What was the most brutal military tactic in history?

The tactic which most horrified me when I learned of it is this. Roman legionaries famously wore ‘Caligae’, open sandals shod with hobnails and fought in close-order formations (called cohorts). When fighting an enemy and winning the entire formation would advance, simultaneously treading down the wounded enemy lying on the ground with their hobnail sandals. Potentially that might mean several dozen men stamping on your face. Pretty brutal.
