chariot warfare
Wheeled battle tactics
Chariot warfare is military combat using horse-drawn, two-wheeled vehicles, dominant in ancient Near Eastern, Egyptian, and Mediterranean civilizations.
Chariots served as mobile archery platforms and shock weapons, allowing warriors to strike rapidly and retreat.
The Egyptians perfected chariot warfare against the Hittites at Kadesh.
The technology declined as cavalry became more effective.
