Han Dynasty Military Doctrines Tier 4
Barded Mounts
A cavalry charge alone is terrifying, but cavalry clad in armour?When the horse became a more reliable tool of warfare, the next question inevitably became "how can they be made even more deadly?" The answer came in the form of 'barding' - armour for horses.
This armour has the double benefit of protecting steeds whilst also increasing their mass and, accordingly, striking power. This increase in weight gives them more raw strength to slam into enemy ranks.
