Roman Slave Owner

After the trebuchet was ready, a large number of stones flew high immediately, and then smashed heavily on the city wall of Palestine.

Although those Jewish troops had been psychologically prepared, they were still taken aback by the great power of the trebuchet.

The masonry on the city wall was smashed to pieces, but Jerusalem is a real fortified city with a wall 6.5 meters thick.

It is by no means an easy task to smash down the city wall, but it doesn't matter, Li Wei has enough time.

After a whole morning of bombardment, the walls started to come down, the Jewish soldiers on the walls were screaming, but nothing could be done about it.

The trebuchet continued to attack, making a gap of more than 20 meters.

"You can attack now."

Levi said to John.

A trace of resentment flashed in John's eyes. Although he hid it well, he was still discovered by Li Wei.

"I see."

John said.

After speaking, he left here, and it didn't take long for the Pharisees to attack the gap.

The two sides fought fiercely, and one Jew after another fell to the ground.

Some of the Jews tried to escape, but under the supervision of the Overseer, they finally had to return to the battlefield.

Half a day later, the corpses below the city wall were almost piled up into a mountain, but they still hadn't taken it down.

The two sides were almost jealous. The Jews on the city wall fought to the death to protect the holy city. This made Li Wei very dissatisfied. The fighting power of the Pharisees was too poor.

"Order the Thracians to attack."

Levi said.

After two years of fighting and training, the Thracians have become an elite division under him, and their combat effectiveness is still higher than that of the Galacians.

Bugles sounded and regimental flags waved.

After receiving the order, the Thracian troops immediately lined up in a neat line and followed a group of Jews to attack the city wall.

Seeing this, John breathed a sigh of relief, now they can sacrifice fewer people.

Those Thracians successfully attacked the city wall, erected their own shields, and fought a big battle with the Jews.

"Attack! Attack me!"

cried Aetius.

Compared with the Pharisees who had not received much training, these battle-hardened Thracians were much stronger.

As soon as they made contact, the Jews were immediately beaten back steadily.

Wielding their curved daggers, they skillfully harvested the lives of the Jewish soldiers and moved forward steadily.

Aristobulus sent out one Jewish army after another, but they were no match for them at all.

More and more Thracians entered Jerusalem, and they not only set foot on the walls, but also entered the city.

"It's over! It's over!"

Aristobulus said in horror that the general situation is over at this time, and he did not expect the Roman army to be so powerful.

At last he no longer hesitated, and led the army to withdraw to the upper city.

"Order Galasia to enter the city."

Levi said.

The bugle sounded, and the Galacians who had been waiting for a long time rushed to the city immediately.

After finding that there were no traps, the Roman legion entered the city.

By this time some Galacians and Thracians had begun to rob, and even some Pharisees joined in.

This made Li Wei very dissatisfied, and he didn't like it very much.

But it's the custom of the Romans, the Romans fought for money.

Many Romans voluntarily overdue their military service, not because of patriotism, but because they could grab more money.

If he stops them, even if he is the legion commander, he will be opposed by the whole army.

In the end, you can only sit back and watch this happen.

Escorted by several guards, Aristobulus ran towards the Temple Mount in horror. He was shocked and angry when he saw the city in blood and fire.

He knew that the second city wall would definitely not be able to hold it, and they could only retreat to the temple.

"Notice, destroy all the bridges connecting the upper city and the Acropolis, and retreat to the Acropolis."

Aristobulus said loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

said a guard.

Soon they abandoned the outer city, and then destroyed all bridges leading to the Acropolis, and a large number of Jews retreated to the Temple.

Aristobulus and some Jews kept praying in the temple.

"Great Lord, please save your people, the devil is attacking us."

"Please lower your anger and destroy these evil heretics."

"..."

Some Jews prayed very devoutly that it is not that the Jews have never been subjugated in history.

They were destroyed by the Assyrian Empire and the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Are they going to experience this terrible experience again today?

At this time, the Roman army got into trouble, because they discovered that there were a large number of tunnels in the city of Jerusalem.

Many Jews hid in the tunnels, including some Jewish soldiers.

The Thracians and Galacians rushed in, but were killed by Jews familiar with the terrain.

Li Wei quickly called John.

"What's going on with your tunnels? How come there are so many tunnels."

Levi asked.

"Jerusalem has always had a large number of tunnels, and they are connected to each other, mainly to avoid war."

John said.

Li Wei didn't expect that he would still be able to encounter tunnel warfare. It was a weird experience.

In fact, not only in ancient times, but even in modern times, there are still a large number of tunnels in Jerusalem.

"Go and send someone to tell those hiding in the tunnel that if they come out, I can spare their lives. If they don't come out, then they are dead. I swear in the name of the true God."

Levi said.

John knew that he was the prophet of the holy religion. If a prophet swears in the name of the gods he believes in, he will definitely obey it.

"Okay, I'll tell them."

John said.

Soon they organized some people to shout at the entrance of the tunnel, and some Jews obeyed his words and walked out of the tunnel.

Li Wei asked them to take them down. They could indeed survive, but according to Roman rules, they would be sold as slaves.

Levi was very dissatisfied with the discovery that there were still a large number of people hiding in the tunnels.

"John, let your people go to the tunnel and catch them out."

Levi said.

Hearing this, John had a bitter look on his face.

The terrain in the tunnel is complicated, and it is not easy to catch those Jews out.

"I can understand that you are not opponents of the Jewish army, but if you are not even opponents of these defeated soldiers and civilians, then don't blame me for being rude."

Levi said.

"I see."

John said helplessly.

Li Wei sneered and told you to curse me, this is the price you have to pay.

The Pharisees had to go into the tunnels to arrest the remaining Jews after receiving the order.

Li Wei looked at the temple in the distance, which was actually a rebuilt temple.

The first temple was built by King David's son Solomon on Mount Moriah. The temple is known as the residence of God in the earthly world.
