The Black Mountain bandits are the name of the largest horse thief active in the Western Regions by the outside world. They call themselves the Black Mountain Knights, and they are composed of more than 700 people. In this Western Regions, they are already a very powerful force. They not only plunder the caravans that come and go, but also often attack all nearby residences, whether they are Turks or Han people.

The Black Mountain bandits are one of the largest group of horse thieves outside the Yumen Pass in Suoyang City of the Tang Dynasty, but this is definitely not the only one.

On the land of all sizes in the Western Regions, there are at least dozens of horse thieves. Many of these horse thieves are people from some Turkic tribes, or to be precise, they are horse thieves when they ride on horses and go out. When they return to the tribe and get off the horse, they are ordinary Turkic people.

Borm could be said to be one of the horse thieves before, but Borm rarely robbed caravans and others. He often served some Turkic nobles and some wealthy families in the Western Regions.

Although the communication in this era is very backward, the circulation of information is also very fast among the group of horse thieves. Recently, it can be said that all horse thieves in the Western Regions have received a news that near Yumen Pass and Yang Pass in the Han Dynasty, a team of Han people who were originally wanted by the Tang Dynasty got a treasure map. The treasure map marked the treasure map of the most prosperous ancient country in the Western Regions, the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom.

This news can be said to have caused violent fluctuations in the group of horse thieves. The ancient kingdom of Jingjue was a legendary name in Huo Gang's previous life, but in this era, the capital of Jingjue Ancient Kingdom is still there, and it is now called Nirang City. Although Nirang City was once the capital of Jingjue Ancient Kingdom, the ancient kingdom of Jingjue had already destroyed it.

This city is now within the jurisdiction of the Western Turks, but there is definitely no treasure in Niran City that once had the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom.

Legend has it that during the Western Han Dynasty, Jingjue Kingdom was extremely prosperous because of the prosperity of the Silk Road. It was a place where merchants gathered. It is said that there were countless gold here, but no one knew where these gold was so far.

In addition, there are many myths and legends in Jingjue Kingdom, but let’s not talk about these legends, gold is loved by everyone! Especially these horse thieves, aren’t they acting as horse thieves just for these gold, silver and treasures?

So after getting this news, it can be said that all the horse thieves are ready to move.

As the largest group among horse thieves, the Black Mountain thieves are naturally no exception.

The name of Heishan comes from a mountain in the Qilian Mountains southwest of Yangguan. Because the mountain contains special minerals, the color of the mountain is black and brown, so it is also called Heishan.

The largest stronghold of the Montenegro bandits is in this Black Mountain Pass, but no one knows where their stronghold is, and no one dares to come here to find them.

"Boss, how about we always do it?" At this moment, a man in his thirties was asking another man with hair tied into a braid in the Black Mountain bandits' camp.

This man has a very burly figure and is not common in the Western Regions, but his eyebrows, hair are sparse, and his face is fierce. If anyone is familiar with the Black Mountain bandit, he will know that this man is the leader of the Black Mountain bandit, nicknamed the Black Dragon King. It is said that near the Black Mountain is his Black Dragon King's territory. The caravans passing by here must stay and buy money.

"Temu, is this matter confirmed? Is the news reliable or not?" The Black Dragon King frowned and asked coldly.

"It should be reliable. Now all horse thieves of all sizes in the Western Regions know about it, but it is said that Bormu suffered a loss in the hands of these people. The other party had a hundred elite cavalry in his hands, the kind of armor in his hands. If they didn't have a lot of money in their hands, they would not be able to afford such armor at all." Temu thought for a while and spoke.

"Hmph, Bormu? He was in his hands a group of mobs. If he hadn't had some relationship with the Tongluo tribe, he would have died long ago." The Black Dragon King sneered.

"Then?" Temu immediately raised his head and asked.

"Go, no matter whether the news is true or not, will you know if you kill all these people? I don't believe that they can hide these secrets when facing the steel knife." The Black Dragon King said lightly.

"Chief! Hu Ba is back." At this time, a Turkic man came in outside and reported loudly.

"Oh? Let him come in quickly. He goes out to check the news. It should be that there is a result." The Black Dragon King immediately sat upright.

Few people know that the Black Mountain bandits are not entirely composed of Turks. There are also many Han people in the Black Mountain bandits, or that their Black Mountain bandits are Black Mountain bandits, which has nothing to do with the Turks, the Tang Dynasty, Yiwu, and Gaochang!

Soon, a man with a Chinese face pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, the man spoke loudly: "Chief, I'm back."

"How is Hu Ba? Is the news circulating outside true?" the Black Dragon King asked immediately.

"I don't know if there is any treasure in this group of people, but the Bormu tribe was slaughtered by them." Hu Ba sat directly on the chair next to him, picked up the wine jar next to him and poured himself a sip of wine, then gasped and said.

"Slaughtered?" The Black Dragon King was stunned for a moment, and his face became solemn in an instant, "Tell me carefully."

"The leader of this group of people is Huo Gang. It is said that they are the son of Huo Ling, the general of the Great Sui Dynasty. However, Huo Ling is dead. Now these people are led by Huo Gang. Bormu once ambushed them near the ruins of Yumen Pass in the Han Dynasty. About 300 Turkic cavalry were completely destroyed by the other side, and Bormu ran away by himself."

"Then Huo Gang led his soldiers to directly release the horses of the cavalry under Bormu, and then followed these horses to slaughter all the three tribes of Bormu for nearly 900 people, not one left." Hu Ba took a deep breath and said.

"No one left?" The Black Dragon King widened his eyes and repeated it.

"No one left! Including a few months old babies." Hu Ba said seriously nodding.

"Hiss..." The Black Dragon King and Tiemu couldn't help but take a breath. He also claimed to be a murder without blinking, and the child had never been killed, but he really never did this kind of thing that slaughtered three tribes with just a disagreement.

He plundered many tribes and killed many people, but he basically followed the rules of the grassland Gobi Desert. As long as children, women and elderly people do not resist, they rarely kill them. This is already a tacit understanding.

Because they don’t kill them, these people rarely take revenge. This is the default rule on the grassland. Women on the grassland are like goods. If you kill her man and grab her back, she will not resist and will even give birth to children for you. This is almost a tradition on the grassland.
