Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 298: Sabbath

   Solomon spent seven years building the temple, and then spent another 13 years building his own palace next to the temple. There is a small room in the temple called the Most Holy Place.

   It is said that the stone slabs agreed by Moses and God are stored in the most holy place. No one except the chief priests is allowed to enter the most holy place.

   But there are also people who broke into the holy place, such as Pompeo and a Syrian king, they broke into the holy place, and for this they were cursed forever by the Jews.

   Later, the entire Jerusalem was completely destroyed by the new Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, not only demolishing the city wall, but also destroying the temple.

   This temple is the second temple, built by the Jews ordered by Cyrus the Great.

   He not only allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem, but also allowed them to build a temple. For this reason, some Jewish prophets called him Messiah, meaning the Savior.

   Looking from the bottom of the mountain, the entire Temple Mount is white, only the top of the mountain is shining with a faint golden light. It is said that it is because the temple gate is inlaid with gold.

   "Let's go up and take a look."

   Li Wei said.

   So he took a group of guards to the Acropolis. The layout of Jerusalem was very irregular, like a maze.

   This gave many Jews a chance to hide. Along the way, he kept discovering that Jews were caught by the Roman army.

   Coming to the front of a destroyed bridge, Li Wei looked down.

   This is a wide valley where the Jews built a dam to provide drinking water for the Jews in Jerusalem.

   "Is there no other way?"

   Li Wei asked.

   "Yes, but those bridges were also destroyed."

   John said.

   "Then let people fill in here."

   Li Wei said.

   Looking at the long valley, John opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.

   Li Wei mobilized a large number of Jews and Galacians and asked them to collect all kinds of things and throw them into the valley.

  Some Jews tried to stop them. They lowered their arrows from high ground, but they were dispersed by Li Wei's ballista.

  The terrain of the valley was getting higher and higher, and he finally filled it up ten days later.

   At this time, the Jews who were hiding in the tunnel were also arrested. After overcoming various obstacles, they finally came under the acropolis.

   There is nothing to say, continue to attack the city.

   Acropolis is far stronger than the outer city, and the Jews are almost crazy.

   Behind them is the temple and their children. They must not let Rome invade.

   The walls were breached twice, but they were driven out by the Jews, which made Li Wei's temper very bad recently.

   This evening, John walked in cringingly.

   "General, we can't attack again tomorrow."

   "Reason?"

   Li Wei looked at him viciously. If he didn't give a reason to satisfy him, he would definitely let him know the consequences of entertaining him.

   "Tomorrow is the Sabbath. According to our canon, we must rest on the Sabbath."

   John said.

   "Sabbath?"

   Li Wei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

   It took seven days for God to create the world. The Sabbath does not refer to the seventh week, but to the Saturday, on which the Jews should stop working.

  Because the Jews are a theocratic country, they strictly abide by all the canons, of course, including the Sabbath.

   "Hahaha!"

   Li Wei suddenly laughed.

   Lucias looked puzzled, and asked very cooperatively: "I don't know why the general is laughing?"

   "Sabbath is good! I like the Sabbath the most, you won't have to siege the city tomorrow!"

   Li Wei said.

   Not only was John not happy, but he seemed to be dead. In fact, he guessed what Li Wei was thinking.

  On the Sabbath, not only civilians but also soldiers refused to work.

   How did Pompeo break into the temple?

   was attacked on the Sabbath!

   Many Jewish soldiers refused to work that day.

   In fact, the Jewish nation has been subjugated because of the Sabbath more than once in history.

   Thinking of this, Li Wei immediately made arrangements, and he wanted to attack the city with all his strength tomorrow.

   At this time, Aristobulus in the city has fallen into despair.

   "Are they really unwilling to defend the city tomorrow?"

   "Yes, many soldiers claimed that the Sabbath came to rest. He believed in devout believers, and they refused to resist the enemy on that day."

   Peter said bitterly.

   "Are they all idiots? The enemy's army is close at hand, but they want to rest? Do they think they died fast enough?"

   Aristobulus growled.

   Peter had a sullen face. The Jewish state is a theocratic country. The soldiers did this as their previous request, but they didn't expect to smash their own feet.

   "Tell them, no matter tomorrow, some people will be selected to defend the wall."

   Aristobulus said.

   "Leave it to me."

   Peter said.

   The next day, after breaking a gap in the Acropolis again, Li Wei ordered the Thracians to attack the wall.

   What surprised him was that although there were soldiers resisting on the city wall, they were totally incomparable on weekdays. The Thracians quickly invaded the acropolis.

   Li Wei immediately ordered the Roman army to attack with all strength. A large number of Roman troops entered the Acropolis, and the Acropolis was finally broken.

   There were shouts of killing everywhere, and facing the overwhelmingly dominant Roman army, the Jews had no counterattack.

   They not only attacked the Acropolis, but also the Temple.

   About half a day later, all the places including the temple were occupied by the Roman army.

   Li Wei led people into the temple, and he was extremely curious about the temple.

  The temple is roughly composed of three parts~www.novelmt.com~ The outermost part is a city wall 10 meters long and 35 meters wide. There are two gates made of copper pillars 10 meters high on the city wall.

   After entering the city wall, there is an open courtyard inside. Three sides of the courtyard are two-story small buildings. The small buildings are filled with various gold and silver treasures.

   The porch leads to a sacred hall. In the hall there are tables made of gold to worship the gods. On the wall are ten golden lamps. In addition, there are pools and copper pools.

   The innermost is a step, which leads directly to the holy place.

   Li Wei went all the way up the steps and came to the outside of the holy place.

   Outside the Zhisuo Suo are two statues of wisdom angels pasted with gold. It is about 5.2 meters high and made of olive wood.

   John felt uneasy, whether he wanted to stop Li Wei at all.

   This is the abode of God, how can a mortal like Li Wei step into it?

   But if you really stop, will the consequences be serious.

   He thought for a long time, and finally stood in front of Li Wei.

   "Honorable General Li Wei, the front is our most holy place. Please don't break in. It is a place that only the chief priest can enter. Even I have no right to enter."

   John's face was pleading.

   "Asshole, you dare to stop General Li Wei, don't you want to live anymore?"

   Lycias said angrily.

   Li Wei did not answer immediately, but thought for a while.
