Towards the end of the 6th Century AD
the Sui Dynasty managed to re-unite China after several hundred years
of turmoil. Their reign was short lived however, its fall being mainly
brought about by a disasterous invasion of Korea. The Tang Dynasty which
followed saw the Chinese empire at its greatest extent, its early rulers
vying with the Turks, Tibetans and Arabs for control of the lucrative
silk trade routes through central Asia. Tang armies places great reliance
on their mounted troops now they had access to larger horses bred on state
stud farms. They also employed the composite crossbow to a great extent,
in some armies of the period every trooper and footman was so equiped.
The Tang domination of Central Asia was shattered by their defeat at the
Battle of Talas in 751 AD by a combined Arab/Turkic army
