Although I have checked out a lot of terrain and tribal conditions, I dare not explore the deeper conditions in the land of white mountains and black waters.
Even though they have been in extreme decline, the northern barbarians still have martial saints.
Moreover, they also believe in unique totems, and their great wizards have abilities that are not inferior to those of martial saints.
Some of the unique tools left over from their peak period are extremely lethal to Martial Saints, so I don’t dare to go too deep into them.
When I went deep inside many times, I felt like a light on my back. My spirit and my will told me that if I continued to go deeper, I would die.
I thought I would return without success, but in my third year of wasting time in the land of white mountains and black waters, I discovered something strange.
In the land of white mountains and black waters, there is a powerful tribe that is rising quietly.
All their weapons and equipment are only available to Daxia's elite army, and the way they train their troops is neat and orderly, and their military management is even stricter than that of Daxia's border troops.
Known for their cavalry and fast movements, they even specially trained heavy armored infantry.
Their training methods and methods are exactly the same as Daxia's. We can't say they are similar, we can only say they are exactly the same. They are copied completely. If Daxia saw it, they would have to pay royalties.
When I saw all this, I felt uneasy.
I had searched the land of white mountains and black waters for nearly three years without finding any trace, but now they suddenly appeared, and they were all gathered together.
According to their past actions, they are heading south.
And this time the trip south was more intense than any other time.
There were so many elite troops, and I even saw craftsmen accompanying the army among the troops. Those craftsmen were all from Daxia.
Even in such a poor environment, the craftsman seemed to be living a good life and had a rosy complexion. Although his skin was rough, it was caused by the wind and frost in the north.
Overall, looking at their appearance and body shape, those living in the Northland are quite capable.
When I saw this, I knew something was going to happen, something big was going to happen.
The northern barbarians have been able to compete with Daxia for many years, and they are definitely not useless. They have been going south for many years, plundering people, weapons, and many craftsmen.
I'm not afraid of being scolded harshly, but they treat the craftsmen so carefully that their soldiers' skins even have traces of frostbite, while the craftsmen are covered in fine monster fur, with no trace of wind and frost.
not see.
This is going to cause a big problem.
Daxia did not value craftsmen, and many of them were commoners. Even the families of extremely skilled craftsmen did not have much wealth, just food and clothing.
However, if the barbarians in the north are still willing to save money and give excellent treatment to the craftsmen in a land with poor mountains and rivers, then there will be a problem.
Judging from the weapons and armor they wore, they were no less than the elite troops of Daxia.
Although the overall number is not large, it is terrifying enough.
I followed this army from a distance and did not dare to get too close.
But they also can't figure out why they dare to take the big picture when they are not yet powerful. Under normal circumstances, they still need to be convinced. It will take years or even decades to accumulate enough to be able to fight against the border troops.
I don't agree with what the Border Master is doing. He deceives the imperial court and defrauds the imperial court's support. He actively conducts transactions with the barbarians to support the bandits. However, he has great advantages in running the army.
.
The barbarians who have been going south all year round are often swept away by him, and even if they invade in large numbers, they will be easily defeated by him.
His rhetoric about making deals with the barbarians didn't convince me, but he did convince many people in the military because he had raided and beaten the barbarians many times.
Whenever the barbarians were about to die, he would give them another breath of relief.
In this regard, we can only say that he deceived his superiors, concealed his superiors, and was corrupt, but he was still a very capable general.
Under normal circumstances, only when the northern barbarians are crazy will they expose their cards in advance and attack the border.
Then I discovered that the northern barbarians were not crazy.
Their army marched straight in, and the previously extremely powerful border army was like a piece of scattered sand.
The command was chaotic, the formations were loose, and the soldiers were all like headless flies.
The individual soldiers indeed fought bravely, but they had no one to command them, and they collapsed under the attack of the northern barbarian elite.
In my extremely shocked and incomprehensible eyes, the border gate exploded.
This is simply a massacre. There is a world of difference between an organized army and an unorganized army.
I gathered a large number of remnant soldiers to fight against the northern barbarians again.
But the border has been broken, and the northern barbarians have left with a large number of supplies and craftsmen. Although I have won several great victories, it is still a huge failure.
From the beginning to the end, the master of the border did not appear.
I later learned from the soldiers that the master of the border was dead.
Half a year ago, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to inspect this place.
The master of the border pass came and went in a hurry many times on the pretext of being busy with the military. The imperial envoy thought that he was contemptuous of the imperial court, so he pulled out the sword above and beheaded the master of the border pass.
Subsequently, the faction to which the Border Master belonged lost power on a large scale. Within half a year, a large number of people died, and many people were killed.
I knew very well that this was probably a settlement of accounts by the imperial court. After the news about me spread, I conducted related investigations for two and a half years, and then wiped out all the characters from the Border Lord faction.
"Is it just that this imperial envoy has no brains at all?"
"The general guarding the border can be beheaded at will. To kill him, there must be at least one person who can replace him, and this must be done after this person has taken control of the border soldiers."
"grass!"
…
Zhang Mingtu felt inexplicably angry when he saw this, feeling that what the imperial court had done was outrageous.
When there were wars at the border every year, the master of the border was suddenly killed.
Moreover, they also wiped out all the characters from the Border Lord's faction, but no one came to take over in advance, resulting in chaos at the Border and excessive command.
That's fine if it's a time of peace, but doing something like this in a time of war is simply self-destruction.
…
I heard that it was done for civil servants, but I didn't even have the heart to complain about it.
A group of people with the most commanding and combat capabilities were all killed, and this was done at a time when there might be an emergency military situation at the border. This was completely self-inflicted.
I finally understood why it was necessary to set up a martial arts academy to balance the liberal arts academy. There is no doubt that this was the work of a civil servant.
The arsenals of the border gates were all emptied by the northern barbarians. It is unknown how much finance, gold and silver they plundered in this wave. The most important thing is that the most elite group of craftsmen in the border gates were also completely plundered.
The border soldiers suffered heavy casualties, with 30% of the soldiers dying in this war.
It was not that they were not brave enough, but they lost their coordination and command, fought independently, and became chaotic. They were divided and disintegrated by the northern barbarians and defeated one by one.
