Lethal Armies in All of History

The history of warfare is a long and complicated one. It spans from the earliest of times to modern times, from as early as cave men using stone knives to defend themselves against other cave men, to the weaponized missiles launched by the first nuclear submarines. There is no way we could fit all of this in this article, so we decided to just focus on one aspect: The most lethal armies in all of history (at least according to their success rate when they enter battle). We are not talking about overall military power here, or even necessarily what might be considered 'superhuman' by our standards. We're talking about top ten lists based on sheer number of dead people (or monsters).

The Roman Army

The Roman Army was the first to use a solid mass of soldiers in organized units. The infantrymen were protected by a large shield, and their sword was longer than those of other armies. The Roman army had a large cavalry force that could charge into battle at full speed, making them one of the most feared armies in all of history.

The Roman Legion was an army consisting of around 5,000 men. They were divided into cohorts, which were usually between 300 and 1,000 men each. Each cohort consisted of six centuries (100 men). In addition to this, there was also a smaller unit known as the alae (pronounced al-uh), which consisted of around 200 men. These units would form up into larger formations when they marched out into battle.

The legionnaires would carry shields made from animal hides; these shields were quite heavy and difficult to carry off-handed or even with both hands tied behind your back. The legionnaires also carried spears or javelins that were about two meters long and tipped with iron points. These weapons were thrown at close range for maximum impact on enemy lines; however, if an enemy got too close then you could get stabbed by him before he died from his injuries!

The Soviet Army

The Soviet Army was the largest army in the world during the Cold War. The Red Army had a total of about 2.6 million active personnel, including around 1.3 million conscripts and 800,000 reservists. The rest of the Soviet military was made up of paramilitary organizations such as the Internal Troops and KGB, as well as other state security forces such as border guards, criminal police, and penal brigades.

The most lethal weapon in the Soviet arsenal was its T-34/85 tank. The T-34/85 was an upgraded version of the famous T-34 medium tank that entered service in 1940. It had better protection from enemy fire and more powerful guns than previous models. In addition to being a powerful fighting vehicle, it was also extremely reliable thanks to its cast turret armor and thick diesel engine cooling jacketing.

The T-34/85 weighed over 30 tons and could reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour on level ground without any problems whatsoever. It even had a backup diesel engine for power failure situations - which happened quite often during combat operations due to battle damage or mechanical breakdowns!

The main drawback with this awesome tank was its lack of radio equipment - so if you were caught out

The Mongol Army

The Mongols were a nomadic people who ruled over large swaths of Asia, Persia and parts of Europe. The Mongols conquered most of the lands that they ruled with an iron fist. They are credited with being the most powerful military force in history up to that point.

The Mongol Army's main weapon was the horse archer, which was known as "Horse Archers" or Mongolians. They were trained to shoot arrows from horseback with deadly accuracy. The Mongols could effectively use their horses as mobile artillery pieces, using them to attack enemy positions or escape danger when needed.

The Mongolian cavalry also had a very effective weapon called a "turtle boat". This boat was designed specifically for carrying supplies on long distance raids or naval warfare. It had two masts that could be used for sailing or fighting (both of which were common uses). The turtle boat was fast and maneuverable enough to keep up with fast moving Genghis Khan's army.
