Chapter 1007 City building and raids
Obviously the Mughal Empire also saw clearly that the Yihou Territory was trying to build a city on the border to ensure that low-level troops could confront their own cavalry at the border.
It's just that the Mughal Empire's invading troops still don't know how many troops there are in the Yihou territory. They just feel that the confronting troops have increased. However, the scouts of the Mughal Empire's invading troops only found that Qu Mao and Su Yan had 15,000 troops Entering the confrontation area, but did not see other troops coming to help.
On May 1, the fifth year of Tianxuan, Su Qiaoer and Suramar left the Imperial Guard camp and the construction site of Yancheng together. Su Qiaoer quickly turned to the east and went straight to Moner Port; Suramar continued Head south to the King's City of Mornell.
Before Qu Mao and Su Yan had time to leave the Yancheng construction site, the cavalry of the Mughal Empire's invasion force launched another charge on the Yancheng construction site.
Although an hour later, the cavalry of the Mughal Empire’s invasion force retreated directly after dropping the corpses of more than 1,000 cavalry soldiers, but less than two hours later, the direction of the Maocheng construction site was ignited again.
Obviously, the Mughal Empire's invading troops did not want to give the Yihou Territory a stable and peaceful town construction environment, and tried to hinder the progress of the Yihou Territory's town construction through continuous harassment.
By 3:00 pm on May 1st, Tianxuan, the Mughal Empire invasion forces had carried out similar harassment actions seven times.
Qu Mao stayed in a zero-level residential house at the construction site of Yancheng, and his veins were throbbing with anger. Su Yan comforted Qu Mao and said, "My lord, apparently the commander of the Mughal Empire's invasion force has also analyzed that once our town is built, They have nothing to gain by confronting us.
And it is very likely that we will face the use of high-level fighters to confront the low-level fighters we rely on in the town, so it is reasonable to harass our city building.
Besides, we don't have to care about the harassment of the Mughal Empire's invading troops. They will lose troops every time they are harassed, but we have almost no losses.
We can use soldiers to guard the construction. Even if they harass us fiercely, as long as we don't destroy our buildings under construction, our construction progress will basically not be affected. Why are you angry? "
Exorcism thought for a while, and said: "This is also the reason. Listening to what you said, I think the harassment of the Mughal Empire's invading troops is exactly what we want. We can continue to eat away at the vitality of the Mughal Empire's invading troops."
Mo Yangqiao, who was sitting on the side, said: "My lord, our army has assembled more than 1.8 million troops here, and the Mughal Empire's invasion force on the opposite side has a total strength of about 500,000.
Although they have increased their strength several times recently, their subordinates believe that their strength should not exceed 800,000.
We have such a large force advantage, and they are repeatedly harassing our fortification operations. Otherwise, once and for all, we dispatch once and directly destroy the camp of the Mughal Empire's invading troops. The big deal is not to occupy the Mughal Empire. Territory chant.
After the battle, the Mughal Empire’s invasion force will gather another 800,000 troops. I’m afraid it will be several months later, and it will also meet your anticipation, my lord. "
Su Yan said: "Lord Mo, this seems inappropriate.
But now the Mughal Empire’s invading forces finally gathered together. We have to build a total of 12 towns along the long border. Once the Mughal Empire’s invading forces are completely dispersed by us, they will no longer gather, but along the 1200 kilometers of continuous harassment of our fortification operations, it is not conducive to our defense at this stage. "
Su Buqing led the army to patrol outside, and Wei Qubing was in the zero-level residence of Qu Mao, after thinking about it, Wei Qubing said: "My lord, Mo lord, my subordinates think what Su Yan said is very reasonable.
Our troops are superior, so the initiative is always in our hands. Now the invasion rhythm of the Mughal Empire's invasion forces is not frequent, and every attack is in line with our army's expectations. This is a positive factor for us. .
After all, in the small-scale raids and harassment operations organized by the Mughal Empire, the damage ratio every time is that they are greater than us. Slowly, our military advantage is bound to become greater and greater.
Once we spend about 10 days to build the outer city walls of Maocheng and Yancheng, the low-level infantry soldiers will be stationed in Maocheng and Yancheng, and the cavalry will go out to stop the enemy, then the Mughal Empire invasion troops will be even more uncomfortable.
Even breaking down the camp of the Mughal Empire's invading troops can be placed after the outer walls of the 12 towns are all built.
Whether it is defending the city or maneuvering troops, we have an overall advantage, so whether it is confrontation or annihilation, isn't the initiative all on our side? "
Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said: "In less than a day, the two towns under construction have been harassed seven times. Isn't that frequent? It's already very frequent.
However, my core idea is that the more than 2 million troops assembled by the Marquis of Moner will be used as the main force to attack the Mughal Empire in the future. The confrontation between the Marquis of Moner and the Mughal Empire is mainly a process of training troops. So I don't want our troops to lose too much.
Mo Yangqiao, once the outer walls of the 12 towns are built, you'd better urge the construction of at least one army barracks inside each town, which will be used to upgrade the soldiers who have accumulated military merits in confrontational sporadic battles, and will form an enemy of the Mughals in the future. The main force of the empire's war.
At this stage, it is not good to always be harassed by the Mughal Empire invasion forces. We need to fight back to show our attitude.
Inform the intelligence department to strengthen the collection of intelligence. It is really not possible. Ask Zhao Pan if there are any soldiers in the special warfare training class who take turns, and send them into the territory of the Mughal Empire to carry out sabotage and attract the attention of the Mughal Empire's invading troops. . "
Mo Yangqiao said: "Yes, my lord. The subordinate will go to Lord Su Buqing later and ask him to arrange front-line intelligence personnel to report to you.
The subordinates agree with your lord’s proposal to counterattack once to show our attitude. We must use our military might, three times the enemy’s strength, to fight so uselessly. "
Qu Mao glared at Mo Yangqiao, and said, "I'm not a coward now, it's just that I'm quiet and the enemy moves, and I'm a little passive.
No, you can continue to spread the news that Su Yan and I are at the construction site in Yancheng, and see if you can lure the snake out of the hole again and make a big wave. "
Su Yan said: "My lord, let Su Buqing, Jia Kui and Yan Liang participate in the discussion. In fact, my subordinates don't really want to break up the Mughal Empire invasion force at this stage."
Qu Mao said: "It is enough to eliminate some enemy fighters, it is not necessary to disperse them."
