Why did Joshua lose the only time?
The whole of Israel stood before Joshua, and according to the tribes, the family stood in turn, and the elders of all races stood in front, and the children were quietly holding their mothers. Two million people were silent and looked at Joshua nervously.
Yesterday, something went wrong: In the morning, three thousand soldiers were eager to leave Jericho and attack the mountain city of Ai in the west. As a result, Aicheng did not like Jericho to close the city gate, but instead opened the city to fight, condescending, unstoppable, killing many Israel. Soldiers, and all the way to the river valley under the mountain. The defeated squadron fled back, and the entire camp suddenly fell into a panic. This was the first time that Israel had lost after entering the four wars of Canaan. If the small Aicheng is so difficult to attack, what about the many cities in the hinterland of Canaan that are harder to overcome than Ai?
Yesterday afternoon, the entire camp was full of the weeping of the women who lost their husbands, and the same crying as the children. Joshua and the elders came to the tabernacle, fell on the ground, raised their heads on the head, and asked God for help. In the evening, Joshua returned to the camp and no longer looked at her, but she was well-informed and told everyone:
"I pleaded to God at the tabernacle. God told me that today's failure is not strong in the enemy. It is because some of you have rebelled against God and stole the gold and silver treasures in Jericho. Before breaking Jericho, I clearly told You must dedicate the treasures of gold and silver to God. But some of you have stolen the things of the Angel of God because of your greed. We have failed today because you are deceiving God. You have to cleanse yourself tonight, we will line up in the morning, you Give up the hidden things, lest God's wrath come to us."
Early in the morning, all Israel was lined up in front of Joshua. The sun in the early summer has not yet risen, and the sound of the flowing water of the Jordan River has spread to the middle of the ranks. Like the stones on the shore, people are motionless and nervously waiting for Joshua to speak. Between Joshua and the ranks, there is a pile of gold and silver jewels in front of each family in each tribe. This was the last night when people listened to Joshua’s warning and gave the stolen trophy to the elders as evidence of repentance. But everyone is trembled because they don't know how God will punish those who stole things.
Joshua stepped in front of the team, went to a pile of jewels and looked at it before going to the next pile. After a long silence, he finally said: "Israel, you know that a little leaven can initiate a whole noodles. God will not be guilty of sin. Is this all your hiding things? Are there any people in your possession? After that, Joshua paused and glanced at the elders of each tribe.
Two million people, silent, only the sound of the Jordan River.
Joshua’s loud voice rang again: “God has told me that there is still one among you who has not surrendered the gold and silver he stole. Since he does not confess to God, we only have to sign to find him. Which priest is signed? The tribes, the elders of that tribe must be listed. And so on. The priests, let's get started."
In the plaques of the priests, the tribe of Judah was checked out. The clan of Judah came out of the queue, and the Sierra tribe was checked out. The families of the Sierra family went out of the queue, and the Sadie family was checked out. The parents of the Satie family came out of the queue, and Achan was elected. Achan was therefore a tribe of Judah, the great-grandson of Sheila, the grandson of Sadi, the son of Carmi.
Everyone was quiet like the lake after the rain, and they all fixed their eyes on Akan. Joshua approached him and said, "My son, I urge you to give glory to the Lord God of Israel, confess your sins before him, tell me what you have done, and do not hide from me."
Akan hangs his head and is as embarrassed as the child who was caught by the wrong thing. After a moment of silence, he looked up and said to Joshua, "I did offend the Lord God of Israel. I am attacking Jericho. Later, I saw a beautiful Babylonian robe, fifty-two silver and a gold block that weighed twelve. I loved these treasures and looked at no one around them, and did not turn them over with other spoils, but Secretly hiding. Now, these things are buried in the underground of my tent, and the silver is under the robes."
Joshua sent a sergeant to Achan’s tent. After a while, everything was taken and placed in front of everyone. As Achan said, there was a Babylonian robe, fifty-two silver and a gold ingot. The soil, gold and silver have lost their luster, but they are like stones carved out of the soil.
Joshua fixed his eyes on Akan: "My son, why didn't you repent last night? Why didn't you pay these things this morning? Why do you think you can deceive God? Why should you sin the Israelites' defeated yesterday? Go to your head! The punishment of God today is coming to you!"
Achan did not say anything. He knew that any resolution was late. In fact, since God exposed him through Joshua and the priests, what else can he distinguish? The Israelites brought everything about Achan and his family to the nearby Ache Valley, where they were stoned to death and burned everything he had, including the gold and silver clothes. Before the people left, they were covered with stones on his body and became stone piles.
Achan became the first of the Israelites who entered Canaan to die because of his sin. He is also the last of this generation. The generations of Israeli warriors have been invincible since then and have opened up most of the territory of Israel.
You can do the same after they fail.
The night is thick, the dark clouds cover the new moon, and the rugged mountain road, a 30,000-strong force, like a giant python, quietly passes through Jericho to the valley of Ai. Joshua sent the unit and asked them to ambush the west side of Ai, two days in advance, until Joshua let them act.
The death of Achan made everyone suddenly understand that the battles that entered Canaan did not rely entirely on the wisdom and bravery of the Israelites to win. More importantly, God protects them behind and leads them in front. If they offend God, they are only the flocks to be slaughtered in Canaan. The death of Achan, except for the great sin of the Israelites stealing the things of God, Joshua also got the tactics of attacking Aicheng from God.
It was dawning, and Joshua personally led another force to set off for Aicheng and embarked on the path of failure. When the army came to the highlands north of Ai, the night was already coming, and the whole army was stationed and waiting for dawn. An east-west dry valley separates the Israeli army from Ai.
The Aicheng garrison had already seen the Israelites across the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city boiled up and geared up. Last time they played thousands of Israelis in the water, they have been chasing them to dozens of miles away, and they did not expect them to die again so soon. Above the city, the torch is like a forest, and the surroundings are as bright as white. They pretend to be good jerseys, staying alive, waiting for dawn to kill the city.
Aicheng men, all robbers, rely on the looting of the Yamashita caravan to make a living, so they are all heart-wrenching, bloodthirsty, able to fight for good, to be ten. They built the city on the top of the mountain, and they plucked the mountains over the mountains and practiced the physical strength of the mountains and leopards. They also showed confidence and courage. Foreign enemies will invade, and if the city is closed, it will only lead them to shackle and sit still. Therefore, their consistent tactics are to go out of the city bloody battles, condescending, slamming, and every time they kill the enemy and flee.
The day finally dawned, and Joshua led an Israeli army to leave the camp and went to a flat place to challenge Ai. The soldiers of Aicheng had already been unable to hold back, and they opened the gates of the city. They all screamed and rushed out of the city. They set out in the nest, determined to smash all these Israelites this time, to quit their troubles, to avenge the Jerichoes, and to take their possessions. Between the two, they have already rushed into the Israeli array, as fierce as the evil beasts, and rushed to the left and right.
Although Israel has many people, it can't resist the flood-like offensive of Aicheng people. They follow the plan beforehand and they retreat. Once the former army can't resist it, the army will immediately support it. Although it is not retreating, it is stable. Lived in the foot, not being rushed by Aicheng. Unconsciously, the Israelis have retreated a few miles away. Joshua saw the soldiers of both sides full of bloody battles, no wandering, knowing that the time to wait in advance is ripe. He climbed a high place, raised his spear, and waved again and again, sending a signal to the 30,000 Israeli ambushes on the west side of Ai.
The 30,000-volt army, although ambushing two days and nights, was as alert as the fox watching, and the sentinel had already seen the red dragonfly on the spear in Joshua's hand as a beating flame. According to the prior agreement, they did not ring, such as lion hunting, quickly rushed into Aicheng. The gates of Aicheng City opened, and the men in the city had all gone out of the city, fighting the Israelites in Joshua, and there were only old, weak and sick in the city.
The 30,000 Israelites, like the soldiers, descended from the sky, rushed into Ai, and lit fire, and they set fire on all sides. The people in the city were scattered and scattered, but they fled to the knife of the Israelites. No one escaped. Between the shackles, the city of Aicheng, which is a solid soup, is in full swing, with smoke and flames, such as the torch burning on the top of the mountain.
The Israelites who fought outside the city first saw the fire, knowing that the Fujun had succeeded in winning the city, and they could not help but fight more and more. During the fierce battle, Aicheng people suddenly turned back and saw that the rear had already caught fire. They could not help but scream, and all the Aicheng people looked back and saw the fire, and they were shocked. They turned around and gave up fighting and ran to the city.
The 30,000-volt ambulance that had not been damaged by a soldier had already set a good position outside the city to face the panicked Aicheng people. The painful faces of the Aicheng people were distorted by the loss of their loved ones. The angry eyes of the people lost their homes. They were like the trapped beasts. They wanted to rush into the city to extinguish the fire, but they fell under the knife of the Israelites. Someone desperately fled to the bottom of the mountain, but was surrounded by the Joshua forces back.
The setting sun falls, the blood is dusk, and the fire of Aicheng is still burning. Outside the city is the body of the Aicheng people who are smashed. The number of Israelis counted, and Aicheng had a total of 12,000 people, all of whom were desecrated. Ai Cheng, who used to kill people, eventually died under the knife. Aicheng was burned down and became a ruin. It was no longer inhabited and desolate. The site was excavated by archaeologists and became a witness to history.
Being cheated, making a forgiveness, is it worth it?
After the Battle of Ai, Israel returned to the base of the Gilgal camp on the Jordan River. Jericho and Ai, who must enter the hinterland of Canaan, were removed. The following wars will soon enter the plains for large-scale operations. Joshua trained the army in the military camp of Gilgal, practiced the formation, prepared for the war, sent detectives, and entered the hinterland to spy on intelligence.
One morning, the sun has not yet risen, and the Gilgal military camp is still silent. Only the vigilant sentinels patrol the camp. The sound of the waters of the Jordan River came faintly, and the birds in the trees began to hum. Suddenly a group of birds flew from the treetops and hovered in the air. The sentinel looked at the sound and saw several figures shaking between the trees.
The sentinels exchanged their eyes. The two men sneaked back to the camp to report, and the rest of the people quietly dispersed into an attacking formation. They hid in the dark and saw the middle-aged men who walked out of the trees in five or six winds. They were tall and strong. Master, holding camels and donkeys, there is no one else. When the Israeli sentinel saw the army that was not a sneak attack, he was relieved to come out from the hidden place and greeted him and asked: "Hey, who are you, where are you coming from, where are you going?"
The stranger was shocked by the sudden appearance of the sentinel, but immediately calmed down and said: "We are a passenger who traveled from a distant place, came here to look for Israelis. We have something to talk with the leader of Israel. ""
When the sun was throwing the first sun into the camp in Israel, Joshua had already got out of bed and walked out of the tent. The sentinel who had come earlier had already told him about the situation outside the camp. When the strangers were brought into the camp, Joshua had called the elders together. They greeted them together and saw the lips cracked, ragged, unkempt, and the shoes on the feet were broken and the toes were exposed. The camels and scorpions behind him were also weak, and the sacks on their backs were filled with half-pack of moldy cakes, and the water bags were wrinkled as if they were cracking. Joshua asked: "Where did you come from, why did you find Israel? I am the leader of Israel, please."
Among the few people, an elderly person took a few steps forward and bowed to Joshua and said, "Your servant is coming from far away. We have heard how your God has led you out personally. Egypt, defeated the two kings of Mount Amorite in Jordan. We listened to these miracles and feared your gods. We specially came to look for you to make a covenant with you, so that when you pass us, we will Good to go out to meet you, and ask you not to meet with us. Because we fear your God, I am willing to be your servant."
Joshua looked at a few people and asked: "How can I believe that what you said is true, not a spy sent from Canaan?"
Among the others, another person replied: "Look at the way we walk, we know that what we say is true. It is only a few days before we go to the hinterland of Canaan. When we leave home, we wear a brand new one. Clothes, shoes on the feet are new shoes, bread and water bags are also new. But along the way, our clothes are sunburned by the sun, the shoes are gone, the cakes are also mildewed. We work hard all the way, really want to be with you Establish a peace agreement."
Joshua listened, and then looked at the wolf how many people in front of him, no longer doubt, so led the elders to make a covenant with them. After the celebration, several people took a short break and insisted on going back as soon as possible so that the waiting villagers could rest assured. Joshua had to give them new clothes, prepare food, and say goodbye to them.
Three days passed. At dusk, a horse rushed into the Israeli camp. The Israeli spies immediately jumped into the fast horse and ran to Joshua. They panicked and reported: "The adults, those who made a covenant with us three days ago are not From afar, but from the city of Gibeon in the hinterland of Canaan, only three days away from us. The people who came to the covenant have already returned to their cities. They have come to master our falsehood, and I am afraid that they will set a plan to murder after returning. we."
Joshua listened to the shock. After the Israelites knew the truth, they were filled with anger. Joshua knew that there were many night dreams, and he had to act immediately. He then mobilized the soldiers. He set off on the next morning, and the spies took the lead. After Jericho, they went to Aicheng and marched south. On the third day, they arrived in Gibeon. The Gibedi is made up of four important towns built in the highlands, which are mutually inclined and easy to defend. Israeli soldiers have been tempted by the previous scams, scrambling to be the pioneers of siege.
Joshua was dispatching troops, and the gates of Gibeon suddenly opened. The people who made a covenant with Israel six days ago went to the city gate with sincerity and fear, and they came to Joshua and the elders to plead guilty. Joshua questioned them: "Since you live here, why do you want to deceive us to make a contract?"
They answered Joshua and said, "Because we have indeed heard that the Lord your God has commanded his servant Moses to give you all this land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you. We are afraid of I lost my life like Jericho and Aicheng, and I was helpless. In order to survive, I had to try to make a covenant with you. Now, since you are here, look, we are in your hands, how do you think we are good, how? Do it! Since we have made a covenant, the people in the city will never resist."
In the middle of the conversation, the soldiers in front of the river, like the rising tide of the sea, screamed and killed, trying to rush into the opened city gate as soon as possible, to the city to massacre. When Joshua saw it, he sent the leaders of the tribes to appease the angry soldiers and discuss with the elders how to dispose of them. After deliberation, Joshua said to the soldiers in front of the battle: "Since we have made a covenant with them in the name of the Lord, we must not violate the vows of the covenant. We must not see them open the gate to meet us, they want to take the opportunity to enter. In the city. We should let them survive, lest we ruin the contract unilaterally, causing God's anger to come to us."
After that, Joshua turned and said to the representative of the Gibeon, who was so scared that "we must let you live because we have made a covenant. But because you are deceiving us, your whole family will be Israel’s slaves for generations. We pick water and cut wood." Gibeon promised, leaned over and thanked. Since then, the people of Gibeon have become slaves to Israel. Gibeon has also become a great city in Israel, and has a famous celebrity.
Joshua sent an army to take over Gibeon, and went to the city to help the people, and then the class returned to the Gilgal camp. Not many days after returning to the camp, the horse suddenly came to the secret book of the Gibeon. Joshua opened a letter saying, "Don’t disregard your servant, please come up and save us and help us because The kings of the Amorites in the mountains have joined forces to attack us."
Since God can overcome death, of course, it can stop the sun.
In front of the ark in the tabernacle, Joshua muttered to God silently, and the sweat of the bean was rolling down his forehead, and he was waiting for God to instruct him how to act next.
The news from the spies greatly alarmed Joshua. He did not think that the five kings in the south of Gibeon surrounded Gibeon so quickly and densely. The strategic intentions of these five kings are very obvious. One is to punish the Gibeon people who have returned to Israel, and the other is to recapture Gibeon, to make it a major town in the north-south defense line and to protect the security of the cities in southern Canaan.
The joint work of the five kings greatly exceeded Joshua’s previous predictions of the situation. He was trapped in Jericho, and he took Ai, and he did not fight, but he was faced with an opponent. At present, the five kings live in Gibeon, and there will be a sorrowful mentality in the battle against the water, and it will certainly prevent Israel’s rescue. The Gilgal stationed in Israel is nearly a hundred miles away from Gibeon. If you want to rescue, you must march long distances, cross the mountains and stun the other side. The enemy's coalition forces are familiar with the terrain, open the big net, and wait for the movement to wait for the work, to the enemy. How does Israel have an odds? In the event of a defeat, the enemy will swoop from the highlands of Gibeon to kill the Israelites, and Israel will face the catastrophe.
Joshua waited for God's instructions in front of the Ark of the Covenant, and his heart struggled, and the sweat fell from his forehead to the ground. What if the basics are for help? After all, Kiwa had a marriage and family relationship with the Five Kings. The Gibeon people were known for their courage and bravery, and they went to Israel without fighting. Was their previous summation for the bait set up today to induce Israel to enter?
Even if the help of Gibeon is true, is it better if I don’t move? After all, Gibeon deceived Israel by covenant, and Gibeon was included in the city that needed to be annihilated. If Israel sits on the wall, seeing that the kings and the five kings kill each other, and finally take the benefits of the fishermen, is the battle more secure and beneficial?
However, the promise can be broken, how can the contract be torn like this, and the God of Israel is the God of the covenant. Although Israel did not receive any benefit from Gibeon, since it made a covenant with them, it should send troops to rescue. Joshua thought of it, no longer struggled, and the war was decided. In the silent tabernacle, the voice of God suddenly sounded: "Don't be afraid of them, because I have given them to you, and none of them can stand in front of you."
When Joshua came out of the tabernacle, the sun had fallen. The waiting generals gathered around. Joshua told them the words and tactics of God and then assigned them to mobilize the army. Soon, the troops of various tribes were assembled, except for a few elite soldiers who stayed in the base camp, and all the other fighters would play. The soldiers had a hearty dinner, polished the knife and prepared the dry food and water for two days, and the night had already arrived. Joshua prayed to God in front of the team, asking for the protection and strength of God, and finally made a mobilization order, and then the team set off for Gibeon.
The new moon, such as the flat boat, is in the bay of the night sea in the west, but the starry sky is full of embarrassment. The mountain breeze blew, and the scouts made pioneers on the mountain road. The team lined up and marched quickly. Everyone knows the weight of this battle. This is the battle of life and death in Israel. They heard the promise of God's victory from Joshua, and they were full of confidence. They must go through the 80-mile mountain road before dawn, climb four thousand feet, and attack the enemy's coalition forces with unintentional power.
The crooked moon gradually disappeared, and the east showed its dawn. The Israeli army arrived at a highland on the east side of Gibeon on time, quietly gathering into an attacking formation. Soldiers were armed with guns. The mountain eagle who was going to dive was not far away. At the camp of the coalition forces, huge tents in the camp, such as mushroom clusters, are in the valley, except for the sentinels, others are sleeping.
Suddenly, high-pitched battle horns sounded, and hundreds of thousands of Israeli soldiers, such as the black mountain eagle, swooped down, and the hillside was trampled by hundreds of thousands of people. As the dull drums rang, the dust ascended down like a mudslide, and it was always wrapped up. Enter the enemy camp. The sentinels were quickly slashed, and the soldiers who escaped from the tents were stunned. They thought they were awakened by nightmares. They opened their eyes and saw scenes that were more terrible than nightmares. The Israelites were all descended from the sky. They instinctively screamed loudly, and many screams were cracked in the air by a sharp knife. The screams that suddenly stopped were still floating in the air, and the soldiers who had fallen to the ground had already separated.
Between the bloody battles, the sun has risen, and the sky in the west of the city of Gibeon has tumbling, such as the black sea. The Israelis were flood-like and divided into two diversions, one from south to west, one from north to west, and from east to west around the bases of the bases. The tents of a top coalition army, such as eggs, were trampled under the feet of Israeli soldiers, and the soldiers who escaped fell to the ground like bones. Soon, the two Israeli troops who were chasing and killing met in the west of Gibeon and continued to chase down most of the coalition forces that fled to the west.
The land that must pass through the west side of Gibeon is the high land of Bohe, and the highlands are the lowlands of Bohe and the plains of the south. At this time, the downhill was crowded with escaped coalition soldiers, and the Israelis were still chasing the mountain road in the distance. They have been marching for more than a dozen hours, and the speed is slowing down, and they can't catch up with the coalition forces that are desperate to escape. In the midst of urgency, the thunder of the Bohe rum was rumbled. For a moment, the sky was lowered with the heavy rain of the big mouth of the bowl, all of which poured into the coalition troops who fled the mountain. The rain slowed down their escape speed, and the giants smashed them like stones. Many people did not slammed into the ground and were hit by more scorpions or the back of the brain.
When the Israelis panted and chased the low valley of Bohelang, the dark clouds had dispersed and the sun was shining. They were caught in the foreground of the eye and could not stop by opening their mouths. The narrow mountain road stretches to Assiga, dozens of miles away, and the body of the coalition is covered with a layer of hail, such as the image of hell in the sun.
Joshua saw this scene, knowing that God was in the heavens to help each other, let the army temporarily rest, in order to regain strength and continue to pursue. It was already afternoon, the sun was sinking, and the first month had risen in the west. Joshua knew that this was the best time to carry Yu Yong to kill the enemy, so as not to give the other party a chance to fight back. But the time before sunset was not enough to complete the task of chasing dozens of miles. In a hurry, Joshua raised his gun and looked at the sky, loudly ordering: "Sun, stop at Gibeon; moon, stop in Ayalun Valley After that, he turned back and shouted to the soldiers: "Look, God has lowered the hail to kill the enemy, and God will let the sun stop. God will put the fleeing enemy in our hands. Let us swell." Fighting, with the help of the Lord, continue to chase them until sunset!"
On that day, the sun did not fall as usual, about a day. Joshua gave birth to five kings and killed them. Only a handful of the army of the coalition forces fled back to the city. Joshua’s most outstanding battle in his life thus kicked off.
The most brilliant victory in Joshua's life
After breaking the five-king coalition, Joshua led the Israelites to continue to go south. It was like a broken bamboo. They successively attacked the seven cities of Markey, Lili, Raj, Giza, Izun, Hebron, and the bottom wall. He went to the southernmost tip of Canaan and hit the station where Moses and the tribe reported to the Twelve Detectives, such as Joshua and Caleb, 40 years ago. Forty years, a whole generation passed, and only Joshua and Caleb lived to see God's promises gradually come true.
The entire southern part of Canaan was quickly settled, and many cities were captured within a day. Joshua did not dare to neglect, swaying north, and marching for hundreds of miles, returning to Gilgal. The cities of northern Canaan are still unbroken, and Gilgal is in danger of being escorted by enemies in the north. Joshua must return to the base camp to prevent any accidents.
The kings of the north are doing united action. The king of Hazor, Jebin, united a dozen kings of the north, from the seashore on the west to the mountains on the east, together with the teacher at the shore of Lake Mirren, then listened to the commander of Jebin and went to encircle Israel.
Joshua got the message and prayed to God. The soldiers were so fast, Joshua decided to lead the army to Mirren, and unexpectedly, he was caught off guard. Gilgal is two hundred miles from Lake Millen. Joshua led the army along the Jordan River, concealing and saving roads and drinking water. In the middle of the night two days later, the army came to the highland next to Lake Millen, rested in the camp, waiting for Joshua’s military order.
When the rising sun rose, Joshua had already boarded the high ground to check the military situation. The North Allied Forces have stepped out of the tent and are marching in line. Hundreds of thousands of infantry, advancing and retreating, cover the ground like a locust swarm, and the dust that is set to cover the sky, such as dark clouds rolling over the ground. On the outside of the camp, tall horses and chariots are galloping for dozens of miles, which not only protects the military inside the camp, but also facilitates external attacks. The metal strips on the chariot flash in the sun like a rolling river.
Joshua saw that the other side was so trained and orderly, he could not help but be shocked. It is not only because he wants to fight such a large corps for the first time, but also because Israel is all infantry, and has never fought with horsemen and chariots of this size. On the edge of Lake Mirren, a horse is flat, suitable for chariot racing, and the rear of Xia Zao Wang Yebin. The enemy must be prepared, and Israel will come to life and death.
Sweat flowed into Joshua's eyes. He refused to wipe the sweat and kneel on the ground to pray to God. How can Israel overcome so many enemies? Once engaged, the enemy must be charged with a chariot, trampling the Israeli warriors like crushing ants. Although the Israeli soldiers are brave, how can they resist the offensive of the chariot. The coalition infantry behind the chariot must be later concealed. How could the Israeli soldiers be able to stand up?
The sun slowly rose. Waiting, Joshua heard the voice of God: "Don't be afraid of them. At this time, I will give them all to the Israelites to kill. You have to cut off their horse's tendons and burn their chariots with fire. Joshua heard the revelation of God, and his heart suddenly brightened. Yes, you must use the trick to break through the enemy's most reliant weapon: the chariot. Joshua stood up and took the entourage back to the camp.
In the middle of the night, a 20,000-strong Israeli soldier left his camp and quietly approached the coalition camp. Each of them was armed with a sharp knife, a slap in the flint, and a cotton wool. When they left the coalition camp for a few hundred meters, they began to move forward. They are a group of two and the target is a chariot. The chariots of the coalition forces were tied together at night, with the horse head facing inward and the chariot facing outwards. One to prevent the chariots from chaos, and the other to form an impenetrable chariot defense line. In the dark night, Israeli soldiers have touched each chariot. After a day of horse racing, like a sculpture, standing and sleeping.
Under the silent night, the sentinel of the coalition suddenly saw the flames of the beans as bright as the fireflies. In a flash, tens of thousands of fireflies lit up together as if they were awakened, lined up in a line, they flipped up and down three times, as if Say hello to each other. Then they fell together and fell into the darkness, as if they were swallowed up by the darkness.
When the sentinels in the coalition camp were still blinking and waiting for the flames to reappear, tens of thousands of horses suddenly made a deafening roar. While the Israeli warriors threw the fire into the chariot, they also saw the heels of the horses by the fire. They took out the sharp knife and cut it off to the horseshoe. Ma suddenly woke up, the painful screams, and went crazy like crazy. But they can't move, not only because their horseshoes are cut, but also because the chariots behind them are connected.
The flames gradually burned in the chariot, and a dragon that stretched for dozens of miles rolled in the night. Tens of thousands of horses screamed in pain, and the increasingly prosperous fire reflected the Lake of Mirren as a mirror of light. The fire is self-generated, the wind helps the fire, the connection between the chariots has already been blown, and the horses of the lame are dragging the fire group behind them, ramming and igniting the tents in the camp. The tents, such as the burning grass piles, spread from the camp to the core.
The army led by Joshua saw the success of the pioneers, screamed and rushed together according to the plan. The coalition soldiers fled to escape, but they were escaping from the fire, and they fell into a pool of blood. The Israeli soldiers became more and more brave, and by means of a flat terrain, they quickly contracted the encirclement and smashed the entire coalition camp in the morning.
The surviving troops in the coalition fled to the northwest and northeast respectively. Joshua was divided into two divisions, each chasing and killing. Joshua took his own troops and attacked Hazor. He captured the escaped Jebin, killed him with a knife, and slaughtered the city, and burned the city. Hazor became the third city to be destroyed by Joshua after Jericho and Ai.
The coalition forces in northern Canaan were thus wiped out by Joshua. Israel’s main north-south campaign ended. But how does Israel face the help of Canaan? Can Joshua finally complete the mission that Moses entrusted to him?
