Lü Bu Shock Cavalry

Xiliang Cavalry

Defeat the hearts and courage of your opponents and the lion's share of the battle is already won. Xiliang cavalry specialise in devastating charges against the enemy, and any troops that don’t fall to their horses and spears sustain grave wounds to their morale.

A fast charge into waiting enemy lines requires great courage, and these battle-hardened troops are almost impossible to route through fear alone.

Unit Abilities

• 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.
• Diamond
  The unit forms into a hard-edged diamond, good for both offence and defence but limiting manoeuvrability.
• Loose
  The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.
• Wedge
  The unit forms into a spear-tip, best for driving directly through enemy lines.

Attributes

• HIDE IN FOREST
  Can hide in forests.
• RAIDER
  Idle soldiers will burn down nearby buildings.

  Immune to scare effects.
