Chapter 1,062 The First Success in Breaking the City
As Liu Renyuan led his troops into the gate of Wandu, the last two cities in eastern Goguryeo were finally captured by the Tang army.
The pattern of the Tang Dynasty's eastern expedition to Goguryeo was suddenly opened up.
Liu Renyuan's Tang army officers rushed into the city to eliminate the remaining enemies and looted. Jin Yuxin and the Silla army stood outside the city gate, trembling with anger.
Tang Jun completely lost his face!
It was obvious that the Silla army had conquered the city at the cost of casualties, but Liu Renyuan was the first to rush into the city gate.
The Tang army had strict rules and regulations when it came to military exploits. Whoever was the first to rush into the city gate would be the first to break the city.
In other words, Liu Renyuan was inexplicably the first to break the city. When the lawsuit was brought before Li Qinzai, Jin Yuxin was unable to reason. In full view of everyone, it was indeed Liu Renyuan who rushed into the city gate first.
It's like on the wedding day, the groom just took off his pants, but the best man broke in, grabbed the bride and kicked the bride out, and finally the best man walked away.
--Are you polite?
Although the plot sounds exciting, if you were the person involved, you probably wouldn't feel too good about it.
Jin Yuxin stood blankly outside the city gate, his expression angry and irritable.
Thousands of Silla soldiers behind him also stood blankly, like a group of helpless and fragile children.
"General Jin, what should we do?" a general asked boldly.
Jin Yuxin watched as Liu Renyuan led the soldiers of the Tang army to suppress the enemy in the city, burning, killing and looting along the way.
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "I... let's rush in too, kill the enemy and loot first, and then go to argue with Li Shuai!"
So what if the bride is exported? As long as it can still be used, the groom must feel happy.
Not wasting is a fine tradition of Silla. More than a thousand years later, the people of Silla picked up the military cans and rotten vegetable leaves left over from the US military, washed and cooked them, and became the famous Silla delicacy "troop pot"
.
It can be seen that the people of Silla are industrious and simple, and the tradition has lasted for thousands of years.
The food that was spit on by the US military can be eaten, but why can’t the bride who was spit on by the best man not be able to eat it?
After some mental construction, Jin Yuxin suddenly felt calm.
Picking up the knife in his hand, Jin Yuxin roared angrily and led the Silla army into the city.
…………
Outside the domestic city, the Tang army was in formation.
Seeing that both cities had been captured by the Tang army, Li Qinzai was completely relieved and his expression became more and more relaxed.
The significance of this victory is different from the past. It proves the birth of a new type of arms and a new tactic.
The two cities were now completely under the control of the Tang Army. The city was ablaze with flames. Li Qinzai knew that it was the soldiers of the Tang Army who were clearing out the remaining enemies in the city and engaging in more brutal street fighting.
Soldiers from both sides could be seen fighting everywhere outside the city. Some enemy soldiers tried to escape outside the city, but were killed by bows and arrows and three-eyed muskets. There were also enemy soldiers who jumped down from the top of the city in despair, letting out shrill screams before they died.
.
Li Qinzai looked indifferent, he knew that these scenes were just the finishing touches after the city was broken, and the Goguryeo army was unable to recover.
Turning the horse's head, Li Qinzai walked towards the Chinese army's formation.
Liu Asi and the eleven special forces team members were having their wounds bandaged by the army doctors. Everyone grimaced in pain, but when they saw Li Qinzai coming over, they immediately showed a resolute and unyielding look, and each of them instantly turned into a strong man.
Li Qinzai got off the horse and sighed: "Don't be so pretentious. Just scream if you want. It won't hurt if you get stabbed. If you scream a few times, it won't affect your glorious heroic image."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the team members screamed at the top of his lungs: "Doctor, please be gentle, it hurts me to death!"
Someone took the lead, and screams and cries of pain came and went, and some actually cried.
Liu Asi was not seriously injured. It was obvious that his skills were pretty good. He was trained by Old Wei day and night when he was at Ganjing Village, so he could be regarded as the true successor of Old Wei.
Seeing his team members screaming miserably, Liu Asi let out a sigh: "You're an unlucky guy!"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I have been called out by the sword a few times. It is human nature. You are the first to break the city today. I will write it in the memorial later. Your Majesty will definitely give you a reward."
Everyone was overjoyed, even the wounds seemed to no longer hurt, and they all thanked Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai waved to Liu Asi, and the two walked to a remote place aside. Only then did Li Qinzai ask about the details of the city's destruction.
Twenty-one people including Liu Asi set out late at night and galloped on their horses. At dawn, they hid the horses in the mountains and forests, and everyone dressed up as fleeing Goguryeo civilians.
At the gate of the city, everyone was stopped by Goguryeo soldiers and they were not allowed to enter the city.
Liu Asi was also very clever and deliberately hid more than ten copper coins in his luggage. When he turned to leave in disappointment, the copper coins happened to fall inadvertently. The Goguryeo sergeant saw them and immediately picked them up. Of course, he finally stuffed them into his luggage.
In one's own arms.
After receiving their favor, the Goguryeo sergeant allowed them to enter the city.
It was not out of benevolence, they knew that the city would soon be besieged. If the Tang army could not defeat the siege for a long time, the city would need young and strong labor to repair the city defenses. When the war was critical, they would even have to send strong men to the top of the city to defend the enemy.
After Liu Asi and others entered the city, they quickly observed the layout of the city and then decided on a plan of action.
The crowd was divided into three groups, each moving towards the east, west and south of the city. When the Tang army approached the city, they waited for an opportunity to burn the houses and light fires at the same time. After lighting the fires, Liu Asi and others also rushed into the government office in the city and killed several people.
An official, the general's office was searched, but the guard general could not be found.

So everyone withdrew from the government offices and hid in residential buildings like pigeon cages to avoid being arrested by the officers and soldiers in the city.
Liu Asi and others found some tattered and worn-out clothes from the houses. After putting them on, they washed their faces, put on their bamboo hats, and walked out pretending to be scared.
They originally planned to approach the city head and assassinate the guard, but the city head was heavily guarded and Liu Asi and others couldn't get in, so they had to give up.
At this time, many of the Goguryeo troops at the top of the city were mobilized and were busy extinguishing the fire in the city. There were rapid sounds of gongs beating everywhere. When Liu Asi saw that there were only more than a hundred soldiers in the corridor of the city gate to the west, he immediately became worried.
idea.
Seeing that the Tang army was arrayed outside the city and was about to attack the city, Liu Asi remembered Li Qinzai's explanation that the purpose of special operations was to obtain the maximum results at the minimum cost. If the Tang army formally attacked the city, the casualties would be considerable. Their team
There is no point in a special team sneaking into the enemy city.
So everyone simply stopped pretending and had a showdown. After approaching the west city gate, they showed off their short blades and started a desperate fight with the enemy in the corridor of the city gate.
After paying the price of nine people dying in battle, Liu Asi and others rushed to the city gate and pulled the latch of the city gate. This is why the Tang army easily knocked open the city gate with a ramming stake.
After listening to Liu Asi's account, Li Qinzai smiled approvingly.
"The techniques are a bit unfamiliar, but this is your first time in action. It's not easy to do this. After this battle, I will teach you what 'special operations' is."
