The old man comforted the child.
The children finally managed to stop crying.
Just then, everyone smelled a pungent odor.
Bucket after bucket of flaming oil was poured onto the house.
Some of the flammable oil was poured in through the crack in the door.
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
An old man trembled with fear: "Those bastards want to burn us alive."
"I have never seen such a despicable and shameless person."
“They killed our people, violated our women, and stole our gold and silver.”
"They stole our grain and our livestock."
“These people are a bunch of devils, and now they want to burn us alive.”
The crowd pounded on the doors and windows.
However, thick wooden boards had already been nailed to the doors and windows.
No matter how hard they try.
They simply couldn't break free.
Just then, the outside light came on.
Some people peeked out through the crack in the door.
Dozens of Ottoman soldiers, each holding a torch.
With a command given.
Dozens of torches were thrown over.
Soon, all the torches landed on the roof and walls.
These torches ignited rapidly upon contact with the flammable oil.
The raging flames burned ever brighter.
Cries and screams came from inside the house.
Thick smoke billowed in through the cracks in the doors and windows.
The people inside the house were coughing violently and crying out for help.
"Please, please let us out."
"We haven't done anything wrong, why are you treating us like this?"
"We just want to live."
“Even if you want to burn all of us old bones to death, you should at least release these children.”
The Ottoman soldiers outside ignored their cries for help and pleas for mercy.
The women who had also been violated by the roadside got up one by one.
They rushed over without regard for anything else.
"What exactly do you beasts want to do?"
"The house is full of elderly people and children."
"Why burn them?"
However, these women's strength was far too weak.
Facing the charging women, the Ottoman soldiers revealed a sinister smile.
"Get out of here right now, or I'll throw you all into the fire pit and burn you to death."
The cries for help coming from inside the house grew louder and louder.
Even with their last ounce of strength, they could not escape the hellish inferno.
These Ottoman soldiers watched as the flames roared higher and higher.
These beasts were laughing loudly on the side.
They laughed heartily as they pointed at the enormous wooden house.
At that very moment.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
A series of crisp gunshots rang out.
Those carrying torches fell to the ground.
Everyone immediately panicked.
Li Yuanba, wielding two golden hammers, rode atop a cloud of mist and galloped all the way.
With a whoosh.
He swung out two golden hammers used for beating drums.
It was two hammers, each weighing 800 pounds, spinning rapidly in the air.
Puff puff puff...
Puff puff puff...
A sound of metal hitting flesh rang out.
Where the two hammers passed.
These Ottoman people were all knocked to the ground.
The others were taken aback and grabbed their weapons to fight back.
Just then, gunshots rang out again.
A hail of bullets rained down upon them.
The crowd fell to the ground in swathes, like wheat that had been cut down.
Swoosh! Two sounds.
The two golden hammers were back in Li Yuanba's hands.
Just then, Li Yuanba rushed to the front of the wooden house.
"Break for me..." Li Yuanba roared.
He swung the hammer violently.
He smashed the burning house down instantly.
Li Yuanba rode his horse and charged forward.
His soldiers threw out their chains.
Soon, the chains hooked precisely onto the wood.
They quickly swung their whips backward.
His warhorse quickly galloped to the side.
The blazing logs were all pulled aside.
Everyone inside the room was stunned.
Those who were saved were overjoyed.
They helped each other as they rushed out of the burning house.
The women hurried forward.
They were hugging their children and parents.
Everyone cast grateful glances at Li Yuanba and his companions.
"Gentlemen, I am Li Yuanba." Li Yuanba hung the two golden drum-shaped hammers on his horse. "I have come to rescue you on the orders of my lord. Are there any Ottomans nearby?"
How could the villagers know?
They just shook their heads blankly.
"Where else have you seen those beasts?" Several cavalrymen behind Li Yuanba stepped forward quickly.
"Thank you, heroes," an old Rakshasa man said, leaning on a cane as he walked forward unsteadily. "The nearby villages have been almost completely ravaged by the Ottoman Empire."
"They have ruined almost everyone in our village."
After he finished speaking, the old man knelt down, trembling.
"Don't kneel," Li Yuanba had no intention of wasting time arguing with these people.
Jiang Tian ordered Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba to attack the enemy from two directions.
