文本
There is only one way to treat weakness and that is to exploit it. There is only one way for Chin to survive. And that is through conquer.

All 10,000 Zhao prisoners will be executed. And Ying Zheng defines his quest for empire, bloody, utterly ruthless and totally dependent on the army. For 2000 years, no one had any idea what that army was really like, but now it can be seen frozen in time. For Jeffery Riegel, this is an opportunity to answer his first great question about the emperor's meteoric rise to power. Militarily, how did he do it?

Joining Riegel is Dr. Yuan who has devoted his entire career to understanding these mysterious figures and the military power of the first emperor. To date, they have unearthed over 7,500 individual warriors. In all respects, except living flesh and blood, these were real soldiers.

The people who made these figures and arranged, and arranged them were following real military procedures. So this really represents what the Chin army looked like. This gives us an idea of Chin military formation and the way in which the Chin army was actually put into the field.

The big surprise was that the front three lines were highly mobile infantry. It appears these were the emperor's sharp troops. Behind them came the heavy infantry who in turn were supported by columns of chariots, and sweeping up behind - a fast moving cavalry. But it's not just the procession of the army's formation that has astonished the researchers. It's the weapons they carried.
