Chapter 1390： Gather soldiers

On January 20th, the fourteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui, under the **** of 200 fourth-rank camel riders, sent Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao to Xirong City, and then passed the two-way portal in the center of Xirong City, personally Send Su Yan and Mo Yangqiao to the steam train back to the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory, and then return to Xirong City together.

  Subsequently, Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui convened a meeting of 32 military heroes from the Marquis of Shaliu in the City Hall of Xirong City. The Intelligence Department of Xirong City was stationed in the hero Sunan, so naturally they also attended the meeting.

At the beginning of the establishment of the territory of Shaliuhou Kingdom, the territory of Emperor Yi had already decided to equip the Kingdom of Shaliuhou with 160,000 firearms soldiers, plus the recruitment coupons for 7,121 traditional rank fighters obtained from opening treasure boxes, and the gifts sent by Su Yan. With 200 fourth-rank camel riders, the military strength of Marquis Shaliu is infinitely close to 170,000.

However, due to the harsh climate and environment of Shaliuhou State, most of the 160,000 Firearms Army soldiers gathered in Xirong City, mainly because Xirong City initially built four military camps. After the Holy Land arrived by steam train, Xirong City urgently built 20 military camps.

  Among the 11 towns in the Shaliuhou Kingdom, which has the largest number of barracks and accommodates the largest number of soldiers, of course Xirong City has the strongest ability to accommodate troops.

  The 32 military heroes, even if they were stationed in other towns before, were notified by Liu Qianhui in advance to come to Xirong City for a meeting.

   Qu Mao took a look at the military heroes who were crowded in the city hall of Xirong City. He didn't speak, but just glanced at Liu Qianhui.

Liu Qianhui coughed, cleared her throat, and said, "Everyone, the original intention of the establishment of the Marquis of Shaliu was to build a base and base belonging to Emperor Yi's territory on the Western Continent, and at the same time open up the relationship with our ally, the Fulu Empire. — the land link between them.

Today, a total of 11 towns in the Kingdom of Shaliu have all been built, and they have the ability to garrison troops and provide relay stations for desert marches. Therefore, we must consider fulfilling the original intention of the establishment of the Kingdom of Shaliu: to open up the land with the Fulu Empire. connect.

  There are two forces that hinder our land connection with the Fulu Empire, one is the Maoqiusi Kingdom of the Fulu Alliance, and the other is the Marquis of Erstan.

  The Marquis of Erstein is handed over to our ally Fulu Empire to attack, but the Kingdom of Maoqiusi needs us to get through it ourselves.

  After capturing the Moon City of the Maoqiusi Kingdom, as long as our allies send troops to the Lieyang City of the Maoqiusi Kingdom, the land connection channel between us will be opened.

Our country of Shaliu is not completely unprepared. We have built a city on the moon and a city on the moon in the northwest and southwest of the lower moon city of Maoqiusi Kingdom. These two towns have now been built separately. Well 8 barracks.

My idea is: before the end of January in the fourteenth year of Tianxuan, the Firearms Army of the Marquis of Shaliu must mobilize at least 120,000 soldiers to station in Moon City and Mid Moon City; , We dispatched soldiers from the Firearms Army to completely capture Yuexia City by surprise, and prevented Yuexia City from asking for help and sending messages to other towns in the Maoqiusi Kingdom.

   Of course, Yuexia City is just a small city. According to the size of its walls, I estimate that the total population living in it will not exceed 20,000, and the number of soldiers stationed there will not exceed 2,000.

With the advanced weapons and equipment of our firearms soldiers, I think it will be a matter of minutes to take down Yuexia City, but the problem is that we have to take down Yuexia City quietly, we must not leak any news, and we cannot let Yuexia City Get in touch with other cities and towns in the kingdom of Moguls.

  Everyone, once we can quietly capture the city under the moon, it means that the territory of our Marquis of Shaliu can extend more than 300 kilometers to the north, even if it is a desert area, it is also an expansion of the territory. At the same time, we can also capture some soldiers and civilians of the Maoqiusi Kingdom in the Lower Moon City, as well as the liaison personnel sent to get in touch with the Lower Moon City. "

  Shi Buhui stood up and said: "My lord, my lord Liu, I am willing to personally lead the soldiers of the Firearms Army to enter Yueshang City to garrison ahead of time, and I am willing to take on the task of quietly capturing Yuexia City..."

   Qu Mao and Liu Qianhui were noncommittal to Shi Buhui's challenge, but turned their attention to the intelligence department's garrison hero Sunan.

Sunan said: "My lord, my lord Liu, according to the information collected by the intelligence personnel, the permanent population of Yuexia City is less than 10,000, mainly the families of the frontier soldiers of the Maoqiusi Kingdom, and there are only 1,000 garrison troops, all of which are traditional There are only 300 second-tier fighters and as many as 700 first-tier fighters.

  The main source of livelihood for the residents of Moondown City is to capture desert poisonous scorpions. Every month in Maoqiusi Kingdom, a caravan of about 100 people will come to Moondown City to purchase desert poisonous scorpions captured by residents.

  The subordinates believe that after the artillery soldiers of the Firearms Army blast the city gate with artillery, we can capture all the soldiers and civilians in Yuexia City who have less than 10,000 people.

   Then you can set up an ambush to capture all the caravans that came from the Maoqiusi Kingdom in early February, and then set up an ambush to capture the liaison personnel sent by the Maoqiusi Kingdom.

Now there are two intelligence officers from the intelligence department lurking in Yuexia City. There is a desert spring in Yuexia City, and there are a few plants. There is no need to completely rely on the supply from Yidi's territory.

  The entire city under the moon is actually not a desert area, but the Gobi terrain on the edge of the desert. The further east and south there are more vegetation.

The small oasis closest to Yuexia City should be in the southeast direction about 35 kilometers away from Yuexia City. It has a small forest with an area of ​​about 1000 square meters and a tree height of more than 4 meters. A small pool, the depth of the pool is about 5 meters. "

   Qu Mao smiled wryly and said, "The 35-kilometer Gobi terrain distance is still a bit far.

A mouthful of sweet spring in the desert in Yuexia City may not be enough to support the total population of Shaliuhou Kingdom of nearly 400,000. According to my calculations, the desert spring in Yuexia City may be just enough to drink for less than 10,000 people in Yuexia City. This is the core reason why the scale of residents in Yuexia City cannot be expanded.

  However, no matter what the situation in Yuexia City is, we still need to take down Yuexia City and garrison troops in Yuexia City to confront Fulu Alliance and Maoqiusi Kingdom. "

  Liu Qianhui waved her hand and said, "Qu Mao, Sunan, let's stop talking about these useless things.

  Shi Buhui, don’t be in a hurry to call for battle. There are plenty of opportunities for combat and meritorious service. Now our core task is to discuss the specific arrangements for dispatching troops and combat. Let’s hurry up and gather troops in Moon City and Moon City. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Yes, gathering troops is very important. This is the prerequisite for combat. Supplies must also be delivered to Moon City and Mid Moon City in advance."
