The Yo Tan Wa Army is the personal army led by Yo Tan Wa, the king and ruler of the Western mountains of Qin and fourth member of the Six Great Generals. It is a confederation of over one hundred different mountain tribes.
Yo Tan Wa and her army of 3000 warriors aided Ei Sei in his struggle to reclaim his throne after his brother's rebellion. After the rebellion, she went back to the mountains to wage war in a campaign against the other barbarian tribes, in order to unite everyone under her lead.
After many battles, Yo Tan Wa had managed to unite the mountain tribes up to the northern lands into one powerful faction. As the only enemies left were the northern horsemen tribes, the Yo Tan Wa army, numbering 80,000 strong members went to a campaign against the Xiongnu. However, when they arrived there, they found out that the enemy army numbering 100,000 had already been destroyed by a Zhao army.
The route of Yo Tan Wa Army, estimated time of arrival: 8 days.
During the Coalition Invasion, the Yo Tan Wa army was preoccupied with its great campaign against the large Kabanko faction to the north. However, when Sei requested their help once again, Yo Tan Wa decided to postpone her own battle and lead her army to the city of Sai.
The Yo Tan Wa Army of 30,000 warriors arrived at Sai on the 7th day of the siege. Their appearance surprised greatly the Ri Boku Army as they rushed through the western front with great speed. Fu Tei led his unit to confront them head-on, in an attempt to stop their rapid advance, but after slashing through some soldiers he struggled to reach their main forces.
Ri Boku was overwhelmed by this utterly unexpected development and was about to order a retreat, but it was then when great general Hou Ken entered the battle. Hou Ken slashed his way to where Yo Tan Wa was, but when she was about to face him, Shin asked her to leave this opponent to him.
Yo Tan Wa and her army alongside Shin and the Hi Shin Unit were tasked to capture the city of Retsubi, leading her forces through the defenders, taking casualties until the army, under Bajio took over the gates and let Hi Shin Unit finish off the defenders.
Before the Battle of Ryouyou, Yo Tan Wa was later tasked by Ou Sen to break off from the main Qin army and guard against the Ryouyou Army led by Zhao General Kou Son Ryuu. Her army had a little skirmish with the Ryouyou Army winning in an overwhelming fashion. Later Ou Sen sends Heki and his army along with 10 days' worth of food to help her defend against the Zhao forces. Later Shun Sui Ju appeared and tries to apply psychological warfare by killing tribesmen in front of Yo Tan Wa and her officers. He redraws the Zhao army to Ryouyou with the waiting Quanrong soldiers.
After days of fighting and the loss of their remaining food, Yo Ta Wa divides the army into three groups with the goal of taking the three brothers of Rozo heads, with Heki Army joining them. They fought against three brothers, inflicting victories on them, while getting heavy casualties. Enpo and his Enshu Tribe meanwhile were commanded to take Ryouyou on their own.
Members of the army are shirtless from the waist up or wear animal furs and feathers, while some others have colorful tattoos.
All members of the army wear full-face intimidating masks. Each mask representing their respective tribe which has sworn absolute allegiance to her as their king.
Abilities[]
Military Might[]
The warriors of the mountain tribes are rumored to be much stronger than an average soldier of the central plains. The hardships of the mountain life and the uncivilized way of living has helped them improve their physical strength, speed, and instincts to a level far more superior than those of the plains folk of the states. The absence of armor helps them move faster into the battlefield and their heightened senses are extremely useful during ambushes and guerrilla warfare.
