Peasant Band
Leaving behind the fields to swell the ranks, these peasants are armed with long spears to defend against cavalry charges.These peasants have heard the call of war, abandoning their fields and crops for the battlefield and farming tools for long qiang spears. Their role on the battlefield is the thankless but vital one of remaining in line with their spears braced at an angle to fight off charges from mounted troops.
Their spears are strong enough to pierce the armour of heavy cavalry, but being considered expendable, these peasants lack armour themselves and will be cut down quickly in close combat.
