Wei Polearm Infantry

Qingzhou Halberds

These halberds, and the warriors they belong to, have fought many sides in these wars; now, they fight for yet another. Cao Cao's merciful bargain drew the remnant rebels into his fold, and so he consumed their lost purpose with his own.

They fight now for his ambition, though without his same zeal and fervour: they will fight, and they will break. But every so often their fire will once more burst forth, and consume all before them in the inferno.

Unit Abilities

• Misplaced Devotion
  The Qingzhou warriors place their devotion in their new lord, Cao Cao, fighting to the bitter end.
• Loose
  The unit spreads apart, making it more difficult for arrows to hit them.
