Description[]

TW3K Defenders of Hebei in-game

In-game

Heavily-armoured infantry that hold the main battle line with polearms from Yuan Shao’s personal armoury.

When facing a powerful cavalry charge, these heavily-armoured troops plant their feet firmly, brace their ji polearms, and wait for the impact of enemy horses impaling themselves on the spear-tips. Once the momentum of the cavalry is spent, these warriors' iron armour protects them from the ensuing melee, and the curved blade and spear-tip of their polearms are used to pierce, hack and slash at the enemy, or used as a hook to catch and drag them from their mounts.
