Prince of Qi Shock Cavalry

Lance Cavalry

These cavalry target not only the bodies of their enemies, but their morale as well. Crouched low on their mounts, ji polearms clutched tightly under their arms, they charge hard and fast into enemies with the aim of striking fear and forcing them to rout from the battlefield.

Once a charge is completed, they can ride out of range of retaliation and prepare for their next assault. Their iron armour provides some protection in close combat, but they remain vulnerable in sustained encounters and to missile attack.

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.

Attributes

• HIDE IN FOREST
  Can hide in forests.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Role: flanking
  Fast, agile and devastating - flanking units can turn the tide of battle with a well-timed charge or by routing enemy missile units.
• Weak against missile attacks
  This unit is unshielded and therefore has little defence against missile attacks.
