Chapter 1002 Maocheng and Yancheng

At 1 pm on April 28th in the fifth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Su Yan led 15,000 cavalry. After a night and a day of rapid marching, they finally arrived at the Yihou Territory Army on the border between the Marquis of Moner and the Mughal Empire. big camp.

   Zhang He, Gao Lan and Lu Bu came out to meet Qu Mao and Su Yan together, but Qu Mao frowned tightly after seeing this situation.

  When the three heroes came to the front, Qu Mao asked: "Why didn't the three of you lead your troops separately to carry out border defense and confrontation missions, but why did you get together?

   Isn't this a gap for the Mughal Empire invasion forces to attack? "

  Zhang He bowed his hands and saluted: "My lord, the 200,000 army has been divided into six parts and spread on six different points on the 1,200-kilometer border.

  The three subordinates have been assisting Lord Yan Liang and Lord Wenchou in recruiting new fighters for the past few days, so they gathered together. Rest assured, the fighters did not gather here. "

   Qu Mao frowned again, and asked, "Why don't you see Yan Liang and Wen Qiu?"

Gao Lan said: "My lord, Master Su Qiaoer is leading 1,500 craftsmen to build a town here, so Lord Yan Liang and Lord Wenchou led the troops to meet Master Su Qiaoer and her craftsmen based on the original intention of adapting the newly recruited soldiers. Troops up.

  Due to the recruitment of a large number of soldiers this time, the number of soldiers here has rapidly increased by 3 times, and there is a shortage of military rations. Master Su Qiaoer just brought a large amount of military rations. "

   Qu Mao nodded and asked, "Where is Mo Yangqiao? Has Mo Yangqiao's troops been recruited? Has anyone helped Master Mo Yangqiao recruit new soldiers?"

   Lu Bu said: "My lord, Lord Mo Yangqiao is recruiting new soldiers at the Imperial Guard camp about 30 kilometers away from here. The heroes of the Imperial Guard and the Garrison are assisting Lord Mo Yangqiao in recruiting new soldiers.

  Army rations are one thing. In fact, the newly recruited soldiers don’t even have enough tents for marching. "

   Qu Mao said: "This is why the town should be built as soon as possible, and the construction of the town must be accelerated."

  Su Yan asked: "How much military rations did Qiaoer bring here?"

Zhang He replied: "Lord Su Yan, when the army came to garrison, they had already carried enough rations for 200,000 troops for three months. The rations of the Garrison, Imperial Guard and Magic Army were similar, but the number of soldiers suddenly expanded. 3 times, resulting in the existing military rations only enough to last for more than 20 days, but it is not the case that the rations are cut off now.

  Master Su Qiaoer is accompanied by 2 heroes, and Moner Marquis garrison hero Suramar is also here. There are only three heroes in total. Even if all the backpacks are packed with food, the food delivered is limited.

   Fortunately, Moner Port has been occupied by the navy, and the food from the Holy Land is shipped to Moner Port, which is a two-day voyage at most. "

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Since the food is still enough for more than half a month, Su Qiaoer and other three heroes are transporting food with their backpacks. It only takes two days for Port Monell to replenish food from the Holy Land. The food is large. No problem.

  However, let’s select soldiers on duty to build the city wall first. The town built here is called Maocheng, and the town built at the Imperial Guard camp is called Yancheng, named after me and Lord Su Yan respectively.

  For these two towns, first build a five-tier city wall facing the Mughal Empire. Maocheng and Yancheng have the same specifications, and the town specifications are five-tier city walls with a side length of two kilometers.

   Simultaneously build a granary and a material warehouse about 1 km inside the city wall. As long as the granary and material warehouse are built, a certain amount of grain can be taken regularly.

  Because the granary and material warehouse will directly communicate with the warehouse of the lord's hut, but the amount of food taken is limited by the number of residents, which is better than nothing.

   When the armies confront each other, don't treat the soldiers badly in terms of food.

  In addition, for a total of 1,200 kilometers of the border, the troops need to do a good job of patrolling to prevent the invading troops of the Mughal Empire from infiltrating. "

Zhang He bowed his hands and saluted: "Yes, my lord. Lord Gao Lan and Lord Lu Bu will accompany you and Lord Su Yan to build Maocheng here. The subordinates will immediately send a message to the camp of the imperial guards to let Lord Su Buqing Start the construction of Yan City with Master Mo Yangqiao."

Qu Mao nodded, waved his hand again, and said, "Zhang He, please wait for a while, first tell me briefly about the terrain between the Imperial Guard camp and the Great Lake, and then I will draw the blueprint for the construction plan of Yan City." After that, you take it to Su Buqing and Mo Yangqiao."

  Zhang He immediately took out a military map and explained the surrounding terrain to Qu Mao.

  Su Yan led Gao Lan and Lu Bu to the north, and asked, "Lord Gao Lan, have the towns on the border of the entire Marquis of Moner started construction?"

Gao Lan shook her head and said: "Master Su Yan, the main force of the Mughal Empire's invasion force is currently gathered here, so Lord Su Qiaoer plans to arrange the construction tasks of Maocheng and Yancheng here first, and then from Moghul Empire After the Marquis of Nair, the Marquis of Lianhe and the Principality of Liusu mobilize more manpower, they will build the other 10 towns.

But Lord Su Yan doesn’t have to worry. Now our army and garrison have set up hundreds of simple beacon towers on the 1200-kilometer border to monitor the movement of the Mughal Empire’s invading troops in real time. Once the Mughal Empire is found in other areas The traces of the invading troops will light the beacon to send warning messages.

  We have enough mobile troops to deal with the invasion forces of the Mughal Empire. After all, including the soldiers recruited by Mo Yangqiao, Yan Liang, and Wen Qiu, our military strength is already 4 times that of the Mughal Empire invasion forces.

   It’s just that the lord didn’t make a clear order. As long as the lord gives a clear order, the subordinates think that our 2 million troops can crush at least half of the Mughal Empire anytime and anywhere. "

  While speaking, a group of people had already rushed to the place where the northern city wall was to be built. Su Yan immediately chose the fifth-tier city wall from the building panel of Yihou Territory, and used the construction on duty.

  Wait until Qu Mao finished drawing the blueprints for the construction of Yancheng and handed it over to Zhang He, who asked Zhang He to order the guards to walk towards the camp of the Imperial Guards, then Qu Mao began to walk towards Su Yan.

  After Su Yan arranged the construction of the five-tier city wall, Gao Lan and Lu Bu immediately arranged for soldiers without military missions to go in and guard the construction.

   Qu Mao glanced at the fifth-tiered city wall that was being guarded under construction, and said: "The city wall is being constructed on duty, working in shifts day and night, don't stop."

Afterwards, Qu Mao and Su Yan led Gao Lan and Lu Bu to the south for about one kilometer, picked a good location and began to use the on-duty construction to build material warehouses and granaries. By the way, they also started on-duty construction of buildings such as zero-level houses and the city lord's mansion. .

  Even if the guards are soldiers, the gamified guard construction will not affect the efficiency. After Su Qiaoer’s craftsmen come, just use the guard construction plus real construction to speed up the construction speed.
