Peasant Light Spearmen

 are one of the military units in the game Oriental Empires.
 * With their short spears and light shields these soldiers can huddle together to defend themselves.
 * They are nimble enough to operate in difficult terrain. Their basic equipment means they are easy to train and equip.
 * Disbanding units of this type in friendly territory allows them to swiftly re-enter village life, saving you money and making their conscription easy should they again be necessary, though they seem to forget everything they've learned in combat each time they return to civilian life.
