Description[]

TW3K Warriors of Ye in-game

In-game

Selected by Yuan Shao, the Warriors of Ye are protected by iron armour and use their polearms to pierce heavy cavalry's armour.

To guard against a cavalry charge, use the horse’s momentum and weight against them; brace long polearms at an angle and await the charge so the horses pierce themselves on the waiting defences. A ji polearm has an angled blade attached to the top and a spear added to the tip, making it a versatile weapon for hooking and dismounting cavalry or slashing at riders. While these troops brace themselves against cavalry charges, their own hides are protected by iron armour.
