Chapter 299: Escape
After Angelo took the order and left, Antonio, another of Zhang Yi's subordinates, also moved cautiously.
"Boss, Doctor Holy Light said that the medicine he is carrying now is no longer enough to support your next intense exercise, if you really want to start moving, can you still support it?"
Before Antonio was captured, he was a wandering medicine dealer in Persia, often going back and forth to the border between the two countries to sell medicinal herbs to the poor at low prices, but as the war began, the Babylonians could not care what nationality you were, as long as you caught it on Persian soil, it was considered a captive.
Similarly, most of the medicinal materials used by the Holy Light as a Persian military doctor were obtained from Antonio's channels, and later when he came to the Babylonian military camp, the Holy Light also deliberately reserved a position as an apprentice in the name of Antonio, because Antonio Zhang Yi had other uses, and his position as a follower was replaced by Angelo.
As for Antonio, he had his own way of selling medicinal herbs to and from the border between the two countries, and he could quietly deduce the victory or defeat of the Babylonian army by the movement of supplies in the Babylonian military camp.
If it is a normal day, this ability seems to be very weak, but looking at the present, it can already be used as Zhang Yi's weather vane.
With him and Angelo, Zhang Yi can grasp the time to escape.
But Antonio and the Holy Light got closer, and he also knew who the Holy Light needed a lot of medicinal materials for, and he knew that Zhang Yi was seriously injured, and he wavered about his intention to lead everyone to escape.
Zhang Yi knew it, didn't say it, and directly planned to prove it with practical actions.
"I'm fine, the Holy Light is just worrying." Zhang Yi replied casually.
Antonio shook his head and sighed, "Healer's parents, I think the Holy Light's worries are very necessary. Boss, we still have too few people, and we need at least twenty or more people to prepare for prison escape. ”
"Twenty people, there are four of you, me, Angelo, and Holy Light, and I'm still looking for the other manpower, but it's too difficult to reach twenty."
Besides, not everyone is like Angelo and Antonio, who have the psychological literacy that can make Zhang Yi look at it, if he accidentally recruits someone with fragile psychological capacity, not to mention that he can't hide things, he really wants to start an escape operation, and he shows his cowardice before he runs out of the gate of the barracks, and he will hurt the whole team.
A few days ago, Zhang Yi noticed that some Babylonian soldiers took turns looking at these captives, and there was actually no oil or water to fish, and when he complained, he successfully bought him off by contacting a soldier, of course, this soldier did not come often, but every time he came to tell Zhang Yi something about what happened in their military camp.
Like today, because the Babylonians have won another battle, they plan to celebrate with a big feast and carnival for one night, and the kitchen also specially brings in a lot of delicious Billy Blue Ox.
"Billy Blue Bull? It is said to be a muscular cow, and the breeder often makes the cow fit in order to ensure that the meat is delicious? ”
Antonio listened and exclaimed in amazement.
It seems that Babylon won an extraordinary victory, and their generals were generous enough to buy so many Billy Blue Oxen as a reward for their soldiers.
"Alright, thank you, I'll pay you to the account."
The messenger soldier left in a low-key manner, and Zhang Yi turned around and said to Antonio: "Wait for the Holy Light and Angelo to come back, and tell them that we will act tonight." ”
"Tonight!? Boss, wouldn't it be too hasty? Antonio said in surprise.
"No, it's just right, if the Babylonian soldiers hadn't said anything about their purchase of the Billy Blue Ox, I'd still be worried about how to create chaos and run out, but now it's better to doze off and bring them their own pillows." Zhang Yi smiled, and his whole mind couldn't help but become relaxed.
"In order to ensure that the Billy Blue beef they ate at the feast is fragrant and tender, they will definitely slaughter it on the spot, and we just need to provoke the Billy Blue Ox before that and let a herd of cattle go on a rampage, and the Babylonians will not be able to shoot indiscriminately at their own barracks, and neither the cattle nor their own people are afraid of being injured by mistake, in this case, won't our chance to escape come?"
Listening to Zhang Yi's words, Antonio's eyes lit up, and if he thought about it carefully, this was indeed the truth.
The frenzied herd was difficult to subdue, and the entire Babylonian camp was in chaos, and it was a good time for them to escape.
"Well, I'll let them know when they come back. Until then, boss, we need to find some helpers. ”
Zhang Yi nodded, and then walked over to the helpers he had observed these days and thought could assist the escape.
In the evening, as the sun began to set in the west, the light in the barracks became dim, and then the well-lit searchlights were turned on, and the camp was as bright as day.
Because of the previous battle, the men who were transferred were either still stationed at the front line, or they heard that the general was going to have a big feast and returned to the barracks to wait for the revelry.
When the soldiers rarely relaxed, their vigilance dropped a little, and they still talked in twos and threes.
The quarters at the rear of the barracks were also busy, with a few cooks sharpening their knives and preparing to slaughter the Billy Blue Ox.
At this time, a figure walked by quickly, it was Zhang Yi, he asked Angelo to control the wind at the door, slipped into the room by himself, set a fire casually, and then used a wooden stick to pick up the spark and ran to the cowshed where Billy Blue Bull was kept.
A group of cattle watched the fire approach, and really roared in place, mooing and screaming, in front of these muscular and strong and tall cows, Zhang Yi's figure was completely covered.
He was not afraid of being discovered, because the group of Babylonian cooks had already run back to the house to put out the fire while no one was paying attention to the cowshed, and Zhang Yi took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the cowshed.
One of the cows was in pain, and broke the fence in front of it, and the ropes that held it were tightened, and the main trunk of the cowshed shook one after another, so that all the cows were restless.
"Go ahead!" Zhang Yi lit a fire on the hay near the cowshed again, and now all the Billy Blue Cattle were forced out of their potential by the life crisis, and they frantically slammed their heads around, and then ran away.
Originally, the Babylonian soldiers were still waiting for the celebration feast to begin, but the house caught fire, and Billy Blue Bull ran wildly, throwing joy and running into people everywhere, causing everyone to live in peace.
The celebration banquet turned into a cattle catching scene in an instant, and their relaxation time was also soaked in the soup, and they hurriedly ran around to catch cattle in the roar of the general above, and the scene was not chaotic.
At this time, Zhang Yi and Angelo had already returned to the place where the prisoners were imprisoned, and it happened that a cow also ran to this side, causing the Babylonian soldiers to rush back to get their guns.
Under the rush of cattle, the large container holding the captives also opened a gap large enough for several people to pass through, and then, without Zhang Yi speaking, the Persians who saw the hope of escape all flocked out.
"Run, the Babylonians are coming!"
Things were going so well that both the Light and Antonio were a little confused.
It wasn't until Zhang Yi pulled their arms one by one and dragged them to the military tricycle he drove that the two of them woke up like a dream.
"So you escaped? It's incredible. ”
"Of course, it's not all. I contacted some people beforehand, and they had a feud with the Babylonians, just like Angelo, and they would do whatever it took to cover our departure, and then they would take advantage of the chaos to enter the barracks and kill the culprits who slaughtered their families that day. ”
Angelo opened his mouth and finally turned into a thank you.
Four people crammed into such a military tricycle was inevitably crowded, so on the road, not only to facilitate the change of equipment and run away, but also to hide people's eyes, Zhang Yi grabbed a Babylonian transport van, which was spacious, and several people did not have to continue to squeeze together to make canned sardines.
"Boss, where are we going next?"
"I don't know, but I always have to leave the war zone first, and then get some necessities and medicine." As he spoke, Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and glanced at his ribs.
Sure enough, it was still too reluctant, and this series of rushes caused the wound that he had only been stitched up for a long time to burst.
Shengguang heard that Zhang Yi's tone was wrong, and took the time to take a look at the driver's seat, only to see that there was blood everywhere, Zhang Yi was still driving stiffly, so anxious that he yelled and made a fuss, and was busy trying to stop Zhang Yi from continuing to drive.
