The founder of Shu, Liu Bei, battled in many places throughout China, and the Short-range infantry of Shu became a major pillar of the empire. This army had absorbed the styles of troops from many parts of China, such as Xuzhou, JIngzhou, Nanzhong, and Bashu. The result was an army boasting excellent capabilities in defense and middle-range offense. In the Game of Empire, the short-range infantry of Shu can create a small amount of casualties from distance before the battle begins properly.
Cross-bows were regular weapons of the Shu army. As a particular branch of the Cross-bow corps, the cross-bow cavalry is extremely capable in mobility as its soldiers ride on horses. In wars against foreign forces, this cavalry unit is mainly responsible for ambushing enemies at close range with their formidable shooting abilities and fair short range battle abilities.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Prime Minister of Shu, Zhu Ge Liang, put great emphasis on developing the crossbow force for the Shu army. He led Shu ministers to develop all sorts of crossbows to fulfill battlefield requirements. The heavy crossbowmen not only had excellent defensive abilities but also possessed outstanding long-range shooting accuracy.
