Gong Du Yellow Turbans Shock Cavalry

White Wave Horsemen

These rebels arrive from the White Wave Valley ready to continue their war against tyrannical warlords. Fearlessly charging their horses at enemy lines, they thrust spears forward while keeping their shields pressed close to their bodies.

Once engaged, they can stay to press the advantage, but fare better if they withdraw quickly to safety and prepare another charge. Years of resistance have also taught them the art of stealth, enabling them to deploy behind enemy lines prior to a battle.

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.
