White Horse Raiders
Hand-picked by Gongsun Zan, these elite cavalry archers ride white horses and harass enemies while remaining out of reach.Only the most exceptional troops are given the honour of riding the purest of white horses; if the mounts' appearance are not enough to strike fear into their targets’ superstitious hearts, then the riders’ accuracy with their long siyah bows will surely intimidate.
The horses are trained to ignore the din of battle, so their riders can harass enemies with arrows or attack with zhibeidao swords, without fear their horses will panic and bolt.
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.
