Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui stayed in Yuexia City until February 14th, the 14th year of Tianxuan, and took less than an hour on that day to capture all the reinforcements of 3,000 traditional rank fighters sent by Maoqiusi Kingdom. .
Subsequently, considering the harsh weather conditions in the desert during the day, Qu Mao asked Shi Buhui to immediately arrange for soldiers from the Firearms Army to **** the 3,000 prisoners back to Yueshang City.
After capturing another 3,000 prisoners of war at one time, Zhen Fu naturally needs to accompany the soldiers of the Firearms Army who escorted these 3,000 prisoners of war back to Moonshang City to return to Moonshang City. As a prisoner of the Kingdom of Si, Qu Mao didn't have much confidence.
After all, 3,000 traditional rank fighters were dispatched to rescue Yuexia City, but they were subdued by the firearms soldiers of the Marquis of Shaliu within 10 minutes, and they were all disarmed in only 1 hour. Fool, it is impossible to send such a small number of troops directly to rescue in the future.
After the battle ended in an hour, Qu Mao naturally wanted to call a meeting of the military heroes of the Marquis of Shaliu.
However, the scale of this military meeting is not large, that is, Qu Mao, Liu Qianhui, Sunan, Shi Buhui and the three military heroes of the Marquis of Shaliu.
Qu Mao said: "Liu Qianhui, Shi Buhui, we disarmed the reinforcements sent by the Maoqiusi Kingdom in less than an hour and escorted them to Yueshang City for disposal. I think the lord of the Maoqiusi Kingdom will not directly Sending troops to fight in the lower city of the moon, at least until the intelligence is clear, will not continue to send troops rashly.
So we need to deploy defenses outside Yuexia City. Now only four first-tier barracks have been built in Yuexia City. During the upgrade period, the first-tier barracks can only perform half of their functions, so peripheral defense is very important. "
Shi Buhui said: "My lord, in the past two weeks of investigation, my subordinates have scouted the terrain in all directions of Yuexia City to a great extent. After all, this side belongs to the Gobi terrain, and there are no tall trees or valleys to be found. For use by firearms soldiers.
The 5,000 soldiers of the Firearms Army who were outside before the start of the war today were only temporary troops stationed outside, and no permanent garrison positions were established.
Starting today, my subordinates will build at least nine permanent garrison positions in the area outside Yuexia City, and at least 1,000 Firearms soldiers will be permanently stationed in each position..."
While reporting to Qu Mao, Shi Buhui hung the simple map on the wall.
Qu Mao kept raising his own questions, and as a military hero, Liu Qianhui also fully participated.
Finally, after a whole morning of exchanges and communication, Qu Mao, Liu Qianhui, and Shi Buhui finally picked out nine sites in the east, southeast, and south directions of Yuexia City that could be used to build permanent garrisons.
These nine permanent garrison positions are all large or small oases. The most important thing is that these nine places have fresh water sources, no matter whether they are large fresh water sources or small fresh water sources, at least there are fresh water sources.
In the Gobi region where there is severe water shortage, these nine fresh water sources in the wild can not only provide the necessary psychological comfort to the soldiers stationed in the Firearms Army, but also cut off the possibility of self-supply of the enemy along the way.
Qu Mao knocked on the table and said: "Shi Buhui, arrange for the soldiers of the Firearms Army to station at these nine places as soon as possible and build defensive positions.
In the early days, all the camels we owned could be lent to these firearms troops stationed abroad, and even the mounts of the fourth-level camel riders were temporarily recruited for support.
Those fresh water sources may not be able to meet the daily needs of 1,000 firearms soldiers, so each of the nine garrisons outside the city will arrange a military hero, and fill the hero's backpack with fresh water and military rations. "
Shi Buhui nodded, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, these matters will be arranged naturally by my subordinates, please don't worry, my lord."
Su Nan said: "My lord, the intelligence personnel sent to contact the Emperor of the Fulu Empire have not received any intelligence feedback, but my subordinates think that we should tell the Emperor of the Fulu Empire where we stationed troops outside the city of Yuexia.
It may take several months for the Fulu Empire to send troops to break through the Estanhou Kingdom between the Maoqiusi Kingdom and the Fulu Empire. "
Qu Mao nodded and said: "For the Fulu Empire, remember to pass on the information of the Marquis of Salix to them in time. There is no need to urge them. After all, it will take a long time for our Marquis of Salix to develop to be self-sufficient." time.
Now, let's make arrangements for our own independent confrontation with the Maoqiusi Kingdom. "
Liu Qianhui said disdainfully: "Qu Mao, I don't think there is any problem in dealing with the possible counterattack of the Maoqiusi Kingdom.
Now first build the area where the permanent garrison positions have been selected, and immediately arrange for the soldiers of the Firearms Army to be stationed.
Once the four barracks in Yuexia City are upgraded to the second level, I want to mobilize 50,000 firearms soldiers to garrison Yuexia City..."
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Most of the 160,000 Firearms Army soldiers of the Marquis of Shaliu will be deployed in the three towns of Moon City, Moon City, and Moon City. Reaching under the walls of our town will cost you troops.
Permanent garrison positions do not need to be built into villages or city walls. After all, even an oasis with water sources may not be suitable for our residents to survive in a short time.
Our firearms soldiers can fill sand with cloth bags, straw bags, etc., and build a sandbag wall one or two meters high in the direction facing the enemy. "
Shi Buhui thought for a while, and said: "My lord, the Gobi also has extreme weather, so my subordinates think that the sandbag wall with a height of one or two meters should be built in a closed state, leaving a one-way door."
Qu Mao said: "Yes, the soldiers stationed in the Firearms Army can use the fresh water source of the station to continue planting trees. After all, we will supply their domestic water.
Now the green planting technical experts of Liandao Green City are doing research in Shaliuhou, and will definitely research the seedlings suitable for planting here in the future. "
Sunan said: "My lord, I want to build another carrier pigeon breeding center in Yuexia City. The carrier pigeon breeding center built in Shaliu City can breed carrier pigeons, but most of the carrier pigeons can't fly out of the desert area. The environment in the desert area is too harsh." Bad."
Qu Mao said: "Yes, let's focus on improving the living environment of the desert.
I don’t really want to gather mine owners and entrepreneurs from the Holy Land or the main continent of the Eastern Continent to develop the metal mines in Shaliuhou Kingdom in the short term. The living environment has not improved, and there is basically no benefit. "
Liu Qianhui nodded and said, "I think so too."
