Cao Jie was completely baffled.
"Damn it, you bastards, we can't count on you. Brothers, draw your swords and follow me into the fray!" Cao Jie roared.
Several people rushed towards the door.
With a loud bang, Cao Jie kicked the door open.
Just as one of them was about to rush in, an arrow shot out, piercing his chest like a dazzling meteor.
The arrow pierced through the chest, its force greatly reduced, and then struck the face of the person behind it.
Only then did they realize that arrows were being shot out from inside.
Upon hearing Cao Jie's shout, Luo Xiaohu immediately led his men to kick open the back gate and rush inside.
"You audacious thief, daring to cause trouble in the lord's courtyard! Kill him!"
Luo Xiaohu and his men were dressed in bright armor and carried lances.
As the saying goes, "An inch longer, an inch stronger."
This eighteen-foot-long lance is far more powerful than the short swords these guys are carrying.
When Cao Jie saw dozens of men in bright armor rushing in, he was instantly terrified.
"Retreat..." someone in the group shouted.
“We can’t retreat,” Cao Jie quickly calmed down. “We’ll rush into the house.”
Cao Jie knew that if they all rushed to the gate in a panic, trying to escape, it would be impossible.
The backyard gate was too small to accommodate dozens of people evacuating at the same time, so there was only one outcome for them.
Then let them all get stabbed to death one by one at the courtyard gate.
Upon hearing what Cao Jie said, everyone rushed towards Jiang Tian's room.
Jiang Tian quickly drew out several arrows, pulled back the bowstring sharply, and swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
Several arrows shot straight toward the door.
Puff puff puff...
The sound of arrows piercing flesh rang out continuously. The men charging at the front had no way to dodge; they were hit in the face by arrows.
They all collapsed at the doorway.
"Damn it, I've been shot with an arrow."
"It's impossible to get in."
"My eyes."
"My eyes are going blind."
"We can't get in."
The guys who fell to the ground all let out screams of pain.
Luo Xiaohu and his group attacked at an extremely fast pace.
They have already formed ranks.
The backyard isn't big; it's only about ten meters from the front door to Jiang Tian's room.
They'll be there in just a few seconds.
"Thrust..." Luo Xiaohu roared, and a forest of lances shot straight at the backs of these guys.
Puff puff puff...
Puff puff puff...
Puff puff puff...
After Luo Xiaohu and his men thrust their spears in, they pulled them out and thrust them in again.
Those who didn't rush into Jiang Tian's room were riddled with holes.
One by one, they fell to the ground.
[Ding, Cao Jie's rage value +999]
[Ding, Wang Shou's rage points +888]
[Ding, from...]
These guys have contributed another batch of anger points to Jiang Tian.
Everyone realized it. If they didn't go in now, there was only one fate for them: to be riddled with bullets by dozens of spears.
Jiang Tian quickly took out a sharp knife from the system space.
A guy rushed to the door, but he tripped and fell.
With a thud, he fell to the ground.
Jiang Tian rushed over quickly, picked up a dagger, and stabbed it into the back of the guy's head with lightning speed.
Jiang Tian then quickly moved aside.
Bang! Jiang Tian kicked the door shut.
It's practically impossible for these guys to break in.
Luo Xiaohu and his men's attack was too fierce; most of them had already been killed.
The remaining people had already realized that they couldn't break into Jiang Tian's room, nor could they defeat Luo Xiaohu behind them.
With a thud, someone quickly knelt down on the ground.
"Let us go. We didn't do anything. We just wanted to steal something."
“We didn’t want to kill for money. We didn’t steal anything. We don’t deserve to die,” Cao Jie shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Everyone lie down properly! If anyone moves, I'll poke a hundred holes in him!" Luo Xiaohu roared.
Cao Jie and the others could only quickly lie down on the ground.
"Tie them all up."
"promise……"
In no time, the group tied Cao Jie and his men up.
"My lord," Luo Xiaohu quickly knelt on one knee, "the courtyard is safe now. I wonder if you are injured?"
Jiang Tian walked out of the courtyard and kicked Luo Xiaohu, sending him sprawling on his back.
What were you all doing just now?
"If those thieves had been any faster, I would have lost my life here."
"My lord, I was negligent in my thinking, and I deserve to die."
Jiang Tian glanced at Cao Jie and the others, then turned to look at Luo Xiaohu: "You guys are sleeping soundly in the front yard, aren't you? Didn't you arrange for anyone to patrol?"
"My lord, I deserve to die. I saw so many villagers busy at the village entrance. I never expected that thieves would come to commit evil deeds."
"Smack..." Jiang Tian kicked him again. "If you're all this careless and negligent in battle, are you prepared to hand your heads over to the enemy?"
"I wouldn't dare."
"Remember this: once you put on this armor, you are my soldiers. Anyone who is careless and causes disaster will not be spared."
"You'd better remember this today. This can't happen again."
Luo Xiaohu nodded, and everyone else nodded as well.
"Who is Cao Jie?" Jiang Tian shouted at the group of people who were tied up.
Cao Jie was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know how Jiang Tian knew his name.
The guy immediately sensed something was wrong.
He quickly lowered his head, and then all the dozen or so people gestured towards Cao Jie with their lips: "The one kneeling at the very front is Cao Jie."
"Jiang Tian, we were all instigated by Cao Jie to come here today. None of us wanted to come, but that guy said so."
Upon hearing this, Cao Jie immediately flew into a rage.
They had just agreed to live and die together, but before Jiang Tian could even ask anything, these guys confessed everything.
Everyone knows the principle of sacrificing a friend to save oneself.
Cao Jie is the leader. If we betray Cao Jie, Jiang Tian might be lenient and let them go.
Dogs fighting, a mouthful of fur.
“Explain the whole story clearly. Whoever explains it clearly, I’ll consider letting them go. Otherwise, these corpses on the ground will be your example.”
Looking at the dozens of corpses lying on the ground, everyone was afraid that in this chaotic world, human life was the least valuable thing.
No one is unafraid of death, and no one wants to die.
"Confess now, or you bastards will all die." Luo Xiaohu kicked two people to the ground.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you… It was all arranged by Cao Jie. His eighth brother was a shaman who was pushed off a cliff and died a while ago. He wanted to avenge his brother.”
"They wanted to kill you, Jiang Tian, and kidnap the two girls beside you."
