Assyrian Archers Used Iron Headed Arrows

Assyrian archers would be accompanied by their own individual shield bearer. Archers had the capability to fire arrows as far as half a kilometre with their iron headed arrows, which were cleverly carried in a quiver. The assyrians also seemed have a serious weapon in the siege tower, which could be put to use when besieging an enemy city. A battering ram protruding from a mobile tower, complete with archers at the top of the tower, and very likely a large amount of infantry. Cavalry and chariots would accompany this fighting unit, and the results were incredible.
