"A magyarok nyilaitól ments meg, Uram, minket!”
“Lord save us from the arrows of Hungarians”
“A sagittis Hungarorum libera nos, Domine!”
“The Magyars’ art of war was agility, speed, fast movement throughout the terrains. Their armies were well-organized and the men were well trained and disciplined. And their soldiers were to have respect, modesty, honor, and loyalty. The Magyars used many tools of war to defeat there foes, their most characteristic weapon was the quick-firing reflex bow, which they fired accurately while mounted on their horses, even while galloping. They also carried sabers and spontoons, but the reflex bow was the most favoured weapon. When the Magyars met the Swiss Army, and as they released a storm of arrows that darkened the sun, someone said, “Save us, o Lord, from the arrows of the Hungarians.” And soon after, the rest of Europe adopted that saying, due to the fact the Magyars were tactful and deadly with their bows and arrows. The Magyars valued ranged fighting – their charges were usually preceded by a volley of arrows, and when in hand-to-hand combat, they were tough, quick, and fierce. The majority of their troops were trained and fought on horseback, and had use of Infantry to support Cavalrymen. And during the sieges, the Magyars were fast and quick to mount the walls, and they developed small but precises siege weapons.” – wikipedia
