Attila would be invading the Northern Wei dynasty, ruled by Tuoba Xianbei who had themselves been steppe nomads. The Northern Wei armies had lots of experience fighting horse-archer armies, notably the Rouran khanate. Northern Wei armies inflicted major defeats on the Rouran in 424, 425, and 429 (in 424, the Rouran invaded the Wei, and the other two times it was the Wei who invaded the Rouran). Each time, both sides were using mainly light cavalry (i.e. horse-archers). So I think the Northern Wei would have a much easier time against the Huns than the Roman empire did.

Technically, the Hun's didn't really invade the Romans. it merely beat teh Goths which pushed them into Roman territory.

That was in the 370s. Attila did invade the Eastern Roman Empire in the 440s and the Western Roman Empire in the early 450s.

I think it would be better if you asked that question on this thread: http://www.chinahist...p?showtopic=812
