Chapter 1528: Avoid Alerting the Enemy

Liao Hua's gaze swept across the generals and soldiers; every soldier's face was filled with fatigue yet did not lose firmness, and their eyes flickered with hope for the future and longing for victory. He cleared his throat, his voice steady and powerful: "Everyone, although we achieved a temporary victory tonight, the enemy troops will definitely not give up. We must seize this opportunity to formulate a more comprehensive plan to ensure that subsequent battles can proceed smoothly."

The young general stood beside Liao Hua, his gaze equally firm, and he added: "General Liao's words are very true; we must not only consolidate the existing defensive lines but also find ways to weaken the enemy troops' supply lines, making them fall into a passive position. Only in this way can we gradually reverse the war situation and finally achieve a comprehensive victory."

Upon hearing this, the generals and soldiers nodded one after another, expressing their agreement. They knew that the two generals before them were not only brave and peerless but also possessed far-reaching strategic vision; following them was following the hope of victory.

Liao Hua continued: "I propose that we divide into two teams to act. One team will be led by me, continuing to guard the granary to ensure food safety; the other team will be led by you, young general, leading an elite force to infiltrate the enemy troops' rear, destroy their supply lines, and simultaneously look for opportunities to harass the enemy troops' main camp and create chaos."

Upon hearing this, a light of excitement flickered in the young general's eyes; he knew deeply that this was an important task and also a major test of his own ability. He answered without hesitation: "General Liao, I will definitely not disgrace the mission, and I will definitely turn the enemy troops' supply lines upside down!"

The plan was set, and the two teams of people acted rapidly. Liao Hua led a team of people, reinforced the granary's defensive fortifications, and simultaneously set up heavy traps to prevent the enemy troops from attacking again. Meanwhile, the young general selected a hundred elites and, taking advantage of the night, quietly sneaked toward the enemy troops' rear.

The night was like ink, the stars were hidden, and only the occasional insect chirping broke the silence. The troops led by the young general were like ghosts in the darkness, silently approaching the enemy troops' supply lines. They utilized the advantage of the terrain to rapidly and accurately destroy the enemy troops' grain carts, stables, and even successfully burned down several important material warehouses.

The enemy troops were caught off guard by this sudden attack; for a time, the rear was in a mess. The young general fought in the vanguard, holding a long spear, charging in front; his bravery and fearlessness inspired every soldier, causing their combat effectiveness to double.

At the same time, Liao Hua also faced a fierce attack by the enemy troops at the granary. But relying on the solid defensive fortifications and the stubborn resistance of the soldiers, they successfully held the granary and did not let the enemy troops succeed.

After a night of fierce fighting, the sky gradually turned white. The young general led the fully loaded troops back to the granary and joined forces with Liao Hua. Although their faces were covered with dust and fatigue, their eyes flickered with the joy and pride of victory.

Liao Hua looked at the young general and the returning soldiers, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that the battle of this night was not only a test of their combat effectiveness but also a tempering of their will and belief. They proved with actions that as long as they were united as one and moved forward bravely, there were no difficulties that could not be overcome.

"Today's battle, you are all the pride of Shu Han!" Liao Hua said loudly, his voice echoing in the morning air, "Let us continue to move forward hand in hand, for the future of Shu Han, for our homeland and loved ones, fight to the end!"

Upon hearing this, the generals and soldiers cheered one after another; their voices gathered into an unstoppable force, rushing straight into the sky. At this moment, they seemed to see the dawn of victory and saw that the future of Shu Han was filled with hope and light.

Liao Hua and the young general stood side by side on the high city tower, looking at the smoke gradually dissipating in the distance, their hearts filled with emotion. The sunlight passed through the thin mist, sprinkling on their tired yet firm faces, adding a few warm colors to this victory.

"This battle, we won not easily." Liao Hua spoke slowly, his voice carrying a few traces of vicissitudes, "But more importantly, we saw the hope of Shu Han's future. You, and these brave generals and soldiers, are the backbone of Shu Han."

The young general turned to look at Liao Hua, his eyes flickering with admiration and gratitude: "General Liao, it is the teachings of you and Prime Minister Jiang Wei that taught me how to find hope in adversity and how to persist in fighting in despair. This victory belongs to every one of us, and even more to those heroes who sacrificed their lives for Shu Han's future."

Liao Hua smiled slightly and patted the young general's shoulder: "Remember, true victory is not just a triumph on the battlefield, but the cohesion of people's hearts. We must let every citizen of Shu Han believe that as long as we are united as one, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

The two were silent for a moment, enjoying this rare tranquility. Subsequently, Liao Hua changed the subject, his tone becoming serious: "However, the battle has not ended. Although the enemy troops retreated temporarily, their strength is still not to be underestimated. We must pursue the victory, expand the results, and simultaneously strengthen defense to prevent the enemy troops from counterattacking."

The young general nodded, his eyes flickering with firm light: "General Liao, I have an idea. We can utilize this victory to recruit more soldiers and simultaneously strengthen training to improve our combat effectiveness. In addition, we can also dispatch envoys to surrounding areas to unite all forces that can be united to jointly resist the enemy troops."

Upon hearing this, a light of appreciation flickered in Liao Hua's eyes: "Good idea! You are not only brave and good at fighting but also possess far-reaching strategic vision. Just act according to your plan; I believe that under your leadership, the Shu Han army will become even more powerful."

In the following days, Liao Hua and the young general divided the work and cooperated, each busy with their own tasks. Liao Hua was responsible for reinforcing the city defense and rectifying military discipline, while the young general led the newly recruited soldiers to carry out strict training. At the same time, they also dispatched envoys to surrounding areas to seek the support of allies.

During an interval in training, the young general found Liao Hua; the two sat in a corner of the city tower and began an in-depth conversation.

"General Liao, I have been thinking about a problem." The young general opened his mouth, "Although we have firm beliefs and powerful combat effectiveness, the enemy troops are also not to be underestimated. To achieve final victory, we still need more wisdom and strategy."

Liao Hua nodded, signaling him to continue.

"I think we can utilize the contradictions within the enemy troops to divide their power." The young general continued, "As far as I know, the enemy troops are not of one mind, and there are also fights openly and secretly among the generals. If we can find their weaknesses and utilize them, perhaps we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Upon hearing this, a light flickered in Liao Hua's eyes: "This is a bold assumption, but it is indeed worth a try. However, to realize this plan, we need to understand the enemy troops more deeply and simultaneously need to act cautiously, so as not to alert the enemy." ===== CHAPTER 1529 =====
