1, Savage Forest, Roman Shield
The rise of Rome is inseparable from the shield array of the Roman legion. Standardized equipment is an important guarantee for the invincible Roman legion, because it is a standard round shield. It can be used in the army more efficiently, so the Roman army used standardized shields. Facing toughness? Tough character? Can be quickly connected into a rectangular turtle array. They use long curved shields, which are closely connected and wrapped in shields from head to toe. Then, according to the password, spears and daggers are stabbed from time to time from the gap of the shield.
This phalanx tactic is suitable for plain and hilly terrain. And it can only be invincible, attacking the Germanic barbarians who are still in the primitive jungle, and attacking the urban civilization without the Yugoslav capital bed crossbow and precision sight trebuchet.
2, Xiongnu fierce horse, tortoise useless
Look at the enemies of the Han Dynasty and the Huns. They have fought countless times in the Gobi desert, a grassland without walls. Tarquin, who leaps and bends his bow, is skilled in bow and horse, and the soldiers and the people are one. Often riding a fast horse without saddle and stirrup. Traveling inside and outside the Great Wall, it was obviously out of place for the Han army to use the tortoise array similar to the Roman army to deal with the cavalry who were shooting arrows and vaulting horses.
So instead of appearing, similar to the Roman tortoise array, it is better to use the killing advantage of crossbows, like Li Ling and 5 thousand people, rely on fortifications and use the comprehensive effect of weapons to resist the Xiongnu attack. So similar to the famous Roman tortoise array, in China? Not acclimatized? .
3. With the development of science and technology, Shield Array was eliminated.
With the use of stirrups, war horses are getting better and better, the rapid development of science and technology is catalyzed by war, and the use of shield arrays is more restricted, especially the birth of artillery muskets. Completely kicked the shield array out of the stage that played an important role in the history of war.
