Infantry of Jing
The infantry of Jing are charged by Liu Biao to guard the flanks against enemy missiles and brace their spears against cavalry charges.The most vulnerable parts of any army are its flanks; a surprise attack can easily decimate and panic the troops, causing a cascading effect which can break the hardest of hearts.
The Infantry of Jing protect the flanks by pre-empting charges and bracing their qiang spears at an angle, so only the bravest or most foolish cavalry dare charge them. This makes them a target for missile attacks, so they are outfitted in leather armour and carry large shields to protect themselves from the expected rain of arrows.
