Prince of Chengdu Ranged Cavalry

Qiang Hunters

The demands of a nomadic existence have given these Qiang hunters stamina and archery skills; their fine horn bows are made with long siyahs to increase and sustain the velocity of their shots, while their accuracy has been honed hunting animals in the wild.

If fighting enemy infantry, their leather armour may put them at a disadvantage in regards to protection, but the gou lian dao polearms they carry are long enough to be excellent at warding and counter-attacking enemy horses.
