Question

why is there a picture of a sheild when so many books and sites say that the army didnt use them? Wasn't their vigilance and bravery considered enough?

Mr.History · Answer

Didn't use shields? What type of inadequate history books were you reading?All Qin melee soldiers that weren't carrying two handed weapons carried a shield.Armies during the time period relied extensively on composite bows and armor piercing crossbows. Having an army without shields is suicide - it's basically inviting the enemy to shoot at them with arrows.
