He needs to have a really really big mass of archers as the archers themselves do not do any bonus damage up against the Zhuge Nu. So you need a greater number of them to be able to oneshot there. Meanwhile, Zhuge Nu doing their full damage up against the archers.

It's one of the main reasons why they can trade out very efficiently and why some armor units at the front line are going to be needed. Kharash is great for giving that additional armor onto the entire army.

Zhuge Nu with their minimum of three damage are going to be able to take down the ram.

Zhuge Nu don't do that much damage baseline. They still have that minimum of three damage. The Muscovy Yasak doesn't really change the play there.

China, although they age up quick, they need a lot of officials before they can get anything done really. Any time that is bought is good for Golden Horde to get to castle age and get Muscovy Yasak going, because with that armor and Torguuds they just don't die.
