Spear Warriors
With spears thrust to the fore, these iron-clad warriors target armoured enemies.Spears are an effective defence against enemy cavalry, but can also be used offensively as well.
These infantry troops grip their qiang spears in both hands and put their weight behind the weapon to pierce armour and drive it through to the enemy inside.
Outfitted in partial iron armour, they are somewhat protected against enemy assaults, meaning they can concentrate on defeating their quarry.
