Nomad LC may be ethnic Hsiung-nu, conquered tribes assimmilated into the Hsiung-nu, or allies such as the Wu-Sun.

The Wu-Sun were reputed to be very hard chargers. Some authors attribute Hsiung-nu military success to the Wu-Sun's ferocity in combat.Chinese sources report metal armor for the horses of some of the Wu-Sun.

Mao-dun trained his bodyguard to fiercely follow any and every order to the letter by ordering them to shoot and kill anything that he ordered on pain of immedate death starting with his serfs, followed by his horses, followed by his wives, and ending with his father, the Dhan-yu or tribal leader. Mao-dun then assumed leadership of the tribe after the tragic death of his father.
