The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 437 Horrible
Jiang Chuan was very angry about the Japanese pirates attacking Weihaiwei.

He didn't know why the black ice platform, who had been looking for the traces of the Japanese pirates, hadn't noticed the attack in advance.

Of course, he also knew that this was not an easy task. The Japanese pirates' lair was at sea, and Bai Jinxiu and the others were short of manpower, and it hadn't been long since the operation started, so it was obviously unrealistic to expect them to be able to predict in advance.

But he knew that if the Japanese pirates' arrogance could not be severely suppressed this time, and if they were made to pay ten times or even a hundred times the price, then the Japanese pirates' attacks would become more frequent and rampant.

So after discussing with Su Qin, he immediately ordered Hu Zongxian to suspend his march to the south of the Yangtze River, and take the Japanese pirates as the current primary combat target.

At the same time, Jiang Chuan sent people to order the navy to send the main force of the navy to Weihaiwei to wait for Hu Zongxian's dispatch, leaving only a small number of warships to block the canal.

To fight Japanese pirates, it is absolutely impossible without a navy.The strongholds of these Japanese pirates are generally in the islands on the sea, so the importance of the navy is unparalleled.

At the same time, he asked Chen Zhaojun to take someone to contact Bai Jinxiu, and let him take the people from Heibingtai to Weihaiwei to provide intelligence support for Hu Zongxian.

After the Japanese pirates' attack, Hu Zongxian immediately sent people to Weihaiwei to rescue the survivors to prevent the Japanese pirates from attacking again, and notified Di Qing, who was fighting outside, to rush to Weihaiwei quickly.

When Di Qing led his troops to Weihaiwei, what he saw was a ruined wall.Many places are still smoking, there are ruins everywhere, and the city and houses have been burned by Japanese pirates.

The first batch of soldiers who arrived were still busy.They collected the bodies of all the victims.Rows of corpses were neatly stacked in the open space outside the city.Many were even decapitated.

Their heads were chopped off by Japanese pirates and hung on trees.And the restrained soldiers couldn't connect these heads and corpses at all, because they didn't know which head was which.

Seeing such a tragic situation, Di Qing was already furious in his heart.

Although Jiang Chuan had mentioned the violence of the Japanese pirates before, when he saw the atrocities of the Japanese pirates with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. He wished he could find the lairs of the Japanese pirates immediately and kill them all. Only in this way can he dispel his guilt for these victims and his hatred for Japanese pirates.

It was a cavalry commander who rushed to Weihaiwei with the first batch of officers and soldiers.

The commander of the cavalry saw Di Qing coming, so he came to report the situation to Di Qing.

According to the commander-in-chief, when they arrived, black smoke billowed everywhere in Weihaiwei, many houses were still burning, and corpses were everywhere in the city.

On the trees, on the roof beams, and even on the gates of the city, there are dead heads everywhere.There are many naked corpses beside the well and on the beach, all of them are women who were raped and killed by Japanese pirates.

There are even gray-haired old people and young girls and children among them.The tragedy of his death is beyond description.

The commander-in-chief is also an elite of Jiang Chuan's lineage, and he has gone through many fierce battles with Jiang Chuan, but when he told Di Qing about the scene they saw, his face was livid and his anger was unbearable.

Only then did Di Qing realize that the real tragedy was ten times more tragic than what he saw now.

A raging anger had already been ignited in his heart, and he secretly vowed that he would kill all these Japanese pirates, leaving no one behind.

But he knew that this was not the time to be impulsive.

The most urgent task at present is to collect as much information as possible about the Japanese pirates, so as to judge their strength and possible lair locations.

"Are there any survivors? Doesn't Weihaiwei have any guards?" Di Qing asked with a cold face.

The commander said in a deep voice: "General, according to the surviving people, when the rogues took over, they sent a team of about a thousand people to station here. Hearing the wind, he fled.

Later, a local official called hundreds of village braves to form a temporary team.But when the Japanese attacked, the team of hundreds of people collapsed at the first touch, and quickly fled without knowing where they were going.

The entire Weihaiwei fell into the hands of Japanese pirates with almost no resistance."

Hearing this, Di Qing said with a cold face: "Send a team to search for these deserters. If they don't run too far, they will be caught and brought back after they are found. Also, find some surviving civilians. I have something to say." ask."

The commander was ordered to find a few surviving civilians.

These surviving people all looked sad, and all of them had red and swollen eyes, obviously they had just wiped away their tears.

They looked at Di Qing in military uniform and knew that he was a general, so they knelt down in front of Di Qing with a plop and began to cry.

"General, I beg you, you must avenge us, kill those Japanese pirates who are not as good as animals, my father and mother, our family is all dead, my wife..."

A tall and strong man, he couldn't continue talking, his voice was choked, and tears were streaming down his face.

He stopped, knelt on the ground, put his head on the ground and hugged his head in his hands, crying.

After crying for a while, he began to slap himself again, cursing himself while crying: "Why am I going to chop wood, why! If I were at home, I would never let those beasts succeed! I would die To protect father, mother and daughter-in-law... I am not human, I am sorry for you..."

The man's cry aroused the emotions of several other survivors, and everyone burst into tears.

Such a miserable scene made the surrounding soldiers unable to bear it.Many people turned their heads away, unable to bear to look any further.

Seeing this scene, Di Qing couldn't rush to ask any more questions, and could only silently wait for their emotions to be vented.

After a while, these people slowly stopped crying.After their emotions completely calmed down, Di Qing began to say:
"Brother, the army of our Highness King Qin. His Highness King Qin is now the Regent of Ming Dynasty. His Highness has heard about your tragic experience, and has issued a royal edict, asking this general to lead his troops to destroy these pirates and avenge the dead people. However, now we know nothing about these pirates. In order to find the lairs of the pirates and avenge your relatives, please provide us with some information about the pirates you have seen. For example, how many Japanese pirates are there? What kind of weapons are there, what weapons are there, and how they entered the city, you think about it carefully. The more detailed you explain, the sooner we can wipe out the Japanese pirates, and the sooner we can avenge the dead."

Di Qing tried to use a friendly voice to ask these few surviving people.
