The Armament of the Yuán Dynasty Soldier

The following are, in BRP terms, the typical weapons and armour of Yuán dynasty soldiers. It must be noted that, on top of the types below, the Yuán could muster all kinds of allies (steppe nomads, Koreans) and auxiliaries (southern tribesmen).

The majority of regular soldiers are Chinese. Mongols provide the élite heavy cavalry. Some others are used as mounted light troops to quell rebellions in warmer or more mountainous areas.
