It was the season when the dry and dry things were dry, the dead grass and tinder oil below were ignited by the rockets shot down. Instantly, fire balls appeared on the ground and spread around. The pottery containing the residual tinder oil directly burst into flames several feet.

This rift valley that was just calm seemed to have been suddenly ignited. Fire balls appeared from the ground, bursts of smoke rose from the valley, and quickly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

If it were in the plain clearing, these more than 3,000 people could escape the curtains in scattered. However, the place here was narrow and the fire at both ends had already burned, which made them look extremely panicked.

A bandit could not hide, but was quickly swallowed by the sea of ​​fire. The fire man rolled around in tears and howled, and the clothes and fat on his body sizzled in the burning, and finally became a charred corpse.

Faced with this sudden fire, these robbers who were killing without blinking were scared.

A fire man who was crying and howling could bear it, but the same situation occurred one after another. Facing dozens or even hundreds of shrill screams, it made people feel creepy.

In a very short time, hundreds of people were burned into firemen, and this rift valley was like a hell on earth.

"Roar, hurry forward!"

Although Wei Yinbao never took the Ming Dynasty's official army seriously, he was only facing this rift valley like a purgatory on earth, he knew that escaping from this place was their only way to live, and that was to give a loud command.

The gloomy sky is like thick ink, and the mountain wind sways the trees.

Wei Yinbao has a strong fate and has been alive for decades of fighting against the Ming Dynasty. However, he is not Sima Yi after all, and there is no trace of rain above his head.

Lin usually stood on the big bluestone and looked for the traces of Wei Yinbao. The mountain wind blew her clothes, and she was like a green pine standing in the stone rock.

When Guilin left guard commander Jie Ying and others saw this, they turned their heads and looked at Lin Pingchang standing on the bluestone, and felt a little admiration in their hearts.

Lin Pingchang saw Wei Yinbao trying to lead his men forward, and gave a deep instruction to the people on Jie Ying's side: "Don't let them run away!"

In the rift, screams continued.

The bandits were constantly engulfed by the fire. Except for some people who could not escape, some people were driven into the sea of ​​fire by the people behind them, and some people were even forced to use their bodies to open the way for Wei Yinbao.

Boom!

On the way forward, just as they seemed to see hope of escaping from the sky, a large rock suddenly fell from the sky in the narrow area of ​​the rift valley.

puff!

A bandit soldier could not dodge and was hit hard by the stone. First, a sound of bone cracks came from his body, and then he vomited blood from his mouth and fell silently to the ground.

"Not good, there is an ambush!"

Seeing this, a leader of a bandit soldier immediately shouted in horror.

Puff! Puff!

The bandits faced the stones that descended from the beginning, and were completely unavoidable in this narrow area. Some people were killed or injured, which quickly extinguished their newly ignited hope.

The team that seemed neat and orderly just now was disrupted by this sudden fall. Some people thought of continuing to flee forward, while others thought of running backward, which made the thief team seem in chaos.

In order to fight this ambush, Lin Pingchang led the officers and soldiers and the village soldiers to make enough preparations and smashed the rolling stones and large stones that had been prepared on the fleeing bandits.

“Forward, forward!”

Facing this sudden change, Wei Yinbao made a quick decision to direct his subordinates.

After losing troops and losing generals, the team barely reorganized. However, the front was blocked by rolling stones, and the fire in the rift became more and more prosperous, which made many people go forward and die, and more and more bandits fell down one after another.

In fact, falling rocks are secondly, mainly because the fire in the rift here is getting stronger and stronger. In addition, the thick smoke makes them suffocate and their eyes cannot see. More and more bandits were burned to black charcoal for their former evil.

The company paid the price.

Wei Yinbao has been urinating with his father since he was a child and has been commonplace with the corpse, but seeing such a tragic situation, he felt a long-lost fear in his heart.

This large gang killed the thieves who had made Guilin Guards and Yulin Army retreat and dared not leave the city, but were now trapped in the sea of ​​fire and were burned to death one by one in front of him.

"Who is it?"

Wei Yinbao fought for most of his life, but rarely ended in such a miserable situation. He looked around with his eyes and asked loudly.

But it was God's will that made people feel like they were. A cliff pine grew on the stone wall, which just blocked his vision. He could not see Lin Pingchang standing on the bluestone on the top of the mountain.

Wei Yinbao is a decisive person. Even if the horses are unable to move forward, he knows that his life has always been very hard, even harder than the Licorice Pavilion Master who has experienced two life and deaths.

Faced with such a dilemma, he still resolutely clashed forward and wanted to escape.

Even though the rocks and fires on their heads were constantly harvesting their lives, they continued to struggle to move forward, but when they approached the entrance of the rift, there were only a few hundred people left.

Just when they thought they had escaped from the sky, a familiar and unfamiliar voice sounded from the high ground, and the bandits in front fell into pools of blood.

Boom!

More than ten tiger squat cannons appeared on the slope of the rift valley, and the firearms army of the United Merchants appeared here, using their firearms to attack hundreds of people who escaped.

Bang! Bang!

In addition to the tiger squat cannon, the flintlock team fired in an orderly manner. Because they were on the slope, the bandits were shot and fell to the ground like targets.

puff!

Wei Yinbao, who was loyally protected by a few confidants, was trapped in the heart by a lead bullet. He reached out to cover his head and looked at the gray sky with his eyes open and fell to the ground.

"Wei Yinbao is dead, don't you surrender?" Dogzi's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked loudly at the dozens of remaining bandits.

The bandits couldn't help but exchanged glances. A bandit leader suddenly fled in front of him, but he was shot dead after only taking a few steps. The remaining bandits threw down their weapons and chose to surrender.

Seeing that the matter was solved perfectly, Gouzi helped confiscate the bandits and planned to transport Wei Yinbao's body back to Guilin City.

"Brother Dog, this person is not Wei Yinbao!" A Miao man with a headscarf wrapped in a headscarf stepped forward to check Wei Yinbao's body, and reported in panic.

Another general immediately stepped forward to check Wei Yinbao's body and nodded solemnly to the dog. The dead one was indeed not the thief Wei Yinbao.

Gouzi patted his forehead in annoyance, wanting to report this matter to Lin Pingchang, but when he ran to the top of the mountain, Lin Pingchang had long disappeared from the bluestone.

For a moment, Wei Yinbao's whereabouts became a mystery. If they really let Wei Yinbao escape back to Gutian this time, then their ambush was quite fruitful, but they could not truly eradicate the cancer.

The reason why Wei Yinbao was able to survive until now was not only his military talent, but also that he was a master of escape.

While fighting at the Rift Valley entrance here, Wei Yinbao used the main force to help him attract the attention of the official army, but rode his horse and chose to break back with the remaining elite.

This strategy was effective. Although the back road was also ambushed by rockfalls and firearms, it was undoubtedly not so intense, and even caught the officers and soldiers off guard.

Wei Yinbao's fate is indeed very strong. Although most of the subordinates died and injured in the breakthrough, he and his horse were safe and sound.

He felt sorry for the three thousand subordinates who were left here, but thought that as long as he returned to Gutian smoothly, he would still be the local emperor who made the Ming Dynasty helpless.

This time he came to attack Guilin Village. Although he told his subordinates that he wanted to occupy Guilin Mansion, he actually had the idea of ​​attacking the Jingjiang Mansion, so some of the troops remained in Gutian, so that he could continue to be the local emperor.

He is now in his sixties, and he is already past the age to establish hegemony, and has also lost that ambition and just wants to live a better life.

That's true, he actually did not want to touch the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty, but wanted to be a mountain king peacefully and get some silver from the fat sheep in the Jingjiang Palace.

Although I didn't get much benefit from the Jingjiang Palace, getting more than 40,000 taels of silver from the Guangxi Provincial Government and the Ministry of Public Security Bureau is also a good harvest.

But his wishful thinking was still failed. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not all full of money, but they left him a rare defeat in his life.

"When I return to Gutian, I will not treat you badly!" Wei Yinbao was never embarrassed, but he made a promise to the remaining dozens of subordinates who were motivating morale.

Dozens of bandit soldiers seemed to have just come out of hell, and at this time they seemed to be in lingering fear. Facing Wei Yinbao's wish, they also cheered up and responded.

But when he thought he could escape back to Gutian successfully, there was a group of people in front of him blocking his way.

Lin Pingchang seemed to have expected Wei Yinbao to choose this direction to break through, but he sat on the horse holding a spear and said, "I have been waiting for this for a long time!"

"Who are you?" Wei Yinbao vaguely guessed the answer, but asked in a deep voice.

Lin Pingchang responded immediately like a knight, "I am Lin Pingchang. Today I will do my best to heaven and take you, the evil thief!"

"To put it nicely, he is just a hawk in the court!" Wei Yinbao knew that Lin usually had a good reputation, but he deliberately belittled him and said with a righteous attitude: "The Zhu family is unrighteous, and the emperor was indifferent to the people for the sake of practicing Taoism.

Brother is bullying, what's wrong with me raising the flag?"

"I don't care what your reason is to raise the flag, but you mistakenly robbed the disaster relief grain from Guilin Baifu, looted the property of dozens of village villagers, and even massacred countless villagers, all of which were harmful to the world!

"Lin Pingchang's determination was not shaken, but was full of Wei Yinbao's evil tunnels.

Facing the accusation, Wei Yinbao responded with confidence: "Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have been unyielding in small matters. I am just trying to survive. What's wrong with it?"

"What's wrong? You are only thinking about your own wealth and glory, but you have long forgotten the original intention of the uprising, right? Do you know why I knew you were attacking Guilin Mansion, and how did you know that you were walking here?

Road?" Lin Pingchang snorted coldly.

The dragon-slaying boy finally became an evil dragon, which is quite appropriate for Wei Yinbao. If Wei Yinbao used to seek a way out for the oppressed tribe members, then now, he has become the bad guy he hates.

The Gutian area is relatively barren, but people's greed will increase with time. Wei Yinbao has long been content with the status quo, and there is no big difference between the copycat king who makes a living by robbery.

Wei Yinbao's face turned slightly pale, and he immediately asked, "Is there a spy here?"

"It's not a spy, but your actions are incomplete. Even your tribe members no longer support you!" Lin Pingchang corrected.

The dozens of people following Wei Yinbao silently lowered their heads and began to re-examine their leader.

Wei Yinbao sneered, "So what?"

"I want to remove you and restore peace to Guangxi!" Lin Pingchang said his ultimate goal of sticking to Guangxi.

"Haha... A girl talks so loudly, take her life!" Wei Yinbao laughed in anger, then raised the big knife in his hand and slapped it forward.

Lin Pingchang had no fear on his face, and he raised the silver spear in his hand and directly faced Wei Yinbao.

The commander of Guilin's left guard Jie Ying looked at it with a heart-wrenching worry, afraid that the eldest lady of the Lin family would have an accident. No matter what, she would not want this young girl from a precious background to dare to do so.

Bang!

The two soon fought together. As soon as they met, Wei Yinbao's face changed from contempt to solemnity, and he was even more shocked.
