Peasant Spearmen
Forsaking farming tools for sharpened bamboo stakes, these peasants are cheap, with low morale, but risk their lives to fight against oppression.Starving and garbed in rags, these peasants have low morale, no training and no armour. Still they volunteer for battle, gathered by the Yellow Turban rallying call that travelled word-of-mouth through the fields from peasant to peasant.
Bamboo usually harvested for the profit of exploitative landowners is sharpened into makeshift weapons, turning the products of oppression against the oppressors. Stakes are braced against the enemy cavalry that tower above as these spearmen pray that numbers will overwhelm stronger forces.
