Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 1572 Heading to the Front
On June 20, 6 Tianxuan, Qu Mao, who wandered around the city of Jab for a day, really couldn't wait, so he strongly demanded to continue to the front line, at least to the front line headquarters to meet Chafidel and Zhao Pan.

Qu Mao felt that it was very unreliable to wait for war lunatics like Chafidel and Zhao Pan to come back to see him.

On the way from the Kingdom of Shaliu to Jab City, Liu Qianhui arranged for 12 temporary supply stations prepared by the Firearms Army. About 1000 residents of the Kingdom of Shaliu were urgently building the city wall. The city wall was indeed built first. In a hurry, even the zero-level residential buildings were built with an average of less than 200 per supply station.

You must know that these 12 supply stations are not only the places where the Marquis of Shaliu intends to build new towns, but also need to meet the function of marching supplies for the Firearms Army.

Of course, it must be better than the firearms army just piling up supplies and setting up temporary marching tents.

Since the establishment of the Shaliuhou Kingdom, there have been basically only 15 towns. Even when the Emperor Yi's territory was stationed with 200 million soldiers, due to the special desert environment, the Shaliuhou Kingdom was not as strong as the other four branch territories. , to build a large number of military towns to accommodate permanent soldiers, this time building 12 towns at one time, Qu Mao thinks it is also a reasonable thing.

Once the city walls are built around the 12 marching supply stations in the desert, Qu Mao estimates that according to the number of firearms soldiers that each supply station can accommodate on a daily basis, a little bit of camel pasture seeds will be scattered randomly, just relying on the firearms that enter the town to rest every day The domestic sewage generated by the army soldiers will soon be able to grow camel grass seedlings in these towns.

With the protection of the city wall, it is impossible for the wind and sand to easily bury these camel grass seedlings. Therefore, there is a high probability that in half a year, the Kingdom of Shaliu will have 12 oases in the center of the desert.

The only bad thing is that these 12 newly built towns are all located in a straight line and cannot effectively form the depth of the territory.

But in the hinterland of the desert and the Gobi, it is good to be able to build towns and form oases, so what else is there to pursue?

Moreover, the purpose of the firearms army building these 12 midway supply stations is to reduce the loss of soldiers during the march. Without the protection of the city wall, it can reduce the number of soldiers lost during the march by nearly half.

Once it is built into a town, with the protection of the city wall, and the standing food and fresh water, perhaps marching from the Shaliuhou Kingdom to the Asan Empire, perhaps the entire journey can achieve zero casualties of soldiers. With this guarantee, the Firearms Army and the Army must be It will speed up the speed at which soldiers deploy to the battlefield.

In the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory and the independent territories of the Eastern Continent, if the garrison and imperial guards equipped with firearms are counted, at least 1000 million soldiers can be organized to fight on the battlefield.

The Marquis of Shaliu has a lot of experience in building towns in the desert. Since Liu Qianhui insists on starting the urbanization of twelve desert supply stations at the same time, she is sure of it.

When Qu Mao walked through the twelve towns under construction, although he was in a hurry, each town still left nearly ten tons of camel pasture seeds.

After all, the construction of the walls of these twelve towns will help Emperor Yi's territory's plan to attack the Western Continent. If there are vegetation and livable transformation results, it will naturally help the soldiers of Emperor Yi's territory to march.

Of course, Qu Mao passed by all the way and found that the firearms soldiers and army soldiers passing by the supply station would also actively help the residents of the Shaliuhou Kingdom with the construction of the city wall and other matters.

Qu Mao believed that the construction of the first-tier city walls of these twelve towns would be completed soon, and by then, the army of Emperor Yi's territory attacking the Western Continent would be able to travel through the desert area more safely.

Of course, Qu Mao waited for a day and a night in Jab City. Of course, Chafidel, Zhao Pan, Sirta Delta and Mrak Sir did not return to Jab City to see Qu Mao. Think about it carefully, Qu Mao I think it is also understandable. After all, these four are the early military heroes of the Yi Emperor Territory. Since the establishment of the Yi Emperor Territory 20 years ago, the most successful policy is the military merit system established in the early days. Therefore, these four military heroes see It is also reasonable that one cannot move one's legs due to one's military exploits.

There are currently 27 towns and 9 permanent garrison fortresses in the Kingdom of Shaliuhou. In fact, there are three temporary camps built by Tianxuan for the permanent soldiers of the Firearms Army in the periphery of Yuexia City. In fact, there are also three temporary camps. Many permanent buildings, except for the lack of city walls, are actually not much different from towns. There should be 18 towns in the Kingdom of Shaliu.

Except for the twelve towns that are transforming the supply stations into towns, the rest of the towns have been transformed into livable towns, at least more suitable for human habitation.

Qu Mao was even thinking about whether he would try to reclaim part of the cultivated land in the towns that had been rebuilt in the Marquis of Shaliu in the future. Of course, the amount does not need to be too much, just enough to harvest some grain, but he was worried that it would affect the hard-won reconstruction. A good town, I just thought about it in my heart.

Since the core heroes of the Western Continent Raiders, such as Chafidel, Zhao Pan, Sirta Delta and Sir Mrak, cannot wait, Qu Mao does not want to stay in Jab City any longer, even if the Firearms Army is stationed in Jab Although the officers in the city repeatedly obstructed him, Qu Mao still resolutely went to the front line to find Chafidel and the others in person.

The officers of the Firearms Army stationed in Jab City saw that they could not stop Qu Mao, so they had no choice but to select 500 fourth-rank camel riders, 2000 fourth-rank light cavalry, and 500 fifth-rank light cavalry from among the few fighters in Jab City. The first-order heavy cavalry formed a guard of 3000 people and escorted Qu Mao to the front line.

Originally, the garrison officers in Jab City had to match 5000 walking firearms soldiers, but Qu Mao refused on the grounds that it would affect the speed.

There is only a distance of more than 50 kilometers. How can the journey be delayed for a whole day or even a day and a night because of the infantry?

At 20 o'clock in the afternoon on June 6, 16, Qu Mao, who had 3000 cavalrymen, rode a war horse and set off from the north gate of Jab City. Jab City, continue to the north of the Asan Empire.

Chafidel, Zhao Pan and others were very cautious in their strategy in the Western Continent, and the speed of advancement was very slow, but every step they pushed was very solid, basically leaving no future troubles.

Therefore, Jab City has been managed very well. At least the original residents of the Asan Empire did not show any signs of rebelling against the troops stationed in the territory of Emperor Yi. Moreover, whether it was a village on the border or a town protected by a city wall, after the army of Emperor Yi occupied the territory, Asan The original residents of the empire were very cooperative, which was completely different from fighting against the Principality of Pengda on the Eastern Continent.

However, Qu Mao still wants to go to the front line wholeheartedly, and does not miss Jab City.
