Calculating the time, it took about five hours from the time Liu Asi led his team to set off late at night and sneaked into the inner city, to when Li Qinzai's army arrived, and finally when thick smoke billowed out of the inner city.
Li Qinzai didn't know how Liu Asi and the others did it, but the fact was that they had done it.
A fire broke out in the city, and the enemy troops defending the city suddenly became chaotic. In the rapid rhythm of gongs, it was visible to the naked eye that troops and horses were mobilizing at the top of the city. Many enemy generals rushed down the city in despair.
Wang Fangyi said anxiously: "Li Shuai, there is a fire in the city. Do we cooperate with Liu Asi and others to launch an attack on the city?"
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, Liu Asi and the others have to do more than that. The time for us to attack the city has not yet come."
"More than that?" Wang Fangyi said in astonishment: "What else are they going to do?"
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Creating chaos in the enemy city is only the first step. It would be too simple to say that special operations are just sneaking in and setting fire to them. What is the meaning of special operations?"
Wang Fangyi said happily: "In that case, let's see what surprises they bring to us."
The surprise came quickly.
While the enemy troops were busy extinguishing the fire in the city, another thick black smoke erupted from the other end of the city.
Immediately afterwards, the third and fourth strands appeared in different places...
The sound of gongs in the city became more and more urgent, and almost half of the defenders on the city head were mobilized, rushing into the city to arrest people and put out the fire.
Li Qinzai stared at the city in the distance with a smile. Although he didn't know what Liu Asi and the others had done, he was sure that it was more than setting a few fires.
Then, Li Qinzai's eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw the enemy troops lighting beacon fire on the top of the city to the west.
This beacon was lit by the enemy on their own initiative.
Beacon fire has been an obvious signal since ancient times.
Under the current situation, the enemy forces in Inland City are obviously asking for help from Maruto City.
Li Qinzai made a decisive decision: "Send the order, the army attacks the city! Concentrate and attack towards the west gate!"
The war drums rumbled, and the soldiers of the Tang army shook the sky with their shouts of killing, slamming towards the inner city like a tidal wave.
At the same time, the gate of Wandu City not far away opened, and a troop of about 3,000 soldiers and horses came out of the city and rushed towards the inner city quickly.
Looking at these three thousand soldiers and horses, Li Qinzai finally smiled.
What was waiting for was the mobilization of troops and horses from Wandu City. Li Qinzai had already laid an ambush for this and was waiting for these troops to leave the city.
Glancing dullly to the northwest, Li Qinzai nodded to the troops in front of his horse.
Soon, a cloud-piercing arrow soared into the sky, making a scream in the sky, and finally exploded on the dome.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Renyuan's five thousand soldiers and horses who were ambushing in the mountains and forests outside the city rushed out and attacked the three thousand soldiers and horses in Wandu City.
The banners are fluttering, the soldiers are like clouds, and the husband is about to gain fame.
The Tang army officers and soldiers were like ferocious beasts looking for food, and they pounced on their prey. Liu Renyuan first sent out a thousand men to cut off the retreat of 3,000 enemy troops, and the remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses pierced the middle of the enemy army like daggers.
And passed.
There was a loud noise, smoke rose, and a large area of 3,000 enemy troops fell instantly.
The enemy troops in the two cities were panicked. On the top of the inner city, the enemy troops hurriedly extinguished the beacon fire. Outside their west gate, the Tang army had arrived. Dozens of people worked together to carry the huge gate stakes and struck them fiercely.
Hit the city gate hard.
Surprisingly, the sound of killing and the clashing of swords and halberds also came from inside the city gate.
What was even more surprising was that the city gate actually opened after only a few hits.
The Tang army soldiers outside the city cheered in disbelief, then roared and rushed into the city.
Li Qinzai, who was standing on horseback and standing outside the city, laughed loudly.
The city is broken!
At the lowest cost!
The horse whip struck the iron helmet of the subordinate of the horse, and Li Qinzai smiled happily and said: "Send a team of people over to bring Liu Asi and the others back. Your team has made a great contribution this time."
Bu Qu also laughed and ordered hundreds of Bu Qu to rush towards the broken city gate.
Not long after, Liu Asi and others were surrounded by the troops and brought back to Li Qinzai. The surrounding soldiers cheered and kept hitting their shields with their swords, making a loud bang.
The heroic welcome made Liu Asi and others' faces light up and they could not close their legs with smiles.
Li Qinzai glanced at it. Of the twenty-one people who set off, there were about twelve people who came back. It was obvious that those who were not in the team at this moment had died in the battle.
In such a large-scale siege, the special operations team suffered nine casualties and achieved remarkable results.
It seems that the special operations model can be promoted throughout the entire army of the Tang Dynasty.
After careful calculation of human lives, the number of casualties in today's siege battle was much lower than in previous siege battles.

Li Qinzai turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and patted Liu Asi hard on the shoulder, looking him over.
"Ah Si, you're not injured, are you?" Li Qinzai said with a smile.
Liu Asi slapped his chest hard: "He's still alive, Li Shuai, the villain and brother Pao Ze are lucky to have lived up to their fate!"
Li Qinzai looked around at the other members of the special operations team. Of course, there were also injuries among the remaining twelve. Two of them were seriously injured. Blood was still flowing from their arms and thighs, and there were many cuts on their backs.
Li Qinzai sighed distressedly, and hurriedly ordered the army doctor to bandage and treat him, and asked Liu Asi and others to return to the rear army to rest.
The domestic city was destroyed, and the Tang army rushed into the city. The city was basically under control. The next thing to do was to clear out the remaining enemies in the city and arrest the guards and officials.
Finally, there was the project that the soldiers loved to see, ransacking homes and looting.
However, at this moment, the war is not over.
Outside Wandu City, Liu Renyuan had led his troops to cut off three thousand enemy troops, surrounding them in small circles one after another, and then concentrated on encircling and killing them with swords and halberds.
An hour later, the 3,000 enemy troops who rushed to the aid of the inner city had been completely wiped out, and the enemy corpses were scattered all over the ground.
Liu Renyuan quickly gathered his troops, lined up facing Wandu City, and formed an siege formation.
Li Qinzai looked at Wandu City in the distance, and after a moment he slowly said: "Didn't that fellow Kim Yu-shin take the initiative to ask for a fight? Give him a chance this time and send an order for 5,000 Silla troops to attack Wandu City, and Liu In-yuan's troops will support him.
"
Not long after, a troop of soldiers and horses galloped out from the rear of the Tang army and galloped towards Wandu City.
There are strange totems painted on the unfamiliar flags, and the armor and stomach of this soldier and horse are also obviously different from those of the Tang army.
Liu Renyuan had received the military order and led his troops to step aside. Jin Yuxin led five thousand Silla soldiers and horses to pass through. After arriving at the gate of Wandu City, Jin Yuxin gave the order and launched an attack on the west gate of Wandu City.
Wandu City was originally a small city similar to a satellite city. There were not many enemy troops stationed in the city. The defender sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the inner city. After being wiped out by Liu Renyuan, the city was basically hollowed out and there was no trace of it.
Decent resistance.
After paying a certain price of casualties, Jin Yushin's Silla troops quickly captured Wandu City.
When the soldiers of the Silla Army broke open the city gate in a scene of blood and flesh, and the whole army cheered excitedly, Liu Renyuan suddenly ordered the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army under his command to rush into the city.
Before the Silla army had time to react, Liu Renyuan had already taken the lead, leading the soldiers of the Tang army to roar past the Silla army and happily entered the city.
The Silla army was shocked and furious.
Picking this damn fruit is so blatant! Are you still shameless?
