The formation of a special forces force in this era is actually experimental in nature. Whether it is training or actual combat, it cannot be compared with the real special forces forces of later generations.
Li Qinzai's original intention of establishing it was to reduce the number of soldiers killed in siege battles. Of course, he also hoped that the special forces selected from thousands of soldiers could be honed in actual combat again and again and become true gods of war.
The group of special forces in front of them had actually not received any special operations training at all. Li Qinzai just gave them some concepts about special operations based on his memories from his previous life.
Sneaking in, ambush, sneak attack, infiltration, etc., let them know that in this world, spies can do so many tricks, instead of just collecting intelligence.
Looking at the twenty people selected in front of him, Li Qinzai couldn't help but sigh.
From his point of view, these guys don't look like special forces at all. They are just ordinary government soldiers. Of course, they also have advantages. At least after removing the armor and stomach, they are ordinary people. They don't smell like soldiers. It is easy to sneak into the enemy's city.
After making sure that they all understood the concept of special operations, Li Qinzai asked them to disperse and put on the clothes of ordinary people in Goguryeo. He also put on simple makeup and smeared some earth and charcoal on their faces to look like they were fleeing.
After everyone dispersed, Li Qinzai was about to return to the commander's tent, but Liu Asi suddenly stopped in front of him, looking coy.
Li Qinzai looked him over and said, "What do you mean by stopping me? Do you want to file a complaint?"
Liu Asi smiled dryly and said: "Fifth Young Master, I am your commander. No matter when and where, I will never let anyone hurt you..."
"Don't pave the way. If you do, you won't even remember what the topic is. If you have something to say, just say it."
Liu Asi said cautiously: "I want to leave you for a few days, and I also plan to join the special forces you formed. Please ask the Fifth Young Master to make it happen..."
Li Qinzai said in surprise: "You like to join in the fun?"
Liu Asi smiled and said: "I'm not just joining in the fun, I'm really interested in the 'special operations' you just talked about. Those twenty people just listened to them at a loss, but I seem to know better than them. If I Joining in will give Fifth Young Master a better chance of winning."
Li Qinzai was silent for a moment and said slowly: "What do you think is the essence of special operations?"
"Sneak, elusive, sneak attack, ambush and sap, destroy all the enemy's people and things silently, and finally escape far away."
Li Qinzai nodded. Just looking at his clear but not stupid eyes at this moment, you knew that this guy really understood.
"This is a life-threatening job, do you dare to do it?"
Liu Asi puffed up his chest and said: "In terms of skill, the villain is much better than them. In terms of resourcefulness, the villain has followed Wu Shaolang for many years and has acquired a lot of spiritual energy. I dare not say anything else. It is still better to deal with these bastards in Goguryeo." no problem."
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Just want to join in the fun? What else?"
Liu Asi smiled and said: "Furthermore, this opportunity is rare, and the villain also wants to add to his credit book, earn some rewards later, and provide some foundation for future generations."
Li Qinzai nodded. It was the truth. Liu Asi had been a soldier by his side for many years, but since a man went to the battlefield, he always had a heart to make contributions, so he couldn't really regard himself as a battlefield tour group.
As for Liu Asi's skills, Li Qinzai naturally trusted him, and there was no problem with his character and will.
After pondering for a moment, Li Qinzai said: "It just so happens that this team doesn't have a leader, so let you take the lead. Just lead them into the inner city, and then you can act according to the situation."
"What I need you to do is to make a big noise in the domestic city, restrain the mobilization of troops and horses in the two cities, and cooperate with me inside and outside. Of course, it is best to kill the guard general, and I will send troops and horses to cooperate with you outside the city. Action, strive to capture these two cities without any bloodshed."
Liu Asi clasped his fists excitedly: "The villain will surely live up to the great expectations of the Fifth Young Master!"
Li Qinzai's tone suddenly dropped: "Take care of yourself. Remember to protect yourself in times of crisis. Don't show off your courage. Even if you fail to complete the task, don't risk your life easily."
"Yes, Fifth Young Master, take care too."
Liu Asi left happily. Li Qinzai stood there thinking for a long time and called Wang Fangyi again.
"Tomorrow the army will set out and arrive at Inner City. Liu Renyuan will lead five thousand soldiers and horses to ambush between Wandu and Inner City. When Liu Asi and the others make a disturbance in Inner City, there will be troops and horses mobilized between the two cities. At that time, Liu Renyuan took advantage of the situation to ambush the enemy's reinforcements."
…………
The twenty-one special forces team had quietly set off late at night, and Li Qinzai's army broke out of camp early the next morning and marched eastward.
As expected, when the army was still more than twenty miles away from the domestic city, they saw figures flashing on the left and right sides. They were enemy scouts moving around.
The forward battalion of the Tang Army immediately sent out several cavalry teams to meet them. While the army was still marching calmly, the enemy scouts were strangled fiercely on the left and right sides.
When he was ten miles away from the city, Li Qinzai ordered the entire army to form an attack formation.
From a distance, he saw countless Goguryeo people and nearby villagers fleeing into the city in panic, and the city gate quickly closed. Li Qinzai nodded with a smile.
It seemed that the special team led by Liu Asi had already sneaked into the city, otherwise they would have been ashamed to plead guilty in front of him at this moment.
No news is the best news.
Inland Castle and Maruto Castle are very close to each other, and the outlines of each other can be seen with the naked eye.
Domestic City is a small city. The city wall is not high and the area is not large. It looks like a small county town surrounded by stone bricks.
If the Tang army attacked from the front, there would be no suspense about breaking the city, but Li Qinzai still wanted to wait.
One is to try to avoid unnecessary casualties among the Tang Army soldiers, and the other is to give Liu Asi's team a chance to see whether the special forces, a brand-new branch of the army, can play its due role in this era.
If it succeeds, it will surely amaze the world. From now on, the Tang Army will have another branch of arms. In future foreign wars, the number of casualties among soldiers may be reduced a lot.
After the city gate of the domestic city was closed, it was never opened again.
The Tang army set up an siege formation five miles outside the city, but no soldiers and horses came out to meet the enemy in the inner city.
Perhaps the battle reports from other cities in Goguryeo reached the domestic city. The defender knew that the Tang army was equipped with a powerful firearm and did not dare to face the enemy head-on. He could only rely on the city wall for defense.
Li Qinzai was not impatient, he and the entire army were waiting.
There was a rumbling sound inside and outside the city, and the air was filled with a chilling and tense atmosphere.
More than an hour later, there was a sudden commotion at the top of the domestic city. With the naked eye, many enemy soldiers were seen running down the city in a hurry.
At this moment, a thick black smoke rose into the sky, and then a gong was sounded in the city. The rapid sound of the gong was like a soul-stirring funeral song, floating to the battlefield outside the city.
Wang Fangyi rode his horse and rushed to Li Qinzai's side, saying happily: "Li Shuai, the city is on fire, Liu Asi and the others have succeeded!"
