What armor did the Khitan warriors wear and what weapons did they use?

Armored soldiers are not the main arms among the Khitan warriors. They use light fur as their main combat clothing, with a small number of armored soldiers. Armor is mostly leather or iron. Among the weapons, spears are the most, followed by long knives, and machetes are not many. Machete is a masterpiece of Mongols.

The army of the Khitan (Liao State) is very different from other northern minorities. Historically, the northern nationalities were labeled as "people on horseback", with cavalry as the main arms. Although Qidan also attached great importance to cavalry, its proportion of infantry was very high, close to the Song Dynasty in the south. Cavalry mostly use bows and arrows and long knives as weapons, dressed in light fur, and the horses they ride are also lightly loaded. General can wear armor and helmet, but he also advocates simplicity and practicality. In infantry, chariots will wear heavy armor, with a certain proportion of bows and spears. Other infantry are short "half armor" or "armor", mostly leather armor, with spears as the main weapons and short knives. Soldiers with swords (that is, death squads with swords and shields) wear small armor to completely protect their chests and backs in leather armor, and the rest are cloth clothes. Qidan is the form closest to the Central Plains from arms to weapons and equipment. Influenced by the Han military strategists, they advocated formation and tactics, did not emphasize the individual role of individual soldiers, and abandoned the improvement of bulky personal protective gear and equipment, so the integrity was greatly strengthened. However, the Qidan army had a defect from the beginning, and their armed theory came from the Han people in the south. Therefore, many places are not suitable for the Qidan people in the north, especially the collective mode theory of "men are men", which greatly suppresses the strong fighting capacity and brave nature of the northerners, and meticulous collective discipline is just beyond the adaptability of the northerners' bold nature.
