A 'sir' took advantage of the umbrella and ran into the tent, muttering, "The rain here is so heavy! It's like it's going to be!"

Gan Ning immediately had an idea and quickly stepped up and grabbed the umbrella from his hand. The 'Mr.' was startled and quickly saluted: "I'm not here to see the general!"

Gan Ning tossed and looked at the umbrella over and over again, laughed and said, "I have a way! Youping, we can also make umbrellas for the cannon!"

Zhou Tai immediately understood and gave Gan Ning a thumbs up, "Xingba! You are so good!" Gan Ning laughed.

Zhou Taixing said angrily: "I'll let someone make an umbrella for the cannon!" As he said that, he quickly stepped out of the tent.

Only then did Gan Ning notice the 'sir' who had just come in and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Mr." clasped his fists and said, "General, we can basically communicate with those barbarian prisoners!"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Mr.’ replied: “The barbarians are not only one tribe, there are as many as seventeen tribes. They form a country like a tribal alliance. Among them, the barbarians living in the northwest are the most powerful and the head of the tribal alliance! In addition, in addition to them, there is another tribal alliance in this area. They are different from the barbarians we encounter. They live in an oasis in the desert north, with a large number of camel cavalry. The two tribal alliances are enemies for hundreds of years and have been quarreling endlessly. This is like a closed small world!”

Gan Ning nodded and asked, "Is it possible to contact these tribes?"

"Yes! There are a few prisoners willing to be our guide!"

Gan Ning said: "This is left in advance! Let's talk about it when repelling the attack of the barbarians! You must be prepared, and the candidates for missions will be produced among you!" "Yes! General, if there is nothing else, you will be resigned!" "Well, go down!" The 'Sir' bowed to Gan Ning and left the tent.

Before the evening of that day, Zhou Tai urged his men to build hundreds of simple cannons.

The next day, the rain was slightly smaller than yesterday, but the world was still hazy.

Tens of thousands of barbarians and more than 2,000 battle elephants appeared again in front of the Qin army camp. This time, the battle elephants carried several baskets of soil on their backs. It seemed that they planned to fill the soil with soil when they encountered a trap again.

Gan Ning stood on the watchtower and laughed: "I have a good show today!"

Zhou Tai, who was standing beside him, said, "Xingba, I'll go down and prepare!" Gan Ning hurriedly said, "Youping, you'll be in charge, I'll go!" Yu Luo, without waiting for Zhou Tai to respond, ran down from the watchtower. Zhou Tai couldn't help but smile.

The unique barbarian army's skin drums sounded loudly, and more than two thousand war elephants roared together, shaking the sky with amazing momentum.

Immediately afterwards, with the roar of a barbarian leader, more than 300 battle elephants rushed out together and rushed towards the Qin army camp. When the more than 300 battle elephants rushed halfway, a loud thunderous sound suddenly appeared in the Qin army camp, and the fire flashed. All the barbarian soldiers were shocked, and the ferocious battle elephants also seemed a little panicked.

The sound of air being torn apart came from the sky, and then a war elephant was suddenly knocked to the ground by a huge force, and there was a loud noise from heavy objects hitting the body or the ground.

The assault cluster consisting of more than 300 battle elephants was immediately in chaos. The battle elephants did not obey the master's orders and ran around. At the same time, a loud thunderous sound appeared again in the Qin army camp. Then the barbarian army's central formation was swept away by barrage. A cluster of barbarian soldiers was suddenly hit by a solid artillery shell, and several barbarian soldiers were immediately thrown out. A battle elephant next to the barbarian leader was hit on his thigh by a solid artillery shell, and his thigh was suddenly broken. The battle elephant hissed and fell down, and the leader's face turned pale.

After a round of artillery attacks, the barbarian army was in chaos. Nearly two thousand war elephants did not obey their master's orders and rammed their hooves. The barbarian soldiers also ran around like headless flies.

At this time, the gate of the Qin army opened wide, and five thousand Qin army light cavalry roared out, just like a rushing mountain torrent.

The Qin army's iron cavalry rushed into the middle of the barbarian army, running with their hooves. The heads flew up wherever their hands started, and the iron hooves ruthlessly stepped on the fleeing barbarian soldiers under their feet. The barbarian soldiers were even more frightened, rushing to flee and trampling on each other.

Half an hour later, the rain stopped and the sun came out. The battlefield also became quiet. The grass in front of the Qin army camp was densely covered with the corpses of barbarian soldiers, as well as hundreds of war elephants. After the war statistics, the barbarian army had more than 20,000 people died, nearly 10,000 were captured, more than 400 war elephants died, and hundreds of war elephants ran away. At this moment, the Southern Barbarian Alliance suffered heavy losses.

Two days later, the envoys of the Qin army entered several tribes with the second most powerful strength to the leader tribe under the leadership of the captives. The next day, these tribes announced their separation from the alliance and surrendered to the Qin Empire. The actions of these tribes immediately triggered a chain reaction in the tribe alliance. In the following days, except for the two hard-core allies of the leader tribe, the rest of the tribes announced their separation from the alliance and surrendered to the Qin Empire. At this moment, the desert alliance in the north launched a fierce attack on the territory of the leader tribe. After struggling for several days, the leader tribe had to give up its only little dignity, personally go to the Qin army camp to swear allegiance to the Qin army, and ask for help from the Qin army.

Gan Ning left the leader as hostages, personally led 15,000 soldiers of the Seventh Army, including 5,000 cavalry, to defeat the Desert Tribe coalition five days later on the periphery of the leader tribe a hundred miles away from the Qin army camp. Then, the battles were fought for three consecutive times, defeating the Desert Tribe coalition. The Desert Tribe coalition did not dare to fight with the Qin army anymore, and the main force retreated into the desert oasis and sent envoys to contact the Qin army. A few days later, the two sides reached an agreement that the Qin army would not invade the desert area (the Qin army had no such intention), and the Desert Tribe recognized the Qin Empire as its sect leader and became a vassal of the Qin Empire.

Five days later, Gan Ning led his army back to the camp, and there were also 10,000 laborers from the desert tribes. At this point, the obstacles here have been basically solved.

The Qin army began to build bases and forts with all efforts. The labor force was all locals and Assyrian workers.

Roman Palace Hall.

Julia Yangyang said to everyone: "This is the letter sent by General Lielunde just now! The Qin army is now building a naval base and a fort at the mouth of the Red Sea!"

Everyone couldn't help but whisper; Prime Minister Thomas frowned and said, "In this way, the water passage between the empire and the outside world will be strangled to death by them! This naval base must be pulled out!" Everyone agreed.

Julia sighed, "How come I don't know this! But can a strong attack achieve the goal? Although our navy has a slight advantage in its overall strength, the other party can completely compete with our army with the artillery! Is there any better way for you?"

Silence fell in the hall.

Julia frowned, "Let's talk about solving the Jerusalem problem first!"

"Your Majesty, should you urge General Batra? He has not made much progress in this period!" said a minister.

Julia shook her head, "Don't urge him! Now is the critical moment, let's not put pressure on him!" She turned her head and asked Prime Minister Thomas, "Prime Minister, has the food and grass raising for support to Batra been completed?" Thomas replied, "It has been raised! It is now on the way to Jerusalem!"

Julia murmured, "Now we will wait quietly! Wait for the news of General Batra's victory!" Julia glanced at the ministers and sang, "If nothing is wrong, you can go down!"

Thomas hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, expanding trade with the Ross people~~?"

Julia said: "There is no problem to expand business! You have to discuss the specific matters with all your power, but remember that although we need to support the Ross people, our own interests are the most important!"
