If you have a crossbow bolt sticking out of your forearm, you cannot weild your sword or sheild effectively. If it hits your leg, calves, or feet, walking let alone fighting is difficult. If one of your men is hit like that, he is out of the fight. My point is that a crossbow bolt does not need to kill to take a legionaire out of the fight.

All that is good and well. I am merely pointing out the obvious that strong, determined individuals will fight with life threatening wounds. That heavy armor and shield mitigates the effect of missile fire, and that if not enough of the legionaires were dropped before contact, the light infantry force will have a serious fight at their hands.

They saw five-coloured banners flying from the Chanyu's fort, and several hundred men in armour defending its ramparts. More than a hundred cavalry rode back and forth in front of the fort, and more than a hundred infantry performed drills at its gates in fish-scale formation.

So it is suspected that there were Romans in a battle with the Chinese. That is an interesting hypothesis but what relevance is it going to bear on the issue? That about a centuria of Romans were defeated at a fortified camp by how many Chinese troops?

But there were also two wooden stockades outside the fort, from which the Xiongnu shot arrows at the Han attackers, killing or wounding many of them.

I do not see what are you getting at, and my guess is that you mean to illustrate how Xiongu darts can penetrate certain types of Chinese armor. That does not say how well Chinese darts perform would against Roman armor or how strong is Roman defenses in general. I can also tell you that the British Royal Armoury performed a series of experiments with reproduction medieval plate armor and contemporary projectile missiles, supervised by both experts in the field and scientists from Vickers. None of the projectiles, save for heavy crossbow at very close range, succeeded in punching through. That, however, does not answer the question: what is the power of Chinese crossbows against Roman armor + shield, especially the new thickened designs the Rommans allegedly adopted after Carhae?
Too many factors unaccounted for in this hypothetical senario for me to be convinced.
