In May and February of the fifth year of Tianxuan, the Mughal Empire's invading troops frequently raided Yancheng and Maocheng, which were under construction in Yihou territory, as usual. Qu Mao was left with no temper at all.

In order to deal with the intrusion of the Mughal Empire's invading troops, Qu Mao had to ask heroes such as Mo Yangqiao, Yan Liang and Wen Qiu to lead the fourth-order Crusaders and fourth-order Imperial Guard troops on the northern city wall under construction in the two towns.

Outside, another shield wall was erected for defense.

Other heroes led the cavalry and also patrolled and defended everywhere. The fifth-level palace guards and the fifth-level heavy cavalry did not remove their armor for at least half a day.

Qu Mao and Su Yan stayed at the Yancheng construction site. Faced with such wretched tactics of the Mughal Empire's invading troops, they had to suspend all other projects except the granary, material warehouse and medical room under construction.

Craftsmen and soldiers all devoted themselves to the construction of the city wall.

Now, what is being built is no longer just a northern city wall, but the walls around Yancheng are being constructed. Not only that, Qu Mao also sent people to send a message to Maocheng, asking the Maocheng construction site to undergo the same transformation.

Only when the four walls of the city are well constructed, even if there is nothing in the city, can the third-level swordsman troops and the second-level archer troops play a role in dealing with the invasion of the Mughal Empire. Otherwise, only the fourth-level crusaders can be used.

and the fourth-order Janissary troops to fight against the invasion of the Mughal Empire.

Su Qiaoer has returned to the Holy Land, and Suramar has also returned to King Monerhou's city to prepare to receive the city-building craftsmen sent from other independent territories.

However, after Qu Mao and Su Yan made adjustments at the Yancheng construction site, all craftsmen and soldiers are using duty construction and real-life construction to simultaneously build the Yancheng city wall. It is expected that the Yancheng city wall, totaling eight kilometers around Yancheng, will be completed in as soon as ten days.

The construction of the city wall is completed.

Qu Mao also made it clear to Su Yan that for the subsequent construction of the other ten towns, the first-level city wall can be built first, and then choose to upgrade to the fifth-level city wall step by step. Although the time will be doubled, the first-level city wall

After the construction is completed, third-level swordsmen and second-level archers can stand on the city wall to play a defensive role.

According to the situation monitored by the Army and the Imperial Guard, the Mughal Empire's invading troops are currently mainly concentrated near the construction sites of Yancheng and Maocheng. No large numbers of Mughal Empire's invading troops have been found in other areas, so Qu Mao wanted Sula to

Ma directly took the craftsmen rushing to help from other independent territories to a hundred kilometers west of Port Moner to build another town.

Before the Mughal Empire's invading troops react, they should be able to build the first-order city wall of the newly built town.

On the evening of May 2, the fifth year of Tianxuan, when the sun was about to fall below the horizon of the grassland, intelligence personnel from the Ministry of Intelligence finally arrived at the Yancheng construction site and got into the zero-level residential house where Qu Mao was located.

Qu Mao asked: "Today, the Maocheng construction site and the Yancheng construction site were attacked a total of 14 times by small groups of the Mughal Empire's invading troops, which gave me a headache.

Now, does your intelligence department know what they are doing in the base camp of the Mughal Empire's invasion force?"

The intelligence officer raised his hands and saluted: "Sir, according to the information fed back by the intelligence officers lurking over there: the Mughal Empire invasion force not only harassed our army from time to time to build the city, but also were about three kilometers behind the base camp of the Mughal Empire invasion force.

Here, they are also building a city.

Since there are mountains on both sides of the city building site, it is more convenient to collect stones. In addition, the Mughal Empire supported hundreds of thousands of civilians from the rear to help build the city. Therefore, their city building progress was much faster than our Maocheng and Yancheng construction progress.

According to the observations of intelligence personnel lurking there, the towns built by the Mughal Empire may be larger than our Maocheng and Yancheng. The base of the city wall is about 3 kilometers wide in front and about 5 kilometers deep.

The construction site for hundreds of thousands of people is much more massive than the construction sites in Maocheng and Yancheng here."

Qu Mao swept his brows and immediately spread out the map.

Su Yan on the side said quickly: "Sir, I think it is unlikely. When we build the city, we can use a combination of duty construction and actual construction, and the efficiency will definitely be very high.

The Mughal Empire's invading troops could only use realistic construction to build cities, and the towns they built were larger than the towns we built. How could they be faster than us?

Even though there are mountains on both sides of the town they are building, they need to mine their own building materials and build the city themselves. Even if they invest hundreds of thousands of people to build the city, their subordinates believe that the progress of their city construction will definitely not be as good as Maocheng and Yancheng.

We have now changed our strategy in Maocheng and Yancheng. We only need to build the four city walls and arrange and construct subsequent buildings in the city. We can directly use the resources and gold coins in the material warehouse of the Holy Land Lord's Lodge, and there is no need to even transport materials into the city.

.”

Qu Mao nodded and said: "That's the truth. The only reason why the intelligence officers feel that the progress there is faster is probably because the Mughal Empire has been harassing us to build the city, but no one from their side has harassed us."

After answering Su Yan, Qu Mao turned to look at the intelligence officer again and asked: "Is there any other intelligence coming from the Mughal Empire?"

The intelligence officer saluted again and said: "Sir, it is an inevitable trend for the Mughal Empire to increase its troops to the border. However, the intelligence personnel have not yet figured out when the large-scale increase in troops will occur.

Because the Mughal Emperor has issued a call-up order, requiring the affiliated kingdoms, principalities and princes to organize troops according to their respective levels and rush to the border of the Monair Kingdom to prepare for a full-scale invasion of the Monair Kingdom."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "You intelligence officers have worked hard. Go back and continue collecting intelligence. Keep in touch with us regularly. I won't take up too much of your time."

When the intelligence officers exited the zero-level residence where Qu Mao was located, Su Yan said: "Sir, it seems that the construction of the other 10 towns will be accelerated."

Qu Mao nodded and said, "Has the order to inform Suramar to quietly build a first-order city wall to surround the town 100 kilometers west of Port Moner been sent out?"

Su Yan said: "Sir, the messenger has been sent out."

Qu Mao said: "Since the Mughal Empire is recruiting troops from affiliated forces, it obviously doesn't want to confront us.

Call Su Buqing, Mo Yangqiao, Jia Kui and other heroes from the army to discuss the military response.

The invading troops of the Mughal Empire have been harassing our city construction. I also want to repay them once. I don't want to cause much damage to them, but it is rude to not come back.

At least we must affect the progress of their city building and eliminate some of their soldiers while minimizing the losses of our soldiers."

Su Yan said: "Yes, sir, I will inform the heroes to come for a meeting."
