Chapter 1534

"Prepare for battle!" Liao Hua issued the order in a low and powerful voice, simultaneously rapidly analyzing the situation around him. However, before he could fully deploy, fire soared into the sky from all directions, arrows flew like locusts, accompanied by the shouting of the Wei army, and a sudden battle thus broke out.

Liao Hua brandished his long spear, blocking left and hacking right, knocking down the incoming arrows one by one, while simultaneously commanding the soldiers under his hand to find a breakthrough point. But the enemy was clearly prepared, not only numerous in number but also cooperating tacitly, utilizing the advantage of the terrain to continuously launch attacks from the dark, causing Liao Hua and others to fall into a bitter battle.

In this sudden sneak attack, Liao Hua displayed calmness and courage beyond ordinary people. He knew deeply that if they could not break out rapidly at this time, what awaited them would be the fate of total annihilation. Thus, he decisively decided to utilize the cover of night to lead the team to launch a charge toward the weakest link, intending to tear open the enemy's encirclement.

Under Liao Hua's leadership, the Shu army soldiers fought bravely in the vanguard, fighting with their lives, and finally, after a fierce charge, found a breakthrough point. Liao Hua fought in the vanguard, wherever the long spear pointed, he was invincible, hard-headedly tearing open a bloody path in the enemy's defensive line. However, just as they were about to rush out of the encirclement, a cold arrow suddenly flew from the dark, pointing straight at Liao Hua's heart.

Just at this critical moment, the deputy general beside Liao Hua was quick-eyed and fast-handed, pushing Liao Hua away, but he himself was pierced through the chest by that arrow and fell into a pool of blood. Liao Hua witnessed all this, his heart filled with extreme grief, but he knew that now was not the time for grief; he must lead the remaining soldiers to rush out of the heavy encirclement and complete the mission.

After paying a heavy price, Liao Hua finally led the remnants to rush out of the enemy's encirclement and fled into a vast wilderness. They dared not stop for a moment and continued to gallop toward Shu Han's territory. Along the way, Liao Hua's heart was filled with complex emotions: mourning for the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, anger at the enemy's insidious cunning, and firm belief in future battles.

After returning to Shu Han, Liao Hua immediately reported the process of encountering the sneak attack to Zhuge Liang and described the Wei army's deployment in detail. After hearing this, Zhuge Liang expressed high praise for Liao Hua's bravery and wisdom, and simultaneously expressed great indignation at the Wei army's cunning and cruelty. He decided that not only must he avenge the sacrificed soldiers, but he must also utilize the intelligence brought back by Liao Hua to formulate more exquisite strategies to defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop.

In the following days, Liao Hua actively participated in Shu Han's military preparation work; he not only assisted Zhuge Liang in perfecting the combat plan but also personally trained soldiers to improve their combat effectiveness. Under Liao Hua's efforts, the Shu army's morale soared to an unprecedented height, and everyone was full of confidence in the upcoming great battle.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, the Shu army, according to the predetermined plan, launched a comprehensive offensive against the Wei army. Liao Hua fought in the vanguard, leading an elite force to strike directly at the Wei army's hinterland, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the enemy. In this decisive battle, Liao Hua, relying on his superior martial arts and wisdom, made repeated meritorious services and made great contributions to the Shu army's victory.

When the smoke of battle gradually dissipated, Liao Hua stood on the battlefield, looking at those sacrificed comrades-in-arms, his heart filled with endless sorrow. He knew that this victory was exchanged with the blood of countless lives; every fallen soldier was a hero of Shu Han. And he, Liao Hua, would also continue to shoulder the mission of guarding Shu Han until the last moment of his life.

This sneak attack incident, although bringing a heavy blow to Liao Hua and his team, also made their determination to resist foreign enemies and defend their homeland even firmer. Under Liao Hua's leadership, the Shu army soldiers were united as one, jointly facing future challenges, and writing one heroic legend after another that could be sung and wept over.

After that thrilling sneak attack, Liao Hua did not immerse himself in grief and anger; on the contrary, this experience became an indelible force in his heart, inspiring him to walk even more firmly on the road of defending Shu Han. He knew deeply that as a general, personal emotions must be subordinate to the big picture; every setback was a tempering indispensable on the road to victory.

Returning to the camp, Liao Hua immediately set about rectifying the team; for those soldiers injured in the sneak attack, he personally visited, gave them encouragement and comfort, and simultaneously arranged the best medical resources for treatment. He understood that soldiers were not just machines of battle but people with flesh and blood and rich emotions; only by letting them feel the warmth of home could they erupt with even more powerful combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

At the same time, Liao Hua began to deeply analyze the Wei army's tactics and strategies, attempting to find the enemy's weaknesses from that sneak attack. He gathered the think tank in the army to study the Wei army's deployment map together and discuss possible attack routes and defensive strategies. In this process, Liao Hua displayed outstanding military talent and leadership; he could not only listen to the opinions of subordinates but also rapidly make decisions amidst the clamor of voices, ensuring that the team's goals were consistent and actions efficient.

After several days of intensive discussion and planning, Liao Hua formulated a detailed combat plan aimed at utilizing the Wei army's negligence and terrain advantages to implement a sudden counterattack against the enemy. He decided that they would no longer defend passively but must take the initiative to attack, disrupt the Wei army's deployment, and strive for more strategic space for Shu Han.

In order to implement this plan, Liao Hua personally selected an elite small team; they were all composed of experienced veterans, loyal to Liao Hua, and skilled in night combat. On a night with few stars and a sparse moon, this small team silently crossed the Wei army's defensive line and headed straight for an important supply point of the enemy army. Their mission was to destroy the enemy's material supply, create chaos, and create conditions for subsequent large-scale offensives. ===== CHAPTER 1535 =====
