Likewise a stand of Roman auxilla die hard in face of an arrow storm, these pointy things seem awfully dangerous (see below):


The Roman cavalry facing the Chinese Right Flank line out, but err into the range (24cm) of the Chinese massed bow (see below):


They too fall victim of "the arrow storm from the east" (see below):


The omens are looking good for the Chinese, can their luck hold when the fighting becomes up close and more personal?
