The reader a glimpse into the Wu bronze sculpture decorative patterns

Archaeological discoveries have such examples. In general, the dagger can only be so pierced the breastplate standing warrior, dagger only managed to cut the thorns hurt their bare arms or thighs, causing heavy bleeding to kill him. Proportion to reinstall the soldiers of the total number of deaths in battle, where the data: 5% of the winner, the loser 15%, showing that the protective effect of armor on the soldiers. Fighting between the Greek, does not make the Greek city-states to become a military power. Inter-ethnic war is the best experiment to prove that a nation's military abilities. Wu bronze with creative designers are full of artistic charm. The past century, the Greeks began colonization out. They began to encounter the alien, but in the colonial movement, the Greeks encountered are basically weapons poor barbarians - the West has spread iron bronze weapons.
 Equipment here mainly refers to protective equipment, despite the late primitive society, people in the same high courage, but in terms of overall quality, they can not be compared with the Greek. Therefore, the resistance of the indigenous people in general is very easy to be ruled out. Worth remember is the grain-producing area in the north shore of the Black Sea to seek the Greeks encountered the Scythians, skilled in riding and shooting and also encountered the latter the angle of the bow. Wu bronze necessarily reflect their corresponding aesthetic experience, aesthetic sense and aesthetic concepts. However, in my impression, the Scythians with the Greeks actually never occurred in the war. Scythians dare to plunder Asia, not to test the truth of the sight of the Greek colonies, but it does not find the record, so there can not compare the tactics of the Scythians with the Greek tactics. Scythians, I guess, is the test over the Greek colonies, but feel too "hard", after no weight to. For the Greeks, Scythians military value, but to do police it.
Really great danger, and finally the advent of the beginning of the 5th century. The Persian Empire decided to conquer Greece, Greek wise to master the whole of West Asia, the Persian national strength is much stronger than the sum of the Greek city-states, and West Asia over two thousand years of political struggle trained Persian strategy than an endless struggle. Weapons, Persian should at least equal with Greece, while the number of armed forces is much higher than the Greek. Greece only struggling struggling. Decorative patterns on the bronze produced by layering.  However, the outcome of the war far beyond the people's surprise, Greece is not only defeated the Persian casualties significantly less than the Persian, not only in the defense of Greece achieved success in Asia Minor also won. Victory in the war reasons, historians have long been public opinion, and now only in respect of the issue of weapons to talk about.
The force of the Persian Empire is based on the riding and shooting, which is very different with great importance to heavy infantry Greek. From here the reader a glimpse into the Wu bronze sculpture decorative patterns that focus on the aesthetic sense. In West Asia, riding and shooting, its practicality, however, in the mountainous, has the biggest advantage of the narrow plain Greek cavalry - mobility, but plays out. In this way, in fact, the Persian army had to fight the way the Greeks are familiar with. In combat, as Herodotus wrote that the Persian archers could not effectively hurt the Greek heavy infantry, and their spears as good as the Greek spear so long warships at sea is not such as the Greeks. Word, Persian arms performed significantly worse than the Greek weapons. Persian technological level, the effectiveness of their weapons to play, does not seem to be such as historical performance so bad, then the poor performance of Persia weapons. Why?
