Xianbei Riders
Light, manoeuvrable cavalry can create chaos and confusion in the enemy ranks and, ultimately, victory.The Xianbei are a nomadic people who spent much of their history in thrall to more powerful nomads, such as the Xiongnu. They raided across imperial lands as the Han dynasty weakened, but were eventually curtailed by the cunning Cao Cao.
Clad in leather armour and armed with ji polearms, these riders are highly mobile, excelling at striking enemy flanks, impaling foes upon their spears or crushing them beneath their horse's hooves.
