Abstract

The Tang Dynasty (618-907) was one of the most powerful dynasties in the history of China. This thesis would try to research one of the most important forces of its army— infantry, helping us find out the reason why the infantry of the Tang Dynasty could become powerful and keep its combat effectiveness until the end of the Tang Dynasty. During the whole 289 years, the wars between the Tang Dynasty and the neighbouring countries never stop, making the Tang army keep developing. After the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763), the Tang army especially its mounted troops started to go downhill. However, the infantrymen still performed well in the next wars. They let the Tang Dynasty avoid being destroyed by foreigners. Finally, the Tang Dynasty was terminated by its generals. In this process, these generals had a series of fierce battles. In these battles, infantry also acted as an important role.
