'female captives', need hadith explained

assalam alaikum,
What does this hadith mean? is it allowed for the soldiers to have
sexual relations with the female captives? Captives would be scared of
opposing army soldiers and wouldn't agree for such relations, so were they
violated?
sorry for any misconception.

MUSLIM, Book 008, Number 3371:
Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa'id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0
Abu Sa'id, did you hear Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
mentioning al-'azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi'l-Mustaliq and
took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were
suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also
desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with
them but by observing 'azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before
emission of semen to avoid-conception). But we said: We are doing an act
whereas Allah's Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked
Allah's Mes- senger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not
matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the
Day of Resurrection will be born.
