Chapter 497: Mighty Snowy Domain

Horse bandits, an ancient and magical profession, these people come and go like the wind, galloping in the grassland and Gobi, has always been the most troublesome existence for the government and business travelers.

Strictly speaking, the horse bandits on the plateau gradually grew up with the development of border trade between the Ming Dynasty and Tubo, because the horse bandits also pursued the maximization of profits!

But just as Ngawang Lobsang thought, there was no one in the Tibetan tribe from top to bottom who did not believe in Buddhism, and the horse bandits may have plundered past merchants, but they would never attack the Buddhas.

Therefore, Ngawang Lobsang and Shahrhutuktu immediately thought that this group of horse bandits was instructed by Tanju Wangpo.

Ye Xun had a hundred guards, and Ngawang Luosang had more than 300 people, adding up to less than 500, and from the sound of the horses' hooves, it was not difficult to judge that there were at least more than 1,000 horse bandits.

Shalhutuktu was also anxious, with his kung fu, it would definitely be no problem to get out, but Ngawang Rosang didn't know martial arts, and Sharhu Tuktu couldn't leave Ngawang Lobsang behind!

When he turned his head, he saw that Ye Xun seemed to be fine, and his heart couldn't help but move, could it be that Ye Xun still has a backhand?

When they set up camp, the place they chose was leeward, and it was also a good place for defense, and Shaerhutuktu didn't know that after feeling the ground shaking, Ye Xun's guards were already ready to defend.

There is no need for orders, this is the duty of the guards, and Ye Xun has an unconditional trust in them.

In terms of official positions, Ye Xun and the guards are superiors and subordinates, but when there is a war, they are close comrades-in-arms.

Feeling the gaze of Sha'er Hutuketu and Ngawang Luosang, Ye Xun smiled indifferently and said, "Withdraw your men inside and extinguish all the lights."

A person who has been in a high position for a long time and can hold the power of life and death in the world has an irrefutable power in his gestures.

Almost subconsciously, Shahrhutuktu called all his men back, and then formed a protective ring around Ngawang Lobsan.

Anyone can have an accident, but this living Buddha can't have an accident.

As orders were handed down, the entire camp was suddenly plunged into darkness, but the speed of the horse bandits did not slow down in the slightest, and it was obvious that they were extremely familiar with the terrain here.

A thousand soldiers on land can be described as a mountain and a wilderness, not to mention that this is more than a thousand iron horsemen.

As soon as this side was ready for battle, the dull sound of horses' hooves also surged to this side like rolling thunder, and the ground under their feet seemed to tremble.

As far as the eye can see, the horse bandits galloping with torches held high are like several fire dragons with their mouths wide open, roaring towards them.

Ngawang Lobsang was infected by Ye Xun, but he was also very calm, but Sharhu Tuketu was a little unbearable, not because of how small his courage was, but because he really couldn't afford the consequences of Ngawang Lobsan's accident.

At this moment, tongues of fire suddenly erupted from the darkness, followed by a crisp sound like "pop, pop..."

After a round of gunfire, the bandits screamed, and the team immediately went into disarray.

But after the war horse galloped, it was not something that could be stopped in a moment, so although countless horse bandits fell off their horses, the whole team still maintained a momentum of rushing forward.

"Smack..."

There was another shot fire, and this time the target was a war horse.

After a burst of mournful roars of the horses, the speed of the horse bandits' impact finally slowed down, and at this time, the horse bandits were already within the range of arrows from the camp, but under extreme panic, the horse bandits still had the heart to shoot arrows, and they turned their horses and fled, even the accomplices who were lying on the ground screaming couldn't take care of it.

Although the Tubo people also knew that the Ming army had firearms, Ye Xun's firearms had long exceeded the cognition of any army in this era, so that they didn't even see the shadow of the target, and they ended in a fiasco.

Real swords and guns may not be able to scare people, and only this kind of fear that people can't see and can't touch can destroy the morale of the army the most.

A seemingly dangerous raid ended in a hurry.

Needless to say, Ngawang Lobsang finally understood why this young eunuch dared to bring only such a few people into Tibet.

He bowed to Ye Xun and said, "There are many offenses to the right talents, please don't be weird to my father-in-law."

"Those who don't know are not to blame, some things need to be seen with their own eyes to believe, and my father also hopes to always be friends with the living Buddha, not to become enemies"

Ye Xun's tone was still as flat as ever, but the implied meaning in his words couldn't be more obvious.

No one can stop the footsteps of the Ming soldiers, Dan Zhen Wangbo can't do it, and you people can't do it either.

After dawn, Shalhutuktu sent people to clean up the battlefield and found that in addition to the corpses of nearly 100 war horses, there were also the corpses of more than 200 horse bandits.

Some of the bandits were not killed on the spot, but were frozen to death without timely medical treatment and assistance after being injured.

At this point, all the Tibetan people, including Ngawang Luosang's entourage, put away their contempt for this group of Ming troops, and their attitudes became more and more respectful.

A seemingly inconspicuous act of cracking down on horse bandits soon spread like a gust of wind across the snowy plateau...

It's still the same place, it's still a few big nobles in Tibet, but the atmosphere of this meeting is even more solemn than the last time, even if the brazier is withdrawn, the atmosphere in the big tent is still a little depressing.

This time, it was Dan Zhen Wangbo who spoke first, his majestic eyes swept over a few people, and he said in a deep voice: "Now some people still say that this Ye Gonggong is in vain?" No matter how difficult the road is, there will be a day to arrive, what will we do then? ”

Although Bedanabu was not named, there was still a hot feeling on his face, because he was the one who bragged about it at the beginning.

He said angrily: "No matter how powerful the eunuch's guards are, there are only about 100 people, let's surround him with more than 100,000 troops, and we don't believe that he has three heads and six arms."

Dunyue Duoji also changed his previous attitude, frowned and said: "The Han people have a saying, it is said that no profit can not be early, why can't we talk to the surname Ye?" What those people of Losang Quji can agree, we can too! ”

Not to mention, this is also a way, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, and the Tibetan area is far away from Middle Earth, and several people don't believe that Ye Xun's hand is really that long, and what he wants is only nominal jurisdiction.

Dan Zhen Wangbo turned his head to look at Chotu Khan, who had not spoken, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Chotu Khan smiled slightly and said, "I mean you might as well do both."

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, he continued: "What Dunyue Duoji said makes sense, we might as well find someone to contact the surname Ye secretly first, but we can't completely pin our hopes on this, I think we can also send someone to find Gushi Khan."

Hearing this, Dan Zhen Wangpo was the first to react, because he had just heard that although the Ming Dynasty army shouted before, it didn't seem to have launched an attack on the Erut Division.

If this is the case, would Gushi Khan be willing to have what should have been his taken by someone else? Seems to be a good question to answer!

Thinking about this, Dan Zhen Wangbo's face couldn't help but smile...
