The war was one-sided, and the outside of the surrendered city was chaotic, many old and weak women and children living outside the city hurriedly rushed to support, and went straight to the surrendered city, they wanted to escape, fled to the city, where there was the protection of the Xianbei adults, after entering, there was no need to be afraid of the killing of the Han people.

It's just that the closed gate of the surrendered city clearly told them that they had no chance to enter the city at all, no matter how hard they begged, the Xianbei clan in the city had no intention of opening the door, after all, there were too many Han troops attacking at night outside the city, and they couldn't resist when they opened the door.

On the tower of the surrendered city, Zhi Luoluo, who had just been woken up by his own soldiers from the slave girl who was sleeping in the room, looked at the chaos of the fire under the city and the wolf rushing, which suddenly made his body softened when he had just vented on the slave girl.

"How so? How so? How did the Han people come? How did you come......" Zhi Luo Luo said as if he was frightened, the fiasco of the Han army a few years ago is still very deep in his memory, not to mention that now it can be seen at a glance outside the city that there are tens of thousands of Han troops, which is more than several times the number of soldiers and horses in his city, which really makes him afraid.

"My lord, now that the Han army is on the offensive, what should it be?" The nobles of other small tribes in the western Xianbei came to the city, and when they saw the chaos under the city, they also had no idea, and hurriedly asked the Zhiluo Dao beside them, Xianbei is a grassland people, and naturally the strong are the mainstay, and the Zhiluo Luoluo is the great nobleman of Xianbei in the west, and he should become the supreme commander in the surrendered city now.

"Hmm...... Order, close the city gates, no matter who answers the door, no one shall open it, and those who violate it will be beheaded! ”

At that moment, Zhi Luo Luo responded coldly for the first time, he knew that with Helian transferring the elite of Xianbei in the west before, now there are more than 5,000 soldiers outside the city who have surrendered to the city, not counting the more than 5,000 soldiers outside the city. Even if you add the Xianbei women who can go to the battlefield in the city, there will not be more than 2,500 people, and if you want to resist the tens of thousands of Han troops outside the city with these 2,500 people, it is simply a fool's dream.

Therefore, in any case, the Xianbei people in the city must not fight against the Han army with a huge disparity in power, and the only way to do this is to stick to the city, never open the door, and defend the surrendered city that is strong for the Xianbei people.

In the hearts of the Xianbei steppe people, for them who are not good at building cities and defending them, even if they do not repair the surrendered city, this city where the Han and the Huns are constantly changing hands is a fortified city on the grassland.

So as long as they stick to the city and wait for the opportunity, they must still have a chance to live, as for the same clan outside the city, they can't do anything, in the face of survival, even their relatives can give up, all for the continuation of the grassland people.

"No!" The little nobleman got the order and hurriedly prepared to go down to give the order.

However, soon, he stopped him by shouting "slowly", and then in his puzzled gaze, he heard Zhiluo continue: "Let people pile up the city gate with sand and soil, seal the gate to block the Han army, and then order all the people in the city who can draw bows to carry bows and arrows to the city tower to standby, prepare more feather arrows in the city tower, and defend the surrendered city." ”

"No!"

As the little nobleman got the order again, he looked up at Luo Luo, and saw that he had no other orders, so he turned around and left, for the order of this great nobleman in the west, he agreed very much, after all, the troops in the surrendered city are obviously inferior to the Han army outside the city, so naturally they can't fight hard with the Han army.

Whether it was blocking the city gate so that the Han army could not break through it quickly, or letting all the people in the city who could draw bows and arrows carry bows and arrows upstairs, it was all to strengthen the defense of the surrendered city. Although there are still some rolling wood stones left by the Han people on the upper floor of the surrendered city, but those are old objects, after the Xianbei people took the surrendered city, the number left here is not much, even if someone proposed to prepare rolling wood and stones to strengthen the defense of the surrendered city, but they were all rejected, after all, the grassland people are not Han people, advocating free and easy field warfare, where will they like to shrink the city head like the Han people.

Therefore, it is believed that the Xianbei people in the surrendered city, if they defend against the Han people, may only need to throw a few rounds of rolling wood and stones, and they will use up the rolling wood stones left by the Han people on the city.

The fighting outside the city soon subsided, and no matter how the men in the hurriedly gathered place resisted, the five small resistance groups in Xianbei were soon suppressed by the Han army. Among the five rebel groups, regardless of men and women, as long as they held weapons, even if they knelt directly on the ground and shouted surrender, it had no effect, and they were all completely killed by the Han army who had already killed the red eye.

The whole battle, about a little more than an hour, soon there was no more noise and shouting outside the city, and the fire in the sky was dazzling, telling the surrounding grassland people that this surrendered city was no longer safe at this time, and the Xianbei people no longer had a trace of their footprints outside the city except for guarding the inner city.

"Report!" There was a loud shout in front of Fuquan, and the source of the sound was a knight who was reporting the news. With the shout of the horse's "law", the knight reined in his horse's head, skillfully dismounted, and said: "Returning to the general, the Xianbei people outside the surrendered city have been driven and killed, and more than 6,000 people have been captured...... The gates of the surrendered city are closed and cannot be quickly descended, so please go to the general to make a decision. ”

"Hmm!" Fu Quan nodded, and then said to Duan Cheng beside him: "Duan Gong, the Xianbei ahead has been cleared, why don't we go and have a look, how about it?" ”

"The general has an order, and the last general should follow." After speaking, Fu Quan and Duan Cheng took more than 100 people behind them to the outside of the surrendered city.

At this time, after Guan Yu and others cleaned up the Xianbei tribe outside the surrendered city, they wanted to make persistent efforts to break the surrendered city, but it was obvious that the western Xianbei was the majority of Xianbei after all, and the chaos was naturally very vigilant, and it was a matter of their lives, so they didn't open the door at all, and for the Han army to get close to breaking the door, it was to shoot random arrows, so that Guan Yu and others After a tentative attack, hundreds of people were killed and injured in vain, and nothing was found.

When Fuquan entered the battlefield, his eyes were full of devastation, and most of the tents and huts of the Xianbei tribe were burned down except for a few. Along the road, many Han and Qiang cavalry searched for goods that could be found in the tents and huts of various tribes, which was promised by Fuquan at the beginning of the war, so they could only frown slightly and turn a blind eye to it, while Duan Cheng, Jia Xu and others around them were accustomed to it and had no other ideas at all.

Duan Cheng was peaceful in the past, and the tactics he used were desperate offensive tactics based on war and warfare, and he encountered the collapse of the central finance of the Han Dynasty, and the palace of Emperor Huan was damaged and he had no money to repair it, and he had to pool money for him to pay for military expenses. As for Jia Xu, who is in the border county of Liangzhou, of course, he has heard more about the atmosphere of the soldiers in the border counties, and frankly speaking, the soldiers of the border counties are more in line with the atmosphere of the soldiers since the founding of the Han Dynasty than the soldiers in the interior, after all, most places in the interior have not been at war for a long time, and many soldiers have become professional training soldiers who only eat money and food, and the soldiers of the border counties, because they often fight with foreign races, have always inherited and reserved the atmosphere of the Han army since the founding of the country since the founding of Guangwu.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the military system has been a professional soldier, and to put it bluntly, you have to pay money to fight a war. Therefore, often the army goes out, in addition to the court to give a reward similar to the opening fee of the Republic of China period in later generations, in order to motivate the soldiers are to let the soldiers themselves capture the spoils of war, if it is good to defend the countryside, the capture can also make the local generals and the government "reasonable record", and finally in the routine distribution, but like the expedition outside the fortress, then you have to directly promise to the soldiers to rob, so that those soldiers will give up their lives out of the fortress, and can ensure that the high morale is not dispersed, and fight with the enemy, otherwise, there is no money, who wants to accompany you to run outside the fortress to play for your life.

Don't talk about it far away, just talk about Dou Xian's attack on the Northern Xiongnu in order to atone for his crimes, and the Manchu Dynasty did not agree to Dou Xian's expedition at that time, except that he knew that Dou Xian was doing so in order to atone for his crimes, and second, because the imperial court was dragged down by the Hanqiang Hundred Years War, its own treasury was empty, and it was underused, and now it has to open up another front.

Moreover, at that time, the Xiongnu had already been divided, and with the annexation of the Southern Xiongnu, the power of the Northern Xiongnu was not as good as before, and even they were in danger of civil strife and could not go south. After all, with the national policy of the Han Dynasty, as long as the frontier is not threatened, who knows that with the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Shangshu, the Han Dynasty asked the Han Dynasty to send troops and the Southern Xiongnu to attack the Northern Xiongnu together, so that the Xiongnu merged, and attached to the Han Dynasty together, at that time the ministers were opposed, after all, it costs money to fight, not to mention to help the Southern Xiongnu destroy the Northern Xiongnu, and the existing national policy of the Han Dynasty is to let the Southern and Northern Xiongnu fight on the grassland, and the Southern Xiongnu as a medium between the Han and the Northern Xiongnu, Now that the Northern Xiongnu are really going to be destroyed, it is obviously not in line with the national policy, and no one can guarantee whether this will be better.

However, Dou Xian's sister Empress Zhangde, who was in charge of the government at that time, did not oppose the suggestion of the Southern Xiongnu, but relied on her own rights to face the Manchu ministers and tried her best to promote this matter, after all, as a younger sister, he couldn't watch his brother die. Even if his brother Dou Xian was arrogant and domineering because he was a relative, and even committed a big crime because he killed his relatives in the Han family, no matter how it was, it was his brother, and the Han family has always had a precedent for atonement, as long as it is not a mortal crime involving rebellion, small crimes can be atonemented with money, and major crimes can be atonemented with merit, so for such a great achievement as the conquest of the Northern Xiongnu, the queen Dou naturally has to strongly agree.

In the end, this was the matter of Dou Xian atoning for his death, attacking the Northern Huns, Yan Ran Stone, and atoning for his sins. However, Dou Xian's northern expedition, the Han court did not provide much funds, and even the soldiers and horses he brought were only more than 5,000 temporary Han soldiers and horses.

As for the more than 30,000 foreign servants of the Hu people such as the Southern Xiongnu, it was because the Hu people played the war, and the Han family basically did not spend much money on the Hu people in this war, and Dou Xian had no money in his hands at that time, in order to be able to motivate the soldiers to junior high school, Dou Xian clearly told his soldiers that they could rob at will after winning the battle. After all, no matter when, as long as there are rewards in the dynasties, such as land, money, etc., the soldiers can work hard like chicken blood.

Now, the Han army led by Fu Quan is naturally the same as Dou Xian's Han army, explaining that they are here to fight, saying that they are secretly here to rob. Since the beginning of this dynasty, with the establishment of the country with the light and martial arts, the national policy for the soldiers is to recruit professional soldiers, and the soldiers are directly allowed to loot by themselves in the war, and the country no longer cares.

In his previous life, Fuquan had always heard people talk about the advantages of conscription soldiers being better than professional soldiers, and the benefits of the all-people military system, but in his opinion, it was pure nonsense, and the combat effectiveness of these two armies, which was better or worse, was not at all a casual comparison that could be said clearly. After all, the conscription system can ensure that the army's high-quality soldiers will not be sharply reduced, after all, because of compulsory training, the whole country is not bad for high-intensity training soldiers, and they can be constantly replaced, but this method of forcing soldiers to join the army will lead to a sharp decrease in the army's combat effectiveness because of the lack of combat enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Otherwise, if the top brass of the army embezzles the soldiers' salaries and spoils, it will be impossible to make the soldiers sell their lives, so that this system of mercenary professional soldiers, which can stimulate the morale of the soldiers to the greatest extent, will have no effect at all.

In addition, the professional soldier system does not have a reasonable system for eliminating soldiers, so that soldiers grow from childhood to old age, and it is also very worrying for the combat effectiveness of the army. After all, if an army has many veterans who are about 60 years old and whose physical functions are gradually declining, even if these veterans have rich combat experience, their combat effectiveness will decline because of their age.

Therefore, it is impossible to compare the so-called conscripts better than the professional soldiers, on the contrary, if the conscripts and the professional soldiers are set up in the same way, the combat effectiveness of the professional soldiers is much better than that of the conscripts.

After all, in ancient times, when there was no education of the whole people in later generations, how many people would listen to you talk about the national righteousness? In their opinion, as long as they live well, who rules in a different way, aren't they all enslaved by the ruler in the same way? Even in later generations, if we make every effort to popularize education, won't there be many people who do not accept the call-up and who rules their mentality?

Therefore, no government can guarantee whether its conscripts will voluntarily join the army, and the government's mandatory service cannot guarantee their enthusiasm for participating in the war at all, except in the early days of the Celestial Empire, which was brainwashed from the beginning and strongly restricted free ideas in every way. It's just obvious that after all, that is a minority, and it won't last long, once there is a lack of control, it is easier to breed the soil of corruption than the professional soldier system, resulting in the complete decay and degeneration of the entire army, and the people's army really belongs to the people? No, the people's army belongs only to the state, and as for serving the people, it is better to say that the people serve the country and the army well, and they are corrupt from top to bottom with the people's money.

As for the professional soldier system, as long as it is not a non-resource situation, those who choose to become soldiers for the sake of wealth and wealth, under the temptation of money, women, land, and so on, have no other way out, and of course they will fight desperately.

And the combat effectiveness of this system can only be defeated when encountering troops with stronger willpower than them, and it is obvious that under the premise that various material and spiritual civilizations in ancient times lacked, this kind of army could not be born.
