The Wei Wuzu (魏武卒) were an elite unit from the State of Wei established by the famous general Wu Qi during the Warring States Period(475 BC-221 BC) of China. At that time, the Wei State and Qin State were constantly fighting for the Hexi region, the gateway to Guanzhong. After Wu Qi became the general of Wei State, he established this elite armored unit to improve the quality of the army.
