Chapter 1013 Battle Arrangements on the Northern Front
When Qu Mao returned to Maocheng, the fifth-tier city wall of Maocheng had been built and encircled. The guard army mobilized 10,000 second-tier archers and 5,000 third-tier swordsmen to garrison Maocheng, and the imperial guards added 5,000 third-tier soldiers. The first-level princess guards and 5,000 fourth-level guards are stationed in Maocheng. The base camp of the magic army on the battlefield of Moner Hou is set in Maocheng. The army also arranged 20,000 fourth-level crusaders and 10,000 fourth-level gods. Crossbowmen stationed in Maocheng.
With nearly 60,000 soldiers stationed in Maocheng, plus the defensive bonus of the fifth-tier city wall, I am afraid that the Mughal Empire's invading troops will storm Maocheng. Without organizing 600,000 troops, there is basically no possibility of capturing it. The 600,000 troops are equivalent to the entire strength of the Mughal Empire's invading troops.
Reinforcements from the Mughal Empire's invading forces continue to arrive, but not in large numbers right now.
The first batch of immigrants mobilized by Su Qiaoer in the Holy Land of Yihou Territory did not arrive in Maocheng, but Maocheng's professional fortification team has already gone to support the construction of other towns.
Yancheng has also completed the construction and encirclement of the fifth-tier city wall. The army camp, guard army camp, and guard army camp on the grassland have all been cancelled. The camps of the three troops have all been transferred to Maocheng and Yancheng. Troops and large infantry units were also mobilized by heroes of various armies to the vicinity of construction sites in other border towns.
When Qu Mao entered Maocheng, Maocheng was already a complete and straightforward military fortress. Soldiers who were not on duty chose to guard the construction to earn extra wages.
A large cistern with a length of 40 meters, a width of 20 meters and a depth of 10 meters was excavated on the square outside the Maocheng City Hall. The granary, material warehouse, city lord's mansion and city hall have all been constructed beside the cistern. , each block has water diversion and drainage ditches.
One military camp and one medical room were built in the center of Maocheng and at the corners of the four city walls. After the original addition of 1.5 million reinforcements, the military rations and marching tents on the battlefield of the Marquis of Moner were in a state of serious shortage, but the construction of Five barracks, at least the soldiers camp can be resolved.
At present, the barracks are still in the stage of upgrading from the first-tier barracks to the second-tier barracks. They can only play half of the effectiveness of the first-tier barracks, but there is no problem in accommodating 5,000 soldiers.
Compared to when Qu Mao and Su Yan first came here, many soldiers slept in the open air around the bonfire at night, and now they are much happier.
After returning to Maocheng, Qu Mao added some shadows of blacksmith shops and carpentry workshops, and at the same time arranged for the third-level riding post to go to Yancheng, more than 30 kilometers away, to inform the heroes there to come to Maocheng for a meeting.
When the intelligence personnel stationed in Maocheng saw Qu Mao came back, they went directly to Qu Mao. While handing over the battle reports accumulated on the battlefield of the Qingyi Dukedom to Qu Mao, they also introduced the progress of the Moner Marquis battlefield in the past week or so.
Qu Mao saw that the battle report of the Qingyi Principality battlefield was generally from the beginning of May, so he put it in his backpack and didn't bother to read it.
On the battlefield of the Marquis of Moner, Xinping has sent staff from the Ministry of Intelligence to follow the navy's fleet to deliver military supplies to the port of Moner, preparing to build an intelligence distribution center and a carrier pigeon breeding center in Maocheng. Maocheng is a well-deserved front line for the Warlord Empire to use its troops.
The naval food fleet has arrived at Yantian Port in the Principality of Tassel, and it is expected to arrive at Moner Port to unload the ship around tomorrow evening and replenish it to Maocheng. It is estimated that it will not be later than May 15th at the latest, but Qu Mao is not there. The idea of Maocheng staying until May 15th.
The reinforcements of the Mughal Empire’s invasion force continued to increase, but after 10 days it increased to more than 1 million people. Qu Mao believed that there was still a high probability that it would not be able to do so.
After this round of food supply, it is estimated that the walls of 13 towns will be completed, and the follow-up will be to upgrade the outer walls and improve the buildings in the city.
At 11:00 p.m. on May 12th in the fifth year of Tianxuan, the heroes who received Qu Mao's order had already gathered in Maocheng City Lord's Mansion.
Qu Mao glanced at all the heroes, and then introduced to all the heroes the situation of his construction of towns on the western front of the northern border. Su Buqing also told Qu Mao that Su Yan had completed the construction of four towns on the eastern front of the northern border and had returned to the Principality of Tassel explained.
Qu Mao nodded and said: "In addition to the originally planned Moner Port and 12 towns, I built an additional one with a side length of 1 km at the junction of the three forces of Moner, Mughal Empire and Murphy Marquis. Now there are only 2,000 third-tier princess guards and 10,000 fourth-tier light cavalry guarding the construction of the small military town, and you will pay attention to replenishing troops in the future."
Su Buqing said: "Yes, my lord. Reinforcements will be sent tomorrow. Now that the walls of Maocheng and Yancheng have been built, the troops here can already be released."
Qu Maodao: "Counting the Port of Moner, on the battlefield of the Marquis of Moner, there are a total of 14 towns where we confronted the Mughal Empire, so I hope you will firmly control the Mughal Empire's invasion forces. Outside the borders, no matter how much the Mughal Empire's invading forces increased.
The specific defense plan and combat tasks, you can figure it out later, I will go to the battlefield of the Qingyi Dukedom to see.
After I left, six heroes of the Army, six heroes of the Imperial Guard, five heroes of the Garrison, and two heroes of the Administration Department gathered a total of 19 heroes here, not counting Port Monell, even if it is a town Garrison a hero, you can do it too.
But I don’t care how you arrange it. After I leave, Su Buqing will be the supreme commander in the northern battlefield, and Mo Yangqiao and Jia Kui will be the deputy commanders. If you have something to discuss, the three of you will discuss it. If there is a conflict, Su Buqing’s decision shall prevail. . "
Su Buqing cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my lord! Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will make arrangements."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "All military decisions are in the charge of the three of you. After the intelligence personnel sent by Xinping set up the information transmission channel, they will report to me in time if there are major changes. If there are no major changes, just submit a battle report once every three days. "
Su Buqing said: "Yes, my lord! The subordinates will remember it, please rest assured, my lord!"
Qu Mao glanced at Mo Yangqiao, seeing a hint of dissatisfaction in Mo Yangqiao's eyes, and said to Mo Yangqiao: "Mo Yangqiao, if you have any differences, you can discuss them with each other.
But once Su Buqing makes a decision, no one is allowed to act against Su Buqing's decision, otherwise I will never forgive him lightly. "
Mo Yangqiao curled his lips, cupped his hands again, and said: "Yes, my lord! This subordinate obeys orders!
Please don't worry, my lord, the subordinates are also people who have led soldiers and know how to obey orders! "
