These are fantastic, Cheng!

From what I read, the tiger warriors assembled ahead of the imperial army and put on a show (beating shields and drums) to intimidate the opposing enemy.  Armies from southeast Asia, intimidated by the reputation of the imperial army frequently routed before the battle even began.

The tactic didn't work so well against Europeans...
