1691 Hero
In the dry season, the dead grass and fire oil below were ignited by the rockets that shot down, and a ball of fire instantly appeared on the ground and spread around, and the clay pot containing the residual fire oil directly burst into flames.
This rift, which had just been calm, seemed to be suddenly ignited, and one by one fire balls appeared from the ground, and bursts of smoke rose from the valley, quickly turning into a sea of fire.
If it were in the open space of the plains, these more than 3,000 people would still be able to scatter and flee. It's just that the place is cramped, and the fires at both ends have already burned, which makes them look extremely panicked.
A bandit was unable to dodge it, but was quickly engulfed by the flames, and the burning ghost rolled howling, his clothes and fat sizzling in the burning, and finally became a charred corpse.
In the face of this sudden fire, these murderous bandits were afraid.
A fire man who cried wolf could still bear it, but the same situation appeared one after another around him, facing dozens or even hundreds of terrible screams, which made people feel creepy.
In a very short period of time, hundreds of people were burned to the ground, and the rift was like a living hell.
"Rush, rush forward!"
Although Wei Yinbao never took the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers seriously, but faced this rift like purgatory on earth, he knew that escaping from this was the only way for them to survive, so he gave instructions loudly.
The overcast sky was like thick ink, and the mountain wind swayed the trees.
Wei Yinbao's life is very strong, and he is still alive and well after fighting against Daming for decades, but he is not Sima Yi after all, and there is no trace of rain on his head.
Lin usually stood on the big bluestone looking for the trace of Wei Yinbao, the mountain wind was blowing her clothes, and the whole person was like a green pine standing in the rock.
Seeing that the situation was like this, Jieying and the others turned their heads to look at Lin Pingping, who was standing on top of the bluestone, and felt a little admiration in their hearts.
Lin usually saw that Wei Yinbao wanted to lead the men and horses forward, and gave a deep order to the people on Jieying's side: "Don't let them run away!" ”
In the rift, the screams continued.
The thieves were constantly engulfed in flames, in addition to some people who couldn't escape, some people were pushed into the fire by the people behind them, and some people were even forced to use their bodies to clear the way for Wei Yinbao.
Bang!
As the bandits marched forward, just as they seemed to see hope of escape, a boulder suddenly fell from the sky in the narrow area of the rift.
Burst!
One of the thieves couldn't dodge and was hit hard by the rock. First, there was a sound of bone cracking in his body, and then he vomited blood in his mouth, and the whole person fell to the ground silently.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
When a thief leader saw this, he immediately shouted in horror.
Burst! Burst!
The thieves were faced with stones falling from their heads, and there was no way to avoid them in this narrow area, and people were stoned to death or wounded, so that their newborn hopes were quickly extinguished.
The procession, which had just appeared to be neat and orderly, was disrupted by the sudden falling rocks, and some people wanted to continue to flee forward, while others thought of fleeing backwards, making the anti-thief team look chaotic.
In order to fight this ambush battle well, Lin Ping 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 one after another towards the fleeing thieves.
"Onward, onward!"
Wei Yinbao faced this sudden change, but he immediately commanded his subordinates.
After losing troops, the team was barely reorganized. However, the front was blocked by rolling stones, and the fire in the rift valley became more and more intense, so that many people were almost sent to death forward, and more and more thieves fell one after another.
In fact, the falling rocks are secondary, mainly because the fires in the rift valley here are getting more and more vigorous, and the smoke makes them suffocate and their eyes can't see, and more and more thieves are burned to black coal, paying the price for their past evil deeds.
Wei Yinbao has been killing people with his father since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to corpses, but looking at such a tragic situation, he was afraid of it for a long time.
This large group of thieves who killed Guilinwei and Yulin Jun and did not dare to leave the city were now caught in the flames, and they were burned to death in front of his eyes one by one.
"Who is it?"
Wei Yinbao has been fighting for most of his life, but he has rarely fallen into such an embarrassing situation, looking at the surroundings with tears in his eyes and asking loudly.
But it was providence that made people, and there was a cliff pine growing on the stone wall, which just blocked his vision, and he couldn't see Lin Ping standing on the bluestone on the top of the mountain.
Wei Yinbao is a person with a resolute character, even if the horse is no longer able to move forward, he knows that his life has always been very hard, even harder than the old man of the Licorice Pavilion who has experienced two lives and deaths.
In the face of such a predicament, he still did not hesitate to move forward and want to escape.
Even as the rockfalls and fires on their heads continued to harvest lives, they continued to struggle forward, only by the time they approached the mouth of the rift, there were only a few hundred people left.
Just as they thought they had escaped, a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar sounded from the high ground, and the thieves in front of them fell in a pool of blood.
Bang!
More than a dozen tiger squatting cannons appeared on the slope of the rift valley, and the firearms army of the United Merchants appeared here, using their firearms to attack the hundreds of people who had escaped.
Bang! Bang!
In addition to the Tiger Squat Cannon, the flintlock teams took turns firing in an orderly manner. Because they were on the slope, the thieves were shot and fell to the ground like targets.
Burst!
Wei Yinbao, who was loyally protected by several cronies, was hit in the heart by a lead bullet, and he reached out to cover his head, looking at the gray sky and fell to the ground.
"Wei Yinbao is dead, don't you surrender?" The dog's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked loudly to the remaining dozens of thieves.
The gang of thieves couldn't help but exchange glances, and one of the bandit leaders suddenly fled forward, only to be killed after only a few steps, and the rest of the thieves dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.
Seeing that the matter was perfectly resolved, the dog helped collect the thieves, and at the same time planned to transport Wei Yinbao's body back to Guilin City.
"Brother Dog, this person is not Wei Yinbao!" A Miao man with a turban on his head stepped forward to inspect Wei Yinbao's corpse, and reported with a panicked expression.
Another general immediately stepped forward to inspect Wei Yinbao's body, and nodded solemnly at the dog, this dead person was indeed not the thief leader Wei Yinbao.
The dog patted his forehead in annoyance, wanting to report this matter to Lin Pingping, but when he ran to the top of the mountain, Lin Pingping was no longer visible on the bluestone.
For a while, Wei Yinbao's whereabouts became a mystery. If they really let Wei Yinbao escape back to Gutian this time, then although their ambush was a great success, they would not be able to truly eradicate this cancer.
The reason why Wei Yinbao has been able to survive until now is that in addition to his military talent, he is also a master of escape.
When the battle was going on at the mouth of the rift valley here, Wei Yinbao used this main force to help him attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, but he rode a horse and chose to break through backwards with the only remaining elite.
This ploy worked very well, and although the back road was also ambushed by falling rocks and firearms, it was undoubtedly not so intense, and it caught the officers and soldiers by surprise.
Wei Yinbao's life was indeed very hard, although most of his subordinates were killed and injured in the breakout, he and his horse were unharmed.
He felt sorry for the three thousand subordinates who were left here, but he thought that as long as he returned to Gutian smoothly, then he would still be the one who made Daming helpless.
This time he came to attack Guilin Village, although he said to his subordinates that he wanted to occupy Guilin Mansion, but in fact, it was the idea of Jingjiang Palace, so there were still some people and horses staying in Gutian, so that he could continue to be the emperor of the soil.
He is now in his sixties, and he has long passed the age of establishing a hegemony, and he has lost that ambition and only wants to live a better life.
It is precisely like this, he actually doesn't want to touch the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty, but wants to be a mountain king in peace and happiness, and get some silver taels from the fat sheep of Jingjiang Palace.
Although he didn't get much benefit from the Jingjiang Palace, he got more than 40,000 taels of silver from the treasury of the Guangxi political envoy, which was also a good harvest.
However, his wishful thinking still failed, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not all wine bags and rice bags, but here they left him a rare fiasco in his life.
"When I return to Gutian, I won't treat you badly!" Wei Yinbao had never been embarrassed, but he made a promise to the few dozen remaining subordinates to inspire morale.
Dozens of thieves seemed to have just come out of hell, and at this time they still seemed to have palpitations, and in the face of Wei Yinbao's wish, they also cheered up and responded.
It's just that when he thought he could escape back to Gutian smoothly, there was already a group of people blocking the way in front of him.
Lin usually seemed to have expected that Wei Yinbao would choose this direction to break through, but he sat on the horse with a spear in his hand and said, "I've been waiting like this for a long time!" ”
"Who are you?" Wei Yinbao vaguely guessed the answer, but still asked in a deep voice.
Lin Pingping, like a chivalrous man, immediately responded: "I am Lin Pingping, and today I will accept you as a thief for Tianxingdao!" ”
"That's a nice thing to say, but it's just an eagle dog of the imperial court!" Wei Yinbao knew that Lin Ping's reputation was very good, but he deliberately belittled him, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "The Zhu family has no way, that emperor was bullied by Brother Dog in vain for the sake of cultivating the Tao, what's wrong with me raising the flag?" ”
"I don't care what reason you have for raising the flag against the obvious, but you are wrong in robbing the disaster relief grain of Guilin's hundred mansions, looting the property of villagers in dozens of villages, and slaughtering countless villagers, all of which are hurtful and unreasonable!" Lin Ping's determination was not shaken, but he counted Wei Yinbao's evil appearance.
Wei Yinbao faced the accusation, but responded with confidence: "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have not yielded to small things, I am trying to survive, why is there anything wrong?" ”
"What's wrong? You are only thinking about your own glory and wealth now, but you have long forgotten the original purpose of the incident, right? Do you know why I knew that you attacked Guilin Mansion, and how did I know that you were taking this path? Lin usually snorted coldly.
The dragon slayer boy eventually became an evil dragon, which is quite suitable for Wei Yinbao. If in the past, Wei Yinbao was making a living for the oppressed people, then now, he has become the bad guy he hates.
The Gutian area is relatively barren, but people's greed will grow over time, Wei Yinbao has long been content with the status quo, and there is not much difference between him and the cottage king who makes a living by robbing.
Wei Yinbao's face turned slightly pale, and he immediately asked, "I have a spy here?" ”
"It's not a spy, it's that what you do is against heaven, even your people don't support you anymore!" Lin usually corrected.
The dozens of people who followed behind Wei Yinbao silently lowered their heads, and they had already begun to re-examine their leader.
Wei Yinbao sneered: "So what? ”
"I want to uproot you and restore peace to Guangxi!" Lin usually said his ultimate goal of sticking to Guangxi.
"Huh...... A female streamer is so big, take her life! Wei Yinbao smiled angrily, and raised the big knife in his hand to slap forward.
Lin Pingping's face did not have the slightest fear, and he also raised the silver spear in his hand and directly faced Wei Yinbao.
Guilin Zuowei Commander Jie Ying looked quite worried, for fear that this eldest lady of the Lin family would have an accident, no matter what, he didn't want this girl from a noble background to dare to come so nonsense.
Syllable!
The two of them soon fought together, and just after they met each other, Wei Yinbao's face turned from contempt to solemnity, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.
Although he is old, his strength is much stronger than that of many young people, but compared to this girl, he is already at a disadvantage.
Lin usually insisted on morning training, plus she was born with great strength, and her playing style was even more like Ali's offensive method, but it was a stormy stab, smash and sweep with Wei Yinbao.
This......
Guilin Left Guard Commander Jieying was originally quite worried that Lin Ping would be killed by the other party, but looking at the battle situation in front of him, he was worried about this sixty-year-old Wei Yinbao.
Burst!
Wei Yinbao only parried for a few rounds, but was slammed into the chest by the silver spear, a mouthful of old blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person fell to the ground.
When he tried to get up from the ground, Lin Ping had already slapped his horse in front of him, and the silver spear was pointed at Wei Yinbao's throat.
Wei Baoyin is indeed not as good as back then, facing the threat of death, but he does not dare to breathe in a big way, for fear that this very big lady of the Lin family will shoot through his throat.
Seeing that Lin Ping defeated Wei Yinbao so neatly, the soldiers on this side suddenly soared.
Several officers and soldiers stepped forward to tie up Wei Yinbao, and the dozens of thieves saw that the situation was like this, and with the awe of Lin Pingping's heart, they also abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The fire in the rift valley burned for more than half an hour before it was extinguished, and the ground that had been overgrown with weeds became a red ground, and the grass ash was blown into dust by the north wind, and the ground was littered with charred corpses.
It was at the time of the New Year that Wei Yinbao, who had been plagued by Guangxi for decades, was captured, and the 3,000 thieves who attacked Guilin Mansion and Jingjiang Mansion with him were almost completely killed and wounded.
On the Spring Festival of Jiajing's 44th day, Lin usually chose to spend it in Guilin Mansion, and she became a big hero in the eyes of the people of Guangxi. From the disaster relief in Guangxi in the past to the live capture of Wei Yinbao today, her reputation has reached its peak all of a sudden.
Wei Yinbao was captured, 3,000 elites were killed and wounded, Wei Yinbao's brother Wei Yinzhan and Liao Donggui sent a letter of surrender and accepted Lin Ping's recruitment.
However, what happened here is unknown to the capital. At this time, the bigwigs of the court were fighting over how to deal with Wei Yinbao, and there were two factions, the main battle and Zhao'an.
