    Chapter 251 The Disadvantages of Knowing Foreign Languages

    Keelung City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. It is an extremely dangerous place. The more than 10,000 natives who attacked from the south had to pass through a canyon. However, in the middle of this canyon, Lu Qing had already built a  The pass, named Nanxia Pass, was usually guarded by a thousand soldiers. Firstly, it was to collect taxes from merchants entering the interior of Liuqiu, and secondly, it was to guard against natives.

    These natives were blocked by Nanxia Pass. Their productivity was low, even iron weapons were very rare, and their fighting methods were very primitive. Therefore, when facing such a tall city, they had no effective attack methods at all. At first, they only felt a sense of annoyance.  He rushed forward, but was shot and killed by a hail of arrows from the soldiers on the top of the city. Only then did they all retreat in fright.

    The leaders of the natives were not fools. When they saw that so many people had died, but they had not even touched the enemy's city gate, they immediately understood that with their strength, it was impossible to capture the Han people's city, but they also  Reluctant to give in, after all, it is not easy to come again, and so many clan members have died, so naturally they are even more unwilling to retreat.  Later, several leaders discussed it and finally decided to deplete the defenders under the city and at Nanxiaguan. They would not attack the city or retreat. They would just send people to yell and curse under the city.

    The soldiers guarding the city are all old men under Lu Qing. They have lived in Liuqiu for many years. Some of them were even born in Liuqiu. They usually have a lot of contact with the natives, so they can understand most of what the other party says.  In response to the curses of the natives, the soldiers on the city walls were naturally not to be outdone and responded in native dialects.

    However, a problem arises, that is, the other party speaks their native language. No matter how proficient the soldiers on the city are, they are inherently disadvantaged. In addition, the other party has a large number of people, and a group of people are tired of scolding.  , you can change a group and continue to scold. In this way, the soldiers on the city will naturally not be able to scold each other.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, this situation would have continued until Li Min arrived with a large force, then opened the city gate and overwhelmed the opponent's team in one fell swoop. However, an accident happened to interrupt the deadlock, and even more  Coincidentally, this accident has a great relationship with Li Zhen.

    It is said that Li Zhen felt very guilty after knowing that he had caused such a big trouble. Of course, as a prince, no one could do anything to him, but although Li Zhen was young, he was also a responsible person.  If he feels that he has caused trouble, he must find a way to bear it. Of course, he is not stupid enough to fight against the natives, and Yan Bei and others will never agree to his doing so.  But it didn't matter that he couldn't go to the battlefield. He could also do something else to express his apology.

    It was precisely because of this idea that Li Zhen persuaded his seventh brother Li Yun, and then used his private money to buy a large amount of wine and meat, and sent them to Nanxiaguan in person to reward the army with Li Yun.  Originally, Yanbei didn't want Li Zhen to interfere with the natives anymore, but when he saw Li Yun walking with him, he didn't stop him. After all, Li Yun was already sixteen years old, and he was timid and fearful, so he shouldn't cause anything.  Things come up.

    It's a pity that Yanbei miscalculated again this time. When Li Zhen and Li Yun rushed to Nanxiaguan, what they saw was the extremely arrogant curses of the natives below the city. Although the soldiers at the top of the city tried their best to retaliate, they were still overwhelmed by the scolding.  Don't worry, after all, they use Chinese to curse people and they don't understand, but when people use dialect to curse, they understand everything. This shows that learning another foreign language is not necessarily a good thing!

    Seeing this situation, Li Zhen's temper rose again. However, although he had a bad temper, he could also distinguish the priorities and knew not to go to war without permission. After all, there was Keelung City behind him. Not only were there tens of thousands of people and businessmen, but also  If important figures like Wu Meiniang and Cui Mengxue let these natives attack the city, the consequences will definitely be serious.

    Although he could not leave the city, Li Zhen was not one to retaliate even when scolded. After ordering people to fire a few bursts of arrows, he found that the effect was not great. After all, the natives were not stupid, and they were far away from the city. Looking at the city  If the head moves, it will immediately retreat, and it will not hurt many people at all.

    Seeing this situation, Li Zhen became even more angry. When she turned her head, she happened to see the rocket placed at the top of the city. She grabbed the torch and lit the fuse on fire.  Originally, firearms were very precious weapons in the army. No one would dare to use them without orders from above. Otherwise, how could the soldiers guarding the city not fight back when being scolded?

    Seeing Li Zhen taking action himself, the guard at Nanxiaguan wanted to stop him but didn't dare to stop him. He could only watch the rocket fly away and launch a firefight, then rushed into the large army of natives with a stream of flames.

    For this sudden attack, the natives were not prepared at all. In addition, they had no idea what was coming. Even after the rocket landed, it did not explode immediately due to fuse problems. This also attracted many natives.  One after another came forward to watch, and the result was tragicDrama.

    There was only a loud "boom~" sound, and countless residual limbs of the natives flew into the sky.  The soldiers on the top of the city naturally cheered loudly, while the natives below cried for their fathers and mothers.  In fact, due to the power of black powder, not many people were actually killed on the spot. At most, it was only a dozen or so people who were nearby. However, the scope involved was extremely large, and many locals who were nearby were injured or injured.  Whether they were slightly or seriously injured, these injured natives made pitiful cries, which made the uninjured natives around them even more frightened.

    These natives are still in primitive society, and each has its own primitive religion. Among primitive religions, they generally have one thing in common, which is the worship of natural phenomena, such as wind, rain, thunder, lightning, etc.  The sound and light effects caused by the rockets were very similar to the effects of thunder and lightning. Coupled with the scene of flying flesh and blood, these natives believed that everything in front of them was God being angry, so they used thunder and lightning to give them a warning.  What frightened them even more was that this kind of thunder and lightning actually came from the Han people. Is God also on the side of the Han people?

    After the rocket exploded, almost most of the natives had the above thoughts. Some were even so frightened that they fell to their knees, crawled on the ground and muttered to themselves, as if they were asking for forgiveness from the gods.  Seeing this situation, the standing natives immediately dropped their weapons and climbed down. Almost in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of natives, without exception, all knelt down towards the place where the explosion occurred.

    Seeing this situation, Li Zhen and Li Yun on the top of the city looked at each other, wondering what the situation of these natives was.  But it doesn't matter if they can't figure it out. Li Zhen, who reacted immediately, understood one thing, that is, there was an extremely rare opportunity in front of him. As long as they attack now, they can definitely kill the natives and defeat them.

    Thinking of this, Li Zhen immediately ordered the garrison of Nanxiaguan to leave the city.  To be sent by Lu Qing to guard such an important pass, the guard of Nanxia Pass is naturally not an idiot. He also knows that this is an eternal opportunity. Although he is a little embarrassed when he thinks of the order from above, Li Zhen beats his chest loudly.  He told the other party that he would bear all the responsibilities, and then he dispelled the guard's concerns. He rushed out of the city gate with a thousand soldiers under his command, and killed the natives who put down their weapons.  As a result, a thousand people chased more than 10,000 natives and ran for more than 20 miles, killing thousands and taking nearly a thousand prisoners. It was a rare victory!

    After listening to Li Zhen explain the cause and effect of the incident, Li Min also felt a little bit dumbfounded. Everything started because of Li Zhen, but it was Li Zhen who solved the siege of Keelung. Of course, this matter is far from over.  , Li Min is not a good-tempered person. Since those natives dare to offend him, they must be prepared to pay ten times the price!

    "Eighth brother, do you know where you went wrong?" Li Min pulled Li Zhen to the side of the dock and asked very seriously.

    "Sixth brother, II shouldn't have acted without permission and caused you so much trouble!" Li Zhen was already very worried, but now that she saw Li Min's serious look, she naturally felt even more guilty.

    "Wrong!" Li Min retorted coldly, then softened his tone and said again, "It doesn't matter if you cause some trouble. As your brother, I naturally have the responsibility to help you solve the trouble, so I don't blame you!  "

    As soon as Li Min said this, Li Zhen was moved to tears. Although there were many brothers, as the saying goes, there is no family affection in the royal family. The feelings between princes are generally extremely indifferent, but for his sixth brother, he  But he felt a deep brotherly affection, which made him feel extremely warm.

    Li Zhengang, who was moved, wanted to say something, but he only heard Li Min continue: "Badi, although you are very smart, you have always been quick-tempered and unwilling to use your brain when doing things. You do things on impulse without even thinking, such as  This time, you don¡¯t have to sneak attack on that group of natives at night. After all, with their strength, you can¡¯t fight head-on as a guard. So you can attack head-on during the day and then kill all the people in the tribe. In this way,  There will be no one to report the news, and there will be no more trouble this time!¡±

    After listening to Li Min's words, Li Zhen was stunned for a long time. Even if he beat him to death, he never thought that Sixth Brother, who had always had an excellent reputation, could have such a ruthless side.  However, Li Zhen's receptive ability is very strong, and she quickly reacted, nodding her head in agreement, with a sincere expression, but her eyes towards Li Min were a little strange, as if she was meeting this person for the first time.  Sixth Brother is average.

    Li Min also noticed Li Zhen's strange gaze, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Eighth brother, you have to remember that there is nothing wrong with being kind to your subjects, but for these foreign races, especially  If you offend the alien race, you must first use thunder to make them understand who has the biggest fist in this world!"

    When Li Min was very irresponsible and instilled the bloody law of the jungle into a minor, he was already conceiving a revenge plan against the natives in his mind.  But what he didn't expect was how much impact today's words would have on Li Zhen?  History of Tang DynastyThe most controversial prince in the world truly grew up from this moment on!  (To be continued.
