They were not a pro army when they had their most important battles and also the officers did not get any sallary. So it happened that while the leader of the army was glorious his personal finances were going down the drain. If I remember right already Machiavelli wrote that there was nothing worse than professional army. Real people's army was much more effective and he had some concrete evidence beginning from the Romans to back that oppinion.
