Of course, the main reason is to let those soldiers get more money, so that their combat effectiveness will not be too poor because they can't get much military pay.

The newly transferred general is already much better than that rubbish General Wang. At least he is not depriving the soldiers of their military pay. He is paid much more than the previous General Wang. Moreover, because this man has no land in Mobei, the soldiers We no longer need to be free tenants, farming for the new general, but can usually use it for training. This is naturally much better than before, and the combat effectiveness is already much better than when General Wang was there.

Moreover, it is much more convenient for everyone to fight now than before.

In the past, 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 was hit, they would not care about it, but at least they would be a little hesitant at the beginning. But now, the people of Dayan are all After living in the bastion, the opponent can no longer use the people of Dayan as cannon fodder. Whether they are encountered in the wild or the opponent comes to attack the city, they are the opponent's people. Just attack them directly without any hesitation. This is too much. It somewhat improved morale.

For the barbarians, the dangers of the bastions were 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.

Therefore, in the future, once the city is conquered and those bastions are gathered, 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 arrival of the new master of the North.

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 bastions. However, they are not afraid that they will have any rescue. No matter how much it costs, the bastions will be destroyed. Take it, at worst, wait until it is breached, massacre all the people in the fort, and bury the dead warriors with them.

All in all, we must do this, otherwise if we occupy the city in the future, all the people below will be disobedient, so that's okay. Once the news 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, when attacking a city, you can send all your troops to fight, and your morale will not be affected if you lose. However, if you attack a bastion, send all your troops to fight, but still lose, your morale will be affected. This is what Hu said before. The reason why we only sent 5,000 men to attack the bastion was because we saw that the bastion was not easy to fight, and we were afraid that if we sent too many people, we would still be unable to defeat it, which would greatly affect our morale.

Now, 5,000 people have failed to capture 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, morale has not been completely affected.

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 provide food on the spot when there was not enough food. In fact, , it would be much more difficult to attack the city than when General Wang and others were there.

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 people of Dayan, 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, there were too few people and too few things in the bastion. 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.

At that moment, 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 own homes. Some people planned to leave their homes and flee south, where it would be safer. place.

Unexpectedly, the bastion is so powerful that it can protect them, so they don't have to escape. This is 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 fortress was built, there were Dayan people living on the front lines that were no longer inhabited and in the cities that had been occupied by the Hu people, and the Hu people hiding in the cities used these Dayan people to There is absolutely no way.

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 the number of people exceeds 500, the army will hand over the bastion to the people to manage themselves. This is what the imperial court meant when it received this news.

The officers and soldiers had no objections to the above decision. Anyway, they had to keep pushing forward to the bastion. When the time came, there would be a new bastion for them to be stationed in. It didn't matter if they left the previous bastion.

On the contrary, it would be troublesome if no common 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, and then the bastions will fall. If it falls into the hands of barbarians, it will be in 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 chapter)
