For thousands of years, the bow was an incredibly formidable weapon.
An archer's skill was worth its weight in gold, and a single shot could decide the outcome of a battle. This was especially true if a successful bow strike killed the enemy's leader.
However, on the battlefield, thousands of arrows typically merged into a single, deadly hail, capable of holding back an enemy's onslaught or breaking their ranks. But behind this apparent simplicity lay complex systems of supply, logistics, and strategy: arrows had to be delivered, stored, and used with precision, otherwise the archers' mighty force would become useless cargo.
How did medieval armies resupply their archers? What did archers do when they ran out of arrows? And why was volley fire so crucial to the success of a battle? Understanding these questions reveals just how sophisticated and technologically advanced the military strategy of the time was. #medieval #archery #bow #historyfacts #history #ancient
