Chapter 1536: Courage and Insight

After Liao Hua formulated a detailed combat plan following several days of intensive discussion and planning, the decisive battle between the Shu and Wei armies finally arrived. On the battlefield, the shouting of soldiers on both sides and the sound of weapons clashing were deafening, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of blood. Liao Hua wore battle armor, held a long spear, and stood before the formation; his eyes were firm and resolute, as if he could pierce through the smoke of the battlefield and look directly at the enemy's heart.

"Generals and soldiers!" Liao Hua shouted loudly, his voice piercing through the clamor of the battlefield and clearly entering the ears of every Shu army soldier, "We were born to guard this land, for our families, friends, and the future of Shu Han! Today's battle concerns the survival of our Shu Han; we must exert all our strength and swear not to retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers' morale soared, and they shouted one after another: "Swear not to retreat! Guard Shu Han!"

Following an order, the Shu army surged toward the Wei army like a tide, and both sides engaged in fierce slaughter. Liao Hua fought in the vanguard, brandishing his long spear, invincible. He shuttled across the battlefield, commanding with certainty; every charge was just right, and every retreat was orderly.

In the melee, Liao Hua encountered a Wei army general, and the two immediately engaged in a fierce clash. That Wei general was highly skilled in martial arts and fought Liao Hua to a standstill. However, in front of Liao Hua's exquisite martial arts and rich combat experience, that Wei general gradually revealed signs of defeat.

"Who are you? Report your name!" Liao Hua shouted loudly, his long spear pointing directly at the Wei general.

"I am Zhang Hu, a great general of the Wei army! Today I am here specifically to take your head!" That Wei general answered through gritted teeth, simultaneously swinging his saber to hack at Liao Hua.

Liao Hua sneered, his long spear flexibly blocking the Wei general's saber blade, while simultaneously his figure flashed, circling to the Wei general's side, and with one spear thrust, he pierced his vital point. That Wei general fell to the ground in response, and the Shu army soldiers seized the opportunity to rush forward, killing the Wei army until not a single one remained.

The battle lasted for a whole day, and the soldiers on both sides were exhausted. However, under Liao Hua's leadership, the Shu army always maintained high fighting spirit. Night fell, and the battlefield was still filled with fire; the soldiers on both sides continued to slaughter each other in the darkness.

Liao Hua inspected the battlefield, continuously encouraging the soldiers to persist in fighting. He walked to a group of soldiers, patted their shoulders, and said: "Brothers, persist a little longer! Victory is right before our eyes! We are fighting for the future of Shu Han, for our families and friends! We cannot retreat, we can only move forward!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers cheered up and continued to fight fiercely with the Wei army. Under Liao Hua's encouragement, the Shu army's morale was high, and they fought more bravely as they fought.

Finally, in the middle of the night, the Wei army could no longer withstand the Shu army's offensive and began to collapse. Seeing this, Liao Hua immediately commanded the Shu army to pursue, killing the Wei army until they were scattered. On the battlefield, the corpses of the Wei army were piled like mountains, and blood flowed like a river.

After the battle ended, Liao Hua stood on the battlefield, looking at the devastated battlefield and the exhausted soldiers, his heart filled with emotion. He knew deeply that this victory was hard-won and was exchanged with the blood and lives of countless soldiers.

"Brothers, we have won!" Liao Hua shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the night sky, "However, we cannot lower our guard. Although the Wei army retreated temporarily, they may make a comeback at any time. We must maintain vigilance, strengthen defense, and ensure the safety of Shu Han!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers shouted one after another: "Guard Shu Han! Defeat the Wei army!"

In the following days, Liao Hua continued to lead the Shu army to strengthen defense and simultaneously dispatched scouts deep into Wei territory to spy on enemy intelligence. He knew deeply that only by fully understanding the enemy's dynamics could he formulate more effective combat plans.

Under Liao Hua's leadership, the Shu army's morale was high, and their combat effectiveness continuously improved. They engaged in multiple clashes with the Wei army, achieving victory every time. Liao Hua's reputation spread wider and wider on the battlefield, and he became a hero and example in the hearts of the Shu army soldiers.

However, Liao Hua was not proud or satisfied because of this. He knew deeply that war was cruel, and every victory was accompanied by huge sacrifices. He cherished the soldiers' lives even more and tried his best to reduce unnecessary casualties. In battle, he always fought in the vanguard, fighting side by side with the soldiers, jointly resisting the enemy's offensive.

In one battle, Liao Hua encountered a young Shu army soldier. That soldier was young but brave and fearless, charging in the vanguard many times and making great military achievements. Liao Hua walked to his side, patted his shoulder, and said: "Good job! What is your name?"

"My name is Li Yong!" That soldier answered, "General, I will definitely be able to make even greater military achievements for you!"

Liao Hua smiled and said: "Li Yong, I see your bravery in my eyes. However, you must remember that war is not just about killing and setting fires, but even more about protecting our homeland and loved ones. You must cherish your own life and not charge blindly. Only by living can you continue to fight and guard our Shu Han!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yong nodded, indicating that he kept it in mind. In the following battles, he was even more cautious and brave, becoming a capable general under Liao Hua's command.

As time passed, the border of Shu Han gradually stabilized. Liao Hua led the Shu army soldiers to build solid city walls and defensive fortifications, ensuring the safety of Shu Han. At the same time, he also actively developed agriculture and commerce, improving Shu Han's economic strength.

Under Liao Hua's governance, Shu Han gradually became prosperous and flourishing. The common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the soldiers' morale was high. They all knew that with a general like Liao Hua guarding them, they could live a happy and peaceful life.

However, peace did not last long. Not long after, the Wei army launched a large-scale offensive again, intending to eliminate Shu Han in one fell swoop. Facing the enemy's strong offensive, Liao Hua did not choose to retreat but met the difficulty head-on. He decided to utilize this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Wei army, making them thoroughly understand that the land of Shu Han could not be violated.

On the eve of the decisive battle, Liao Hua gathered all the generals and soldiers again for a mobilization speech. He said affectionately: "Brothers, we are facing the Wei army's offensive again. However, we are not afraid! We have solid city walls, sufficient grain, and brave soldiers! As long as we are united as one and jointly resist the enemy's offensive, victory will definitely belong to us!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers shouted one after another: "Guard Shu Han! Defeat the Wei army!" Under Liao Hua's leadership, they walked toward the battlefield with high morale. The day of the decisive battle arrived again, and the two armies confronted each other on the wilderness. War drums thundered, horns sounded, and a more intense and cruel battle thus unfolded...

In this battle, Liao Hua again displayed extraordinary martial arts and leadership. He led the Shu army soldiers to fight bravely and move forward bravely. The soldiers on both sides fought to the death on the battlefield, and blood flowed like a river. However, under Liao Hua's command, the Shu army always maintained high fighting spirit and powerful combat effectiveness.

After several days of fierce fighting, the Wei army finally could not withstand the Shu army's offensive and began to collapse. Liao Hua seized the opportunity to command the Shu army to pursue, killing the Wei army until not a single one remained. On the battlefield, the Wei army left behind a large number of corpses and blood again. This victory not only consolidated the safety of Shu Han's border but also made the Wei army even more in awe of Liao Hua's wisdom and courage.
