They had a couple of factors that were similar that allowed them to have military supremacy.
1. A superior military strategy when entering warfare. (an army that moved as one)
2. A superior force in pure numbers of soldiers.
3. More money to support their warfare than the enemies that they faced.
4. Superior weaponry made with superior metals and woods.

The closest they had in common was likely siege warfare. The armies were not organized the same, not were equipment and tactics similar. Of course, you might count the fact that both were highly civilised and relied on organisation, strategy and discipline to overcome foes who were often "barbaric"... though, of course, it never truly worked, as can be seen that Rome eventually fell to Germanic foes, and that 2 out of the last 3 dynasties to rule China were founded by savages from beyond the Great Wall.

That's easy-Battlefield Engineering. Both civilizations invented and used SEIGE weapons. Catapults, Towers, Bolt Throwers and such.

One other negative thing they had in common; the concept of cavalry eluded them.
