The cavalry of the Sui army had already rushed into Linyu Pass. This mountain city, which was surrounded by mountains, was only a few miles in a radius. It was soon filled with cavalry and suppressed to death. The cavalry and infantry combined, and the Northern Qi army in Xiongguan Mountain City was no longer able to resist.

The battle lasted for half an hour and it all ended. Ten thousand defenders in the city were killed and injured more than 4,000. The rest were switched to flee to Yan County and went to Gao Shengtan's main army.

The entire pass was lost and regained, and it has become an important pass to curb the entry of all troops from Liaodong into the pass, and its strategic position is extremely important.

Luo Zhaoyun sent infantry into the city, cleared the battlefield, cleared the stone bullets, arrows, corpses, etc. covered in the city, and then re-garrisoned the troops here, and then decided how to get out of seclusion and fight the main force of the Northern Qi Restoration.

Xue Wanren and Mai Mengcai took the military record, and the soldiers joined the army to count the soldiers and horses, record the list of injured and killed soldiers, household registration, etc. They all had waist signs on them, name, origin, etc., and after they died in battle, they compared them with the detailed information on the military account book, so that the accurate information of the deceased can be determined. According to the new regulations of the General Administration, martyrs must be added in the future, and their families must be exempted from taxes and labor service, and pensions must be sent to them.

The surviving soldiers were surprised to see the records in the army. After detailed the list of the dead and inquiring about the amount of the pension, they were all surprised. The dead in the battle were posthumously named the martyr. The record was that his family was the martyr's family, and they could be exempted from five years of taxes and corvee service. The pension was 10 yuan a year, and they would be given five years in a row.

Moreover, the families and children of martyrs enjoy priority policies in terms of admission, land distribution, and relief.

This was simply supreme glory. Many soldiers were a little excited when they heard this. One was passed through ten, ten was passed through hundreds, and all were enthusiastic.

Because in the past, when conscripted troops to attack Liaodong, it was a waste of time to die. No one was interested in it. Not only did they bring their own clothes and rations, but their families were not placed in their place after death. Therefore, 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 heard that the General Administration of Shaomai Luo issued new reward and punishment regulations, it was very different from before, they cheered. They were not afraid of death, but they were worried that death was worthless, even the life was not as good as the dog, and their families did not take care of it. The court's policies were disheartening, who would be willing to work hard?

It was very different at this time. Everyone was cheering for the new rules and sincerely supporting them. Even if they died in battle, they would not be wronged. They could earn a pension to make settlement expenses, reduce the family tax burden, and their children could enjoy some privileges. This is the glory that soldiers should have.

"The court finally considered us poor people."

"What court is the general administration and the decision of Mr. Luo. The soldiers in other places are still not as good as dogs' lives. Only soldiers from the four northern counties can receive such treatment."

"The young marshal is really polite to the soldiers. He treats us well with sincerity!"

There were a lot of discussions in the military camp, and they were very supportive of the new regulations and policies, and they were all hotly discussed, and their morale was rising.

This kind of sentiment of serving the people will greatly enhance the combat morale of soldiers. It is conceivable that they will inevitably become more brave when fighting again.

Luo Zhaoyun entered the mountain city at dusk and stood on the north-facing wall of Xiongguan. This wall blocked the army outside the pass. The towers stood majestic, surrounded by mountains, and looked lonely and desolate.

"Marson, Beiping County has basically settled down. When will the troops be sent to rescue Yan County?" Xue Wanren was a little impatient and longed to continue fighting.

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment and said in a deep thought: "No hurry. After General Mai brought his troops here, our army's forces will be integrated and then we will come out of the pass. The Gao clans have been preparing for 20 or 30 years. The main forces are outside the pass, and there are nomadic cavalry such as the Khitans and Xi. The battle outside the pass is related to our decisive battle with this descendant of Northern Qi."

Xue Wanren and others nodded and understood the coach's idea.

"What's the situation in Luan County?"

Mai Mengcai learned some news from his father's scout and replied: "It is being besieged. At present, Luancheng is surrounded on all sides, and 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. No one in the city will respond to them and fight for them. This is an isolated army and cannot be defended for many days."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly. He was thinking about a question, which was to train the dead soldiers to set up letters in various cities. Once this happens, organize a group of people to attack a certain city gate at night, and the soldiers can enter the outside world. The soldiers are treacherous, so it will be much easier to seize the city.

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

"The Marshal has sent out about fifty fire teams and twenty traveling sentries, and will be sent back to Yan County and western Liaoning at any time."

"That's good." Luo Zhaoyun did not have too much impression of Northern Qi. In history, there seemed to be only one Lanling King Gao Changgong, who was very famous. The descendants of the Northern Qi Gao clan were all very handsome, but their personality was very extreme and they often went to extremes in their work. It can be said that Northern Qi was a more bloodthirsty, chaotic, and cold-blooded dynasty in Chinese history. The demise of Northern Qi was also caused by his own kings. Whether it was the royal family or the nobles, there were not many good things.

Now there is an acquaintance of Gao's team, Gao Yufei. After spending a while, I can't talk much about it, nor have I ever thought about it.

"I hope I don't meet on the battlefield, otherwise it would be a bit cruel to see acquaintances destroyed in the military formation with my own eyes." Luo Zhaoyun sighed in his heart, but he would not be ruthless even if he was really alive, because this is not a personal grudge. He can be generous and repay the grudge with kindness. At this moment, he is fighting for territory and luck, which involves the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. Once Luo Zhaoyun leads his troops, he will be responsible to the generals and soldiers, and will not be ruthless to any hostile force.

A few days later, news spread in Luan County and Luancheng was broken.

The defenders in the city knew that they could not resist and had no chance to survive. The people in the city hid indifferently, or even could not hide, and would not defend the city with the same hatred as them. Some even secretly attacked their patrols at night, which made people uneasy day and night.

What is even more unexpected is that someone instigated the low-level military officers who guarded the stroke. Because the soldiers who were restored to the Northern Qi Dynasty had the male soldiers who could not survive from Yuyang County, Beiping County, and Yan County that day, or were evading recruiting soldiers from Liaodong, they fled to the northwest of western Liaoning. They were unable to escape and were recruited by Gao's family, gathered, and released food and weapons, and secretly cultivated this army.

In this Northern Qi Restoration team, there were people from Luan County, and there were more than 100 people. Some of them were already lieutenants and the team was in charge. When they went home to visit their relatives, they were successfully instigated and planned to surrender to the Northern Shisha Luo family army. Therefore, this time, the city was easily broken and the city was seized without a head-on attack.
