Prince of Qi Polearm Infantry

Azure Dragons

Azure Dragons share the strengths of long-ranged troops without suffering their major weakness.

Using uniquely-crafted composite bows, they loose a volley of arrows with the accuracy and strength of seasoned archers, while their gou lian dao polearms and heavy iron armour protects their flanks against enemy charges.

It is this skill with the bow, while being able to defend themselves in close combat, that makes them a fearsome and versatile threat to the enemy on the battlefield.
