How were chariots arranged? What role did they play in the battles?

The chariot had two spoked wheels. On the axis between the wheels, a platform is fortified, where two people stood – a charioteer and a chariot fighter. The platform was attached to a long stick – a drawbar, for which two horses carried the chariot. The entire chariot, including the wheels and spokes, was made of sturdy wood. On the landing, leather-covered sides were divided to protect the legs of both warriors. The chariot was decorated with metal plaques, and multicolored ostrich feathers fluttered on the horses’ heads. Chariot squads could travel long distances and suddenly attack the enemy.
