As the shouting was heard, the men Chu Tian had just seen suddenly roared, quickened their pace, and ran towards the direction where the shouting came from, holding their spears.

The dogs sleeping under the eaves were startled and opened their mouths wide, barking loudly in the same direction.

I don't know which dog was leading the charge, but dozens of dogs suddenly started running, following the men in the direction where the shouting came from.

Sharp shouts were heard from the messy thatched huts all around. Ragged women carrying kitchen knives and wooden sticks and half-grown children carrying wooden spears and bows rushed out of the huts, talking loudly and worriedly.

A boy wearing ragged linen clothes, who looked only about twelve or thirteen years old, holding a single sword, came out from behind a thatched house with a few companions of similar age. Suddenly, he saw Chu Tian standing against the wall and gasping for breath. The boy widened his eyes and shouted, "Yeah? Uncle, you are awake? Ha, I told you that when I found you, you looked like a dead person, but you were not dead after all."

The young man rushed to Chu Tian in a few steps and patted Chu Tian's arm enthusiastically: "Wow, you are still cold, uncle, are you possessed by evil spirits or what? However, after lying in bed for more than half a month, you finally woke up, which is not bad!"

Chu Tian looked at the boy and smiled with difficulty: "It was you who picked me up? I have to thank you very much, otherwise, I would have died."

Just as the young man was about to speak, a few wooden arrows flew in with a slight sound of breaking through the air and hit the roof of the hut. Two wooden arrows also floated down crookedly, and an old hen was hit by a wooden arrow and nailed to the ground with a "crack".

The old hen flapped its wings violently. It struggled with the light wooden arrow for a few times, and the arrow shaft was actually broken. Blood spurted out suddenly. The old hen ran around in pain, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Chu Tian was silent, he was really speechless. An arrow that could be broken by an old hen... This was the first time in his life that he had seen it!

The young man and several of his companions simultaneously clenched their weapons and shouted, "Let's fight, let's fight!"

The sound of weapons colliding could be heard from afar. Chu Tian heard the peculiar sounds of weapons cutting flesh and blunt instruments breaking bones.

Not long after, from the corner of the house where the few men had just run past, dozens of men in tattered clothes and covered in blood fled back in a panic. Dozens of dogs surrounded them, barking and roaring, and occasionally turned back to pounce on them.

A group of men wearing wrinkled black uniforms and dark red belts around their waists, some of the leaders even wearing a set of tattered half-leather armor on their upper bodies, were shouting and waving various weapons, chasing after the ragged men, shouting and killing.

A dog pounced forward and was hacked to death on the spot by the group of men in black.

A few men in black with cunning looks on their faces laughed and rushed forward hastily, grabbed the dog that was chopped to death, tied it up with hemp rope, and dragged it on the ground, following the large group of people.

On the shoulders of these guys, they had fluttering old hens, geese, ducks and other poultry tied with hemp ropes. With the bloody dogs in their hands, they looked like a group of bandits who broke into the farmhouse to rob!

However, judging from the words roared from the mouths of those ragged men, these guys are the so-called officers and soldiers they claim to be?

There were dull hoof sounds, and several green-skinned mounts that looked like horses but had a single horn on their heads and were a bit more robust than the dragon horses Chu Tian had seen rushed over quickly. Several strong men wearing black clothes, full-body leather armor covered with metal pieces, and holding steel spears rode wildly, making a huge arc and blocking behind these ragged men.

In the thatched hut at the back, dozens of men with blood on their bodies, obviously still injured, staggered out holding weapons.

They rushed towards the men on horseback, but the skills of these men were obviously not comparable to those of ordinary people. The steel spears in their hands swung and spun, sweeping out with a gust of wind, and dozens of men's wooden spears and single swords broke one after another, and were beaten to the ground and rolled around in embarrassment.

"Let's fight, let's fight!" The young men around Chu Tian shouted loudly and rushed out with the women.

They gathered five or six hundred people and rushed over like ants in a blast. But more people in black rushed over, panting and laughing and cursing loudly, and more than thirty soft wooden bows shot randomly, knocking down seventy or eighty people on the spot.

Then several strong men on horseback charged and crushed the team composed of young men and women to pieces. The men in black behind them attacked and smashed with weapons, knocking down more than a hundred people. The remaining people were in chaos and no longer had any resistance.

"Kneel down, kneel down! Drop your weapons!" Several armored knights shouted loudly and rode their horses in the crowd, roaring continuously. Wherever they passed, they kept waving their steel spears, knocking down young men and women to the ground.

A knight suddenly saw Chu Tian. Chu Tian exuded a faint chill and his skin was frozen into a blue-gray color. At first glance, he looked very strange. The knight snorted coldly, rode towards Chu Tian wildly, spun the steel spear in his hand, and lightly tapped Chu Tian's chest with the end of the spear.

Chu Tian had no way to dodge and could only watch as the steel spear hit his chest. He didn't feel anything, but his body was unstable and he crashed into the earth wall behind him, then fell headfirst into the thatched hut in a panic.

"You're a sickly person!" The knight swung his spear and flattened most of the thatched hut. He rode around the gray-haired Chu Tian twice and laughed loudly: "But you look quite strong. Even if you're a sickly person, you can still sell your head for money!"

Figures flashed around, and men in black uniforms kicked open the door and ran around laughing loudly.

Many old people, women, and children were forced out of their thatched huts and gathered together with weapons. Some men in black clothes and some ragged men who looked like beggars at first glance chased and caught the poultry and dogs with laughter.

The sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets was endless. Chu Tian saw many men in black, accompanied by a large group of helpers, carrying out a large number of odds and ends from the thatched hut.

Pots, pans, chopsticks, strainers, Chu Tian looked at these guys in amazement. They even took the baby's cradle and carried it out happily and stacked them together.

Are these officers and soldiers?

Chu Tian felt that these guys were even more bandit-like than bandits in their ability to plunder the land!

It’s not like Chu Tian hasn’t been in a bandit camp before. He grew up in the stronghold of the giant bandits in Zhen Sanzhou when he was a child. However, the giant bandits in Zhen Sanzhou were all doing big business. How could they even tie up other people’s chopsticks into a bundle with straw ropes and put them among the spoils?

Several thatched huts were set on fire.

Then more and more huts began to burn, and the small house was shrouded in smoke and flames.
