"Sir! The big thing is not good! The lieutenant colonel in the wing headquarters was assassinated on the street just now!"

A guard rushed in like a fire and shouted. When Zhao Hu and others chatting in the room heard it, they immediately jumped up.

Zhao Hu ordered immediately: "The cavalry immediately blocked the city gates and ordered the whole city to be in jail! The first brigade monitored the laborers! The rest of the troops were scattered in the streets to patrol martial law in a small team!" As he said that, he grabbed the weapons and rushed out of the door.

As Zhao Hu took off his steps, the sound of horns and horse hooves and commands immediately rang out in the county chief's mansion.

When they arrived at the place where the lieutenant colonel was attacked, several cavalry had already controlled the scene in advance, but this was a bit unnecessary, because there were no people around, and they all ran home.

Seeing Zhao Hu coming, the cavalry immediately reported: "Sir, the attack was a crossbow arrow shot from the house directly in front of us. We have searched the house, and there are no traces in it except the body of the owner of the original house."

At this moment, several cavalrymen quickly rode their horses from a distance.

Before the horse could stop completely, the cavalry jumped down and saluted and said, "Sir, I found three soldiers of the corps who were shot by crossbows on the Fifth Street!"

"Sir, after receiving the report, five soldiers from the wings were shot and killed at home by crossbows!"

"Sir, the two soldiers guarding the wing headquarters were shot and killed by crossbows after we went out! The First Battalion has sent a squadron to investigate everywhere!"

Hearing this series of news, everyone was stunned. Sun Jie, who was counting the number of people with his fingers, suddenly shouted in surprise: "Sir, it's not good! In this way, all the left-behind personnel of the Fifth Regiment were killed!"

"What?" Zhao Hu and others were all shocked.

"Sir, we must arrest the murderer immediately! You must know that this happened when the adults are responsible for the heavy responsibility of city defense. I don't know what they will think when the people from the Fifth Regiment come back." Sun Jie reminded with a serious expression.

He is very worried now. On the one hand, he is worried about how to explain to the Fifth United, and on the other hand, he is worried about this mysterious organization.

When I think of such a mysterious and rigorous organization, I stayed in the city, and my intelligence system knew nothing. What if the target of this assassination was an adult? It really made me sweat!

Zhao Hu immediately said: "Only except the First Battalion, the rest of the troops were transferred back to guard the city defense, the cavalry went to the streets to patrol, and loudly read out the reward of one thousand gold coins for those who provide clues! The only one who can go out is those who provide clues, and the rest of the people will continue to be confined!"

The cavalry immediately rushed to the streets and shouted loudly.

Just when the assassination occurred, the Fifth Regiment had arrived near its destination.

The old man, the colonel captain, began to issue tasks.

"Who will take a brigade to bluff over there?"

The lieutenant colonels present, especially the majors who served as brigade captains, all shook their heads like drums.

Bluffing means that there is no need to start a war. Without military achievements, there will be no promotion. If anyone under his command does not want to make more military achievements, he will probably blame his subordinates for running such a task.

The old colonel frowned, and he was helpless. He had no military achievements in this way, but could only be voluntary, otherwise he would be blamed.

At this moment, the third lieutenant colonel spoke out: "Sir, I'll go."

When everyone saw someone stand up, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they allocated a brigade to the third lieutenant colonel who was more difficult to be promoted to the next level or had been promoted to command.

The Fifth Regiment did not have rules that were not allowed to disrupt the organization, and they gave the task of front-line combat to soldiers who were easily promoted.

The third lieutenant colonel continued to move forward with about 600 people, while the remaining soldiers of the Fifth Regiment began to disperse and slowly moved forward with the help of weeds everywhere.

Weeds like this that still exist in winter snow are very common in this area. I don’t know why these plants are so powerful in vitality, and they will wither in other places.

As time faded, night fell.

Under the orders of the officers, the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment took out dry food and ate it. Then they cleared the snow, covered the fur, and lay on the ground to rest. The Fifth Regiment had performed many times on such a lurking attack mission, so there was no chaos at all.

The officers and soldiers knew the combat plan. Now, they were only a few kilometers away from the bandits' gathering place, and launched a sudden attack in the early morning of the next day.

As for why it was not discovered by bandits?

The task of the third lieutenant colonel is fake? He is the third officer in the corps except the corps commander, and he is definitely a trustworthy officer. Didn’t he see a bandit patrolling the mountain? He must have been attracted by the third lieutenant colonel.

When there was nothing to say all night, just dawn and I couldn't see the surroundings clearly, the soldiers who had already been frozen and had their clothes hard under the leadership of the officers, carefully moved their bodies, took out the dried food with peppers and ate them, and their bodies began to continue sneaking.

The soldiers were all a little tired, not because they were cold, but because they didn't sleep well. Who said that it was winter now, and they had to get up at least dozens of times a night to avoid being frozen.

However, no one cares about such sad things. Practicing naked in the snow is a basic skill. Now wearing thick leather jackets, it is even more important to take them seriously.

This time, the stroll will be until the bandits gather or are discovered by bandits. However, even if they are discovered by bandits at such a distance, it is nothing great. With a few kilometers of distance, bandits can't escape anywhere.

Although it was a bit regretful to follow the third lieutenant colonel who showed off his power on the other side of the hill, he also knew that since his merits could not be made in a short time, it was normal to give the opportunity to his brothers.

At the same time, they were also a little happy. After all, they didn't have to eat dry food like the brothers on the other side, and lie in the snow to spend the night.

I am completely in a regular marching style. At night, I set up a tent, lit a bonfire, and had a hot dinner. If I hadn't been alert to the bandits' attacks, it would have been a camping activity.

It was dawn, and the soldiers gathered for early training. Several lieutenants asked the third lieutenant colonel with confusion: "Sir, the lower officer thinks it is a bit strange. Even blind people can discover it when we march with such a big fanfare.

"Especially the bonfire at night, you can see it within a radius of hundreds of miles. Why are there no bandits attacking? Could it be that the information is wrong? It's just that a hundred bandits gather here?"

The third lieutenant colonel looked at the snow-covered forests around him and frowned.

"It's really strange, but we sent dozens of spies to confirm that there are indeed thousands of bandits gathering here. Well, no matter whether there are so many bandits here, it is certain that there are bandits gathering. As long as the team leader launches an attack, you can know.

"Although the victory of this battle can be said to be ours and we do not bear the attack mission, we must be careful not to take advantage of the bandits. Major Mark's entire army was wiped out by the last moment."

"Yes!" Although the lieutenants did not think that Mark's new recruits could be compared with those of them, they also believed that the third lieutenant colonel's words were a famous saying, so they sincerely agreed.

"Okay, after the soldiers finish the training, they will disperse to the left and right sides with the team's organization. We must make a mountain search posture to attract the attention of the bandits so that the corps leader can take advantage of the situation to launch an attack." said the third lieutenant colonel.

"Yes." The lieutenants hurriedly took the order.

The soldiers who received the order were happy. Their mission this time was to attract the enemy's attention, so in addition to being alert to the enemy's trace, they could also take the opportunity to hunt and change the food.

Seeing the soldiers entering the mountainous area in groups of three or three, the third lieutenant colonel showed a meaningful smile on his face.

On the main side of the Fifth Regiment, everyone was running quickly in the grass.

Be prepared and beware of attacks in the grass. Everyone finds it a bit weird, because not only does not have any attacks, but also has not even encountered a small animal.

No other sounds were heard around me except for the footsteps, breathings, and the sound of plucking grass.

The old colonel, who felt something was wrong, immediately shouted to stop, and everyone immediately subconsciously formed a circle and nervously paid attention to the surrounding environment.

The environment here is a small flat land full of weeds with one person. Because the weeds cannot withstand the snow, they look yellow and green, and are surrounded by slightly higher mountains and forests, covered with snow and white.

This kind of geographical environment has been like this all the way, and there is nothing strange about it. It just seems that the temperature here is relatively high, the weeds appear very wet, and the ground looks a little muddy. However, this climate is also common in this area, so no one cares.

After everyone stopped, the feeling of anxiety immediately surged into everyone's hearts because it was too quiet. Not to mention, there was not even a bird's cry, and even the wind could not be heard.

The old colonel frowned and looked around, but found nothing.

The old colonel couldn't help but pace back and forth a few steps. At this moment, the old colonel found that the soles of his feet were soft, and squatted down and grabbed a handful of ginseng and snow-water mud with his hands. Rubbed his fingers for a while, and found it a little greasy. The old colonel's face changed and immediately shouted anxiously: "Get out quickly!"

Hearing this order, everyone was stunned. Although they didn't understand why they were about to launch an attack and suddenly evacuated, their long-term habits made them follow the commander of the regiment and immediately turned around and ran.
