In the history of ancient warfare, the Jin State was unique for its powerful military strength, among which the hoplite Tiefutu was the most eye-catching. With its unique equipment and strong combat effectiveness, this hoplite has become a terrifying force in the era of cold weapons. So, what's so special about the Iron Float? What are the aspects of its combat effectiveness and influence?
First of all, from the point of view of equipment, the equipment of the Iron Floating Slaughter is special, which can be called a must. They were draped in heavy iron armor that was not only heavy, but also intricately designed to withstand enemy sword and bow attacks. At the same time, their horses were also heavily armoured, with only four hooves exposed, which made the Iron Float extremely defensive and impactful on the battlefield.
According to historical records, the weight of a Tiefutu armor may be between 60 and 70 kilograms, and may even reach 60 catties, which puts forward extremely high requirements for the physical strength and endurance of soldiers.
Secondly, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the Iron Floating Slaughter is extremely strong. On the battlefield, they are able to break through the enemy's defense line with dense formations and powerful impact force, bringing great psychological pressure and shock effect to the enemy. In addition, the Iron Butcher was equipped with a horse eye shield to protect against the firing of bows and arrows, which further strengthened their defenses.
In the war between the Jin State and the Southern Song Dynasty, Tiefutu played an important role, for example, in 1140, the 100,000 army led by Jin Wushu included 15,000 abducted horses and 5,000 Tiefutu, which reached the vicinity of Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, the great fighting power of the Iron Float was not without a price. The equipment and maintenance costs of this type of hoplite are extremely high, and they require a lot of human, material and financial resources. In addition, due to the excessive weight of the equipment, the physical strength and endurance of the soldiers were extremely demanding, which also limited the number and combat effectiveness of the Iron Relief. Therefore, despite its excellent performance on the battlefield, its numbers were never able to expand massively during the long wars of the Jin Kingdom.
In addition, the tactical use of the Iron Float also has certain limitations. Due to the excessive weight of its equipment, its mobility is limited to a certain extent, and it is difficult to flexibly deal with complex terrain and battlefields. Therefore, when the generals of the Jin Kingdom used the Iron Floating Massacre, they usually needed to combine other arms and tactics to exert their maximum combat effectiveness.
With its unique equipment and strong combat effectiveness, the Jin State hoplite Tiefutu has become a terrifying force in the era of cold weapons. Their presence not only poses a huge threat to the enemy, but also demonstrates the strength and deterrence of the power of the golden **.
However, the strong combat effectiveness of the Iron Float also came at a high price, and its equipment and maintenance costs were extremely high, limiting the development of its numbers and combat effectiveness. At the same time, its tactical use also has certain limitations, and it needs to be combined with other arms and tactics to exert its maximum combat effectiveness.
Despite this, Tiefutu is still a beautiful scenery in the history of the Golden Dynasty, revealing to us the strength and shock of the hoplites in ancient wars.
