Zhang Liang Melee Infantry

Peasant Volunteers

The Yellow Turban cause does not discriminate between the rich and poor, the noble and the peasant - all that matters is the desire to see the corrupt government overthrown and the people liberated from oppression.

Armed with rakes, shovels and whatever can be found at short notice, these peasants cannot be relied upon to be effective in combat, or to hold their nerve against more experienced troops, but let none doubt their desire or their belief - it belief such as this that will bring ultimate victory.
