Gong Du Yellow Turbans Melee Infantry

Scholar-warriors

A soldier’s will must be as sure as their combat skills, or they will flee at the first threat of defeat.

These scholars have spent as much time studying the sacred texts of the Tao as improving their swordsmanship with sabres; their knowledge of the Tao is complete, leaving no room for doubt.

Without a weakness in their philosophy for the enemy to exploit, they cannot be routed. Their fighting prowess, devoutness and resplendent ornate robes inspire courage among their allies on the field.
