The first battle of the special operations team was remarkable. Of course, in Li Qinzai's view, there were also some flaws.
The tactics in the first part were quite clever, but the part of seizing the city gate relied a bit on brute force. Fortunately, there was a fire in the city, and some enemy troops were mobilized to put out the fire. Otherwise, Liu Asi and others would have ended badly today, and they would not have been able to seize the city gate.
Come down.
Today's siege may not be perfect, but it will definitely be recorded in history.
Because this is the first time in human history that special operations have been used to win the war at the lowest cost.
A few years later, when special operations have spread throughout the army and tactics become more sophisticated and advanced, Liu Asi, the first special operations team in human history, will also be studied, discussed, and debated by countless future generations and generals.
and learning.
Liu Asi himself would definitely not know it. He just sneaked into the city, set a few fires, and robbed the city gate. How come he was recorded in the annals of history.
Yes, the ancients may have done this before, but Liu Asi and others were the first special operations team to truly form an organizational structure and have clear tactical goals and precise coordination of actions.
"Let the team members recover well. I will also select a group of new recruits from the army to add them. After this battle, I will give you some daily training subjects. I will use you next time. I believe you will be more perfect." Li Qinzai took the photo.
He hugged Liu Asi's shoulder and said.
Liu Asi smiled, then showed hesitation: "Fifth Young Master, I am your army commander. If I am transferred to another place, the safety of Fifth Young Master will be in danger..."
Li Qinzai sneered: "I can't live without you?"
"Ah Si, your skills and abilities should belong to the battlefield, rather than staying by my side. It would overwhelm your ability. Today you have proved yourself. Of course I am happy to give you a broader world."
"As for my safety, you don't have to worry. There are more than two hundred members of my family beside me. Choose one of them to take your place. The only enemies who can kill me in this life are women who sit on the ground and suck dirt...
That's not called killing, it's called dying."
Liu Asi smiled, then showed a look of emotion, knelt down towards him, and prostrated himself on the ground.
"It is my blessing that the fifth young master has fulfilled the villain's ambition to achieve great feats. I don't know how to repay you. I am only willing to kill more enemies and make more military exploits for you. No matter how good the villain is in the future, I can hold my head high and say
, I am Wu Shaolang’s man, and I will never change it in this life.”
Li Qinzai smiled and helped him up, saying: "Don't make it so disgusting. You are my person and you will never change your life. I don't dare to swear such a poisonous oath after sleeping with a woman, for fear of being struck by thunder."
"While cherishing your life, you should make more military exploits, earn an official title in the future, and let your descendants inherit some of your blessings. It is much better than being a subordinate by my side. When you are old, you can only be worshiped by the Li family. What's the point?
Make a fortune."
"It's different when you join the battlefield. As long as you are brave, clever, and willing to work hard, you will become a county magistrate or something, and your family tree will have to open a separate page for you..."
"You can tell your mother-in-law that you want to take a concubine with confidence, and if she doesn't agree, I'll whip her. Look at me, does the mother-in-law dare to say one more word when taking a concubine? My husband is so excited..."
Liu Asi grinned: "What the Fifth Young Master said made me excited, but I know that it may be possible to work as a small official in this life, but becoming a knight is a bit too much, and I really don't dare to hope for it."
Li Qinzai smiled and shook his head.
It’s not too much. The first fully-organized special forces team in history. As long as it strives for excellence, makes a few contributions on the battlefield, and produces an eye-catching report card, Li Zhi will definitely reward it, make it a Baron Viscount or something like that. , the hope is great.

The last two cities in the eastern part of Goguryeo were captured, and the Tang army led by Li Qinzai also completed the established strategy. At this point, almost all the territory in the northern part of Goguryeo had fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
What Li Qinzai wanted to do now was to sweep through the eastern part of Goguryeo, clear out the remaining enemies of Goguryeo hidden in the countryside and mountains, and finally lead his army westward to join forces with Li Ji.
On the day when the two cities were captured, after it was confirmed that the remnants of the enemy in the city had been eliminated, Li Qinzai immediately gathered his soldiers. With the two cities in the country and Wandu as the center of the circle, the soldiers divided their troops into units of a thousand people to search the surrounding area. If you encounter the remaining enemies within a hundred miles, attack them.
The operation to eliminate the remaining enemies lasted for four days. During these four days, the Tang army attacked a total of more than 4,000 enemies, most of whom were scattered Goguryeo troops who fled or avoided fighting.
After confirming that the enemy in the rural villages in eastern Goguryeo had been basically cleared, Li Qinzai ordered the army to march westward towards Gobe City.
On the ninth day of July in the second year of Linde, Li Qinzai's troops marched to Gobe City. This place was very close to the sphere of influence of Li Ji's main army. Gobe City was also captured by Li Ji's main force for many days.
After camping outside the city for one night, we continued westward the next day.
On July 11, Li Qinzai's troops approached Liaodong City.
At this time, the Goguryeo army had retreated from the Liao River. In order to cooperate with Li Qinzai's actions in the east, Li Ji finally launched a fierce attack on the Goguryeo army on the east bank of the Liao River.
The entire army was equipped with sharp firearms such as three-eyed blunderbuss. The Goguryeo army on the east coast only lasted for half an hour before they could no longer withstand the fierce offensive of firearms and gradually retreated to the south.
The Tang army took advantage of the situation to cross the river and occupied the positions on the east bank. Goguryeo's defeat was irreversible, so the entire army had to withdraw southward. More than 100,000 people abandoned their helmets and armor and fled to the south toward Wugu City.
After the First World War, the Tang army officially controlled all the land in the northern part of Goguryeo. With Goguryeo's Wugu City as the boundary, the two countries formed a confrontation between the north and the south.
The strategic objectives of the Tang Army were initially achieved.
On July 13, Li Ji led the main army to Liaodong City.
Li Qinzai's troops had been camped outside the city for two days. When they heard that Li Ji's main army had arrived, Li Qinzai was overjoyed. He quickly ran out of the commander's tent and led two hundred troops on horseback to meet them.
After galloping for twenty miles, I saw the flags in the distance covering the sun, and the soldiers of the Tang army marching in line in an endless darkness. Smoke and dust were flying all over the sky, and the sky was shrouded in a murderous aura.
Li Qinzai was so excited that he immediately rushed forward. The vanguard of the main army stopped Li Qinzai. After verifying Li Qinzai's identity, the vanguard general saluted respectfully and let him go.
Li Qinzai rode his horse to the central army, and finally saw the huge flag flying in the wind. Under the flag, a white-haired veteran was riding on a horse, wearing armor and a helmet, walking slowly.
Seeing Li Ji, whom he had not seen for a long time, Li Qinzai immediately dismounted and ran like a cheerful and cute gourd baby, laughing as he ran.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!"
When the voice reached the commander's banner, Li Ji suddenly opened his eyes and saw Li Qinzai running in the distance. Li Ji's weathered face suddenly showed a hint of excitement and joy, and then he quickly scolded his old face.
Pointing two fingers together at Li Qinzai, Li Ji shouted: "What kind of evil beast dares to charge into the formation? How arrogant! Take it down with me, right and left!"
