Elder Leif was very worried about Tang Ping's decision. In his opinion, although these Viking warriors had received training for a period of time, they now had weapons and equipment to arm them.
But isn't it too early to fight Sevex now?
Just like what he told Tang Ping at the beginning, they Vikings are not afraid of sacrifice, but they cannot sacrifice casually.
"Elder Leif, there is a special art of war in our country, which is focused on various methods of war." Tang Ping explained patiently: "There is a art of war called beating the enemy before they pay attention."
"Now Sevex doesn't know that we are going to attack them. Their defenses must be lax. We can just take advantage of the enemy's laxity to launch an attack. Not only can we attack the enemy, but we can also use these weak enemies to temper our warriors. ."
"And we keep attacking the north side of Selvax. What do you think they will do?"
"They will naturally strengthen the defense of the north." Elder Leif said matter-of-factly. This is a truth that everyone understands.
"Yes, they will strengthen the defense in the north, and our country also has a military strategy called making noise in the east, but striking in the west. After we attract their heavy defense in the north, we will go directly back to Waitanhop Island After a period of repair and training, we will then directly attack their hinterland while the main force of their defense is in the north!"
If you want to say that China's art of war is simple, it is really simple. Many of them can be summarized in just four words.
But if the enemy is not aware of your strategic intentions, then the effect is really good.
There are so many classic battles over the past five thousand years, which are actually the best interpretations of the four-character art of war.
Leif really didn't expect that there would be so many stories about the war. He originally thought that Tang Ping would find a suitable time to attack Selwicks directly after training and equipping the Viking warriors. He didn't expect that there would be something unexpected in the middle. There are so many ways!
The Vikings and Sexes have been fighting for many years. Everyone swarmed to see who had more people, whose soldiers were stronger and whose weapons were better, but they never thought it could be like this!
Because of this, Leif was deeply impressed by Tang Ping. It seemed that there was really hope that he could overthrow the rule of the Sevex Kingdom this time.
Early the next morning, Tang Ping and the others took more than a thousand Viking warriors and headed north of Selwicks along with the sea breeze.
Sewicks was naturally unaware of this. The defender York yawned and almost fell asleep while holding on to his spear.
I actually lost more than sixty iron coins last night, and I must make it back today.
What kind of enemies can there be in this vast North Sea?
Sevex has already overwhelmed several neighboring countries.
Those savages in the north will be captured and used as slaves as long as they dare to appear in the kingdom's sight. It is a waste of time for my team to be sent here!
"York, is there something in the sea?"
"Haha!" York yawned: "What can there be? Is it a sea monster? Hahahaha!"
At this time, sailboats with huge skulls painted on them appeared on the foggy sea.
The crew members on the ship were wearing light armor, their exposed skin was covered with scars or tattoos, and they all looked hideous.
They are armed with a variety of weapons, from huge axes to broad broadswords, from sharp spears to cunning daggers, all full of violence and menace.
There is no way. If Old Peter can buy weapons for so many people, it is considered good. It is impossible to ask for the same standard.
These Vikings roared, flapped their weapons and drove the sailboat towards the dock. "Enemy...enemy attack!"
"Pirates, pirates are attacking the dock!!"
The panicked York and other guards shouted while hurriedly putting their helmets on their heads, and then grabbed their weapons.
However, there are only less than a hundred people guarding this pier. There is no match for the thousand Viking warriors who suddenly rushed up. After just one encounter, these guards dispersed like birds and beasts.
"Vikings, move forward bravely! Be fearless and invincible! Our fleet sweeps across the ocean! Conquer the world and show glory!"
"Charge into battle, not afraid of strong enemies! Wield the battle ax and sing loudly! Our warriors are like wolves and tigers! Let the enemy be frightened by the news!"
Singing the Viking war hymn, the Vikings obeyed Tang Ping's orders and did not harm anyone too much, but they looted almost everything that could be moved on the dock.
Then the entire northern part of Sewicks was like a hornet's nest. Even two docks and one castle were attacked by pirates in one day.
The guards at each place ranged from two hundred to dozens. Naturally, they were no match for the thousands of Viking warriors. They could hardly form any resistance before being defeated.
There was a castle that I originally wanted to use for defense. Who knew that there were many sharp archers among the people who came to attack. They would kill them with one arrow as soon as they showed their heads above the castle.
The result of keeping their heads exposed was that the pirates climbed up the castle in a few clicks and were slaughtered. The wealth in the castle was also removed.
"You idiots, the whole north is full of pirates. The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is to listen to your reports about where pirates have appeared in the north, but you haven't even figured out each other's origins!"
"Your Highness Wulf, it is reported that those pirates are Vikings!!"
"Are you kidding? Just those Vikings? Those poor Vikings who can't even put on their trousers?" Woolf didn't believe it at all: "Tell me, where did the Vikings get the money to buy so many sailing ships? Buy so much armor and weapons?”
"Your Highness, no matter what the background of the other party is, we must quickly strengthen the defense of the north!! His Majesty the King has just handed over the northern territory to you to manage. If it is because of pirates, I am afraid..."
Hearing the suggestion from an aide, Woolf nodded: "Send someone, send me someone, send all our people there!"
"Sent them all?"
"Nonsense, that's a group of pirates. They will only appear from the sea to plunder and then escape. Guard the northern coast for me. I want these pirates to never come ashore again!"
Woolf would never allow the Northern Territory, which was handed over to him to manage, to reduce taxes due to pirates. This was the first step for him to take over the throne. If there was no success here, his father, the king, would be more than just his son.
And when Woolf mobilized all the troops he could mobilize to the north, the pirates who were ravaging the north seemed to suddenly disappear without a trace.
