Since the founding of Han Empire, for 60 years its boarder was subject to invasion and slaughter by the Xiongnu, a Federation of skillful steppe horseman that raid the border town at will. After years of internal warfare, Han State was weak and population is thin and tired.
For over 60 years, a policy of appeasement by sending money, silk, valuable goods and royal princess for marriage did only maintain a fragile and unstable peace.
When the 16 year old Emperor Wu ascend the throne in 141 BC, the Han Empire was ready put this to a stop. With the production of advance weaponry and the active breeding of sturdy war horses introduced from central asia know as the "Heavenly Horse", the Empire finally strike back. The war between the Han Empire and the Xiongnu Federation last several decades with the total defeat of the Xiongnu. The Han Empire secure the trading corridor to Central Asia now known as the Silk Road. From that point onward, the world history and Chinese history change with the exchange of goods, culture and knowledge.
One of the advanced weapon that play an important part in the Han Xiongnu war is the long and powerful Calvary Han Dao. At almost 4 feet in length and weight only 680g, yield by a warrior on a galloping Heavenly Horse, this powerful weapon can often kill in one strike.
It was recorded in official history, that one Han soldier armed with this advanced Han Dao, could overcome 5 opponents.
