Hittites: Battles
built 169 days ago
The Hittites were masters of strategy and even used guile and sleight of hand when it was to their advantage. They attempted to stage their battles in situations that were ideal to their military tactics, in open battles where the chariotry could be used to its greatest advantage.

The Hittites were perhaps most famous for waging fast, deadly warfare with their powerful heavy war chariots. The Three-Man Chariot was an improvement over other contemporary chariots in close combat, because it sacrificed speed for stability and "elbow room" with which to fight. At the battle of Kadesh, the Hittites used three-man chariots to closely engage the Egyptian forces; this almost routed the entire Egyptian host.

Stationed in the Land of Amor, they came from the rear of the Hittites, causing confusion in their lines. Many Hittite fighters were killed, wounded, or drowned. The rest of the enemy prayed for peace and fled to the fortress of Kadesh, which was surrounded by water. Even after the battle, the two superpowers were almost equally strong.
