Description[]

TW3K Archers of Jing in-game

Archers of Jing firing on an enemy

It takes a very steady hand, supreme patience, and expert timing to land a shot as accurately as these bowmen.

Along with spearmen, archers form the spine of any army. With sufficient training and physical strength even the lowest peasant can learn to draw, aim and fire - accuracy is less important when one arrow becomes one hundred. These archers are far more than peasants, however; under the leadership of Sima Ai, they are better trained and better armoured. Additionally, they are armed with a dao, for should the melee come to them, they will be ready to defend themselves to the death!
