Shows the relation to the Terracotta Warriors to Qin's army
The Qin Dynasty was able to defeat many of their rivalries due to their advanced weapons which were buried with the models of the Terracotta Warriors. The ones that were found were crossbow triggers, sword blades, lance tips, spearheads, dagger-axe blades and halberds, and a few ceremonial weapons. Each weapon would be found in a different pit within the tomb complex and they would reflect previous Qin battle formations and military strategies. The crossbow easily went through armor killing the enemy. Qin had the most advance weaponry during this time allowing the dynasty to easily conquer all the Warring States.
