Xianbei Horse Archers
The Xianbei were infamous, feared for their lightning-fast attacks and ceaseless harassment of their foes.The Xianbei are a nomadic people who spent much of their history in thrall to more powerful nomads, such as the Xiongnu. They raided imperial lands as the Han dynasty weakened, but were eventually curtailed by the cunning Cao Cao.
Well-trained in the versatility and speed of cavalry strikes, these horse archers are a tactical boon to any commander, who can use them to constantly harass enemies with arrow fire, without much fear of repercussion.
