In March 1974, terracotta warriors and qin shi huang horses were found in Lintong County, Shaanxi Province. The Terracotta Warriors are known as the Eighth Wonder of the World for their huge and realistic scale. Recently, some archaeologists have proposed a disturbing phenomenon. Many soldiers wore a linen scarf on their heads, officers wore leather hats, and many more wrapped their long hair around their heads to make sandwiches. Not only did they not wear helmets, but the armor they wore was also very simple, and fragments of the armor were kept to a minimum. The dummies in the main infantry stood on the crossbowmen in front, protecting their chests and backs, without even a single piece of armor. Why? Let's go into today's history and find out the secrets of it.
In the Terracotta Pit, there was a very special group of soldiers who fought with white blades, killing weapons, but not wearing armor at all. Throughout the Underground Legion, their image is very special. The researchers have a possible guess that there were some extremely dangerous missions in combat that essentially did not return. Under a heavy reward, these people, who did not consider life or death, stood up. These soldiers may have been a division of the firing squad. Let's take a look at these Qin soldiers who have no helmets and small armor. There seems to be only one reason to explain this reckless behavior. Their heavy helmets and armor prevented them from killing the enemy Golden Lord. In addition, Sima Qian recorded in historical records that the Qin army went into battle shirtless on the battlefield, and some simply took off their armor. The three rows of gunmen in front of the regiment were dressed in plain clothes with their hair combed upwards, but some infantrymen in armor braided their hair in braids. The edges of the hair are locked behind the head, and many infantrymen wear pointed round hats made of this linen cloth. Judging from their position and personality, the soldiers' clothing and hairstyles were caused not by differences in living habits, but by hierarchical signs.
The books chase the Olympics, and ballet soldiers in civilian clothes are likely to have first-class titles. Infantry wearing armor, braids, or round hats should be second-class knights. In this huge terracotta army, the characters represent the vast majority and constitute the main force of the Qin army. In these columns, the drivers with the reins in front of their arms all wore plate-shaped hats, their armor more elaborate than those of ordinary soldiers, and the prosthetic hand of the car was a jade hand. According to historical records, the title of JinyiWei was at least third rank or above. These were the most popular officers in the Qin army. Their right is to control the chariots. Only combat vehicles cannot form combat units.
These officers between Dewey Ngocshou and Dewey Ngochow also carried shells, but they belonged to Dan's shells. As for the internal organization of the Qin army, the secrets discovered by the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are only the tip of the iceberg, and more details are not yet clear. In the world's military history, the Qin army may be the first army to establish a relatively complete rank system, and its organization and management are very close to today's army.
