Story
Keiyou Campaign Arc
Coalition Invasion Arc
Battle of Kankoku Pass
Shin had the chance once during the 1st day of the Battle of Kankoku pass to lead around 10000 men of Duke Hyou's army to counter-attack the Man Goku Army incoming from behind.
Battle of Sai
After sensing that something was off with Ri Boku's disappearance, Duke Hyou took part of his army and moved to the southern pass of Bu. There, he encountered the Ri Boku Army and after a small battle Duke Hyou himself fought with Hou Ken but proved to be no match for the great general and fell.
From that point on, the Duke Hyou Army is considered officially defunct. Only 2000 remnants of the army escaped as the rest of the army made suicidal charges after being enraged by their master's death. The remnants who fled followed Shin along with the Hi Shin Unit, while being hunted by Zhao soldiers but managed to reach the city of Sai where they participated in the city's defense against the Zhao attackers. Those 2,000 soldiers were the only elites in the Sai Army and their object was to destroy the Zhao soldiers' footholds on the wall.
After the campaign, the majority of the survivors decided to go home, apart from 500 men, including Gaku Rai and Ga Ro, decided to join the Hi Shin Unit (though it was noted that they were jealous of Shin, due to their former leader's interest in him).

Strength
Duke Hyou Army's biggest advantage: The Charge
Duke Hyou is an instinctual general that often acts on a whim. His army is trained well to follow the constant change in orders and positioning that their general dictates.
Having spent a large portion of their lives posted ont he front line territories Duke Hyou's troops are miles ahead in strength compared to your average Qin soldier.
Also, Duke Hyou army members are specialized in charging enemy armies and breaking defenses, as their general usually tends to have the initiative in a battle.
According to Ga Ro, the Duke Hyou Army numbered about 10,000 men, before the majority were wiped out during suicidal charges after their master's death before the Battle of Sai.
Appearance
Unlike other army members, the duke's closest members wear spiked helmets.
