Huo Qubing (Chinese: 霍去病 140 BC - 117 BC ) was a Chinese general of the Han Dynasty under Emperor Wu. He was very good at shooting with his bow on a horse. When he was 18, he was ordered to attack the Xiongnu with 800 cavalries. Finally, his troops killed about 2,000 enemies and kidnapped the imperial officials. In the spring of 121 BC, Emperor Wu ordered Huo Qubing invading the Xiongnu with 10,000 cavalries. He occupied 5 cities within 6 days and finally killed 8,000 enemies. In order to fairly eliminate the main force of the Xiongnu, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing led 100,000 cavalries and fought with the enemies in desert in the spring of 119 BC. Huo Qubing was died in Chang'an (present-day Xi'an), the capital of Han Dynasty, when he was 24.
