Halberds Shatter the City, Iron Formations Crumble; Blood Butcher Tramples the Frontier

Dai Commandery's border troops were tasked with defending against the Xiongnu, who often relied on mounted raiders in battle. As a result, the border troops were indeed highly skilled at fighting cavalry.

The Zhao State's Hu Blade Wind Cavalry had been born from that expertise.

They were thoroughly versed in tactics for fighting cavalry, but these Qin troops had no idea how skilled the Zhao State's forces were at it.
