The armored warriors in land battles mainly resembled the Song army's foot soldier armor because many armor plates they wore were sourced from Tokyo's armory.
In reality, they were things of the same kind.
The Zha Armor they wore weighed over sixty pounds, and its defense was not inferior to the Varangian Guard, who wore multiple layers of chain armor, only slightly lesser than the full body plate armor of the Imperial Knights, though it was far more cumbersome.
Yet, no armor, no matter how solid, could withstand the charge of a lance.
More and more cavalry, led by Jeanne, pierced through the dragon steeds' barricade, thrusting the lance into their chests.
The lances long broken were replaced with wolf fang clubs, flails, and other weapons, using the warhorses' high-speed momentum, often killing these aggressive armored warriors in a single blow.
