Sabre Militia
Assault infantry armed with zhibeidao swords to break enemy spear lines.Straight-bladed zhibeidao swords are cheap and easily mastered, making them the perfect weapon for militia. As little training is needed, these troops can be quickly recruited, armed and sent out to battle.
Their lack of heavy armour leaves them vulnerable to cavalry, but provides some defence against archers. Their main use is to assault less mobile enemies, particularly spearmen, to open up the lines for a cavalry charge.
