Gong Du Yellow Turbans Ranged Cavalry

Horseback Huntsmen

The homemade fur tunics, caps and leather armour of these huntsmen are the proof that they are used to tracking and finding prey and chasing it down on horseback if it tries to flee.

Now they target enemy soldiers, but the technique is much the same; single out a kill, aim and let the arrow fly, then run them to ground.

However, these mounted huntsmen are not used to their game fighting back, and if they are forced to fight the enemy in close sword combat, they will be at a disadvantage.

Unit Abilities

  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.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Guerrilla deployment
  These units have the advantage of being able to deploy behind enemy lines to strike at unexpecting targets.
