Chapter 448 Building Villages and Solid Defenses
At 10:30 am on April 15th in the third year of Tianxuan, Zhao Pan came to Ji Village and found Qu Mao on the east wall.
Qu Mao said: "Zhao Pan, thank you for your hard work!"
Zhao Pan said: "My lord, it's not hard work! This is the responsibility of the subordinates. The number of enemy troops killed and injured in today's dawn offensive is unknown, but the established strategic goal of repairing the defensive towers on the south side of the stone road around Jicun has been completed. Realized, a total of three defensive towers have been repaired and four new defensive towers have been built.
Our army captured 1,128 prisoners of war, 19 of our soldiers were killed, 428 were injured, and 25 mounts were injured. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Does this mean that the cavalry regiment has lost its ability to charge?"
Zhao Pan shook his head and said, "My lord, how is that possible? We still have more than 150 cavalry? Moreover, none of the mounts were killed. At most, they just missed a few battles. After they recover from their injuries, they can continue to fight."
Qu Mao asked: "How many people are there in the army now?"
Zhao Pan said: "My lord, the army now has a total of 9,812 soldiers, including 3,314 first-tier fighters and second-tier fighters. There are 572 fifth-tier fighters, 83 sixth-tier fighters, and 13 seventh-tier fighters. The seventh-tier fighters are mainly seventh-tier senior magicians.
At present, the number of army soldiers gathered on Jidao has reached nearly 5,000, and there are almost 3,000 in the defense line of Jicun alone. "
Qu Mao nodded. The army of Yicun Territory has not exceeded 10,000 people in total, and almost all of the high-level fighters are on Jidao to fight against the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yicun Alliance.
Even so, the strength of the Yi Village Territory on Ji Island is still less than one-sixtieth of the landing force of the third invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. It is already very remarkable that this battle can be fought like this.
Xuande also climbed up the east wall of Ji Village, and said to Qu Mao: "Master, beyond my expectations, this morning's dawn offensive not only completed the set strategic goal, but also captured an additional 1128 prisoners of war. "
Qu Mao nuzzled Zhao Pan with his mouth, indicating that Xuande Zhao Pan had already made a report.
Xuande said: "My lord, this subordinate came to the front line of the emergency village in person this morning, and suddenly he had a new idea in his heart.
My lord, we are not counting Ji Village in the Jihai Emergency Line. There are only 3 villages in the south of the Jihai Emergency Line. The Jihai Emergency Line passes through the east and west gates of Ji Village, which means that only half of Ji Village is in Jihai Emergency. south of the line of defense.
None of these three villages were lost. During the entire days of fighting against the third batch of invasion fleet landing forces of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, the subordinates found that we were on the edge of every village south of the Jihai Emergency Line, and the Anti-Yi Village Alliance The deployment of the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops was at least three times that of the village north of the Jihai emergency line of defense.
Of course, if there are too many villages south of the Jihai Emergency Line of Defense, and the villages are too dense, this effect will not be achieved. It is nothing more than the width of a village moved southward by the Jihai Emergency Line of Defense.
Not for anything else, but just to lengthen the offensive surface of the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, it is worth building these dozens of villages.
My lord, do you know how much defense power our three villages in the south of Shikuai Road, Jihai Express Line of Defense, have these days? "
Qu Mao asked suspiciously: "Oh, how many troops are there for defense? I am alone in the south of Jihai's urgent line of defense, so there should be a lot of troops?"
Xuande shook his head and said, "My lord, compared to other villages, the three villages in the south each have 10 defensive towers and 2 watchtowers, but each village only has 100 first-tier fighters." , 50 Tier 2 fighters and 50 Tier 0 militiamen, and none of Tier 3 fighters and fighters above Tier 3, let alone heroes.
With this strength, in the previous battles, the anti-Yi village alliance's third batch of invasion fleet landing force, the thousand-man squadron, had totally resisted four attacks. My lord, each village was attacked more than once on average.
We didn't dispatch any army mobile troops to help. It was purely the defense provided by the village defense troops plus the defense towers, and other defense towers on the Jihai Emergency Line to stop the enemy. "
Qu Mao turned his questioning eyes to Kong Ming, and Kong Ming drew a circle in the air with a goose feather fan as a brush, and said, "My lord, if the defense is sufficient, it is true that some villages will be built next to the stone road to the south of Jihai's emergency line of defense." It can lengthen the attack length of the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance.
The premise is that there is no need for us to deploy additional mobile army troops to assist in the defense. The enemy only dispatched a 1,000-man team. It is estimated that they will not be able to attack our village on the south side of the stone road next to the Jihai Express Line of Defense, but 5,000-man troops are not enough. It's easy to say.
If there are a total of 15 villages to the south, it is not difficult for the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance to form 15 troops of 5,000 troops, but on average, the number of troops rushing to rescue each village is only about 200 up. "
Qu Mao pondered for a while, and said: "Xuande, it happens that Zhao Pan is here, you can build villages one by one, up to ten villages, you plan the area.
Since 10 defensive towers cannot withstand the attack of 5,000 troops, build 15 defensive towers in each village, increase the number of first-tier fighters to 200, and second-tier fighters to 100, and the number of militiamen remains unchanged.
Even if it can't withstand an army of 5,000, it can at least withstand the attack of an army of 2,000. "
Xuande said: "Yes, my lord! Before I came down, I also contacted Lord Su Yan. At present, the resources and gold coins in our territory can support the construction of more than 20 new villages without too much trouble.
The idea of the subordinates is that the cavalry corps made a surprise charge to break up the confrontation line of the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. There are five defense towers on each side of the vertical defense towers, which are well arranged, and it is enough to build one at an interval of 50 to 60 meters.
After building 15 defensive towers, build other buildings in the village in the area surrounded by the 15 defensive towers and the Jihai Emergency Line of Defense. With luck, ten villages can be completed in three days. "
Qu Mao said: "Everything is based on the safety of residents and army soldiers. I think the first-tier fighters, second-tier fighters and militia can be trained in Ji Village first, and then execute."
Xuande said: "Yes, my lord, this subordinate understands."
