Chapter 278 Raid Plan
After obtaining the information from the intelligence personnel about where the Mughal Empire's invasion force had promised, Qu Mao waved the intelligence personnel away. After all, they were front-line intelligence personnel of the Ministry of Intelligence, and Qu Mao did not want him to be delayed too long at the Yancheng construction site.
To increase the risk of exposure, the best arrangement for front-line intelligence personnel is to continue collecting local intelligence.
Now that it was known that the Mughal Empire's invasion force would build cities on the one hand and increase its troops on the other, Qu Mao naturally could not sit back and watch the Mughal Empire's execution go on so smoothly, so he asked Su Yan to summon the frontline heroes for a meeting as soon as possible.
At 7 o'clock in the evening on May 2, the fifth year of Tianxuan, almost all the heroes from the border confrontation forces between the Monair Kingdom and the Mughal Empire had arrived at the zero-level residential building on the construction site of Yancheng where Qu Mao was located.
The upper-class residences were packed to the brim.
A group of people were eating a simple military dinner in a zero-level residence while listening to Qu Mao introduce the intelligence given by intelligence personnel and Qu Mao's own thoughts.
Mo Yangqiao immediately cheered up and said: "Sir, are you not worried that we will disperse the Mughal Empire's invasion force? If we want to attack the Mughal Empire's invasion force, my subordinates think that we can just wipe it out in one go and wait for their reinforcements.
After arriving, we will once again eliminate their reinforcements, and at most we will not attack the territory of the Mughal Empire."
Su Buqing said: "Sir Mo, your intention is just to harass the city building over there and eliminate as many soldiers there as possible. If it is a complete defeat as you said, the price paid by our soldiers must be quite high."
Qu Mao asked: "Mo Yangqiao, the Mughal Empire is now recruiting warriors from affiliated forces. How many reinforcements do you think they can gather?"
Mo Yangqiao said: "Sir, the Mughal Empire has 3 vassal kingdoms, 3 direct principalities and 5 direct princes. Below the 3 vassal kingdoms there are vassal principalities, and below the vassal principalities there are vassal princes, subordinates.
I believe that if the Mughal Emperor ordered the recruitment, I am afraid that 2 million troops could be recruited to the front line."
Su Yan said: "If the Mughal Empire's invasion force receives 2 million reinforcements, then our military advantage will no longer be there."
Jia Kui smiled and said: "Lord Su Yan, we still have a military advantage. The Mughal Empire recruited reinforcements from affiliated forces. I am afraid that the troops are mainly second-level warriors and third-level warriors. Our warriors are relatively high-grade.
It should be higher."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Mo Yangqiao suggested that we defeat the Mughal Empire's invasion force before, but we are worried that after defeating the Mughal Empire's invasion force, it will put pressure on our 1,200-kilometer-long border defense.
.
If the Mughal Empire reinforces 2 million troops, then we will also face defense pressure along the 1,200-kilometer border."
Mo Yangqiao said excitedly: "Sir, we must resolutely eliminate their current invading troops and not give them a chance to gather with reinforcements."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "My idea is that before the reinforcements of the Mughal Empire's invasion force arrive, at least all the walls of the 12 towns on the border will be built. Even if the first-level city wall is built, no matter how late it is,
It's okay to upgrade slowly.
In addition, the 12 towns with city walls are guarded by our second-level archers and third-level swordsman troops.
Furthermore, without sacrificing our soldiers, we cannot always be passively harassed by the Mughal Empire's invading troops. This is not in line with our current force size and our combat intentions here.
To put it simply, I want to carry out a retaliatory raid on the city-building operations of the Mughal Empire's invading troops without losing troops. It doesn't matter whether they destroy the towns they are building, but they must not be allowed to live in peace.
Build the city steadily."
Yan Liang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Sir, in order to complete your low-loss or no-loss harassment operation, we must dispatch highly mobile troops.
All in all, the fourth-order light cavalry unit is more suitable, and the harassing fourth-order light cavalry unit cannot be surrounded by the enemy's fifth-order heavy cavalry unit in the Mughal Empire. Otherwise, no matter how elite our warriors are,
It can only be gradually eaten away by the enemy."
Zhang He echoed: "Master Yan Liang's views are the same as those of his subordinates, but my subordinates cannot agree that the fourth-order light cavalry troops will be easily blocked by the Mughal Empire within the territory of the Mughal Empire.
Our current confrontation area has at least 100 kilometers of open grassland between mountains and lakes. Any position is sufficient for our attacking fourth-order light cavalry troops to safely withdraw.
Even if the Mughal Empire's invasion force dispatches a large number of fifth-level heavy cavalry troops, our fourth-level light cavalry can even run farther. I believe that the existing forces of the Mughal Empire are not enough to block the 1,200-kilometer-long border.
Wire."
Lu Bu asked cautiously: "Sir, what if we can dispatch some troops to contain the fifth-order heavy cavalry in the camp of the Mughal Empire's invasion force?
Although we are going to attack and fight, our total strength far exceeds that of the Mughal Empire's invasion force."
Su Buqing's eyes lit up and he said: "Sir, send out multiple fourth-order light cavalry units to harass the Mughal Empire's city construction sites, and our heavy cavalry units will knock on the camp.
If the Mughal Empire's invading troops dare to return to defend the city construction site, we will take advantage of the situation and defeat their camp; if they defend the camp, our fourth-order light cavalry troops will withdraw directly after completing the harassment.
After all, there are still a large number of infantry soldiers guarding the city base and the Mughal invasion force camp. As long as their cavalry troops leave, the infantry will be useless."
A group of heroes began to discuss it.
After everyone had discussed clearly, Qu Mao said: "In this way, Su Buqing will lead 30,000 fifth-level palace guards, Yan Liang will lead 30,000 fifth-level heavy cavalry, and I will be knocking on the camp with the two of them.
And Wen Qiu, Mo Yangqiao and Wei Qubing each led a 5,000-level fourth-level light cavalry unit to attack Jian City from different directions. What do you think?"
Su Buqing said: "My lord, Lord Jia Kui will stay behind at the garrison camp. Sandru Lie and others will lead the fourth-level guards to guard the construction sites of Maocheng and Yancheng to prevent the enemy from changing cities with us."
Jia Kui said disdainfully: "Sir, we have 1.8 million troops here. Your troops are only 200,000. If you dare, the Mughal Empire's invasion troops will come. You can leave as many subordinates as you want."
However, the heavy cavalry is knocking on the camp, and there must be fourth-order crusaders and fourth-order guards to hold down the formation, otherwise it will be difficult to retreat."
The heroes continued to discuss the details of the attack, and finally decided to dispatch a total of 30,000 fourth-order light cavalry, 30,000 fifth-order palace guards, 35,000 fifth-order heavy cavalry, and a large number of fourth-order crusaders and fourth-order guards the next day.
, carried out retaliatory raids against the Mughal Empire.
