"Jie Li Khan, as long as you are willing to retreat, we can discuss anything.”
Li Yuan's heart was bleeding when he said those humiliating words.
In order to protect the people of the Great Tang from the wrath of the Turks, he could only endure the humiliation.
He secretly swore that one day, he would wash away the shame and make Jie Li pay the price of blood for today.
Laughing maniacally!
Jie Li let out a heaven-shaking laughter, extremely arrogant and proud.
Li Yuan's surrender gave him an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
It was not over yet!
The laughter came to an abrupt stop, and Jie Li pointed his horsewhip at Li Yuan,""If you want to talk, this Khan will give you a chance. However, this Khan wants to see your sincerity. This Khan has heard that you have Princess An Ding, so send her here for a marriage alliance to show your sincerity.”
As soon as he said this, the city walls were in an uproar, and Li Yuan's expression changed drastically.
Jie Li had forced Li Yuan to become a minister in front of the Tang soldiers, but he had even forced him to offer his daughter.
Humiliating Li Yuan to such an extent was not only a slap to the face, but also a merciless trampling on the dignity of the Great Tang!
"Your Majesty, Jie Li has gone too far. A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. This subject is willing to lead the army into battle and defend the dignity of the Great Tang with my life!”
The War God Li Jing was also deeply enraged, even though he knew that he couldn't do it, he still wanted to fight.
The Tang generals around him were furious and requested to fight.
Li Yuan clenched his fists and stared at the arrogant figure outside the city. His eyes were burning with anger.
"Father, a little impatience will ruin the big plan. You should put the big picture first…"
Li Jiancheng's voice was trembling as he tried to persuade Li Yuan. He was worried that Li Yuan would lose his mind in anger.
It had always been Li Jiancheng's style not to fight a battle he was not confident in.
Li Yuan felt like his heart was being stabbed by a knife. He was caught in a dilemma and could not make a choice.
Wuuu ~~
Right at this moment, a piercing screech came from the sky above.
Everyone's body trembled and they hurriedly looked up.
Li Yuan and the other emperors and ministers of the Great Tang gasped in shock.
A giant bird actually flew over a thousand feet in the sky!
The giant bird was as big as a ship, and its shadow covered the entire northern gate tower. As it flew, its huge body rubbed against the air, producing an ear-piercing sound.
"What…what kind of strange bird is this?"
Li Yuan opened his mouth in shock and subconsciously bent down, afraid that the giant bird would take him away.
"How can there be such a big bird in the world? That's impossible!"
Li Jiancheng's expression changed and his voice turned hoarse.
"Your Majesty, look! The word 'Mo' is carved on the bird's abdomen. This isn't a living bird. Could it be the Mohist's mechanical bird that has been lost for thousands of years?”
Li Jing pointed at the giant bird and shouted. He was experienced and knowledgeable, so he was the first to guess the origin of the giant bird.
A machine-operated bird?
Could it be that the Mo Clan, which had disappeared for more than a thousand years, had suddenly appeared to protect the Great Tang and save its people?
"Look, there's a person standing on that machine-operated bird!”
"It's a youth! Who is he?"
"He's actually flying in the sky on a giant bird? Could he be a god that has descended to help the Great Tang resist the Hu?”
The people of Chang 'an rushed out of the courtyard and pointed to the sky like the Tang soldiers on the city wall. Their surprised and shocked discussions rose and fell, echoing inside and outside Chang' an.
Li Yuan looked at the young man standing on the machine-operated bird with his hands behind his back. He was like a god. His bitter and angry eyes could not help but reignite with hope.
The machine-operated bird flew over Chang 'an under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Tang soldiers and civilians.
The Turks, who had been shouting wildly, were now in a state of chaos, all sorts of panicked screams rising from all directions.
The people of the grasslands used eagles as their totem. How could they not be shocked by the sudden appearance of this huge eagle-like bird?
"Where did this strange bird come from? There's actually a person standing on it?”
Jie Li Khagan's expression changed, his savage expression was replaced by shock.
He looked around at the shouting and trembling Turkic soldiers, and an ominous feeling rose up in his heart.
Everything had been under his control, but the appearance of the bird-riding Tang youth had easily broken the situation and disrupted his morale.
Jie Li was furious, he pointed his horsewhip at the sky,"Release the arrows! Shoot that kid who is trying to play tricks!”
The Turks snapped out of their panic, and tens of thousands of arrows were aimed at the giant bird in the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The dense number of sharp arrows soared into the sky like a net and attacked the huge machine-operated bird.
Along with the sound of rain hitting the window eaves, none of the tens of thousands of arrows could penetrate the machine-operated birds. They were all bounced off as if they had hit an iron plate.
The Turks were in an uproar again.
In the sky, Li Zhao, who was standing proudly with his saber on his back, had a disdainful smile on his face.
He raised his left hand and gently pressed it on his chest. Under his green robe, a dark blue light was faintly discernible.
It was the Heavenly Secrets Compass that the Mohists had created a thousand years ago with an extraterrestrial divine artifact and the wisdom of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. The Hundred Schools of Philosophy System operated inside, containing endless mysteries.
"Philosopher System, train the machine-operated bird. Choose a suitable angle and let me down.”
Li Zhao pressed his hand on the Heaven Secrets Compass and communicated with the heroic spirits of the philosophers inside with his mind.
"Yes, Giant."
The Heaven Secrets Compass flickered as the enormous machine-operated bird suddenly charged toward the Turks.
Li Zhao jumped down from the machine-operated bird and descended from the sky like a god of war.
As soon as they landed, the ground in a radius of five zhang cracked, and the shockwave sent over a hundred Turks and their horses flying.
Li Zhao's green robe fluttered in the wind.
The tens of thousands of Turks were frightened by his war-god-like aura and retreated, not daring to step forward.
