How Chariots Help in Battle

Chariots were the most helpful weapons in Battle in ancient Egypt. They were used to break down enemy lines. Chariots where pulled by two horses. Army men stood in the chariots and shoot arrows and threw spears. Army men would put spikes on the wheels of the chariots so if someone got close their legs would get cut off. If i was in one of these battles, I would stay clear of chariots because I want to keep both of my legs. The metal pole connecting the chariot with the horses weren't very sturdy. So for the enemies, that is were you want to try to hit with your sword. If you broke that bar then the chariot would not move because the horses would not be connected to the chariot. If that happened, there really wouldn't be any point of a chariot.
