He Yi Yellow Turbans Melee Cavalry

Virtuous Noblemen

The Yellow Turban rebellion challenges the corruption that poisons China and has made many question old loyalties.

These noblemen have renounced their former warlords to seek justice and redemption. Their previous life of privilege has trained and equipped them well, and they ride into battle clad in ornate armour and helmets upon impressive mounts of the finest stock.

With axes ready and raised shields, the impact of their charge is merely a way to break the enemy’s lines for deadly close combat.

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.
