Mounted Sabre Militia
These mounted troops hunt down skirmishers; protecting against missiles with shields and using zhibeidao swords to chop at the enemy.Militia are raised for emergency defence, and have less weapon training than warriors destined for the battlefield. Therefore, they are armed with zhibeidao swords, reliable, straight-bladed weapons that are easily mastered and used from horseback to swipe and slice at the enemy below.
As militia, they lack expensive or heavy armour, having only partial-leather, and are instead equipped with cheap, but durable rattan shields made from flexible rattan vines.
