Chapter 221: An easy prison escape

This direction was not the direction of the camp, but another tent, which was not far from his tent, and which he had passed many times when he had gone out to vent in the wind, and after a long time, he had already figured out the details of this tent.

This tent was for the wounded soldiers, and there were three bedridden wounded soldiers living here, and few people came to this place in normal times, except for the soldiers who delivered food and the doctor who changed the dressing. Knowing what this tent has in place, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of the vice president here.

When the adjutant general arrived at the door of the tent, he first looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, and occasionally a few soldiers ran by in the distance, also covering their mouths and noses, and hurriedly ran forward with their heads down, and no one had time to notice him.

He shouted "good opportunity" in his heart, but instead of entering the tent immediately, he lifted the curtain with his hand and looked inside. He couldn't help but be overjoyed at this sight, only to see that there was already a lot of smoke in the tent, and the light inside was a little dim, but it could be clearly seen that only three wounded soldiers were lying on the covers, all of them covering their mouths and noses and hunched over and coughing.

At this moment, the adjutant general did not hesitate any longer, he rushed into the tent, picked up his sword, and struck the back of each wounded soldier's neck with lightning speed. The three wounded soldiers were wounded, unable to move, and smoked so thick that they saw someone breaking in, and they were put by the adjutant general before they had time to react, and they all fell unconscious.

The adjutant refused to stop for a moment, and he quickly stripped off the clothes of a wounded soldier who was about the same size as himself and changed it on himself. Although he has already reconnoitred the route out of the camp during this time, and now is also a good time to take advantage of the chaos to get out of the camp, but he is still wearing the clothes and armor of the Wei army, and it is impossible to get out like this.

Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to change into the military uniform of the Shu army, so that he could swagger out of the gate and mix out of the Shu army camp. What happened next was exactly as he had planned, and it went very well.

He walked all the way along the route that had been reconnoitred, avoiding several groups of patrols along the way, and when he arrived at the camp gate, he saw many soldiers hurrying in and out of the camp gate carrying wooden barrels, basins, and even toilets and other containers, apparently carrying water from the water source outside the barracks and entering the camp to fight the fire.

He dodged into an unoccupied tent, found a basin and came out, blended into the firefighting team, and followed them out of the camp. Many of the team covered their faces with wet towels and wore the same green uniforms as him, so he didn't attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the camp gate.

He walked out of the camp gate, followed the team to fetch water, and when he was almost at the water source, he made an excuse and turned into the grass next to the road, and then began his field stealth career.

The adjutant general thought that his plan was seamless, and no one knew about his actions, but he didn't know that his every move had already fallen into the eyes of those who cared about it. There were cleverly hidden observation posts in and around the barracks, from the time he first came out of the tent, to the time he went to the wounded barracks to change his clothes, and then to look for a basin to get out of the barracks, and finally to the time he hid in the grass and disappeared into the wilderness.

Not only that, but there are also two hot air balloons in the sky that have been specially transferred to monitor him and transmit information today, which shows that the monarchs and ministers of Shu attach great importance to this matter.

On a slope not far from the place where the adjutant general had escaped into the grass, a herald with several small flags on his back stood still, drew two small red flags and one green from his back, and waved them on the spot.

People who don't know how to do it still think that this person is convulsing, dancing there with two small flags, and they can't see any rules at all, and naturally they don't know what he's doing.

But the people present were all Shu soldiers, they didn't feel any surprise at all, they were used to seeing the herald of the flag, although the ordinary soldiers did not understand the flag language, and did not know what message the herald was conveying, but they all knew that he was not convulsive, but was passing on some kind of news.

Not only did the average soldier on the ground not understand the flags, but they didn't even know where the herald was delivering the message. Far up in a hot air balloon, a pilot was looking at the herald's flag on the ground from a telescope set up in an observation window, reading some words as he watched.

Another pilot next to him held a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, quickly jotting down what he read. His pen is not a brush that requires constant ink, but a pencil with a graphite core sandwiched between two pieces of wood.

This hard pen does not need to be stained with ink, is not afraid of spilling the ink in a turbulent state, making a mess, and can write continuously for a long time, is the best choice for marching and fighting, especially on hot air balloons.

The language of the flag is to express different letters and symbols through the different positions of the two flags relative to the body. It is not easy to express a meaning completely, especially the Chinese code, which is much more complicated than the English code, which is only 26 letters, and the herald on the ground danced for a long time to send the message to be delivered.

The pilot in charge of recording breathed a long sigh of relief, put away his pencil, picked up his notebook, and went to the workbench where the lights were sent, and pulled down the blackout screens of the white, red, green, and yellow lights, and the lights of the four colors were lit at the same time.

This is the starting signal to start transmitting the message, suspended on another hot air balloon in the center of the barracks, and the four lights flash three times at the same time, and then all go out, or rather, all are covered by a blackout screen, which is the signal to be ready to receive the signal.

As a result, the pilots here began to cover or reveal one or more of the four lights in turn, and the transmission of information officially began. The hot air balloon in the middle of the barracks also had a pilot who looked at the lights of the hot air balloon with a telescope, and then read the lights out of his mouth: "Red, yellow; white, green, yellow; White, red, green......

The other pilot also used a pencil to record in his notebook, and when all the signals were recorded, it was his turn to start signaling. However, the object of his signal was the ground, and after receiving the light signal on the hot air balloon, the two heralds outside the commander's tent in the center of the ground barracks took out a code book and translated the light signal recorded in the notebook.

After the translation was completed, the herald trotted into the tent, hugged his fist at Liu Hou, who was sitting at the top, and said, "Report!" A 101 sentry sent a message that 'Jiang Gan' had escaped into the grass two miles north of the camp, and was now heading north, and it was estimated that he would escape into the woods in two quarters of an hour, and that he might lose his sight at that time. ”

Jiang Gan is the code name of the lieutenant general, in fact, news like this has come many times, from the deputy general has not yet left the tent, that is, as soon as the campfire in the camp has just begun, there have been news from the observation posts scattered everywhere, it can be said that the whole process of this matter is well known to the people in the tent.
