Chapter 88: Prison Break
"The Commander said, tomorrow morning I will behead you to show the public, and this delicious meal will be sent to you on your way! You eat slowly, I'll wait and get the plate. ”
With that, the soldier left the cell, and silence returned to the room.
He was still smiling in the last second, but after learning the bad news that he was about to be killed, Duan Hongguang's face was no longer happy. Even the flask in his hand, he forgot to lift it, obviously a big blow.
Obviously, he has already done all the tricks, and he also took the initiative to help the other party see through Huaxing's plan.
Even if there is no merit, there is hard work, right?
But the other party didn't appreciate it, and he had to kill himself!
Thinking of this, Duan Hongguang was angry and hateful, but he was also quite helpless.
Sometimes sighing, sometimes shaking heads, sometimes in a daze, but after a few minutes, I feel that the whole person is much older again.
But just as Duan Hongguang was about to accept his fate, he suddenly found that the chain on the door of his cell was actually open.
It may be that the soldier who delivered the meal just now was careless and forgot to lock it.
Seeing this scene, Duan Hongguang instantly rushed to the door, looked at the left and right, and found that there was really no one around.
After a short thought, he quickly made a decision: prison break!
Stay, there is only one dead end, it's better to try boldly, in case he really escapes, can he still pick up a life?
Driven by this thought, Duan Hongguang raised his arm and drank all the wine in the pot, pushed open the cell door and ran quickly towards the prison door.
The cells were not large, only five or six small cells in total. Without taking two steps, Duan Hongguang came to the gate.
Squatting on the ground and peeking out, he found that there were two soldiers guarding the door, blocking his way.
These two people, one is Xiao Wang, who just delivered him a meal, and the other is Lao Zhang, who is in charge of the security of the cell, is sitting outside the cell door at the moment, chatting about the sky while admiring the moonlight.
"Brother Zhang, we have been surrounded for so many days, there is not enough food, and we still have to eat chicken legs for that old man? I'm so mad just thinking about it! An enemy spy, as far as it goes? ”
"Hehe, you...... That old man is going to be clicked tomorrow, you can't even give a chicken leg, you kid is also bad, right? ”
"What's wrong with the click? Aren't we going to war tomorrow? It's hard to say whether you will be able to come back then! Why don't we have any fucking chicken legs to eat? Xiao Wang was still unconvinced.
"Alas, there are 3,000 of us, and we attack each other by 1,000, or when we can't see the ugliness of our fingers, how can we not come back? You're going to be yelling all day long! When we drive Lu Jun away, there will be chicken legs to eat in the future......"
As soon as he said this, a bell suddenly rang in the central hall of the cottage.
Hearing the sound, Lao Zhang was the first to get up and walked in the direction of the ring:
"Alas! It is estimated that Chief Liu summoned us to make pre-war plans. Let's go, I'll have to be trained again if I'm late! ”
Xiao Wang also nodded and followed, but just after taking two steps, he saw him stop and said:
"Brother Zhang, should I go and collect the plates and flasks in the cell first? Otherwise, when will you come back? ”
"Alas! What's the matter, and the flask can't run? What a! Let's go, it's really going to be trained! After speaking, Lao Zhang pulled Xiao Wang all the way to the cottage center.
After Zhang and Wang left, Duan Hongguang secretly poked his head out.
Through the dim moonlight, he vaguely saw that many people in the village were heading towards the hall.
In order not to be discovered, Duan Hongguang never dared to show up.
It wasn't until five or six minutes later, seeing that there was no one moving in the village, that he slipped out of the door, walked all the way to the side, and cautiously ran towards the northern pass.
Coming to the vicinity of the pass, Duan Hongguang first leaned over and hid behind a deer.
He thought that this place must be heavily guarded, but after looking at it for a long time, he found that there was not even a single soldier on duty at such an important pass, which surprised him.
After thinking about it, it is likely that the soldiers were also like Wang and Zhang, and they all went to the hall to listen to Liu Pi's battle plan, so there was no one for the time being.
For him, of course, this is a great thing!
So, Duan Hongguang didn't hesitate for a moment, and ran down the mountain.
……
Seeing that it was not early, Huaxing took Tang Sheng to the big tent in the army, ready to listen to the report of the second day.
After counting the number of people, there were only twenty-nine people in the tent, one less than yesterday.
After asking around, I found that Duan Hongguang had not yet returned to the team, and no one knew where he had gone.
Huaxing guessed that the old man might have gone there to be lazy again, and he would come back after a while, so he didn't think much about it and started today's report.
Under the temptation of heavy money, today's report scene is much more popular than yesterday.
After more than an hour, they collected a total of nearly 100 "clues".
In fact, there is not much really useful information, and there are only more than ten pieces in Manchuria.
But in order to encourage everyone's enthusiasm, Huaxing was still relatively generous when rewarding, and threw more than 40 taels of silver out this night.
Since the silver taels carried by Huaxing have been used up, today's reward money is "voluntarily" contributed by the deputy general Tang Sheng.
After the report was over, Hua and Tang sat on the ground and sorted out the information they had collected in the past two days.
Although Tang Sheng wrote down a lot of information, there were only sixteen really useful clues added together.
Of these, fourteen are related to going up the mountain.
After two days of careful investigation, they found a total of 14 paths that led them up the mountain.
But the end of these trails is not the enemy cottage, but the summit around the cottage.
As long as you climb to the top along the path, you can see the cottage at your feet.
But because the peak is too high, there is at least a ten-story distance from the cottage halfway up the mountain, and the mountain wall is extremely steep, and there is no place to stay, without the help of props, it is impossible for humans to climb down directly from the top.
Even with the help of ropes, in the Huaxing army, only Huaxing may be able to rely on strong arm strength to complete the unarmed fall.
The other soldiers, because they have never received relevant training, and their physical fitness is not good, let them challenge this difficult whereabouts, let alone themselves, even Huaxing is not very relieved.
So after thinking about it, Huaxing gave up this idea on the spot.
Of course, in the face of high-altitude falling, Huaxing did not consider using a parachute.
But when you think about it, it's even more unrealistic:
First, in a short time, he simply could not find suitable materials for the manufacture of parachutes.
Without a strong enough fabric, the impact is likely to tear the fabric apart, leaving the skydiver unprotected and eventually pulp.
Second, the surrounding peaks seem to be very high, but the distance between it and the cottage is only 50 or 60 meters at the highest point, which is far from the minimum requirement for skydiving.
Even the most advanced parachute in the 22nd century must have a minimum altitude of about 100 meters.
Below this altitude, no one can guarantee the safety of skydivers.
Therefore, even if Huaxing can build a parachute in a short period of time, just jump down at this distance, it is likely that the parachute has not yet opened, and the parachutist has already landed in a box.
So about skydiving, it was quickly left behind by Huaxing.
