You can't always treat them as children's shelters, and you always need to give them a chance to perform.

On the battlefield, as Wang Cai expected, the peasant soldiers rushed into the battlefield, and as soon as they fought with the Liao State, there were casualties.

These peasant soldiers only have the enthusiasm to kill people and want to make meritorious contributions, but because of the short training time, their own ability is not very strong, and when they really encounter the enemy and fight to the death, it is difficult to avoid casualties.

But it doesn't matter, this is originally a process of big waves and sand, how can you see a beautiful rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?

More than 10,000 peasant soldiers entered the battlefield, and immediately reversed the disadvantage of the lack of strength of the dragon army. The confidence of the Liao army that originally wanted to fight back also began to collapse psychologically in the face of these lifeless peasant soldiers.

It didn't take long for him to fall into the process of escaping again.

This battle lasted from dark to dawn, and from dawn to dark, it pursued for hundreds of miles, and finally stopped at a place twenty miles below the city of Anzhou.

The scouts have already sent news that in Anzhou City, Yi Yangxian, the patriarch of the Yi family, has requisitioned 50,000 Liao troops to wait for them. Without making complete preparations, it was pointed out that the less than 20,000 dragon army would never be able to capture Anzhou City.

After more than a day of chasing the enemy, Hu Yanqing and the others didn't even have a chance to eat, and now they finally stopped to rest, so they took out the dry food on their bodies and ate them.

Luncheon meat, ham sausages, self-heating rice, and compressed biscuits were all taken out.

The appearance of these foods also made the eyes of the more than 20,000 Liao soldiers who were captured by them very hot. But now that they have even had their weapons confiscated, they really don't dare to raise any thoughts of robbery.

"Okay, you don't have to be greedy, as long as you join the dragon army, you will have these things in the future, and you can even eat them until you vomit." After Hu Yanqing noticed the gaze of these captives, he couldn't help but laugh.

These words were heard in the ears of the captives, but they did not believe them eleven thousand.

It's so delicious that you can vomit, who is it to lie?

Even if the food of the Dragon Empire is more abundant than that of the Liao Kingdom, they are already very satisfied if they can eat two full meals a day, and they still eat until they vomit, so they can deceive the ghosts.

Soon, however, this mind will be changed. As Commander Mu Huan led the main force of the division to join Hu Yanqing and others, he also brought a large amount of food, and an iron pot was set up, and all kinds of rich food were put into the pot, and the aroma soon overflowed and drifted far away.

Mu Huan also took this opportunity to recruit Hu Yanqing and Wang Cai to his eyes, and asked about the current situation of the army.

Hu Yanqing was too tired to say anything, so he handed over the opportunity to report to Wang Cai, and then he opened his mouth to report: "Division commander, in this battle, we have eliminated about 15,000 Liao troops, and captured about 22,000 people from the other side, and the other party has really fled back to Anzhou City with more than 20,000 people, including various weapons and war horses, as well as countless grains and grass."

"Okay, well done." Mu Huan was also very happy when he heard this, in this battle, their first division only dispatched less than 20,000 troops, but they won so many gains, it can definitely be called a big victory.

"Well, tell me about our losses and shortcomings." In addition to being happy, Mu Huan asked another question.

This is also Su Shi's strict requirements, every time after a summary, as long as you can find your own shortcomings in time, and give the fastest correction, such an army will make the fastest progress and will be more powerful.

"Yes. Division commander, we have some losses in this battle. About 300 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded, but most of them were minor injuries and could be returned to the team after treatment. As for the 12,000 peasant soldiers, the losses were greater, with more than 5,000 killed and about 1,000 wounded, and only 6,000 survived unharmed."

"Oh, that's a lot of loss." Hearing that half of the peasant soldiers were either killed or injured in battle, Mu Huan's expression had a heavy meaning.

But soon, he returned to normal, and as a general with troops, of course he knew that fighting a war would kill people. It can be obtained at such a small price

Such a big victory is already a very good result.

"How did the 6,000 who survived? How many enemies did they kill, or did they just wander around on the battlefield to save their lives?" Mu Huan quickly asked another question.

No wonder he asked like this, on the battlefield, the people who may not survive are elites, some people don't move forward at all, and they run back crazy when something is wrong, and the probability of such people surviving is also very high.

"They didn't wander away, most of them were trying to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and there would be no mistake with the soldiers of our 2nd and 3rd brigades supervising this. Of course, there are more than 200 of them who are cowardly and afraid of the enemy, and we have also written down these people, and when we turn around, we will kick them out of the army and go home to be a common man." Wang Cai replied loudly, obviously they have also made some preparations and measures in this regard.

"Yes, such cowardly people deserve to be soldiers, and they should not have such an honor, go back and report the list of more than 200 people, send them home, and notify the Ministry of Political Affairs, these people's families will also be treated strictly in the future, including their children, hey."

Speaking of these, Mu Huan also let out a sigh.

Although these people are not deserters, they are not much worse than deserters. Even if they are unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the Dragon Empire, then they are not eligible to enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment given by the Dragon Empire.

For example, if they can receive a monthly subsidy for helping peasants and soldiers, it must be stopped, not only that, if they want to do business in the future, they will not have the slightest preferential treatment at all, that is, their children will not have the opportunity to become government workers of the Dragon Empire in the future, or even the qualification to go to school will be exploited.

This is also one of Su Shi's orders.

He didn't have the idea of forcing the people to be peasants and soldiers, but if you are willing to join the army, then be prepared to sacrifice.

For example, the kind of person who enjoys the benefits of joining the army, but refuses to use his life when he goes to the battlefield, such a person will be severely punished if he catches one.

Of course, those who perform poorly will be punished, and those who perform well will be rewarded. There are also nearly 6,000 peasant soldiers who have performed well, and they will soon remove that rib word and become peasant soldiers. There are even better performers, and it is not impossible to become an auxiliary soldier.

Once you become an auxiliary, you will enjoy all kinds of benefits, which is the greatest wish of many non-Han soldiers.

As for wanting to become an excellent regular soldier, it has to be a Han soldier. This can not be done by making meritorious contributions on the battlefield, but also requires them to have a correct understanding, identify with the Han people, and write an application, and only after they have changed their nationality after strict assessment.

The reason why it is so cumbersome is also that Su Shi is laying the best foundation for the strength of the Dragon Empire. Otherwise, the foundation is not solid, and if you want to become strong, it is simply delusional, and it is impossible.

"Very good, there are good seedlings to be added to our first division first. By the way, listen to Your Majesty's meaning, if this battle is fought well, the fourth division of the People's Army may be built in the future, Deputy Division Commander Huyan, you have a good chance." Hearing that there were so many meritorious personnel, Mu Huan quickly laughed.

"Hey, hey." Hu Yanqing immediately laughed at this meeting.

Now he is the deputy division commander, but it is more accurate to say that he is the brigade commander. But if he can be promoted to division commander, it is equivalent to being able to lead a division alone, and his strength is several times that of now, and being able to bring more soldiers is of course what Hu Yanqing has always wanted to do.

"Okay, whether the Fourth Division will be established or not is a matter for Your Majesty and the military department to decide, and now we still have to start on the present, that is, how to fight this battle well. Get a good rest today, and prepare for the siege early tomorrow morning. Hum! Do you really think that we can't do anything to you if you hide in the city? Let's show you how powerful drones and the first generation of dragon bombs are."

When talking about these, Mu Huan was full of confidence. In fact, when he first saw the power of the dragon bullet, he was also frightened.

He was frightened, and he believed that as soon as the dragon bullet came out, the Liao army would definitely be scared as well.

......

Anju City, inside the city.

Looking at Xiao Guo and Yi Baiqing, who fled back in embarrassment, Yi Yangxian didn't know what to say.

An army of 60,000 men,

It's only been more than two days, and not even half of them have escaped, so I really don't know how they fought this battle.

"The head of the family, there is a mistake in the subordinates, please punish them." Yi Baiqing knelt on the ground with a flushed face and said.

Yi Yangxian didn't really get angry, after all, there was still an outsider, General Xiao Yuan. Besides, Yi Baiqing belongs to the most powerful general in the Yi clan, if he is cleaned up now, who will fight the next battle?

Yourself?

His old bones are a little difficult to even get on the horse, and fighting is definitely not what he does.

"Hey, Han people often say that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and losing a game is nothing, as long as you perform well in the future, it will be considered to make up for it."

"Thank you family master, please rest assured, I will live on the city tower in the future, as long as I am alive, I will never let the dragon army enter the city." Yi Baiqing said reassuringly. He's already lost one game, and he's going to have to take his chances.

"Yes, it's good to have that faith. In addition, the patriarch is telling you good news, what happened here has been spread by the fast horse, I believe that it will not be long before the reinforcements of Da Liao will appear, and at that time, we should be united inside and outside, and it is time for new and old hatreds to be counted together."

At this moment, Yi Yangxian is still very confident. How to say that Anzhou City is also a city with high walls, he wants to see if there is a better way for the Long Army to face such a big city.

Anzhou is not the main city of the Yi family, but this time Yi Yangxian appeared here with a full 50,000 reinforcements, originally prepared to join Yi Baiqing's department, but now he was forced to hide in the city.
