What I mean by the title is that, each state have their own unique way of fighting, hence military specialty.
For example, Zhao has the fastest horses in China which makes them have the fastest cavalry, and Wei has the best chariots/cavalry in China. Etc. These two are the confirmed military specialty exclusive to their states, no other nations have this.
Well 3 if you counted Han as Han has the best politics management hence why they lasted so long. I know politics and military aren't related to each other but they're mutually supported each other, one can't exist without the other, so that's why I considered politics as Han's military "specialty" if that makes sense to y'all.
But what about other states? What's Qin, Yan, Chu, and Qi's specialty?
My guess:
Qin - I think the safest assumption would be the Qin's 6 Great Generals' privilege to wage war. That alone is a huge privilege in itself and why 6GG system was established in the first place. To be able to wage war without reporting to HQ everytime is an efficient and effective way of warfare. No other nations has this so I assume that this is Qin's military specialty.
Yan - Since Yan is surrounded by mountains, I'm assuming that Yan's specialty would be mountainfolk. Hell, their number 1 general, Ordo is the King of Mountains there, he's basically the Yotanwa of Yan. So their military specialty would be mountain style warfare if I have to guess.
Chu - Chu is the most mysterious state in the series, not many know much about them despite them being the biggest state in China, the superstate of Chu. But in terms of military specialty, I have a few guesses:
1. The Chu steel. I can't find the exact panel but I remembered when Kyou'En was aiming at Ousen back in Sanyou, Ousen's men blocked the arrow with the shields from Chu, saying something like, "He even pierced Chu steels?" or something like that along those lines.
So I'm guessing that in terms of weapons/iron manufacture, Chu might have the best forgery/blacksmith in China? I mean Chu is big af so they wouldn't have trouble finding iron mines at all.
2. The giants troops? Kanmei's elites are all Giants until they get obliterated by Moubu back in Coalition War so yeah, but perhaps the gigantic size troops would be Chu's military specialty? Just cuz they got smashed by Moubu doesn't mean they're weaksauce. So Chu's giant troops might prove troublesome for other states.
Then lastly Qi - Qi is also an unknown nation, not much is shown about them, but from what we know about them, their king, Ouken is obsessed with money, that he's willing to help out Qin during Western Zhao Invasion arc by transporting seafood via Yellow River. And Qi's East coast is Pacific Ocean, hence why they have seafood in the first place.
So I'mma guess that their military specialty is running on economics/capitalism? Since Ouken is pretty much Ryofui if he was a king after all. Maybe Qi is the richest country in China, or that their military has the best naval militia since Qi's East coast is surrounded by sea. I would love it if once we get to Qi's campaign, we would have naval battles, we don't get much of those in the series anyway. So that would be cool.
Thoughts?
