From the crossbow riding trained after the Zhao Wuling King Hufu rode and shot, to the Mongolian iron horse of Genghis Khan to the Guanning iron horse with excellent firearms under Yuan Chonghuan in the late Ming Dynasty, the cavalry in the cold weapon era has always been an incomprehensible existence, just as the nemesis of the tank is a better tank, and the nemesis of the cavalry is only a more elite cavalry.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao trained elite tiger and leopard riders by saving up money through the practice of touching gold and fighting. With this strong cavalry unit, Cao Cao defeated various princes. Whenever the war is tight, as long as the tiger and leopard riding are sent to the field, they can often defeat the enemy and win, so Cao Cao is quite confident in his tiger and leopard riding, and once thought that the tiger and leopard riding the world is invincible, until he met Ma Chao's Western Liang Iron Horse.

Cavalry crossbows, Xi Liangbing is recognized for being good at riding and shooting, and Pound once shot Guan Yu with a bow and arrow. Although the crossbow machine takes a longer loading time, it has a longer range and is more conducive to immediate use. The Western Liang Army had hired craftsmen to manufacture a large number of standard bows and crossbows, with a range of up to 600 steps, and the arrows were mostly quenched with cattle and sheep feces and other filth, and with barbs, which not only had great lethality, but also caused secondary injuries when pulled out, and were easy to cause wound infection.
The lock armor was introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions and was first equipped by the Western Liang Army. Made of wire or iron ring buckle, it can resist ordinary bow and arrow shooting and infantry slashing, except for blunt objects to strike damage or puncture with the impact of horses, otherwise it is difficult to hurt the cavalry wearing lock armor, which is a nightmare for infantry
