Viking Roar (Viking Roar and Glory)
Vikings, Vikings, were one of the most terrible maritime forces in medieval Europe. With their courage, wisdom and fearless spirit, they conquered the whole Nordic sea area and became the maritime hegemon. Their unique fighting methods, sophisticated weapons and flexible tactics are daunting. This article will introduce the Vikings' fighting methods, their history and culture.

First of all, the history and culture of the vikings.

The history of vikings can be traced back to the 8th century. They were originally a group of farmers and fishermen from Scandinavia. Because of the bad climate in northern Europe, poor agricultural harvest and underdeveloped fisheries, the vikings began to look for development opportunities. They began to build ships and crossed the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean for trade and plunder. In this process, they gradually formed their own culture and traditions, including faith, art and fighting methods.

Vikings believed in Norse mythology, and the gods they worshipped included Odin, Thor and Loki. They think they are descendants of God, and the meaning of life lies in fighting and sacrificing for God. This belief had a far-reaching impact on the fighting spirit of the Vikings, which made them show fearless and brave spirit on the battlefield.

Viking art is also very unique. They are good at carving and weaving, and have made many exquisite works of art, including bow statues, metal ornaments and fabrics. These works of art reflect the culture and traditions of the Vikings and become symbols of their conquest of other civilizations.

Second, the Viking way of fighting

Vikings have a unique way of fighting. They are good at fighting at sea and infantry. When fighting at sea, Vikings usually use long boats, which are long and narrow, fast and can get close to the enemy quickly. Their bow statues are usually bibcock or pirate skulls. These statues are considered as symbols of the guardian gods, which can protect the crew from harm.

The vikings also had excellent weapons. They usually use spears, axes and swords. One of the most famous is the Viking Tomahawk, which has a very sharp head and can easily cut off enemy shields and helmets. Vikings are also good at using long-range weapons such as bows and arrows and spears, which can attack enemies from a distance.

In infantry fighting, Vikings usually used shield wall tactics, and arranged shields in a row to form a solid defensive wall. The soldiers stood behind the shield and stabbed the enemy with spears. This tactic can effectively defend the enemy's attack, and also keep the vikings in close formation in the battle.

Third, the glory and decline of the vikings

The glory of the vikings lasted for about 200 years, from the 8th century to the10th century. During this period, the Vikings conquered the whole Nordic Sea, including Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. They also expanded eastward and conquered Russia and Ukraine. Vikings' plunder and trade activities made them one of the richest people in the world at that time.

However, the Viking days of our lives did not last long. 1 1 century, other European countries began to rise, and their navies and weapons gradually became stronger. Vikings' plunder and trade activities were also restricted by other countries. In addition, the division and struggle within the Vikings also accelerated their decline. In the end, the Vikings' maritime hegemony was seized by other countries, and their culture and traditions gradually disappeared.
