pretending to be a grandson, and suddenly pretending to be a grandfather, that is the most hated.

Great Min, among the Arab Empires, one must be chosen! After difficult consideration, King David still chose Damin with the wisdom of the previous kings of Israel, after all, the religion of Damin is messed up enough, one more Judaism is nothing, and the kingdom of Israel can survive after Damin wins, as for the Arabs? Hum.

Therefore, in order to show loyalty to the Great Min, King David and many of his Jewish elders submitted a letter of state to the Arab Empire in very disrespectful terms, not only rejecting the tribute due after the winter wheat harvest that year, but also denouncing Islam as a cult, which angered Hussein.

On March 13, the fourth year of Kaiyuan, just when the warm subtropical high once again ignited the enthusiasm of the Middle East, 150,000 Arab cavalry also appeared under the city of Jerusalem as scheduled.

The lever-raised breeding trebuchet was like more than twenty huge arms, but this time it was not camel dung with low lethality in the battle with the right army of Damin, but a can of ignited oil, and the burning grease streaked through the air with black smoke, and then fell heavily on the walls of Jerusalem.

The viscous black fire oil suddenly burned at the head of the city, and the city was so black that the Jewish defenders, who were burning with flames, screamed and ran around like moths in the lamplight, and finally fell off the wall.

"Allah willing!"

Kneeling on the ground and praying aloud, the hordes of Muslim warriors drew their scimitars, stepped onto their camels, and rushed towards the walls with their faces as if they were the ones of the mythical vengeful devils.

The camels dragged the stairs up and down a few times to the base of the towering and strong walls of Jerusalem, crossed the moat directly, and set themselves on the ancient and strong stone walls of Jerusalem, where swarms of Arab warriors climbed towards the top of the city like ants.

Death is for the Jews, the lowest and lowest race, to refuse to pay the poll tax to God's people and to slander the cause of the great prophet!

The Jews are not a warlike race, Assyria, Persia, and Rome have all ruled the Jews, and although the kingdom was re-established, the Jews' armaments are still not good, wearing the torn leather armor eliminated by the Fujian army, and holding inferior swords, but there is one thing, after losing the Promised Land for more than 100 years, after several generations of displacement, the Jews' determination to defend their own holy land is rather death.

Suddenly, countless Jewish archers appeared on the city, and the imported cheap composite bows spat out tens of thousands of arrows in an instant, although they could not shoot far, but they were still lethal enough for the Arabs who had rushed to the door, and in the crackling sound, the Arab soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell into the moat like dumplings.

Lying on the head of the city, even the houses were demolished, and the Jews carried stones and woods of various shapes and threw them into the city at the sound of hey,

There are sharp bamboo barbs at the bottom of the river, only to see people falling, but not people coming out, but a circle of red water ripples, for this suffering city of blood and tears to fill a little bit of sadness.

After all, the Arabs rushed up the city walls, and the most brutal hand-to-hand combat began, and in the end, it was the fierce warriors from the desert, the Bedouin warriors with scimitars, who blew like a whirlwind, and under the blades of killing and slashing, the Jews who rushed over each time fell with a few screams of blood.

Unfortunately, even in the face of the naked death, it did not deter these Jews who were eager to protect their families, and when one fell, a few people rushed up with a howl.

"One-two-three, pull!"

More than ten meters of rope arrows were shot into the tower of the city on the tower of the Jews built of wood, shouting a trumpet, a team of Arab knights drove the camels, neighing and dragging as hard as possible, hundreds of cattle together exerted force, in the desperate roar of the Jews on the tower, the tower tilted and collapsed down the city wall, smashed on the ground and splashed dust.

After the silver mask, looking at this scene, the corners of Hussein's mouth finally outlined a little smile, but before his smile could be maintained, more than a dozen spears suddenly dripped blood out of the city wall, and the two Arab warriors were still wearing them and howling in despair.

That little smile disappeared in a moment.

Hussein overestimated the army of the Arab Empire a little too much, even during the period of great expansion, the invincible Islamic army still besieged Jerusalem for two years before taking it, and it was a little too difficult for the current emperor * team to take this fortified city in just a few days.

From March 13 to March 19, the Arabs attacked the city more than ten times, killed more than 2,000 desert warriors, Jerusalem still did not even show a little signs of wavering, on the evening of the 19th, tens of thousands of cavalry from the support of the Great Min appeared at the end of the Lebanon Mountains, only a few dozen miles away from the Arab army, and finally, Hussein had to gather his army, Carrying the cattle and rice grain looted from the villages and towns on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Israel, they retreated from the holy city that had once made the former caliphs proud.

The Arab army, which had come to teach the Jews a lesson, came to a gloomy end, and looking at their backs, the Jews in the city burst into earth-shattering cheers.

…………

The siege of Jerusalem seems to have exhausted the strength of the Islamic army, and for more than two months after the withdrawal of its troops from here, the Arabs did not raid the border of the Syrian province of Damn like they did last winter.

Even so, Li Jie still did not order another seed to be planted in the fertile land of the Syrian province, and left the land barren and overgrown with weeds.

In more than five months, the Arabs settled down, and the Romans in Constantinople made a new move again, and Constantine IV, who completely regained control of the government of Constantinople, sent a mixture of the Athenian fleet and the Royal Navy, nearly 40,000 naval sergeants, and more than 500 large and small Monrode five warships to attack the Great Min Naval Division, which had just landed on the island of Cyprus and built a naval base.

Although at this time, the Mediterranean Fleet only had more than 200 large and small ships, and there were only 10 main warships of the 70-meter Haijiao-class, around the way, the handrails under the command of Liu Renliang, the governor of the boat division, General Pinghai, and Sun Renshi, the general of the march of the Eastern Mediterranean Road, still pulled out the main fleet without fear and confronted the imposing Roman navy on the sea near the west coast of Cyprus.

However, I don't know if it was the defeat of the last mast battle, or the huge ships of the Great Min Naval Division that also came from the east evoked the memory of Constantine IV's fear, and after only a few small encounters with the Great Min Navy, the Roman Navy retreated to Rhodes again.

In June, the whole Middle East is getting hot again, the air over Damascus from the subtropical high seems to be hot, and this year, the lack of large areas of agricultural fields, the lack of shade from plants, seems to have become hotter.

In a section of the Silk Road, Damascus has always been a gathering place of skilled craftsmen, this year the entire Syrian province did not have a little agricultural income, Li Jiedang did not let this ingenious place idle, after the war has become rare skilled craftsmen were selected again, the Ministry of Industry of Damin specially issued these craftsmen the official titles of master craftsman, supervisor and other officials, and revived the handicraft workshop that was very prosperous in the east of Damascus.

But I have never received such a good treatment again, and I have become a noble official who I can't think of in the past, and I have a lot of money to take, and the Ministry of Industry has carefully selected a lot of young apprentices of all ethnic groups in Fujian, and there is a large group of young people who respectfully serve tea and fan to serve, these craftsmen are happy to put aside the past point of view, and they are also trying their best to teach their skills.

Damascus knives with magical patterns, exquisite Persian carpets, various gold and silverware, olive oil and pearl-inlaid handicrafts once again enriched the market, which can be regarded as a little heavy pressure on Li Jieqing's military spending.

It is important to mention here that the art of sculpture by the craftsmen of the Syrian province is absolutely one of the best in this era.

When a piece of "Flying Heaven" depicted on a wooden board here was shipped back to Tianzhu, it caused a sensation in the country of Buddhism, and thousands of monks began to travel west to learn art and Buddhism, so that Buddhism also bloomed a little in this ancient land.

In addition to the busyness of the people, the headquarters of the Damin government is also busy.

On this day, under the scorching heat of noon, dozens of ministers and heavy generals gathered in Li Jie's small imperial study, and the sweaty appearance made the whole room smell of sour sweat, so smoked that Yang Xinyi and Li'an, the concubines who came to serve Li Jie in turn, had to twist their little noses to fan Li Jie.

King Min is the CPU of Da Min, in this hot era, he can't be overheated!

However, the pungent taste was almost completely ignored by Li Jie, and he was also engrossed in betting on the sand table.

After more than a year of confrontation, the hiding place of the Arab army was finally locked by the high command!

Under the gaze of everyone holding their breath, the routes of the previous Arab attacks on Damin were drawn one by one on the sand table by the hot and pale-faced old Li Ji, and the last stroke was the battle of Jerusalem a few months ago, and all the lines plus black were transmitted to the direction indicated by the intelligence, and finally set at a point.

Lake Tiberias, the pearl of the Syrian desert!
