Best Answer

The Assyrians were feared for their military strength and cruelty. They used horses and iron weapons during war. The Assyrians are also credited for developing siege. They would camp around a city and attack it repeatedly, until the city collapsed. Assyrians used battering rams, which would drive poles on wheels through city walls. They even built movable towers and climbed over the walls to attack the city within. They forced entire populations to leave conquered areas. In this way, Assyrians expanded their territory as far west as modern Egypt.
