The crossbow was originally an ancient shooting weapon. In your article, the crossbow was used as the official name. During the Warring States Period, all countries used strong bows and crossbows as their main weapon of war. In the battle of Maling in the Qi and Wei Dynasties, Qi General Sun Bin ambushed his troops at Maling Road, led by crossbow archers, and launched ten thousand crossbows at the same time, which made the Wei army suffer a devastating blow. Pang Juan, the great general of the State of Wei, committed suicide and the Qi army won a great victory. This is the earliest record of the large-scale use of crossbow soldiers in ancient Chinese wars. “The Book of the Han Dynasty · Geography Records” contains a note of “the crossbow officer” in Nanjun, the department of the history of Jingzhou. You are the official of Zhao State in charge of the crossbow soldiers in Yuping area during the Warring States Period.
