Let us not speak of the Zhao state.
All the cavalry in Qin combined likely number no more than eighty thousand, and that includes those stationed at the Northern Frontier.
Zhao should have somewhat more, but the difference is slight.
And the frontier army, serving as Zhao's main force against the Xiongnu, also relies upon cavalry warfare.
Only seventy thousand cavalry are garrisoned in Dai Territory.
This time, it is impossible that all of these cavalry have come.
Maintaining a cavalry unit is no easy task; the resources required far exceed those for infantry, especially warhorses.
In this era, without the three treasures for cavalry warfare, warhorses generally must retire after a few years, completely lacking the endurance of those equipped with the three treasures.
"Thirty thousand cavalry—this number is truly terrifying," Wang Ben sighed.
