the new Assyrian period (935 ~ 612 BC)

is the new Assyrian empire. In the 1th century BC, Assyria entered the Iron Age. The use of ironware and the improvement of productivity provided sufficient troops and supplies for its long-term foreign war. At the beginning of the campaign, it aimed at plunder and was characterized by extreme cruelty. Since Assyria Naxiba II (reigned from 883 to 859), Assyria has been strongly resisted by the people in the conquered areas. The war with the kingdom of Uraltu also suffered repeated failures, and many conquered areas regained their independence. Since Sharma Naesser III (reigned from 858 to 824), Assyria has entered a crisis period due to economic decline, failure of foreign wars and infighting of the ruling class. In 746 BC, Tigra Palaza, a military general, won the throne and carried out a series of reforms to consolidate centralization, improve the combat effectiveness of troops and strengthen the rule and exploitation of conquered areas. After the reform, large-scale expansion resumed. Defeat urartu, occupy Syria and enter its heyday. From the central government to the local government, a huge bureaucratic system has been established. After the conquest of Sargon II, Sinatra Hrib (reigned from 74 to 681) and Hisard Hadong (reigned from 68 to 669), Assyria has become a slave empire spanning Asia and Africa. Ashabani waged a long war with Elam-Babylon Alliance. At the end of its rule, there was a civil war, the nomadic tribe Sishuyan invaded, the conquered areas became independent one after another, and the empire quickly went to extinction. Under the attack of Medes and the new kingdom of Babylon, Ashur and Nineveh fell successively, and the Assyrian Empire perished in 612 BC, and the land was divided between Medes and Babylon.

Develop

Assyrian Empire is the first country in the history of the world that can be called "military empire". Almost all the emperors of the empire spent their time in constant expansion and conquest, and their military development was the most developed in the ancient world. Assyria is located in the northern part of the two river basins. Around 3 BC, there was a city-state established by Assyrians who spoke Sem, centering on the Assyrian city on both sides of the Tigris River. When sargon and Hammurabi were strong, they expressed their submission, but they always maintained a semi-independent status. Only after the decline of the powerful kingship in the south of the two river basins did Assyria regain its independence and develop itself.

The history of ancient Assyria lasted for more than 2, years from Sumerian period to Assyrian Empire, and was generally divided into three stages: ancient Assyria, middle Assyria and Empire. In ancient Assyria (2-16 BC), the Sams settled in the north and founded the country. In Akkadian period, the kingship gradually became stronger. By the time King Shamash Adade I (1815-1783 BC) began to expand outward, Eshonuna and Mali all expressed their submission, and Hammurabi also expressed his submission to Assyria in the early years of his reign. But soon Assyria was defeated by Hammurabi, and for a long time it was in the northern corner of the two rivers. During the period of Middle Assyria (15-9 BC), it was quite strong during the time of Tigrat Parashar I (1114-176 BC), and then it was invaded by Armenians, and the national situation declined. It was not until the beginning of the 9th century BC that Assyria crossed the empire as a powerful country with two rivers, starting from Assyria Nasirpa II (883-859 BC). Nasirpa II led an army to cross the Euphrates River and enter the city of Karhermish by means of a inflatable skin raft. Its king Sankara paid a large amount of tribute, including 25 talents (1 talent =26.19 kilograms) of iron, which indicated that Assyria had entered the Iron Age. The extensive use of iron is particularly important in the military. The Assyrian army is invincible with iron weapons and equipment, chariots and cavalry.

There are reliefs showing that the siege hammer appeared in Assyria during Nasirpa II. The design of the city-breaking hammer is varied. The hammer body is a big wooden beam and the head is covered with metal skin. City-breaking hammers are covered with a framework made of wicker, wood or animal skins to protect operators. There are two types of city-breaking hammers: fixed and movable with pulleys.

In order to prevent the enemy from burning and destroying the city hammer, it is necessary to prepare water for prevention, or hang a curtain that is not easy to burn in front of the hammer. A relief is also engraved with the method of the enemy trapping the hammer head with a chain link and then hanging it. The Assyrians hooked the chain link with a hook to resist. The city-breaking hammer is usually hung on the chain of equipment, shaken by soldiers, and directly hits the city wall from the ground. Sometimes high mounds are piled up on the outside of the city wall, and then the hammer is pushed onto the mounds to hit the upper part of the castle forward. The ancient Greeks used mounds in the Peloponnesian War to attack the city with a hammer.

By the time of King Sharma Nasser III (858-824 BC), he had made many expeditions to urartu, and had also made a westward expedition to Syria and occupied its capital Damascus. Damascus is located at the intersection of commercial routes from Mesopotamia to Phoenicia and from Asia Minor to the hinterland of Arabia, so occupying Damascus is of great significance to the economic development of Assyria. Sharma Nasser III also plundered a large amount of iron from Malaysia, up to 5, talents. The iron in Damascus was imported from Asia, but the iron products were made by local craftsmen. Assyrians also plundered and imported iron at first, and then mined and smelted iron ore by themselves. The quality of iron products made by their metallurgists was very high, which ensured the advanced nature of the Assyrian army. From the 9th century BC to the 8th century BC, the Assyrian army was gradually armed with iron weapons and armor, which was a major change in the equipment of the Assyrian army.
