At the command of Situ Changxiao, all the cults got busy immediately. Everyone got up and went to the surrounding woods to collect dry straws, bundled them into small handfuls, and took them to the place five hundred meters away from the gate of Quyou Canyon.
Having learned a lesson, Situ Changxiao was no longer acting recklessly as before. He didn't order them to approach immediately, but he let the archers shoot arrows with straws first and then shoot the arrows with fire to ignite the dry straws.
Only when the fire was burning did he have his cults slowly approach and throw more straws in.
The entrance to Quyou Canyon suddenly burst into flames. First, the bamboo pavilions on both sides burned, and then the fire spread to the trees behind the bamboo pavilions and the entrance gate.
