Jiang Chuan was greatly annoyed by the Japanese attack on Weihaiwei.

He didn't know why the Black Ice Terrace, who had been looking for the traces of the Woko, hadn't been aware of the attack beforehand.

Of course, he also knew that this was not an easy task, the nest of the Japanese Kou was at sea, and Bai Jinxiu was short of manpower, and it had not been long since the operation began, so it was obviously unrealistic to expect them to be able to predict it in advance.

But he knew that if he couldn't hit the arrogance of the pirates hard this time, and made them pay the price tenfold or even a hundredfold, the raids would be more frequent and rampant.

Therefore, after consulting with Su Qin, he immediately gave Hu Zongxian an order to suspend his march to Jiangnan and make the Japanese as the primary combat target at present.

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

If you want to fight the Japanese pirates, you can't do it without a sailor. The strongholds of these pirates are generally located on islands in the sea, so the importance of sailors is incomparable.

At the same time, he asked Chen Zhaojun to take someone to contact Bai Jinxiu, so that he could rush to Weihaiwei with the people from Heibingtai to provide intelligence support for Hu Zongxian.

After the attack of the Japanese invaders, Hu Zongxian immediately sent people to Weihaiwei to rescue the survivors in case the Japanese invaders attacked again, and informed Di Qing, who was fighting outside, to rush to Weihaiwei quickly.

When Di Qing led his troops to Weihaiwei, he saw a ruined wall. Smoke was still rising in many places, ruins everywhere, and the city's dwellings were burned to the ground.

The first batch of soldiers to arrive were still busy. They gathered the bodies of all the victims. The rows of corpses were neatly stacked in the open space outside the city. Many don't even have heads.

Their heads were cut off by the pirates and hung on trees. And the soldiers who converged could not connect these heads to the corpses at all, because they did not know which one was which.

Seeing such a tragic situation, Di Qing's heart was already full of anger.

Although Jiang Chuan had said about the violence of the Japanese Invaders before, when he saw the atrocities of the Japanese Invaders with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to find the nest of the Wolves immediately and kill all of them, leaving no one left, so as to dispel his guilt and hatred for the Wolves.

The one who arrived in Weihaiwei with the first batch of officers and soldiers was a cavalry commander.

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

According to the commander, when they arrived, black smoke was billowing everywhere in Weihaiwei, many houses were even burning, and the city was littered with corpses.

Dead heads were hung everywhere on the trees, on the beams of the houses, and even on the city gates. There were many naked corpses by the wells and on the beach, all of them women who had been raped and killed by the Japanese robbers.

Among them, there are even gray-haired old people and young girls and children in their old age. The severity of his death is beyond description.

The commander is also the elite of Jiang Chuan's lineage, and he doesn't know how many fierce battles he has experienced with Jiang Chuan, but when he told Di Qing about the scene they saw, he was also pale and angry.

Only then did Di Qing know that the real tragedy was far more tragic than what he saw now.

His heart was already burning with rage, and he secretly vowed to kill all these widows, leaving no one behind.

But he knew this was not the time to be rash.

It is imperative to gather as much information as possible about the pirates, so as to gauge their strength and the probable location of their nests.

"Are there any survivors? Isn't there a guard unit in Weihaiwei? Di Qing asked with a cold face.

The commander said in a deep voice: "General, according to the surviving people, when the rogues occupied it, they once sent a team of about 1,000 people to camp here. Since our army attacked the capital of Clay Prefecture, this thousand-strong army has fled when they heard the news.

Later, a local gentry gathered hundreds of village warriors to form a temporary team. But when the Japanese attacked, the team of several hundred men collapsed at the slightest touch, and soon fled without knowing where to go.

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

Hearing this, Di Qing said with a cold face: "Send a group of men and horses to search for these deserters, they can't run far, and after finding them, they will all be arrested and brought back." Other than that. Find a few surviving people, I have something to ask. ”

The commander was ordered to find a few surviving civilians.

These surviving people, all with sad expressions, red and swollen eyes, obviously wiped away their tears just now.

They looked at Di Qing, who was dressed in military uniform, and knew that this was a great general, so they knelt down in front of Di Qing and cried.

"General, I beg you, you must avenge us, kill those beasts who are not as good as the widows, my father and my mother, our family is all dead, my daughter-in-law she..."

A tall man, unable to speak any longer, his voice choked and tears flowed down his face.

He stopped, knelt on the ground, threw his head on the ground, and cried with his hands in his hands.

After crying for a while, he began to slap himself again, crying and scolding himself: "Why should I chop wood, why! If I'm at home, I won't let those beasts get away with it! Even if I die, I have to protect my father and daughter-in-law...... I'm not human, I'm sorry for you......"

The man's cry aroused the emotions of several of the other survivors, and everyone began to cry.

Such a miserable scene made the surrounding soldiers unbearable one by one. Many people turned their heads away, unable to bear to look at it again.

Seeing this scene, Di Qing was not in a hurry to ask anything, so he could only wait silently for their emotions to be vented.

After a while, the people slowly stopped crying. After their emotions had completely calmed down, Di Qing began to speak:

"This eldest brother, the army of His Royal Highness the King of Qin. His Royal Highness King Qin is now the regent of the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness has heard of your misery, and has issued an edict to the king, asking General Ben to lead his troops to exterminate these widows and avenge the dead people. However, now that we know nothing about these Wakos, in order to find their lair and avenge your loved ones, please give us some information about the Wakos you have seen. For example, how many Japanese are there, what are their weapons, what weapons are there, and how they all enter the city, you should think about it. The more detailed you say, the sooner we can exterminate the Japanese and avenge the dead. ”

Di Qing tried his best to ask these surviving people in a friendly voice.
