    I believe each horsearcher has in between 25 and 50 arrows max.

    He probably did a combination of taking advantage of the fort's towers(the arrows), and charging wavering units with his heavy bodyguard cavalry.

    Probably took a long time...

    You know, it's said that 3 Xiongnu eagle hunters once annihilated a group of 20-30 Chinese horsemen.

    Now it can be said that 1 Saka family member's bodyguard can annihilate 1900 Bactrians!

    Seriously though, how the hell did you do that?

    Yeah, I guess he did something like that. Maybe he even played arcade battles (thnx for the correction), which gives infinite ammo IIRC?
