The crux of the problem can be attributed to the Persian "national conditions" up. Originally, West Asia is a composite bow, iron bronze weapons, armor, scales A, cutlasses, cavalry, siege weapons, the hometown of the ancient bronze weapons, coupled with the state treasury filling, convenient transportation, if the enthusiasm of the craftsman is able to give full play to the Persian weapons will not outdated. The bronze of Wu also reflects the three-dimensional decorative patterns that focus on the aesthetic function. However, a small nomadic origin, Persian rule so many people had scared deadly everywhere carefully fortified. If those who have been ruling nation have sophisticated weapons, or training into a strong military powerhouse, if there is a very seeking ", it is also terrible? Persian rule how tolerant, the most critical and most important military issue is not the slightest room for negotiation.
Therefore difficult to understand, in the huge Persian army, only the Persians have a good armor, most of the other ethnic groups do not have good armor, some of them even slightly better offensive weapons are not, for example, the first universal iron bronze weapons Asia state the person actually in the Persian army, copper bronze weapons! Similarly, well-trained and courageous army of aliens posing a potential threat to the rule of the Persians, so they are destined to only be designed as a motley bunch. Wu decorative patterns of bronze shows more symmetrical composition. So it is understandable why the Persian army can only depend on the number of win, despite the huge military command and supply a big problem, but compared with the crack may endanger the nation's army is the most "safe . When all ethnic groups in the military suppressed alone and cultural backwardness, the number of little Persians, has been impossible to develop effective weapon system.
This is the performance of the Persian weapons far inferior to the Greek reason, despite the large number of Persian army, but soldiers available, but is one of the few Persians, everyone is brave than the Greek army, in fact, but disadvantage in the number. The decoration mainly changed with the production of bronze and molding technologies. Persian army in the use of weapons there are two highlights: First, bows and arrows to use. Greek heavy infantry, the arrows of Persia is nothing to fear, but the appalling scenes of distant attacks, after all, can cause shock and thinking of the Greeks. That point the way, Fuller in the Western world military history, "that the battle of Plataea, the Persian army infantry plug behind Archers, is a mistake, because it hinders the maneuvering of the Persian archers.
My view is that there is room for negotiation in the tactics, however ancient fighting style, the use of archers as "firepower" strike force, while the infantry columns behind the archers, ready to assault. The commander in chief is a habit difficult to break through has been. Second, the cavalry. Persian riding and shooting started, of course, much stronger than Greece. Persian use of cavalry to the Greeks a deep impression, the most important is the impact of its mobility to the war, the Greeks get a lot of inspiration. Symmetric patterns are also better able to express the kind of stability in the pursuit Wu bronze sculpture to meet the solemn aesthetic needs. Greece to give the Persian inspiration, is the importance of a sturdy armor. Fear of the war, the greatest fear than to not hurt the enemy, even if the power of opponents weapons, no matter how large, as long as we are killing them.
