It is very reasonable for the northern barbarians to have standard weapons and armor from the Daxia army.
After all, the northern barbarians have been fighting with Daxia for many years, and both sides have won and lost and have a lot of spoils. Daxia usually does not use the weapons and armor of the northern barbarians because theirs are not strong and sharp enough.
If the northern barbarians captured weapons from Daxia, they would usually collect them, repair them, and use them in the next war.
It is normal to see familiar weapons on each other's battlefields, but it is problematic when the same weapons of Daxia are possessed on a large scale, in batches, and in an organized manner, and there are no signs of repairs on them.
The matter was of great importance, so I did not report it directly.
Instead, I investigated secretly, and I didn't even dare tell anyone else about the investigation. I just did it by myself.
I didn't get much of a clue.
On the contrary, I gained a lot on the other side.
Because I secretly broke through to the Grandmaster level, my reconnaissance capabilities have been greatly enhanced and my strength is extremely high.
In addition to defending, he often broke into the north to hunt barbarians, which greatly improved his strength.
With this strength, I often travel back and forth between the border and the north.
He is very familiar with the terrain of the north outside the border.
When the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, I will walk outside the border to survey the terrain. In the past, it was quite difficult to obtain the terrain outside the border, as well as the corresponding landforms, tribes, and living conditions, and it often resulted in the loss of investigators.
The most elite scouts in the entire army were responsible for scouting the enemy, and seven or eight out of ten of them died.
If I go to investigate but don't go too deep, I will basically not die by relying on the ability of the Dragon and Tiger External Pill to hide my breath. After all, after killing repeatedly, especially selecting some people with deep obsessions, I have reached the middle stage of Grandmaster, which is the eighth level of Marrow Cleansing and Blood Transfusion.
Thanks to my familiarity with the terrain and the living conditions of the relevant tribes, I won victory after victory in the next three years.
Because of his great contributions and the connections he had established before, his position was promoted to the rank of Buqudu, and he was able to lead 5,000 people in battle.
However, I gradually reached a bottleneck and it became difficult to move up a career ladder.
As far as I know, if you are born into a commoner family, even if you are trained in a martial arts academy, the ceiling of your career is basically the General of the Central Army, and it is impossible to go any further.
Unless he can accomplish earth-shaking feats in a great battle at the border.
Although the northern barbarians have always been brutal, they are quite prudent when they move south every year. They are able to bypass the main forces at the border and enter the border from some marginal angles.
Moreover, they moved very quickly, never stopping and never attacking. If they failed to capture any strong fortress, they would immediately turn around and go to other areas to plunder local craftsmen, as well as corresponding food, furs and the like.
When they encountered a small group of troops, they would choose to confront the large group of troops head-on. In order to hurry on their way, they would abandon all the looted supplies and people without hesitation.
Over the years, the barbarians had many opportunities to capture small troops when they went south into the pass, but there were basically no opportunities to capture large troops.
The northern barbarians themselves are divided into countless small tribes. When they go south to plunder, although they have unified orders, they are basically not compulsory and they will not gather too many troops together.
Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the northern barbarians were regarded as major enemies. They were defeated many times, but the northern lands were also once occupied by the barbarians.
Over the years, we have learned a lot about the northern Manchus. There are countless small tribes in the north, but when one of the large tribes rises, it will unify the scattered northern barbarians, giving the northern Manchus enormous power.
Daxia has been quite experienced in dealing with them over the years. Once a large tribe of barbarians appears in the north and the north shows a tendency to unite, Daxia will go out at all costs and send troops to sweep it away and interrupt this trend.
Only at this time will there be a chance to truly become the king and defeat the enemy.
In peacetime, that is, nowadays, most of the northern barbarians move south.
But the overall war epidemic was not big. I once killed more than a thousand northern barbarians outside the Great Wall, which was already a huge achievement.
In other words, at this pace, I probably won't be able to improve very much.
I feel dissatisfied with myself, but in fact, it is amazing that I have been able to improve myself to such a level within eight years.
He is a legend among many children from poor families, well, children from poor families.
After all, the son of the general who was in charge of all the troops on the border was the General of the Central Army when he first reported on his position.
A legend among humble backgrounds, the end of his life is just the beginning of his life.
Even now, after eight years of fighting and beheading over ten thousand people at the border, I have not reached his starting point.
He is my boss's boss, and I am nominally under his jurisdiction.
Recently, there have been rumors in the army that he seems to be promoted to a higher position and is about to become a general.
Well, I am his subordinate after all, and I have made many contributions over the years. Of course, the credit for a subordinate's achievements is due to the good leadership of his superior.
There are many rumors in the army that I am the trusted and beloved general of the young master, but in fact, I have never even met that General of the Household. It really makes people speechless.
Someone has hinted to me that I should visit this young master in the army with gifts.
As long as I can visit that young master and show him my loyalty, my ceiling will naturally be broken.
I was a little hesitant, not because I was hesitant about whether to visit the young master, but because many people hinted to me.
At times like this, there was no distinction between the Southern and Northern factions, and people from both sides hinted at me.
I felt something was wrong, but I still took the initiative to go.
Then, the young master of the army easily promoted me by two positions, skipping the Sima of other departments and directly making me a captain.
At the same time, the young master of the army also assigned me my first task after my promotion, which was to transport a batch of logistical supplies to a troop at the border to replace the equipment of the brother troops.
I knew there was a problem because the brother unit was outside the border and on a wide flat ground.
Outside the border, since the northern barbarians have mounts and move very quickly, they will never choose a large plain to set up camp.
Perhaps the young master thought I was not familiar with the terrain, so he assigned this task to me. I knew there was something wrong, but I did not refuse because I felt that I was getting closer and closer to the biggest secret of the border.
After receiving the logistical supplies, I quietly checked them.
It was discovered that in addition to the food and cotton clothes used to conceal their identities, there were also a large number of military equipment, weapons, armor, crossbows and arrows hidden inside.
I knew the situation was not good, but after my morale was boosted, the more than 2,000 people who followed me to transport supplies were not my original subordinates.
I suppressed the thoughts churning in my mind and set off with my troops.
I knew this was a road of no return, and I had roughly confirmed my guess, but I still wanted to confirm it.
