As the extremely Bing Han region spreads, its side effects also emerge.
Li Shimin and his men on the Jingyang County Seat, Jiali Khan on the banks of the Wei River, both discovered something unusual.
"Khan, look towards the rear camp!" one of Jiali Khan's advisors suddenly shouted in alarm.
Jiali Khan frowned. At this moment, he was full of confidence, waiting to figure out how to get benefits from the Tang emperor. This guy's shouting and yelling made him very unhappy.
However, when he saw the white Twister suddenly appear in the direction of his rear army formation, he was instantly stunned.
It was a white Twister, hundreds of feet tall, slowly moving toward him.
Countless Göktürks soldiers were swept into the air, shredded into pieces, and tossed into the air.
Immediately afterwards, a hail of dark red cesium fell from the sky, crashing into the ranks of Göktürks Göktürks soldiers and causing heavy casualties among them.
"Clap, crack..."
Several "hailstones" also fell in front of Jiali Khan.
Once Jiali Khan clearly saw what the "hail" looked like, he instantly felt a chill run through him.
Those were Freeze pieces of a corpse.
"What is this?" he asked in horror, looking at the still-spinning white Twister ahead.
"This is Heavenly Punishment from the God of the Plains, this must be..." one of his subordinates shouted.
Before he could finish speaking, Jiali Khan sensed something was wrong. He drew his sword and beheaded his subordinate.
"Disrupting morale, death!" Jiali Khan roared.
At that moment, the advisor's voice rang out again. "Khan, the Twister is getting smaller, smaller, it will disappear soon."
The strategist's voice was filled with surprise.
"Such storms are rare even on the plains, and within the territory of the Great Tang, the terrain is rugged, so the storms are bound to be short-lived," the strategist explained belatedly.
Seemingly confirming the strategist's words, the Ice Twister Rapid Speed shrank and then disappeared.
Jiali Khan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a deep pang of heartache. He knew that this inexplicable Bing Han storm would inevitably cause his army to suffer heavy losses.
Now, at this crucial moment for negotiations with the Tang army, this disaster could significantly reduce his bargaining power. If the losses are too great, it might even cause him to return empty-handed.
This is something he absolutely cannot accept.
The grasslands are already covered in ice and snow. If they find nothing this time, what awaits them is a catastrophe that will wipe out their entire tribe.
"Go and check on the extent of the damage," Jiali Khan said with a grim face.
Is this truly punishment from the God of the Plains?
However, what he didn't know was that the disaster that awaited him had only just begun.
On the other side, on the city wall of Jingyang County, Li Shimin and others also witnessed the whole scene.
In stark contrast to Jiali Khan's feelings, they were all incredibly excited and thrilled at this moment.
Everyone was slightly disappointed when they saw the white Twister disappear.
Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily, "This Heavenly Punishment will likely cause the Göktürks army to lose at least half its men."
"If this Heavenly Punishment continues for another incense stick's time, the Göktürks army will collapse without a fight," Du Ruhui added.
"The appearance of Heavenly Punishment is already a blessing from Heaven; we shouldn't ask for too much," Wei Zheng said with a sigh of relief.
Li Shimin nodded, although the sudden Twister did not completely wipe out the Göktürks army.
However, it also inflicted heavy losses on the Göktürks army, which greatly weakened Jiali Khan's trump card.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling frowned and said, "But this would put His Majesty in even greater danger. The Jiali Khan's trump card would shift from attacking Chang'an to His Majesty himself."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.
Yes, the Jiali Khan suffered heavy losses, and they may no longer have the power to threaten Chang'an City.
Therefore, they are likely to become the new targets of Jiali Khan.
It would be a disgrace if Li Shimin and his ministers were captured.
Jingyang County was just a small county town with dilapidated city walls, which could not withstand the onslaught of the Göktürks army at all.
"Then let's fight to the death!" Cheng Yaojin said, brandishing his double-bladed axes with boundless fighting spirit.
To be honest, Ling Yi never expected that he would cause such terrible consequences.
The appearance of that Ice Storm felt almost unreal to him.
But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem so strange.
The occurrence of large-scale temperature differences will inevitably trigger a chain reaction.
The interaction of warm and cold air currents can generate Ice Storm, which seems understandable.
Looking at the large empty space plowed out by the Ice Storm around him, Ling Yi felt it was time for him to unleash his power again, and then he left.
" Li Shimin should thank me," Ling Yi murmured, gazing at the faint Shadow of the city wall.
At this moment, Ling Yi no longer allowed his Personal Space to absorb the surrounding heat energy.
If it continues to devour, it could cause even greater damage, and then it might get out of control, even affecting Li Shimin and others.
Ling Yi continued walking towards Jingyang County, passing through a frozen landscape.
This area is probably more than ten miles.
The extraordinary nature of the cheat system far exceeded Ling Yi's expectations.
Or rather, probably no one would have imagined that Ling Yi would use his Personal Space in so many creative ways.
Jiali Khan and Li Shimin probably never imagined that the Göktürks army, frozen for ten miles, had been reduced from 300,000 to less than 50,000 remaining around Jiali Khan.
Ling Yi's current concern is whether releasing the heat energy instantly will cause the same widespread destruction.
Therefore, he needs to be tested.
"Let's release one-tenth of it first!"
Ling Yi pointed forward with one hand, and a burst of scorching energy instantly condensed five meters in front of him before being released.
However, what made Ling Yi frown was that once this " Thermal Energy Bullet " exceeded a range of five meters, it became completely uncontrollable.
It erupted directly on the spot.
The temperature within a kilometer radius suddenly rose, and the corpses on the ground melted instantly, burning to ashes along with the surrounding flowering trees.
Because Ling Yi had set up the passive "air conditioning" skill, he himself was not affected.
But this was clearly not the outcome Ling Yi wanted.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yi suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
"Release one percent!"
This time, Ling Yi first accelerated this portion of energy within his Personal Space before releasing it.
Sure enough, as soon as the " Thermal Energy Bullet " appeared, it instantly followed its natural tendency and shot out.
The speed was extremely fast; Ling Yi only saw a "red line" flash out, crossing a thousand meters in the blink of an eye, then piercing through a series of "ice sculptures" a thousand meters away, and finally exploding within the ice sculptures.
After a slight "humming" sound, the area within tens of meters of the explosion's epicenter was reduced to charcoal.
Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction; this was the effect he wanted.
A good skill is one that can hit exactly where you point it.
This also gave Ling Yi a deeper understanding of the Personal Space.
Given time, we will definitely develop more features.
Ling Yi looked around and arrived at a low hill.
Looking at the last Göktürks army formation ahead, Ling Yi slowly raised his hand.
A terrifying scene unfolded before Li Shimin and his entourage.
Suddenly, a crimson beam of light, about half a meter thick, appeared from the direction of the distant low mountains and struck the Göktürks army's camp in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the entire world seemed to burst into flames. Terrifyingly high temperatures burned the earth, the Göktürks army, and even the air itself.
More than 50,000 Göktürks troops were vaporized in the blink of an eye, leaving only the crimson ground and the orange-red sky.
Few of the Göktürks army survived.
"To burn the heavens and boil the earth!" Fang Xuanling murmured, his body trembling.
"This is not Heavenly Punishment, but man-made." Wei Zheng stared in the direction of the low hill, his expression filled with fear.
"Is it a deity or... a demon?" Li Shimin's face also turned pale.
Faced with such a terrifying and unknown force, their first feeling was not the joy of the annihilation of the Göktürks army, but boundless fear.
With such power, one person could easily destroy a city, or even a country.
No one could withstand such power.
Instead, Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily and said, "Heaven blesses our Great Tang! It must be that the invasion of the Göktürks Great Tang has displeased the gods, which is why they have taken action to destroy them. With such divine protection, who would dare to invade again?"
Cheng Yaojin's words brought a glimmer of hope back to everyone.
Du Ruhui said, "Your Majesty, General Cheng is right. We should not worry unnecessarily. Why would such a powerful entity appear at this time? It must be because they see our Great Tang in danger that they have taken action."
"Otherwise, why have I never heard of such a person before?"
"Your Majesty, doesn't that look like Jiali Khan?" Wei Zheng said, pointing to the city below.
Sure enough, in the distance, several surviving Göktürks soldiers were riding their horses wildly toward Jingyang County.
Leading the way was none other than Jiali Khan, riding a white horse.
"Has Jieli gone mad? Still thinking of attacking the city at this time?" Cheng Yaojin asked innocently.
"Haha, Minister Cheng, this Jiali Khan has indeed gone mad, but perhaps he's been scared out of his wits," Li Shimin said with a shake of his head and a laugh.
Having said that, he waved his hand. "Let's go, follow me out of the city, and see this stray dog."
At this moment, Li Shimin also recovered from the shock and fear he had felt earlier.
Cheng Yaojin was right. Regardless of the circumstances, this man helped the Great Tang destroy the Göktürks, which at least showed goodwill towards the Great Tang.
Those beings, whether gods or demons, are not to be trifled with. In that case, it's better to ignore them for the time being.
Right now, the most important thing is to figure out how to deal with this Jiali Khan.
To kill or to spare...
Although Li Shimin hated this guy to the core, he also knew that this Jiali Khan might be more important alive than dead, and it all depended on how things were handled.
This unexpected event dealt a fatal blow to the Göktürks, but also gave the Great Tang a perfect chance to catch its breath.
Keep in mind that only three months had passed since the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
The Great Tang had just entered the reign of Li Shimin), and many problems awaited him, an emperor who had "illegitimately ascended the throne," to solve.
This unexpected victory, if managed well, could even completely turn the current situation around.
"They say my ascension to the throne was illegitimate, yet now I'm blessed by the gods, who helped me destroy the Göktürks. I'd like to see what those people have to say now."
