On the morning of April 22, the fifth year of Tianxuan, Mo Yangqiao, Yan Liang and Wen Qiu led 5,000 fourth-order light cavalry and rode straight towards the border of the Monar Kingdom.

Of course, the backpacks of these three heroes already contain recruitment coupons that can recruit a total of 500,000 troops, including 400,000 third-level warriors, 60,000 fourth-level warriors, and 40,000 fifth-level warriors.

Although the three heroes all believed that high-level auxiliary warriors such as fifth-level priests were unnecessary, Qu Mao did not reduce it. It didn't matter. The cheating value was enough, so there was no need to save this point.

An additional 1.5 million troops were added, but the consumption of cheat points did not exceed 10 million points, which made Qu Mao feel indifferent.

With the large-scale construction of new town clusters in the Kingdom of Jili, the Kingdom of Napoleon, the Kingdom of Gilead and the Kingdom of Monair, Qu Mao will definitely gain massive cheating points again. There is no need to do this at this juncture when the Mughal Empire has officially declared war.

Click to save cheat points.

On the morning of April 22, the fifth year of Tianxuan, not long after Mo Yangqiao, Yan Liang and Wen Qiu left, Qu Mao and Su Yan, escorted by 1,000 fifth-level heavy cavalry, headed towards the desert in the northwest region of the Kingdom of Gillette.

Go to the edge.

Qu Mao and Su Yan have chosen this place to build a town and 8 villages. Since building a town on the edge of the desert is different from building a town cluster in a normal place, Qu Mao and Su Yan need to come and see it in person.

When Qu Mao and Su Yan rushed to the Shacheng construction site, 1,000 craftsmen mobilized from the Bo Tier Kingdom and Wang Zhan Kingdom had already arrived here, escorted by 5,000 fourth-order light cavalry, and were building a simple temporary camp.

After Qu Mao and Su Yan arrived, they asked 1,000 fifth-level heavy cavalry and 5,000 fourth-level light cavalry to take over the defense and escort matters. Qu Mao and Su Yan then attacked the planned construction area of ​​Shacheng and the surrounding villages within three kilometers.

All the terrain should be surveyed.

It is very difficult to build a town cluster on the edge of the desert. Water sources and materials are very serious problems. There is also a large temperature difference between day and night, and there are wind and sand disturbances from time to time.

Fortunately, after a round of inspection, Qu Mao discovered that there was not completely no water source. At least 2 kilometers southeast of Shacheng, there was still a small stream 20 centimeters deep and no more than 1 meter wide, slowly coming from the northeast.

Then it turns to flow southeast.

Although the flow of water is extremely rare, it seems that there is a possibility of a cutoff at any time, and this small amount of water alone is definitely not enough to support the construction of Sha Town and its surrounding villages, but it is better than no water source at all.

Qu Mao called the leader of the fourth-order light cavalry to guard the construction site of Shacheng, and asked the leader to find 100 craftsmen to go to the creek. Then Qu Mao took out the Shacheng construction planning drawings and began to modify them.

The first thing to be modified is to extend the location of the village near the southeast corner of the eight villages guarding Shacheng by 800 meters to the northeast, so that this small stream can be wrapped between the village and Shacheng.

Soon, 100 craftsmen came to Qu Mao. Qu Mao chose a place 5 meters away from the creek on the side of the creek close to Shacheng. He ordered the 100 craftsmen to divide into 10 groups and start working in 10 different places.

Dig a well.

At the same time, Qu Mao also asked the leader of the fourth-order light cavalry: "What is the current situation at the Shacheng construction site? Are the management personnel in charge of the Shacheng construction in place?"

The team leader replied: "Sir, the craftsmen arriving at the construction site in Shacheng are the craftsmen from the Bo Tier Kingdom and the Wang Zhan Kingdom. The superior's order is to take these craftsmen to prepare for the construction first.

Tomorrow morning, 500 craftsmen and 2,500 fourth-order light cavalry troops from the Abyss Kingdom will arrive; around the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, 2,000 craftsmen and 5,000 escort troops recruited from the Liusu Principality will arrive.

The person in charge of the Shacheng construction site was sent from Liusu Principality, so all matters will have to wait until the afternoon of tomorrow to become clearer.

The order I received is that after the first batch of immigrants from the Holy Land arrive at the end of April of the fifth year of Tianxuan, I will lead my troops to the King's City of Gilead to resume operations."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Your task is only to guard until the end of April. Have you heard about the number of the first batch of immigrants in the Holy Land?"

The team leader saluted respectfully and said: "Sir, in order to facilitate inspection by my subordinates, the superior officer has informed me of the number of immigrants in the first batch.

The first batch of immigrants to the Holy Land are expected to arrive at 1 noon on April 29, the fifth year of Tianxuan, mainly 10,000 households from outlying islands, with a total of more than 40,000 people.

Please rest assured, craftsmen will build residential houses for these 40,000 people before they arrive."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Well, in fact, ordinary residents move with their families, and there is no need to rush on the road..." Thinking that it was useless to tell the team leader these words, Qu Mao waved his hand and let the team leader go.

He was busy with his own affairs and talked to Su Yan instead.

After being busy for nearly a morning, 100 craftsmen dug ten wells. The deepest one was dug to a depth of 20 meters, and the shallowest one was dug to a depth of 15 meters, but no water came out.

Since the wells are being dug on the edge of the desert, the wellheads are very large. For wells with a depth of 20 meters, the diameter of the top wellhead is almost 20 meters.

Seeing that the sand around the edge of the well was still falling downwards, Qu Mao had to call all 100 craftsmen up and looked at the dug-out ground that was riddled with holes in a 100-meter square area.

Qu Mao immediately took out a pen and paper, made a sketch, took out the bamboo he had carried in his backpack since the Holy Land of Yihou was still a virgin forest, and asked 100 craftsmen to use bamboo and wooden boards to make a dam.

This 100-meter-square area was excavated into a reservoir. After all, there were 10 deep dry wells as the bottom.

Seeing Qu Mao's clear request, the leader of the fourth-order light cavalry unit immediately organized 500 fourth-order light cavalry to dismount their horses and unload their equipment to help with the excavation.

Afterwards, Qu Mao returned to the construction site of Shacheng and used on-duty construction to build a 15-kilometer-long five-level city wall, which was more or less able to withstand some of the nighttime wind and sand.

Later, duty construction was used to prioritize the construction of material warehouses and granaries in the planned construction area. With these two buildings, basic logistics can be guaranteed.

When we returned to the creek, a 100-meter-long, 3-meter-deep reservoir had been dug, and there were 10 places where it might be deeper.

Qu Mao then asked the craftsmen to dig a small trench 30 cm wide and 10 cm deep to divert water from the creek. Qu Mao was worried that digging too deep would interrupt the flow of the creek.

Qu Mao no longer thinks about how long it will take for such a trickle of water to fill up the huge reservoir.

After changing the sand city construction planning drawings again, Qu Mao said to Su Yan: "Su Yan, I'm afraid we have to contact Lundao Town to provide some plant seedlings and plant trees to prevent sand, even if the purpose of building sand city is to mine sand and excavate iron.

mine.

Tomorrow morning, the two of us have to go to the Monell Kingdom to see it."

Su Yan nodded and said: "Shacheng Construction's subordinates will make arrangements to go to the Monell Kingdom. I'd better go with you."
Chapter completed!
