Description[]

Clad in full armour, these elite cavalry troops deflect arrows with their shields as they bear down on their enemies. Cao Cao’s Tiger and Leopard elite cavalry are the very best, and are equipped accordingly. Holding a qiang spear in one hand with a round shield in the other, they target enemies armed with long-range weapons. Though their full iron armour slows the speed of their mounts, along with their shields it provides robust protection from arrows and other projectiles as they close in on their prey. The extra weight of their armour adds a bone-crunching impact to their already devastating charges.
