No. 3 pit is located on the north side of the west end of No. 1 pit, opposite to No. 2 pit, 25 meters away from No. 1 pit in the south, 120 meters away from No. 2 pit in the east, with an area of about 520 square meters, the whole is concave-shaped, composed of the north and south wings and the carriage room, there is a horse chariot and four terracotta warriors and horses in the carriage room, and 68 terracotta warriors and horses can be unearthed in the No. 3 pit.

Judging from the internal layout of Pit No. 3, it should be the headquarters of Pit No. 1 and No. 2. In the wars before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the commanding generals often had to take the lead and charge into battle, so they often had to be in front of the soldiers. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the increase in the scale of warfare and the change of combat methods, the position of the commander began to move to the Chinese army.

The war of the Qin Dynasty separated the command headquarters from the Chinese army, which was a great step forward in the development of military tactics. The command headquarters independently studied and formulated a strict combat plan, and more importantly, the personal safety of the commanding officers was further guaranteed. This is an important sign of the maturity of the development of ancient military tactics.

"How many types of terracotta warriors are there?" Fusu just stood in front of the No. 1 pit and didn't see it all, so he raised his head and asked Sun Qian curiously, he wanted to know if it was the same as the living Great Qin army array.

"Back to Your Majesty, the terracotta warriors and horses are distinguished from their identities, and there are mainly two categories of soldiers and military officials, and military officials are different from low-level, intermediate, and high-level. Ordinary soldiers do not wear crowns, while military officials wear crowns, and the crowns of ordinary military officers are not the same as those of generals, and even the armor is different. Among them, the terracotta warriors include infantry, cavalry, and chariots. According to the needs of actual combat, the samurai equipment of different arms is different.

The most of the figurine pits are samurai figurines, most of them hold bronze weapons, including bows, crossbows, arrowheads, beryllium, spears, ge, swords, scimitars and axels, wearing fine armor, and there are knots made of colored threads on their chests. The military officials wore long crowns on their heads, and there were more of them than the generals. The figurines all differ in their face shape, figure, expression, eyebrows, eyes, and age.

Soldiers, that is, soldiers on chariots other than drivers and drivers. Generally, there are two sergeants on the chariot, the left figurine and the right figurine. The left figurine of the car wears a long shirt, armor on the outside, shin guards, a middle curtain on the head, and holds a spear, a ge, halberd and other long weapons in the left hand, and the right hand is in the shape of a car. The costume of the right figurine is the same as that of the left figurine, but the posture is reversed. They are all the main forces of tank combat.

The weapons held by the standing figurines are bows and crossbows, which together with the kneeling figurines form a crossbow formation. The standing figurines are located on the formation table, dressed in light battle robes, tied in a bun, tied with leather belts at the waist, and pedaled square mouth and pointed shoes, light and flexible clothing. This posture is just like the "Wu Yue Chunqiu" recorded in the "way of shooting, the left foot is vertical, the right foot is horizontal, the left hand is like a branch, the right hand is holding a child, this is the way to hold a crossbow." ”

The kneeling figurines are the same as the standing figurines, and the weapons they hold are bows and crossbows, and together with the standing figurines, they form a crossbow formation. The standing figurines are located on the table of the formation, while the kneeling figurines are located in the center of the formation. The kneeling figurines are wearing battle robes, wearing armor, holding a bun on the left side of the head, holding a head with their feet on the square mouth, squatting with their left legs, landing on their right knees, turning their upper bodies slightly to the left, and holding a bow with both hands on the right side of their bodies, showing a single soldier training action with a bow.

Samurai figurines are ordinary soldiers with an average height of about 1.8 meters. As the main body of the military formation, it has the largest number and can be divided into two categories according to the suit, namely the warrior in battle clothes and the samurai in armor. They are distributed throughout the army as the main combat force. Most of the warrior figurines in battle robes are distributed on the formation table, which is flexible and mobile; Armored warrior figurines are distributed in the array. Both types of samurai are armed with actual combat weapons, with a high-spirited temperament and movement in silence.

The military figurines are lower than the general figurines in terms of status, and there are intermediate and subordinate levels. The number is the smallest, and it is divided into two categories: the warriors in battle robes and the generals in armor. From the appearance of the armored general figurines, they wear double or single long crowns, and there are several different forms of armor.

The warriors in battle robes are dressed plainly, but the chest is decorated with knots, while the chest, back and shoulders of the armored generals are decorated with a total of eight colorful knots, which are gorgeous and elegant, setting off their rank, status, and majesty in the army. In addition to the difference between the military figurines and the generals' figurines in clothing, there are also slight differences in spiritual bearing.

The figure of the military figurines is generally not as plump and burly as the general figurines, but they are relatively tall on the whole, with broad shoulders, standing tall and solemn. It shows more of their diligent thinking, brave and capable side, and some miss their hometown.

The cavalry figurines were only buried in the No. 1 and No. 2 pits, with 116 pieces, which were mostly used for wartime surprise attacks. Due to the special class of troops, the attire of cavalry is obviously different from that of infantry and chariots. They wore round caps, tight-sleeved blouses with the right side of the collar hidden over their chests, tight trousers underneath, boots on their feet, short, small armor, no shawls on their shoulders, and no armor on their hands. The clothes are short and light, leading a horse in one hand and a bow in the other.

The chariot is a charioteer, wearing a long shirt, wearing armor, arm armor and wrists, hand armor, shin guards, neck armor around the neck, a scarf and a long crown on the head, and both arms raised in front of the driving posture of pulling the bridle.

In front of each chariot in the terracotta pit, there are four pottery horses.

The size of the pottery horse is similar to that of a real horse, with a length of about 2.10 meters and a height of 1.72 meters. The shape of the four horses is basically the same, all of them cut their manes and bound tails, raise their necks and raise their heads, and open their mouths to neigh. The two horses in the middle are shrugged forward with their ears and their eyes looking forward; The necks of the horses on both sides are slightly twisted outward, eager to go, and they are extremely powerful.

They are based on real horses, and the main characteristics of the horses are a small head, a short neck, and a broad head, which belongs to the Hequ (present-day Taohe River in Gansu) horse breed.

The pommel horse is only buried in the No. 2 figurine pit, which is 1.72 meters high at the head and 1.33 meters high at the top of the bun.

The pottery horse is not big, the head is heavier, the nasal bone is protruding, the neck thickness is slightly shorter, the hair is low, the back is wide and slightly concave, the **** is wide, the limbs are well developed, and it belongs to the horse type with both strength and speed, and it is also a good horse to ride. ”

Sun Gan introduced it in detail and in detail, and listened to Fusu so drowsy that he hit Hache.

Sun Qian was extremely speechless when he saw this, it was you who asked Lao Tzu to introduce him, and now what Lao Tzu is saying here is spitting and his mouth is dry, you are good, you actually want to sleep!

"Father, Emperor, Emperor!" Xiao Yingqian tugged at the corner of Fu Su's clothes cutely and shouted, "Lord Sun Qian is angry!" ”

I'll go, little ghost, don't pit Lao Tzu, Hearing the idiotic words of the eldest son, Sun Qian was half frightened to death, and quickly knelt on the ground: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

"Eh, Sun Qian, I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy, I can't help it, don't mind." Fu Su woke up and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty is ashamed of the ministers, you have every opportunity on weekdays, and you are extremely tired of reviewing and handling serious things for the country and the people, and you should be sleepy in your spare time." Sun Qian is talking nonsense seriously, in fact, he is saying in his heart: The special twists and turns have made the cabinet deal with you, you are tired, I have never seen such a lazy emperor, I have time to study hard with you Lao Tzu.
