Zhang Jue Melee Cavalry

Messengers of Heaven

The warriors of the Yellow Turban cause have deep roots drawn from all corners of the land. Their styles, therefore, may be unconventional, but their determination and belief is beyond doubt.

Those entrusted with delivering the message of the cause ride to battle with a sword in each hand and no armour. This might be a display that some would call crazed, but to see the whirlwind of destruction they wreak upon the battlefield, none can help but be impressed and intimidated.

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.
