Viking leading battleship

As sea tourists, in about 800 AD, the Vikings occupied Fano Island, and in 802 AD, they occupied Aucry and shetland islands. Iceland was discovered in 86 1 year and began to settle here. In 983 ad, Viking explorer Eric? Erik Raude arrived in Greenland, and it is said that his son Liv? Eriksson arrived in North America in 1000, landed in Boston today, and reached 42 degrees north latitude. These sailing activities were serious at that time, requiring extraordinary courage and vitality and a large number of ships. During the Viking era, the Nordic people, especially the Norwegians, improved their shipbuilding technology. Through centuries of efforts, they have developed the shipbuilding technology of Viking ships to a higher level. The Viking fleet includes not only very slender long-oared warships (leading warships), but also well-known wide-oared warships with auxiliary sails and wide cargo ships.

Turkish sultan pro-soldier

The pro-Sudanese army is the elite of the Turkish army, which can do the greatest harm to the enemy on the battlefield. The symbol of Sultan Qin Bing's privilege is a high hat worn on his head. This unit allows every soldier to choose his own weapon freely, so you can often see all kinds of swords, crossbows and special gunpowder weapons on it. /kloc-after the 0/5th century, Turks began to use gunpowder weapons in an all-round way. This unit can also be said to be composed of the best musketeers.

Only with extraordinary abilities and achievements can you join the most elite troops in this kingdom. Unlike the samurai in the East and the knights in the West, aristocratic families could not become members of the Guards because of the hereditary system. When the European Legion is commanded by a noble (whether it is appropriate or not), the rank of a Turkish soldier is completely determined by his past achievements. In that era of lack of professional mercenaries, the Turkish legion had almost invincible fighting capacity.

Gothic guard

Goths are a branch of ancient Germanic people. They are famous for their fierce plunder and violent destruction, so the Goths have very powerful infantry. Even after barbarians from Asia and the Eastern Roman Empire introduced cavalry technology, infantry remained an indispensable backbone of the Gothic Legion. Infantry is at a disadvantage in front of groups of archers, and Gothic guards wearing solid armor and holding swords are archers' biggest nemesis.

Historically, the Gothic Guard mostly refers to the bodyguard corps belonging to nobles or chiefs. According to textual research, the excellent ability of these elites against archery troops comes from the weapons they use. Just like the heavy infantry phalanx in the ancient kingdom of Macedonia, the long gun queue, which is as dense as the jungle and keeps moving as a whole, can effectively resist the invasion of various archery weapons.

Sarazon Mamluk

Mamluk is a unique branch of Saracens. It uses the half-moon machete commonly used by desert people to fight on horses or camels. Because horses are very disgusted with Mamluk's special smell, Saracen soldiers who control camels have become the biggest killers of cavalry. Unlike ordinary Saracen soldiers, Mamluk is equipped with quite strict armor. Because of their religious beliefs and high morale, they are a very terrible armed force, winning many victories for the Saracens at critical moments. In several Crusades, the biggest challenge faced by European knights was these heavily armored Mamluk warriors.

Mamluk is a slave warrior trained by Arab rulers for war purposes (similar to mercenary nature). In the early Muslim world, there was a strict ban, and there could be no disputes and struggles between Islamic believers, while Mamluk was completely unaffected by the ban. They are soldiers with high intensity military training and high fighting enthusiasm. A Mamluk army from Egypt once defeated the invincible Mongolian cavalry in Syria and saved the Nile Valley and North Africa. When Napoleon invaded Egypt in the18th century, he defeated a Mamluk army in the Pyramid Battle.
