During the Warring States period, chariots were rampant, why did the Han Dynasty gradually disappear

The mobility of the chariots is not strong, there is no infantry to use, and the counterfeiting of the chariots is too high, even if a platoon of chariots is created, it cannot be used in a bad area.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars broke out frequently, so chariots were used rampantly, but after the Han Dynasty, the economy and politics gradually decreased, so wars were also decreasing, and chariots were used relatively rarely.

Most of the ancient chariots were used by emperors, and they were not really used in war, and this kind of chariot was easily discovered by enemy crossbowmen and attracted a rain of arrows, which was not practical, so it was rarely used in the later period.

This is due to the fact that the vehicle does not turn around well and is susceptible to terrain restrictions. This chariot was very poor in the wars against the northern minorities during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Most of the enemies faced by the Han Dynasty were nomads, so small bows and crossbows were more suitable, and the Han Dynasty paid attention to rest and recuperation, and large chariots were not suitable for excessive consumption.

The first is that the Han Dynasty was politically stable, and there were few wars, so chariots were rarely used, and secondly, chariots were expensive to build and a waste of time. Out of the requirements for combat efficiency and the development of the times, the Han Dynasty sent troops to combat with the requirements of efficiency and results.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the productivity was low, and the military strength was not high, if a country had a chariot, it would be very powerful, and by the end of the Warring States Period, the productivity increased, especially the advantages of Hufu cavalry and archery advocated by King Zhao Wuling, which was slowly imitated by other countries, in addition, the mobility of the chariot itself was not high, so the chariot was slowly replaced by other advanced **.

The military reform that began during the Warring States period began with King Wuling of Zhao, and then this reform quickly spread. By the Han Dynasty, of course, there were no chariots left.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, most countries would have a main branch of the army, which was the chariot army. At that time, whether a country was strong or not depended on the number of tanks it had. The title of "Land of a Thousand Multipliers" is the glory of some military powers, representing the strength of the country.

As the main arm at that time, the car soldiers had two main performances. First, it can be regarded as a characteristic of that era, all wars in the Central Plains basically rely on chariots to decide the winner. For example, some of the more famous battles, such as:

Battle of Chengpu. The second is that many countries have paid attention to the construction of chariots and troops, and have increased the number of combat vehicles, which has become the focus of military expansion in various countries.

The emergence of new things will always replace some old things, this is an eternal truth. The appearance of infantry made the status of the chariot soldiers less high. After all, it was necessary to adapt to the changes in society and the field of warfare at that time, and slowly in these aspects, the chariot soldiers became a little less important.

By the time of the Han Dynasty, the chariot soldiers had really experienced a process of prosperity and decline. The core of war is no longer the tank. Although in the Spring and Autumn Period, the number of chariots and soldiers combined with the number of chariots and apprentices was a sign to judge whether each country was strong or weak, but it has to be said that the social change was too fast, and the chariots were relatively heavy, although the power of the war was not small, but it was very time-consuming and laborious, and the transportation was extremely inconvenient, and even the chariots and soldiers were gradually not so valued.

After all, it is not as light and convenient as the infantry. It is also destined to be eliminated.

It can be said that the elimination of the chariot soldiers is inevitable, although it also has a great contribution in a specific period, and it is also a symbol of power at that time. But how to say it, it's not weak, but it's not suitable for the development of society, just like that kind of desktop computer, we can also find a lot of things on it, but we just like the new computer now, the reason is the same.

No, the chariot soldiers were the most critical factor in victory and defeat on the field before the Qin Dynasty, but with the changes of the times and equipment, the chariots slowly faded out because they were relatively bulky.

In fact, it is not that the side of the car is too weak, but that the movement of the car soldiers is too slow and can no longer keep up with the trend of historical development, so it slowly fades out of history.

Because at that time, the military vehicles were particularly cumbersome and inconvenient to carry, and secondly, due to the emergence of new ** and troops, these things were gradually backward by the times.

I think it should be the progress of the times, after all, ** is always changing, maybe the chariot soldiers are too troublesome, and they are not easy to walk, so they are eliminated.

It is not that the chariots are on the battlefield, but the most important battle positions can determine the victory or defeat of one side, but with the bulkiness of the equipment, the chariots have to withdraw from the battle.

Because the territory of the Han Dynasty continued to expand, it became more and more inconvenient for the chariot soldiers to fight, so the chariot soldiers were gradually transformed into infantry, which was conducive to combat.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, most of the main forces of the country would be infantry, but the chariot soldiers were too troublesome, and they were not easy to walk, so they were eliminated.

The mobility of the chariot soldiers is too poor, and with the development of the times, the combat aspect requires the soldiers to become more and more flexible, and the chariot soldiers have no way to keep up with the development of the times.

The car soldiers faded out of history because the side of the car was too troublesome, and it was time-consuming, labor-intensive, cumbersome, and heavy, not because it was too weak.
