[edit] caution

Our information about the Han-Xiongnu battles stems from Chinese sources. We should be careful in trusting one side over the other. --Ghirla^-трёп- 07:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

If you have so many questions, why don't you provide your source. Eiorgiomugini 07:43, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

What book do you quote from? If you cite it verbatim, then it may be classified as copyright violation. I don't see your point in reverting my good-natured attempts at rephrasing. The word "cattle" is never used in plural, by the way. --Ghirla^-трёп- 07:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

There are no Xiongnu sources They don't have a historical record. Simple as that. Everything we know about them comes from Chinese sources. -- 我♥中國 06:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Troop strength

IIRC (unless I've been watching too much TV) the only combat force the Han army used was 100k cavalry, but they had 3 horses each (so total 300k) and 100k infantry to supply them. Might want to change the strength part in the infobox a bit. -- 我♥中國 06:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
