Orphan date February 2009 Merge Azap date March 2010 The Asappes , or Asappi , were an military order order of soldiers in the Ottoman Army who were exposed to the first shock of their enemies. This tactic was used to fatigue the enemies and blunt their swords, allowing the Sipahi s and Janissary Janissaries to push forward and easily conquer the enemy. The Assapes were held of so little value, that they frequently served as bridges for the cavalry to pass over in poor roads, and as fascine s to fill up the ditches in besieged areas. They traveled on foot, and were not paid, except for what they could plunder from the enemy. The word is derived from the Turkish language Turkish Saph , which signifies rank, file, order whence they formed Asphaph , to range in battle.
