After taking many small and large cities , both Abu Ubaidah ibn al - Jarrah and Khalid ibn al - Walid met at Qinnasarin , and they marched to Aleppo , where a strong garrison under a Roman general named Joachim held the fort . Aleppo consisted of a large walled city and a smaller but virtually impregnable fort outside the city atop a hill , a little more than a quarter of a mile across , surrounded by a wide moat .

Joachim received no signs of any help from the emperor Heraclius ( who could indeed send none ) . Consequently , around October 637 , the Romans surrendered on terms according to which the soldiers of the garrison were allowed to depart in peace .

210 mm gun M1939 ( Br - 17 ) The 210 mm gun M1939 ( Br - 17 ) ( ) was a Czechoslovak heavy siege gun used by the Soviet Union during World War II . After the Germans occupied Czechoslovakia in March 1939 they took over the Škoda Works , which had been working on this design and a companion 305 mm howitzer . As a result of the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact the Germans sold both designs to the Soviet Union .
