Of course, the main reason is to let those soldiers get more money, so that their combat effectiveness will not be too low because they can't get much military pay.
The newly transferred general is already much better than that rubbish General Wang. At least he doesn’t deduct soldiers’ pay so much. He gets much more money than the previous General Wang. Moreover, because this person is in There is no land in Mobei, so the soldiers do not have to be free tenants to farm for the new general. Instead, they can use it for training. This is naturally much better than before, and the combat effectiveness is much better than when General Wang was there.
And now it is much more convenient for everyone to fight than before.
Before, the Hu people always liked to capture the people of Dayan as cannon fodder. Everyone would be a little hesitant to attack their own people. Even if they waited until the red eye hit, they would not care anymore, but at least they would be a little hesitant at the beginning, but Now that all the people of Dayan have lived in the bastion, the other side can no longer use the people of Dayan as cannon fodder. Whether they are encountered in the wild or the other side comes to attack the city, they are all the people of the other side. Just attack them directly without any need to do anything. Hesitantly, this also somewhat improved morale.
For the barbarian people, the danger of the bastion is much greater.
In the past, they only had to occupy the prefectural cities in the North. Occupying the prefectural cities meant that the city fell into their hands.
But now, even if they capture the city, it does not mean that the city falls into their hands, because those bastions, not to mention 100%, will cause them trouble as long as there is some resistance.
So in the future, once the Fucheng is captured and the bastions are gathered again, one must be destroyed and all the bastions that are not obedient must be destroyed, so as to frighten the other bastions and make them open the bastions obediently and welcome the North. The arrival of the new owner of the land.
They are not afraid that something like this will happen again in the future. Once the city is destroyed, they can concentrate on capturing these fortresses, but they are not afraid that they will have any rescue. No matter how much it costs, , they will also capture the bastion. At worst, after it is breached, all the people in the fort will be slaughtered and buried with the dead warriors.
In short, this must be done, otherwise if the city is occupied in the future, all the people below will be disobedient, so that's okay. Once word spreads, people will definitely follow the same example, so why go south?
Not to mention the Hu people's summary of this failure, it is said that the Hu people no longer plan to attack the fortress, but are preparing to continue to capture the city.
Now it seems that the city is easier, because there are many people in the city, and some internal agents can be bribed, which is completely impossible for the bastion.
Also, if you attack a city, you can send all your troops to fight, and if you lose, your morale will not be affected. But if you attack a bastion, you can send all your soldiers to fight, but you still lose, then it will affect your morale. Morale, this is also the reason why the Hu people only sent 5,000 people to attack the bastion before. They saw that the bastion was not easy to fight, and they were afraid that if they sent too many people, they would still not be able to defeat it, which would greatly affect morale.
Now, five thousand people have failed to lay down the bastion. Although it has affected morale a little, everyone can find reasons for themselves, saying that they have few people, so they failed. In this way, the impact has not been completely affected. morale.
But the Hu people never thought that if they continued to attack the city, it would not be easier than before, because they could not capture the people around them to use as cannon fodder for the siege, nor could they attack the city when there was not enough food. In fact, it is much more difficult to provide food than it is to attack the city when General Wang and others are around.
In addition, the defender is more powerful than General Wang. It is conceivable that if they really attack the city next, they will probably fail.
This time the Hu people failed to send a large army to attack the fortress. For the Hu people, it was depressing, but for the Yan people, it greatly boosted the morale. At first, they saw the barbarian cavalry passing in front of their bastion in strong force. The sweeping momentum was scary to look at, but it frightened them, for fear that the barbarians would attack their bastion.
Fortunately, my bastion had too few people and too few things. The barbarians looked down upon it and went to attack the largest bastion in the area.
As a result...the Hu people returned home defeated!
They looked at the arrogant Hu people when they came, but when they returned, they lost their troops, the wounded were everywhere, the flags were broken, and they looked like prodigal dogs. They couldn't help but be shocked. They thought, it turns out that the Hu people are also human beings, are they just like this? ! Immediately, he had the idea that he might not be able to defeat the barbarians.
After all, even if your bastion is smaller, you may not be able to defeat it, but if you hold on for a few days and wait for reinforcements, it will be no problem.
Suddenly, their confidence in the bastion built by the little emperor increased greatly, thinking that such a strange and strange fort was really so powerful.
Now the people of Dayan felt at ease and were no longer afraid. You must know that before, the barbarians had occupied many cities in the north, even at the door of their homes. Some people planned to leave their homes and go south. Escape to a safer place.
I didn’t expect that the bastion was so powerful and could protect them, so they didn’t have to escape. This was naturally a good thing. After all, who wants to leave their homeland?
Nowadays, the people in the North are living a better and more secure life. And because of this great victory, some people who originally lived in the North had to flee their homes because the barbarians went south and occupied their original cities. , now looking at the city that was originally occupied, regardless of whether there are people or not, they also built fortresses, ran back to their hometown, picked up their original fields, and continued to plant. There is no way, there are always some people, no Be willing to leave your hometown.
In other words, before the bastion was built, there were no people on the front line and the city that had been occupied by the barbarians. There were people from Dayan living there, and the barbarians hiding in the city, There is absolutely no way to deal with these people of Yan.
After these people come back, if the number of people is not large, the bastion will still be controlled by the army for the time being. Once there are more than 500 people, the army will hand over the bastion to the people to manage themselves. This is when the court received this news , meaning to send it.
The officers and soldiers had no objections to the above decision. Anyway, they had to keep pushing forward into the bastion. Then there would be a new bastion for them to garrison. It didn’t matter if they left the previous bastion. .
On the contrary, it would be troublesome if no people came back to those bastions. After all, there are more and more bastions, and troops must be stationed there. There should not be too few, lest there are too few and the barbarians will easily capture the bastions. , when the bastion falls into the hands of the barbarians, there will be trouble.
However, there are not enough officers and soldiers to station them all. Many of the forts farther back are already in the county offices, and county soldiers are stationed there.
Now that it's better, many people have returned, and the bastion can be left under their own control, and the pressure on them to send troops to guard the bastion can be reduced. (End of this chapter)
