Describe the Assyrian army (what kind of troops were, what equipment, what weapons, what kind of army was).

In ancient times, the Assyrian army was one of the most powerful, which allowed Assyria to conquer such large territories. So the Assyrian army was divided into cavalry, infantry and engineering troops. In addition, there was a fleet. The cavalry was divided into light and heavy, and chariots were also present here. The infantry was also divided into light and heavy, including archers and javelin throwers. The engineering troops were battering guns and their servants, whose main task was to storm the fortresses. Assyrian warriors armed themselves with axes, spears, swords, bows and arrows. For protection, they had shields, helmets, leather armor, and so on.
