Therefore, in the afternoon, after the natives and Westerners were menacing and surrounded the Gu family building, the indigenous leader was also the initiator of this incident, the original sinner Li Yuanjia, with a big belly and a big head, roared in front of the Gu family restaurant: "Listen to the people of Middle-earth upstairs, you must surrender unconditionally this time, give us all the materials, and wait for us to deal with it, otherwise we will burn you to death with rockets." ”

Gu Baye heard that the enemy was going to attack with fire, and knew that the critical moment had come. He asked everyone to bring water to wet the wooden floor walls, and at the same time prepared to break out.

Some people suggested that all the small families should be transferred to the stone house downstairs, and the second floor slab should be splashed with more water, as long as one floor is kept.

Gu Baye saw that some people were a little hesitant, so he said: "If someone wants to surrender to those mongrels and beg, I won't stop them, just let people open the door and let you out." ”

Li Shijiang, the vice chairman of the association, is Li Shixian's cousin, and he said: "The revenge of killing my brother is not shared. Our Li family swears to fight them to the death! More than a dozen people from the Li family responded.

Most of the others shouted, "Die till death, give his dogs to the end!" "For a while, the crowd was excited, and the momentum was revived!

We, the Chinese nation, are not afraid of violence again, and since ancient times, we have had the heroic spirit of fighting the enemy to the end! This is the blood nature of our Chinese people, and the gene of our nation's long-lasting prosperity.

When the leader of the enemy saw that the bait did not work, he asked the archers to prepare the rockets and shouted, "Ignite the fire, release the arrows!" ”

Hundreds of rockets with flames were fired towards the second and third floors of the Gu Family Restaurant. Fortunately, the archers were all natives, who were malnourished and thin since childhood, and had poor arm strength, and only a dozen or so arrows were nailed to the wall in the first round.

Li Shijiang called for the long bamboo pole to be taken to the second and third floors, and let the bamboo pole with good arm strength stick out of the window to shoot down the rocket nailed to the wall.

Seeing that the first round of rockets did not work, Li Yuanjia asked the archers to move forward under the cover of Westerners holding wooden planks, shortening the distance to within fifty paces.

At this distance, at the time of the second salvo, most of them were nailed to the planks. The bamboo pole was brought, so several leaders instructed everyone to use the bamboo pole to deal with the rocket.

This method really worked, and the rocket nailed to the wall of the restaurant was quickly shot down by the bamboo pole and fell to the ground and burned. In this way, one side kept shooting, and the other side stopped hitting with a bamboo pole, and after half an hour, the archer could no longer pull the bow, and the arm of the person holding the bamboo pole was weak.

Seeing that the rockets were basically useless, Li Yuanjia and the leaders of the Westerners came up with a new group of people, and let a small number of people shoot people with arrows at people holding bamboo poles, and most of the archers continued to use rockets to shoot wooden floors.

Although the native archers were poorly accurate, they were closer, and half of the bows and arrows were effective. There are constantly people who hold bamboo poles who are injured, and if they are shot in the arm, the bamboo pole will naturally be unstable. In a short time, most of the dozens of clothes poles were lost.

There are more and more rockets on the walls of the restaurant, and the walls of some places have begun to catch fire and smoke.

At the critical moment, the water in more than a dozen large water tanks downstairs bottomed out. The people who ran back and forth to deliver water, the people who held bows and arrows to defend themselves against the enemy, and the people who swept down rockets with bamboo poles, even if they were so tired that their throats and eyes were smoking, they were not willing to take a sip, but they were still gone.

"There are only a few basins of water left, Eighth Master, let the wounded and the children drink a sip of these basins of water. Anyway, it's a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't make a big difference. Li Shijiang said.

"Good! Let all the active men and young women pick up knives, guns and sticks, and if the floor slab on the second floor is burned through, they will open and knock on the door, protecting the elderly and children and rushing out together. Gu Jiaerlang rushed to open the way in front! Gu Baye said categorically.

"Oh no, Eighth Master, the fire has started on the third floor." A person goes down from the third floor to the second floor.

"All to the first floor!"

"Look! Someone came to our rescue! And the sound of boom and boom. "Ah, really, those people are so brave. Like a tiger in a flock, the enemy fled. "We're saved, haha......"

"Open the gate and get water from the ditch outside to put out the fire!" Gu Baye also shouted happily.
