Those Viking troops and English soldiers began to fight, and Viking troops bought a large number of muskets made by the Eastern Roman Emperor's ** fire merchants.

The English soldiers were relatively inferior in their weapons, and they still used heavy swords and spears.

The Viking troops, with muskets, fired at the English troops.

The English troops fought back with longbows, and of course on the whole, the English troops were at a disadvantage.

At the same time, the Vikings began to attack cities of relative size, such as London, the capital of England.

London has high stone walls and about 100,000 inhabitants. There were about 5,000 soldiers in the city, defending the city.

In the city of London, the weather can be described as very strong. England's warriors have always been known for their fearlessness, but in fact these soldiers become soft eggs when they encounter a Viking unit with advanced weapons.

When the Vikings began to shout about the wrong and rushed towards the stone walls of the city of London, the English longbowmen shot at these men with bows and arrows.

The English archers shot down the armoured Vikings.

The nobles and beautiful ladies of London smiled at the English soldiers at the foot of the city, and the Vikings who seemed to never be able to kill

Fight.

In the midst of a group of noisy people, Tang Zhangwei cautiously observed the tactics of the Vikings.

The Viking commander grabbed his hat in one hand and his sword in the other, with a slight smile on his face, as if he was calm, in fact, the Viking commander Li Cisco did not have a bottom in his heart, he saw his men carrying a ladder and desperately climbing up.

The Viking general Li Sisco, the Viking infantry general Nivar, the Viking cavalry general Nikoli, and the Viking admiral Hinter joined forces to prepare to take the city of London once and for all.

These Viking death squads are the most elite warriors among the Vikings.

Li Cisco hoped that these warriors would bring good luck to themselves and conquer the city of London in one fell swoop.

The Vikings' heavy gunners were ready to bombard the walls, but Li Cisco wanted to let the warriors storm first to see the effect.

When the Viking warriors rushed to the walls of London, the English soldiers on the walls began to pour boiling oil and quicklime downward.

The Viking soldiers let out a scream, and they covered their faces and crouched on the ground.

A few lucky Viking soldiers climbed the walls, and the brave English soldiers, unsheathed their swords, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Vikings who tried to storm the city.

Although the English soldiers were much smaller than the Viking warriors. However, they still resisted stubbornly, and these people attacked with their swords nimbly.

Some English soldiers stabbed the Viking soldiers with spears.

The spears and heavy swords of those English soldiers carved a hole in the Vikings.

The blood of the cut Viking soldiers was dripping on the ground, and the Vikings let out a scream.

The English people and nobles who watched the battle laughed maniacally, greeting the Vikings' ancestors with the most brutal words.

Those Viking warriors were extraordinary, but due to the stubborn resistance and thorough preparation of the English, they did not dare to attack easily after losing in the first round.

However, the Viking generals shouted loudly, and the Viking warriors on the front line had no choice but to continue to charge upward, and those who were shot by the archers of the English soldiers, or thrown at them by waste oil and quicklime, surrendered their lives to death.

These people were so badly wounded that those who died alive and in battle never had a chance to return to their homeland, and the vast majority were killed on the spot by the English.

Some were cut in two, and England himself was not friendly to the captives.

Although some Viking soldiers, when the mountains were at the end of the mountain, wanted to surrender and be treated well.

But the English killed them at every turn, and the occasional captives who survived were humiliated.

During the fierce battle between the Vikings and the English, Tang Zhaozong and the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI hid in a small straw hut, and they, like Tang Zhangwei, eagerly watched the situation on the battlefield.

Tang Zhaozong and Emperor Leo VI of the Eastern Roman Empire were originally ready to take advantage of the fire, but when they arrived at the actual battlefield, they realized that their plan was too naïve.

On the battlefield, there is simply no room for them to meddle.

Although Tang Zhaozong and Emperor Leo VI of the Eastern Roman Empire had more than 300 of the most elite soldiers at their disposal, they had no advantage over the Vikings, who were not afraid of death, and the English and Welsh soldiers who were familiar with the local situation.

The reason why Tang Zhangwei hid his more than 200 elite troops in the suburbs was also out of this consideration.

After all, if Tang Zhangwei led this force and hurriedly interfered in the defensive battles in the city of London, England, or those wars in the small towns of Wales, the Vikings would point the finger at him.

If Tong Zhangwei helped the Vikings to attack the cities of the English and Welsh, the local city lords and residents would not be friendly to General Tong Zhangwei.

Therefore, General Tang Zhangwei adopted the strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

On the walls of the city of London, the Vikings continued to fight the English.

However, there were fewer and fewer Viking soldiers rushing over.

Tang Zhangwei sensed that the Viking generals had other plans, and he speculated that they might be bombarded with heavy artillery.

Therefore, Tang Zhangwei's face turned blue, and he hurriedly left the crowd and rushed into the basement of a church.

Later, he felt unsafe and left the church.

Tang Zhangwei came to the mansion of a young viscount, which was located in the north corner of the city of London, and was very large.

The owner of this house has a relationship with General Tang Zhangwei, but when General Tang Zhangwei came in, he threw a large stack of Tang treasure banknotes and a small bag of gold coins to the butler and the viscount.

These things made Lord Viscount smile at Tang Zhangwei.

General Tang Zhangwei said: "If it is possible, we will now hide in the cellar where the wine is kept." ”

The viscount was amazed, and he asked, "Aren't we now in an advantageous position and have already repelled the enemy?" Why are we hiding in cellars? As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound of cannons, and the earth began to tremble.

The Viscount was shocked, he could not have imagined that the Vikings' heavy artillery was so powerful that it could easily change the tide of battle.

Although the viscount had heard of the Vikings attacking the small towns with cannons, he did not expect that the high walls of London could not withstand the bombardment of artillery.
