Gong Du Yellow Turbans Melee Infantry

People's Warband

Merchants have long been branded a ‘necessary evil’ by hypocritical warlords, who themselves line their pockets by abusing their power and exploiting the peasant classes.

Though better off than the poor and starving peasants, concerned merchants and craftsmen have formed a group to fight back against tyranny.

Each carry dual sabres and armour pieces looted from the city armouries of rich warlords, and though untrained, their numbers and commitment to the cause make them effective infantry on the field.

Unit Abilities

• Caltrops
  Simple nut husks, once trodden upon, cause extreme pain and slow movement.

  The unit forms into a tight circle, presenting a defensive front from any angle.
• Loose
