Thank you Xiao Chenyu for the two monthly passes!

Gan Ning nodded and said, "That's not bad!" Let's do it!. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But how do we get in touch with these people? The captives were telling nonsense that even the Assyrian guides couldn't understand! It's so depressing! ”

Zhou Tai thought for a moment, but couldn't think of any good way, so he simply put the matter down for the time being, "Forget it!" Let's talk about that later! Let's talk about the construction of a naval base first! Xingba, what do you think? ”

Gan Ning said: "I have already stepped on it before, only this place is the most suitable for building a base, and this place is relatively the most conducive to defense!" Zhou Tai nodded, "That's good!" Let's start building the water village first! ”

Gan Ning asked, "When will the migrant workers arrive?" ”

"Their boat is much slower than ours! Estimated to arrive in five days! ”

Gan Ning said: "Then let our people build a water village before that!" 30,000 infantry troops and 20,000 navies take turns to build against surprise attacks by local tribes! ”

Zhou Tai nodded.

Early the next morning, 15,000 Wei troops began to cut down trees and build a camp.

For the next three days, nothing happened, it was very peaceful, and the local barbarians seemed to have been scared.

On the fourth day, it rained heavily and the whole beach became muddy.

"! It's raining heavily! Looking at this posture, it seems that it will continue for several days! Gan Ning said with a look of annoyance.

Zhou Tai frowned and said, "We can't interfere in God's affairs!" ”

A scout officer rushed over and hurriedly reported: "Two generals, a large number of enemy troops have been found in the northwest!" About fifty or sixty thousand people! ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and Zhou Tai smiled: "I didn't expect them to dare to come!" ”

Gan Ning clenched his fists and said excitedly: "It's good to come!" Uncle is worried that he has nothing to do! ”

The scout officer said again: "Qiqi two generals, the other party has a large number of war elephants!" ”

Zhou Tai frowned, "Not good! It was raining heavily today, and there was a strong wind, so we had no way to use fire ballista arrows, and the sea was so windy and high that it was difficult for the battleships to shoot! ”

Gan Ning frowned, "In this case, it will be troublesome!" It seems that we can only rely on the fence to defend it! ”

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai climbed to the watchtower near the gate surrounded by a group of soldiers, and saw countless figures surging over, like a tide, among which thousands of elephants howled from time to time, even in this torrential rain, they could be heard clearly and shockingly.

Gan Ning immediately ordered the crossbowmen, pikemen, and tower shield men to line up and prepare for battle.

Soon after, the barbarians had reached a short distance outside the camp and formed a sparse formation.

Gan Ning sneered, "If it weren't for those war elephants, the uncle's three thousand cavalry would be able to defeat them with a single charge!" ”

The barbarians shouted together, like a group of restless beasts, mixed with the dull sound of leather drums, which were not as passionate as the war drums of the Wei army, and made people feel very irritated.

A moment later, hundreds of elephants, instigated by their masters, rushed towards the Wei camp, howling as if they were crazy.

At the same time, five or six thousand barbarian troops followed the back of the elephant's ass and also rushed towards the Wei army camp, waving the rudimentary weapons in their hands, and screaming, the expression was not much different from the elephant in front of them.

When the barbarian army rushed to a hundred steps away from the Wei army's camp, the Wei army's strong crossbowmen shot together, and the rain of arrows passed through the rain curtain and submerged in the middle of the barbarian army.

The crossbowman fires three rounds in a row. A forward of hundreds of elephants is within easy reach.

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai couldn't help frowning.

Hundreds of elephants roared and crashed straight into the horse-repelling stakes outside the fence, and when they landed, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the elephants fell down one after another, and at the same time, the horse-rejecting stakes were also crushed by the elephant's body and trampled flat.

The horse-repellent stake, which can completely block the charge of the war horse, is like mud in front of the elephant.

A torrent of hundreds of elephants crashed into the fence, knocking out a big gap in the log fence in one fell swoop.

Hundreds of elephants entered through the gaps.

The soldiers of the Wei army couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this.

Seeing that the elephant was about to crash into the defensive line of the Wei army's spearmen.

The scene at this time made people sweat for the Wei army front.

With a bang, one of the elephants rushing to the front suddenly trampled the ground and fell in.

The herd of elephants that followed couldn't stop, and they pushed forward and planted one after another. At this time, the strong crossbowmen of the Wei army fired arrows again, and more than a dozen elephants near the gap fell under the rain of arrows, blocking the gap.

Immediately afterwards, the pikemen went out to besiege the lone war elephants who had luckily entered the Wei army camp.

The war elephant was stabbed by a spear, and the pain became even more frenzied, and the long nose flicked violently, and several pikemen were thrown away. More than 20 pikemen stabbed spears from all sides at the same time, and at the same time, Wei soldiers shot down the war elephant's royal hand with their spears. After tossing and turning for a few moments, the elephant was finally overturned, and several pikemen stepped forward and stabbed the elephant in the throat with their spears. The war elephant finally breathed.

The surrounding Wei soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

By this time, the barbarians had already retreated.

Just when the Wei soldiers thought that the other party was going to attack from another place, the barbarian army retreated.

Zhou Tai and Gan Ning glanced at each other in surprise.

Gan Ning couldn't help asking, "What the hell are they doing?" ”

Zhou Tai shook his head, "I don't know!" ”

In fact, the reason was very simple, the barbarians thought that there were traps like the one on the inside of the fence of the Wei army's barracks, and they felt that the war elephants could not function as expected, so they decided to retreat.

In fact, the Wei army only dug traps near Yuanmen, and there were no traps in other places at all, if the barbarian war elephants broke through from other places, although the Wei army's combat strength was far stronger than these barbarian armies that had no civilization, but it was difficult to resist the impact of giant beasts like elephants.

Zhou Tai and Gan Ning returned to the big tent after confirming that the other party had indeed retreated.

The two of them untied their rain-soaked robes and threw them on the desk. Gan Ning said: "We must find a way to contain their war elephants!" Otherwise our army will be very disadvantaged! ”

Zhou Tai pondered: "Crossbow arrows are the most effective!" But the battleship could not shoot at all in such a big wave weather! And the army catapult cannot be used in rainy days! ”

Gan Ning said: "To deal with this kind of enemy, the battleship is unreliable, and we must rely on the army catapult!" Youping, is there a way for our catapults to shoot even in the rain? ”

Zhou Tai smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's difficult!" Fire oil can't get wet! As soon as you dip it in water, it's over! Besides, if there was a way, wouldn't those technicians of the Martial Arts Research Institute have done it a long time ago? ”

Gan Ning waved his hand, "Don't be too superstitious about them!" They also have unexpected places! ”

Zhou Tai smiled: "That's right! But can you think of a way? ”

Gan Ning thought bitterly. At this moment, a 'gentleman' came in with an umbrella and muttered, "This rain is really heavy!" Umbrellas can't stop it! ”

Gan Ning suddenly had an idea, and quickly walked up and snatched the umbrella in his hand.

'Sir' was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted: "My subordinates meet the general!" ”

Gan Ning turned the umbrella over and over again, and said with a smile: "I have a way!" Youping, we can also give the catapult an umbrella! ”

Zhou Tai came to his senses and gave a thumbs up to Gan Ning, "Xingba!" You can do it! ”

Gan Ning laughed.

Zhou Taixing said angrily: "I'll let people make umbrellas for catapults!" So saying, he hurried out of the tent.

Only then did Gan Ning notice the 'gentleman' who came in just now and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

'Sir' clasped his fists and said, "General, we can basically communicate with those barbarian captives!" ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

'Sir' replied: "There is not only one tribe of the barbarians, there are as many as seventeen tribes, and they form a country like a tribal alliance, among which the barbarians living in the northwest are the most powerful, and they are the heads of the tribal alliance!" In addition, there is another tribal alliance in this area, which is not like the barbarians we have encountered, but lives in the oasis of the desert to the north, with a large number of camel cavalry, and the two tribal alliances have been enemies for hundreds of years, and have been at odds with each other. It's like a small closed world! ”

Gan Ning nodded and asked, "Is it possible to get in touch with these tribes?" ”

"Yes! A few captives are willing to be our guides! ”

Gan Ning said: "This is put in advance!" Wait until you repel the barbarian attack! Be ye ready, for the ambassador will be chosen among you! ”

"Yes! General, if nothing else, he will retire from his position! ”

"Well, you go down!" 'Sir' bowed to Gan Ning and withdrew from the big tent.

Before the evening of the same day, Zhou Tai urged his subordinates to make hundreds of simple canopies.

The next day, the rain was a little lighter than yesterday, but the sky and the earth were still hazy.

Tens of thousands of barbarians and more than 2,000 war elephants once again appeared in front of the Wei camp, this time carrying several baskets of dirt on their backs, and it seemed that they planned to bury them with dirt when they encountered a trap again.

Gan Ning stood on the watchtower and said with a smile: "I have a good show to watch today!" ”

Zhou Tai on the side said: "Xingba, I'll go down and prepare!" Gan Ning hurriedly said: "Youping, you will be in charge, I'll go!" Without waiting for Zhou Tai to respond, he rushed down from the watchtower. Zhou Tai couldn't help but smile.

The unique sound of the barbarian army's leather drums sounded loudly, and more than 2,000 war elephants let out a roar together, and the sound shook the sky, and the momentum was amazing.

Immediately after that, with the roar of a barbarian leader, more than 300 war elephants rushed out together and rushed fiercely towards the Wei army camp.

When the more than 300 war elephants rushed halfway violently, there was a sudden thunderous noise in the Wei army's camp, and at the same time, the fire flashed.

All the barbarian soldiers couldn't help but be startled, and the fierce war elephants also looked a little panicked.

There was a sound of the air being torn apart in the sky, followed by a war elephant being slammed to the ground with great force, and there was a loud sound of heavy objects hitting ** or the ground. (To be continued.) )
