Liang Military Doctrines Tier 3

Shock Warfare

A horse can be a steadfast companion, but without proper equipment, an unreliable friend in battle. Why risk defeat, when the chariot is stronger and more effective?

That was the case until the development of the stirrup, which has allowed horseback warfare to become more dependable and, vitally, powerful. This, combined with the burgeoning trade in horses, makes shock cavalry a viable and, when used correctly, explosive tool in a warlord's arsenal.
