What was the slashing tactic the Arabs used in battle?

(In the Battle of Tours) Because of the Arab's sword shape, they would only try to slash at their enemies. The Arab sword was curved while the Frank's swords were straight and heavy. The Arab sword was easier to wield but the Frank sword would be able to pierce and you could hit people with it and it would break bones. So to answer your question directly, the slashing tactic was to just run in and slash their enemy's in battle, pretty much just swinging your sword around.


What is some important information about the Civil War?

Ulysses S. Grant (not his given name at birth) was a military hero for the North. Abraham Lincoln was president of the US at the time. A Northern general named Sherman very effectively utilized the "Slash and Burn" technique, laying Atlanta to waste on his infamous "March to the Sea" campaign.

What were the Confederate Strategies during the civil war?

Two strategies of the Confederates, or the South, were to be defensive unless the Union, or the North, gave the opportunity to attack and advance. Another tactic the South used was guerrilla warfare. The same tactics used in more modern wars was used by the South. The South knew that a head on confrontation would be disastrous, so the easiest thing to do would be hit targets and run, constantly harassing the Northern Troops and provoking them into a trap. While these two strategies are not the only two, the above strategies tended to work more often then not, that is until General Pickett and his charge at the Battle of Gettysburg. The preference for offensive battle tactics early in the war was another strategy.

The tactic of slash and burn is to have troops invade an area vital to an enemy force, say a farm that produces food for that army, and steal all you can carry and destroy or burn the rest to deny the enemy production. It is extremely effective on production and moral of enemy soldiers to attack their home and destroy vital assets.
