Ji Infantry
Infantry armed with polearms to pierce the armour of heavy cavalry, while their armour protects them against enemy missiles.To guard against a cavalry charge use the horse’s momentum and weight against them; brace long polearms at an angle and await the charge so the horses pierce themselves on the waiting defences.
A ji polearm has an angled blade attached to the top and a spear added to the tip, making it a versatile weapon for hooking and dismounting cavalry or slashing at riders.
While these troops brace themselves against cavalry charges, their own hides are protected by iron armour.
Unit Abilities
-
Caltrops
Simple nut husks, once trodden upon, cause extreme pain and slow movement. -
Miasma
The dense and tough undergrowth that plagues the jungles of the South is a hindrance to all those who try to penetrate into the heartlands of the Nanman. -
Hollowed Square
The unit forms into a hollow square, presenting spears and pikes to any attacker - particularly cavalry - on all four sides. -
Loose
The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them. -
Spear Wall
The unit presents a wall of spear-points to the enemy - a strong formation that allows the unit to advance slowly but safely whilst defending against charges.
