It's obvious that the Han army worked overnight to repair the trees; the gaps in the trees are still fresh.
"Your Majesty, I have launched three rounds of attacks, all to no avail! The enemy's crossbows are powerful, with a range twice that of ours, making it impossible for us to get close!"
King Jian pointed to the pile of human and horse corpses that looked like hedgehogs not far away, his face full of grievance.
It wasn't that he didn't try; it was just that the opponent's equipment was much better than theirs.
Their arrows had bone arrowheads, and they wore leather armor.
And indeed, they were wearing dark chainmail, and their arrowheads were made of iron.
The leather armor of the Xiongnu cavalry was like paper in front of the iron arrowheads.

This time, even if all five hundred of them die, we will still step over their corpses to break through this defensive line.
The battle ignited instantly!
