I've already given the standard units of the Xinese military (In the from of the three armies and basic units within those) now for the special units in the Xinese military some are rather large formations while others are smaller more focused specialists.

First the Yingyan archers:

The Yingyan archers are a very special unit in the Xinese military one made up of two types of people the children of elvish nobles and captured tauredian children. They are trained to be the finest archers that Xin has to offer and are used for assassination missions (Cause you know Elven accuracy is rather absurd) they tend to wear earth tones with red face paint (Normally around the eyes) the mark of the Yingyan is the head ban they wear which has a simple red triangle upon it facing downwards

Xiongu:

Named after the people who first formed these units. Xiongu are simply mercenary, auxiliary, or military formations from clinet states. They are armed in all sorts of weapons and armor but normally take the from of light cavalry or light infantry. Xin has a large number of Xiongu bands that form up a reserve for the Imperial army. They look like the common Infantry man when it comes to armor.

Jiandie:

Jiandie aren't purely military as some Jiandie (Ninja) clans are honor bound to other clans and provide body guards for nobles and such but some are honor bound to the state alone. They are the spies, Saboteurs, and guerilla warfare experts of the Xinese military.
