No 6. But the masters of the bow were the Parthians (Iran/Turkey 250 BCE), who devised what was call Parthians Tactics. One skill was the Parthian Shot - a Parthian Archer could swivel round one his saddle and continue shooting backwards against an enemy. This was effective in many ways, one was to ride through the enemy camp in the dark, then swivel round as you exited the camp and keep firing. The Partians also devised the same Wagon Circle tactic as the Lakota, which was extremely effective against the Roman tactic of forming shielded squares.The Parthians simply rode round and round the squares, and being mobile were hard to hit, but slowly reduced the squares until they broke and scattered.

Just stop it. Custer's 7th killed women and children before the Little Bighorn (Washita River). The My Lai massacre of mostly women and children by U.S. soldiers, Vietnam. A U.S. chopper pilot had to land and threaten to open fire on them to stop it. Baghdad, Iraq, tens of thousands of innocents killed. Lately, three U.S. missiles into a little girls school killing over sixty, Iran. Two men, still alive, clinging to the wreckage of their boat, struck by U.S. missiles, killed by the U.S. (the infamous "kill 'em all) Venezuela, a war crime. Maybe you could write about them?
