Pit No.2-the Pit with the Most Kinds of Military Terracotta Figures

 

The L-shaped pit consists of four different mixed military forces of infantry, cavalry, archer and charioteer with over 900 terracotta figures and 350 pottery horses together with about 90 wooden chariots.

The four arrays are closely connected to constitute a complete battle formation and can be divided up to act independently, capable of attacking and defending and of self-protection and quick response. This reflects the unique military strategy of Chinese ancient army array.
