Liang Melee Infantry

Qiang Warriors

When the need arises, a general should have no qualms about recruiting non-standard forces to aid in battle. The Qiang, a collection of tribal peoples from beyond the borders, are fierce warriors with unconventional fighting styles.

Armed with dual axes or a heavy mace, Qiang warriors waste no time getting right into the centre of a melee, bludgeoning and dismembering with abandon and little regard for their own safety or lives.
