Historical saddle
When Huo Qubing took his cavalry thousands of miles north, the Han army was not equipped with saddles and stirrups. Historically, we generally say that saddles and stirrups were invented in the Western Han Dynasty. However, it is a universally acknowledged fact that the invention of the lamp originated in China. Here, some people may suggest that the lantern was not invented when Huo Qubing traveled thousands of miles north, so the fighting capacity of cavalry is limited. Far less than the infantry, so why go to Huo Qubing cavalry combat capability is so strong, even can beat the huns?

The result of Huo Qubing's northward advance with cavalry reserves of thousands of miles is the result of relying entirely on the cavalry regiment's own ability. There were no saddles and stirrups, after all, there was no invention at that time. The so-called lantern is a pair of pedals hung on both sides of the saddle for the rider to step on, and can also assist the riding gear to get up and down. Lanterns can make riding easier and it is easier to adjust your center of gravity to maintain balance. Riding horses connects people with horses, and at the same time, they can dance swords and arrows on Mercedes-Benz horses, which improves the combat effectiveness of cavalry.

We said that Huo Qubing used cavalry to drive thousands of miles north, and your cavalry's fighting capacity in generate was particularly fierce, which was entirely from its own strength. It was Huo Qubing who led the cavalry to confront the Xiongnu. Xiongnu's momentum was particularly strong, but the cavalry led by Huo Qubing was not intimidated by their momentum. This war is very tragic. Although the Xiongnu suffered heavy casualties, the Han army also suffered heavy casualties.

Huo Qubing's cavalry, with Huo Qubing's resourcefulness, made progress despite difficulties and were brave after being ashamed. They didn't lose their motivation because they were fewer than the Huns. On the contrary, they resisted the fierce momentum of the enemy's counterattack with their fearless spirit of death and determination to fight to the end. In the end, we get more with less resources. Towards the victory of this battle.
