Historical background
The crossbow was widespread in China from the Warring States period, with a finely made bronze trigger mechanism. The Han used crossbowmen in large numbers against the horsemen of the Xiongnu, since their weapon outranged and outpierced the horse bow. In the west the crossbow remained marginal in antiquity.
