After another half an hour, the battle was over, and the 10,000 defenders in the city, more than 4,000 were killed and wounded, and the rest fled to Yan County and went to join Gao Shengtan's main army.

The entire Xiongguan was lost and regained, and it once again became an important pass to curb the entry of people and horses from all sides in Liaodong, and the strategic location was extremely important.

Luo Zhaoyun sent infantry into the city, cleaned up the battlefield, cleared the stone bullets, arrows, corpses, etc. covered in the city, and then re-garrisoned the army, and then decided how to get out of the customs and fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Northern Qi Restoration Army.

Xue Wancheng and Mai Mengcai took the records in the army and the soldiers to join the army, counted the soldiers and horses, recorded the list of wounded and killed soldiers, household registration, etc., they all had waist cards, engraved with names, registrations and other information, after the death of the war, compared with the detailed information on the account books in the army, so that the accurate information of the deceased can be determined, according to the new regulations of the governor's office, the martyrs should be added when they turn back, and their families should be exempted from taxes and forced service, and pensions should be sent.

The surviving soldiers were surprised to see the records in the army, the soldiers Cao joined the army in the detailed list of suitable deceased, and inquired about the amount of the pension, and the war dead were posthumously crowned as martyrs, and it was recorded that his family was the family of the martyr, and he could be exempted from taxes and conscription for five years, and the pension would be ten dollars a year, and he would be given five years in a row.

In addition, the families and children of martyrs enjoy preferential policies in terms of schooling, land distribution, and relief.

This was simply a supreme honor, and many soldiers were a little excited when they heard this, and they all passed on ten, and ten on hundreds, and all of them were enthusiastic.

Because in the past, the conscription fought in Liaodong, and if they died, they died in vain, and no one cared about them, not only did they bring their own clothes and rations, but their families also did not have any resettlement after death, so the people in the north were deeply oppressed by military service, and many people would rather harm themselves than go to the front line.

Now when they hear that the new rules of rewards and punishments issued by the General Administration of Luo Shaoshuai, it is very different from before, and they all cheer, they are not afraid of death, but they are worried that death is worthless, even the life of a dog is not as good, and the family does not take care of it, the court policy is chilling, who wants to really die?

At this time, it is very different, they are all cheering for the new rules, sincerely supporting, even if they die in battle, they will not be wronged, they can earn a pension for settling-in expenses, they can reduce the tax burden on the family, and their children can enjoy a little privilege, which is the glory that soldiers should have.

"The imperial court has finally considered us poor people."

"What kind of court, it is the governor's mansion, it is the decision of Young Marshal Luo, soldiers in other places, it is still not as good as dogs' lives, only the soldiers of our four northern counties have this kind of treatment."

"The young marshal is really sympathetic to the soldiers, and he treats us well!"

There was a lot of discussion in the barracks, and they were very supportive of the new military policy, and they were all hotly discussed, and their morale was high.

This kind of sentiment of swearing to serve their lives will greatly enhance the morale of the soldiers, and it is conceivable that they will be even more courageous when they fight again.

Luo Zhaoyun entered the mountain city at dusk, standing on the Xiongguan city wall facing north, this city wall is to block the army outside the pass, the city tower is stacked, standing majestically, surrounded by mountains, it seems lonely and desolate.

"Marshal, Beiping County has basically settled down, when will you send troops to save Yan County?" Xue Wanqian was a little anxious and eager to continue fighting.

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment and muttered: "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, wait for General Mai to bring the troops over, after the integration of our army's forces, we will gather together and then go out of the pass, the Gao clan has been preparing for twenty or thirty years, the main force is outside the pass, and there are also Khitans, Xi people and other nomadic cavalry mixed, the battle outside the pass is related to our decisive battle with this restoration army of the descendants of the Northern Qi." ”

Xue Wanqian and the others nodded, understanding the boss's thoughts.

"What's the situation in Luanxian?"

Mai Mengcai learned a little bit of news from the scouts under his father's command, and replied: "It is under siege, at present, Luancheng is surrounded on all sides, there is no way out, they have no reinforcements in Beiping County, the food in the city is only enough for 8,000 soldiers to eat for half a month, and no one in the city will respond to them and fight for them, this is a lone army, and it can't hold for many days."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, he was thinking about a problem, that is, to train the dead soldiers to settle in the cities, once this situation occurs, organize a group of people to sneak attack a certain city gate at night, and then let the soldiers and horses outside enter, and the soldiers are treacherous, so that it will be much easier to capture the city.

"Have all the scouts sent to Yan County been dispatched?"

"Marshal Qiyu, it has been dispatched, about fifty fire teams, twenty sentry teams, will always send back the news of Yanjun and Liaoxi."

"That's good." Luo Zhaoyun does not have much impression of the Northern Qi Dynasty, in history, it seems that there is only one Lanling King Gao Changgong is very famous, this descendant of the Gao clan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they are extremely handsome, but their personalities are very extreme, and they often go to extremes, it can be said that the Northern Qi Dynasty is a more murderous, chaotic, and cold-blooded dynasty in Chinese history, and the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty was also the death of its own king, whether it is the royal family or the aristocracy, there are few good things.

Now in the Gao team, there is an acquaintance of his, that is, Gao Yufei, who has been with him for a while, but he doesn't know much about it, and he doesn't have any other ideas.

"I hope I don't meet on the battlefield, otherwise, it will be a little cruel to see acquaintances wiped out in the military formation." Luo Zhaoyun sighed lightly in his heart, but if it really happens, he will not be soft, because this is not a personal grudge, he can be generous to repay grievances with virtue, at this moment it is fighting for territory and luck, involving the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, once Luo Zhaoyun commands the troops, he will be responsible for the generals and soldiers, and he will not be soft on any hostile forces.

A few days later, news spread in Luanxian that Luancheng had been broken.

The defenders in the city knew that they were powerless to resist, and there was no chance of survival, and the people in the city were indifferent to hide, or even hidden, and they would not defend the city with their enemies at all, and some even secretly attacked their guards at night, which made people uneasy day and night.

What is even more unexpected is that someone rebelled against the low-level military attachés in the guards, because the soldiers of the Northern Qi Restoration Army, there were men who could not survive from Yuyang County, Beiping County, and Yan County that day, or they fled to the northwest of Liaoxi because they were recruited by the Gao family, distributed food and weapons, and secretly cultivated this army.

In this Northern Qi Restoration Army, there are Luanxian people, and the number is more than 100 people, some are already school captains, team officials, when they go home to visit relatives, they are successfully rebelled, and they plan to secretly surrender to the Northern Shuluo Army, so there is this easy break of the city, and they have won the right to control the city without launching a frontal attack.
