Zhang Chen did not want to test the law with his own body since he did not have a deep understanding of the court's armaments.
Therefore, he could only avoid conflict with the garrison.
Later on, he accidentally learned that the garrison army's governor, Shi Yan Jue, was not in Tingzhou. Only then did he begin to boldly arrest corrupt officials and evil gentry.
But even so, he did not make a move personally to avoid being shot by others.
In those movies and dramas in his previous life, so many invincible experts were killed in inexplicable ways because of recklessness. How could Zhang Chen not take this as a warning?
Therefore, he had always tried his best not to make a move.
If he could let others do it, he would try not to do it himself.
He had to hide his martial arts as deeply as he could. This was the trump card of the An family and could not be used easily.
Wisdom was enough to obtain status and wealth.
" Now that His Majesty's personal army has arrived," Ye Qingxian asked again," it should be time to settle the Tingzhou tax case. When do you plan to close the net?"”
"Just one or two days!" Zhang Chen nodded. He had to be patient and wait to see if there would be any more monsters.”
Although most of the people involved in the tax case had been dug out, there must be some people that Jiang He did not know about.
If they could arrest these people, the reward would definitely be more generous when the case was finally closed.
The other party had yet to show up, so Zhang Chen did not mind waiting a few more days.
If he really couldn't wait, it wouldn't be too late to pull the net back.
……
After some preparation, Shi Yan Jue brought the Tingzhou officials and the garrison.
"Surround the entire mountain!”
Tingzhou Garrison only had 10,000 people, and they were usually scattered around the counties.
Now that they were gathered together, it was indeed a powerful force.
Seeing such a powerful army, the Tingzhou officials felt much more at ease.
They didn't dare to leave the military camp, fearing that they would be discovered by the elusive experts of the Azure Dragon Village.
"Lord Shi has managed the garrison army in an orderly manner. It's really Tingzhou's luck!”
"That's right! Looking at the majestic figures of the garrison army, they were really rare elite soldiers!”
"With such an elite soldier, Azure Dragon Village will definitely not be able to stop them. As long as we can take down the imperial envoy, we can continue to do whatever we want, haha!”
"Lord Shi, quickly attack the mountain! I can't wait to see the imperial envoy's face of despair!”
Shi Yan Jue listened to the compliments of the officials and said proudly,""When this official steps out, it will naturally be easy to capture. All of you, watch carefully!”
He looked around and suddenly realized that Tongzhi Wu was not there. He could not help but frown."Why isn't Wu Tongzhi here? Where did he go?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one noticed when Wu Yong had disappeared.
Seeing that no one knew, Shi Yan Jue said impatiently,""Forget it, let's not care about him. Let's attack the mountain first!”
Following the order, the soldiers of the garrison began to raise their shields and climb the mountain.
The scouts of the Azure Dragon Village had already discovered that the garrison was attacking the mountain, so they were prepared.
On the 3600-step mountain path, there was a wooden fence at regular intervals.
Rolling wood, Orirocks, bows and arrows were all prepared.
Seeing that more and more guards were pouring into the mountain path, the Azure Dragon Village's minions hurriedly threw out the rolling wood and raw stone.
After throwing the rolling wood and raw stones, he shot them with his bow and arrows.
However, the shields of the garrison were very large, and the lethality of bows and arrows was far inferior to rolling wood and raw stones.
The garrison troops did not just stand there and do nothing. They fired back with their bows and arrows while taking out a giant crossbow that was loaded with a capstan.
Arrows and arrows were fine, but shooting from a low place to a high place was inevitably not lethal enough.
The key was the terrifying giant crossbow!
This kind of giant crossbow was as thick as a goose egg and three zhang long. Its entire body was made of fine steel, and it could directly tear a person into two if it hit them.
When it hit the wooden fence, it could also break the wooden fence in half.
The battle between the two sides was in full swing. Someone fell every moment, and the mountain path was soon dyed red with blood.
At the end of the mountain path, Zhang Chen and Ye Qingxian were also watching the battle.
Because Shi Yan Jue had suddenly sealed off the city gates, the six gold-medal constables and the elites led by the three leaders of Azure Dragon Village were trapped inside the city.
Therefore, most of the people in the village were lackeys. The only ones who could be called masters were Zhang Chen and Ye Qing Xian.
The current situation was indeed as Zhi Wu Yong had expected. Without external interference, Azure Dragon Village would not be able to withstand the attack of the garrison.
Zhang Chen looked at it for a moment and suddenly said,""Get the people on the mountain path to retreat and send a signal to the Vermillion Bird Army to attack the garrison from behind.”
The Vermilion Bird Legion was the troop that Martial Emperor had sent to Tingzhou.
Ye Qingxian took out a firework and lit it up. A red flame instantly shot into the sky and turned into a bright red firebird.
At the same time, the minions on the mountain path also began to retreat up the mountain.
When Shi Yan Jue saw the firebird in the sky, his expression suddenly became fearful.
As a general, how could he not know what this firebird represented?
"Vermilion Bird signal? How could it be the Vermilion Bird signal? Could it be that the Vermilion Bird Legion had arrived? How is this possible?"
The other civil officials did not know what the Vermilion Bird signal meant. When they saw the minions on the mountain beginning to retreat, they shouted and urged Shi Yan Jue to advance.
At this moment, there was a commotion behind the garrison.
Shi Yan Jue turned around and his face turned as pale as paper.
