coalition force, the enemy did not make any move and did not even have the courage to leave the city to fight, because the main force was not there.

This is also in line with Shu Huaiyuan's expectations.

It is much more convenient for the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces to be stationed in Shazhou than outside the city of Lunan.

It’s only a dozen miles away, so it won’t take long to get reinforcements.

However, Sima Yao's unprovoked provocation today was indeed somewhat beyond their expectations.

Three well-trained light cavalrymen galloped away like arrows, their target was Shazhou behind them.

Faced with the aggressive Sima Yao and his subordinates, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and send the light cavalry back to the city to report and delay time.

Although Sima Yao adopted a posture of all-out attack, he actually did not take any substantive action.

He seemed to be just bluffing, trying to put pressure on his enemy.

However, for the troops stationed outside the city, this situation undoubtedly made them feel nervous and uneasy.

Sima Yao knew very well that he did not need to launch a fierce battle to achieve his goal.

As long as the enemy realizes that the situation is not good and is forced to return to the city for help, then he will be successful. After all, what he is pursuing is not a temporary victory, but a longer-term strategic benefit.

Therefore, he waited patiently, observing the enemy's every move, ready to respond to possible changes at any time.

As time passed, Sima Yao already had a rough idea of ​​the opponent's situation.

Just like taking a stroll out of the city, the team soon returned to the city in an orderly manner.

The north gate of Lunan City was closed again.

There are a lot more defenders on the city wall than before.

As night falls, everything changes, and the world is quiet and peaceful. A cool breeze blows, like a veil brushing your face, bringing a hint of chill. At this moment, the night in this high-latitude region is like a pool of still water, without any waves.

Looking up, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, as bright and clear as a jade plate. It hangs in the vast night sky, looking particularly large and clear, as if it is within reach. Looking closely, you can even clearly see the shadows of the uneven craters on the moon's surface, like a mysterious maze, which attracts people's imagination.

When you look towards the mountains outside the city, you will see sparse stars dotting them, like bright gems inlaid on a black velvet curtain. Looking up, the starry sky directly above your head becomes more and more dense, with stars twinkling and shining, interweaving into a colorful picture. This spectacular scene is completely different from the starry sky in the city, giving people an incomparable sense of shock.

Gu Nianzhi was in a daze when he heard the soldiers around him cheering excitedly.

"There's a hot meal."

The arrival of the light cavalry was not announced in advance, so the soldiers could only make do with dry rations for lunch.

The food supply is still sufficient nowadays. Although the team is short of manpower, there is no problem in ensuring three normal meals.

Gu Nianzhi followed the large group of light cavalry and moved forward slowly. They lined up in an orderly formation, and everyone held a bowl tightly in their hands.

Finally it was Gu Nianzhi's turn. She reached out and took the full bowl of food and found that the quality of the food was really good.

This bowl of food exudes an enticing aroma, and is filled with a variety of delicious dishes: tender and juicy meat, lush green vegetables, fragrant rice...

Maybe it was because he had been hungry for too long, but Gu Nianzhi was eating in big mouthfuls.

In this difficult and harsh environment, it is not easy to provide such a sumptuous meal for everyone. Gu Nianzhi also knows that this hard-earned happiness needs to be cherished doubly.

"Captain Su, didn't you say that we would return to the base camp after investigating the situation? Why do it look like we are going to stay here permanently?" A soldier nearby asked Su Jinjun.

Gu Nianzhi sat on the roadside with everyone else. She also wanted to know the answer to this question.

"We have let the enemy know that the prince has arrived today. We are worried that they will launch a surprise attack at night. Therefore, not only can we not return to the base camp tonight, but General Shu will also have to bring a team of reinforcements to garrison the city."

"So that's it."

"At first, we didn't dare to rush into the city, so we were asked to explore the way first. We were not sure about the situation in the city, and we were afraid that the whole army would be wiped out. Now the situation is clear, and the brothers from the base camp will gradually come to Lunan and station outside the South Gate, ready to cross the city to provide support at any time."

late at night.

Gu Nianzhi and the soldiers of the Light Cavalry were lying on the horse path between the houses, with straw under them, but it was still a little cold.

She couldn't help but curl up her body, as if this could reduce the dissipation of heat.

The soldiers' snoring was heard one after another, and Gu Nianzhi had difficulty falling asleep.

She tiptoed out of the bridle path, walked to the side of the avenue, and looked toward the city wall.

Outside the city wall is the garrison of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces. If this gate is breached, southern Shandong will certainly be in danger.

On top of the city wall, several people were walking slowly, and then they slowly walked down the stairs on the inside of the city.

Gu Nianzhi looked carefully and saw that it was Sima Yao and several generals from Qiang towns.

One of them was holding a blueprint in his hand. Apparently, everyone had just been standing on the city wall, discussing tomorrow's battle plan by referring to the blueprint.

How will the attack on the Three Kingdoms Alliance be launched tomorrow?

Should we take the initiative or wait for the right opportunity?

Gu Nianzhi did not attend the subsequent combat meeting. She was not clear about the next arrangements and could only guess wildly.

But no matter what, she didn't want Sima Yao to get hurt.

But if she was really injured, she had the Phoenix Hairpin and his spear. Then she wouldn't have to be afraid of anything.

Thinking of this, Gu Nianzhi gained a little more confidence.
