The soldier is actually based on descriptions in the history of that era. It is said that the professional heavy infantry of the state of Wei (not the Three Kingdoms Wei) wore what they described as the three layered armor complete with bronze pieces and plates.
Each individual soldier in this group was granted a plot of land and could retire without fear of taxation. It probably bankrupted the state.
