+        Although many ancient civilizations constructed crossbows, the Chinese were the ones who used them extensively. In the Han dynasty, crossbows were mass-produced and a widely-used weapon, especially among militias. The use of crossbows proved to be an important advantage in battle for the Han, most notably in the wars against the Xiognu, a nomadic horse people. The crossbow was a truly revolutionary weapon for several reasons.
+        Firstly, crossbows were very easy to use. It took years, if not an entire lifetime, to master the bow. On the other hand, even people who had never held a crossbow before could, with as little as a couple of days, learn to use it. Aiming, for example, was very easy; Han crossbows even had a scale built in, indicating how high to aim to hit the target at a specific distance. The low effort needed to train a good crossbowman was especially advantageous because the Han's armies largely consisted of militia. When war broke out and the Han dynasty could easily raise an army of thousands of peasants equipped with crossbows, each was as dangerous as any archer after years-long training.
+        Secondly, crossbows were drawn differently than bows. It was placed on the ground, and the bowman squatted down, grabbed the bowstring with his hands, and pulled it upwards. Because this movement utilizes arm, back, and leg muscles, more force gets exerted than through the motion of drawing a bow. This meant the crossbow could be tensed higher and fire arrows at a higher speed compared to bows. In fact, according to experiments, a Han crossbow required almost double the pulling force of a typical bow used by the Xiognu. But it also launched the arrow at 20 percent higher speed, up to 50 percent greater distance, and with a higher penetrating power. An arrow hitting its target caused dangerous, if not lethal, damage, even through the Xiognu's typical leather armor. In this regard, the Han crossbow was far superior to the Xiognu's bows.
+        However, the crossbow had a major drawback, and that was its reloading time. A bow could shoot arrows many times faster than any crossbow. Crossbows were too slow to actually stop cavalry charges. To compensate, Han crossbowmen shot alternately to keep a continuous hail of arrows. And, because of the way the crossbows were cocked, those with this high level of required pull force were exclusive to infantry.

+    <History>
+        Han Xin grew up in bitter poverty. He was so poor, in fact, that he constantly struggled to get enough food to survive, often having to rely on others. For that, he was despised by his town's residents. Very early in his life, he even lost his mother and didn't have the financial means to properly bury her. So, when rebellions broke out throughout the empire, Han Xin saw his chance and joined the rebel leader Xiang Yu.
+        Xiang Yu was a warlord renown for his bravery and considered the greatest warrior of his time. Together with his elite soldiers, he was regarded as almost invincible, even having defeated armies twenty times the size of his own.
+        It's said that Han Xin often made tactical suggestions to higher officers, but his advice was not taken seriously and often ignored. So, after Xiang Yu had defeated the Qin dynasty and split China into eighteen kingdoms, Han Xin decided to move over to the kingdom of Han under Liu Bang. Maybe because Liu Bang came, unlike other warlords, from destitute backgrounds as well. However, it didn't work out for him there either: for a small crime, he was put in jail and barely escaped execution. Only when he was about to desert again and find his luck somewhere else did some of Liu Bang's advisors, who appeared to be very impressed by the young soldier, gave him a chance and led him to Liu Bang himself. Han Xin was then, surprisingly, appointed chief commander of Liu Bang's armies.
+        And Han Xin didn't have to wait long to prove himself. As conflicts arose between several kingdoms, he took the chance. Han Xin sent soldiers to rebuild the Gallery Roads, the passage to other kingdoms, as a distraction. He simultaneously led an army to attack the neighboring kingdom. This plan worked. And Liu Bang's advisors weren't mistaken: Han Xin managed to defeat kingdom after kingdom even though his troops were often outnumbered and very inexperienced. And victories were often due to his well-thought-out plans. A good example is the Battle of Jingxing in 205 BC, where he made clever use of the terrain and applied psychological tricks to decisively win with a small militia army outnumbered seven to one.
+        After having conquered the entirety of Western and Northern China, even Xiang Yu, for whom Han Xin had fought some years before, was impressed and, at the same time, alarmed by Han Xin's success. He offered Han Xin to let him have  Northern China if, in return, he joined him in his fight against Liu Bang. Han Xin, however, declined and stayed with Liu Bang.
+        He marched southwards to assist Liu Bang, who had fought unsuccessfully against Xiang Yu. Quite the opposite, actually; despite his greater forces, Liu Bang had suffered heavy defeats against Xiang Yu and his war veterans. Han Xin, though, didn't make the mistake of believing he was in an advantageous position because of his army's greater numbers. He instead carried out small ambushes on Xiang Yu's army, which was exhausted from the long conflict. And at the Battle of Gaixia in 202 BC, he led Xiang Yu into a canyon and, in combination with more psychological tricks, eventually defeated the thought-to-be invincible Xiang Yu. Following this victory, Liu Bang founded the Han dynasty, and Han Xin was celebrated as a hero.
+        Unfortunately, his story doesn't have a good ending, as only a few years later, Liu Bang started to fear Han Xin's brilliance and influence, accused him of rebellion, and assassinated him.
+        But Han Xin's legacy stayed. While Xiang Yu might have known how to win battles, Han Xin knew how to win wars, proving the importance of strategy over pure fighting skill. In his entire career as a general, Han Xin never lost a battle, helped found the longest-lasting dynasty in Chinese history, and entered history books as the single greatest general of his era.

+      Liu Bang was born and raised a peasant during the waning years of the Qin dynasty. He was known for being a rebellious yet charismatic child, often getting in trouble with the law. Despite his rebellious nature, he made friends with several officials in the government. They in turn appointed him to be the local sheriff.
+      One day, Liu Bang was ordered to escort a group of prisoners to help build the First Emporer's mausoleum. On the way, a prisoner escaped. If Liu Bang arrived a man short, he would be executed. And if he arrived late, having spent time to recapture the man, he would also be killed. So instead, Liu Bang let all the prisoners free and started a revolt.
+      Over the next few years of fight, Liu Bang became a successful general. However, it was Xiang Yu, the rebel leader, who ultimately defeated the Qin dynasty. Xiang Yu split China's land into eighteen kingdoms and instated nobles, or his generals, as rulers. Liu Bang received the land of Han.
+      However, this arrangement proved unstable. War broke out between the kingdoms, and Liu Bang conquered several others of his rivals. Despite numerical superiority, however, Liu Bang suffered heavy defeats against Xiang Yu.
+      It wasn't until Liu Bang allied with other states, did he manage to defeat Xiang Yu in the Battle of Gaixia. Xiang Yu took his own life, and Liu Bang had united China, founding the Han dynasty in 202 BC. Liu Bang appointed himself the first emperor, the Emperor Gaozu of Han.
+      Liu Bang kept many elements from the Qin dynasty. However, he did not forget his upbringing in the peasantry. He implemented policies lowering taxes on peasants, which strengthened rural agriculture and restored the war-impaired economy. He also reduced the severity of punishments from the Qin dynasty. This made Liu Bang very popular, especially among commoners. Inspired by a Confucianist teacher and philosopher, Liu Bang introduced Confucianism as the state ideology, in contrast to the legalistic approach present in the Qin dynasty.
+      Although Liu Bang died of illness in 195 BC, the dynasty he had founded would go on to (with a short interruption) become the longest-lasting and one of the most prosperous in Chinese history.
