Warring States period, the Central Plains between vassal state battle over, the war to the fierce, cruel, and the northern nomads gradually rise, and when neighboring countries are fighting the Central Plains. In such a chaotic situation in there today, according to Hebei, Shanxi Province, Zhao parts, both around and Qin, Wei, and several other powers bordering the Central Plains, and Lin Hu and the northern nomads, the Huns and other adjacent, although he is also a big country, but much harassment, suffering, destruction of the State may at any time. In this time of crisis, 325 BC, Zhao Yong came to the throne, this is the history of the famous King Wuling of Zhao, he good governance, commitment to reform. Over the years according to Zhao Lin Hu and the Central Plains States and the experience of war and other nomadic peoples, Wu ling WANG found that the Central Plains of the army infantry and chariots mainly Kuanpao heavily armored, slow, weak spot, but the ability to adhere more strong, while the nomads are the cavalry-based army, and its tight-fitting clothing Brisk, come and go like the wind, with strong attack power, so 307 BC, he started "Hu Fu riding and shooting," the reform of the armed forces nomadic cavalry tactics used to wear to facilitate agile Hu Fu, extensive use of cavalry assault, coupled with chariots and infantry, so that it can attack to defend, attack, such as a sword, to keep as a rock.
