However, at this moment, Wei Youqu's followers pointed in the distance with a look of horror.
Looking in the direction of his finger, a line of smoke and dust shot straight into the sky. Looking at that direction, it seemed to be the direction of Liekou City.
"Boost!"
Wei Youqu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something went wrong at this time?
If all those Han people were really dead, then this matter would be really troublesome.
After they rushed into the city gate, Wei Youqu was stunned.
Although this Liekou City was not originally prosperous, at the very least, it was considered one of the important cities along the coast of Wei's North Korea.
But now, the entire city has been reduced to ashes.
Thick smoke was billowing everywhere, and large tracts of houses had been completely burned down.
Countless people were displaced, and people burned alive by fires could be seen everywhere.
"What happened? Where is Jin Shengda?"
Wei Youqu's eyes suddenly turned red. He grabbed a disheveled soldier and asked fiercely.
"Yesterday, there was a sudden fire in the city last night. Your Excellency is still busy rescuing people..."
Looking at his fierce look and the luxurious robes he was wearing, the soldier stammered quickly.
"Damn it! Where are the imprisoned Han Chinese? Where are they now?"
As Wei Youqu spoke, his eyes turned red.
"This, this, I don't know..."
That soldier was just an ordinary soldier, how could he know so much useful information.
"Damn it! Go and find Jin Shengda!"
Weishi Korea itself is an island country, and this Lekou City is located on the seaside, so when houses were built, basically all the houses were made of wooden structures.
Such a house is indeed comfortable to live in, but it has many disadvantages.
The biggest one is that they are particularly afraid of fire. Once a fire breaks out, it will be a disaster for the entire city.
Therefore, people living in the city are actually very cautious about the use of fire. Although small fires have occasionally occurred over the years, there has never been such a serious fire.
Even thinking about it, I knew there must be another reason for such a big fire.
At this juncture, I am afraid that those Han people have either been rescued or silenced.
"Your Highness, why are you here in person?"
This city is not big to begin with, and now that something like this has happened, there are really fewer places for people to move around.
It only took about half an hour for Wei Youqu's followers to find the city lord Jin Shengda.
"Let me ask you, where are the captured Han people now?"
Wei Youqu asked bluntly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, there was a fire last night. I was afraid that something would happen to those people, so I imprisoned them all in my home!"
Jin Shengda said quickly.
"Take me there immediately!"
After hearing what he said, Wei Youqu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as those Han people are still alive, even if most of the city is burned down, it doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing.
"promise!"
Although he didn't know why Wei Youqu was so nervous about the Han people, Jin Shengda still didn't dare to show any slightness and took Wei Youqu all the way back to his home.
"Your Highness, do you smell the smell of blood?"
However, the attendant who had not yet entered the guard Youqu suddenly said.
"The smell of blood?"
Wei Youchang's heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door.
After entering the yard, Jin Shengda was completely thrown on the spot. The whole yard was filled with corpses.
All the corpses had arrows in their throats, and there were almost no signs of resistance...
"Madam, madam!"
Jin Shengda reacted immediately and ran toward the backyard with a heart-rending shout.
But there is no living person anywhere in this entire house...
At this moment, Wei Youqu's heart fell completely to the bottom.
Those Han people can't be seen alive now, and their dead bodies can't be found. They just disappeared from the world alive.
"Follow me! Chase toward the seaside. Give me the order to go down and send out the navy to pursue with all your strength."
Wei Youqu was completely panicked. These Han people were their negotiating capital, and they couldn't lose it at this time!
However, judging from the spots on these corpses, this person may have been out all night.
At this time, I am afraid that everyone has been picked up by ships and gone to unknown places.
Two hours later, more than twenty ships parked at the port outside the city were all dispatched urgently.
"Captain Wen, what are we waiting for? If we wait any longer, I'm afraid the navy troops outside the city will catch up!"
Although they successfully rescued people from the city, until now, they are still within the sphere of influence of Wei's North Korea.
Even these elites selected from the army are feeling a little scared now.
After all, they are invincible warriors on land and have an instinctive fear of fighting at sea.
"Don't worry, we still have to wait for them! If they don't catch up, how can the Jinyang destroy them all!"
Wen Ge said with a smile.
"this......"
After hearing what he said, the soldiers looked at each other in shock again.
However, they can't blame them for this. After all, they are actually not familiar with maritime combat in the first place.
In addition, they had never dealt with Wei's Korean ships and had no idea of the advantages of the spinnaker.
Naturally, they don't know what the advantages of the ship they are now on are.
Compared with those ships in Wei's Korea, the ships they are currently on can only carry less than forty people on board.
Moreover, there is basically only one trebuchet on this ship that can be used as a weapon.
However, their speed advantage is unmatched by the warships of Wei's North Korea.
Before Wen Ge set out, he went to the shipyard specifically to talk to the old shipwrights from the Shipping Bureau.
Moreover, I have privately compared it with those ordinary merchant ships. Basically, in the same sea area, whether it is headwind or tailwind, their ship speed is at least 40% faster than that of merchant ships.
With this speed advantage, no matter how many people there are on the other side, what's the use of no matter how big the boat is?
As long as we lead them to the deep sea, with the Jinyang and Kunpeng there, if these Koreans can come back alive, there will be no ghosts!
"Sir, they are coming!"
At this time, someone finally discovered that the warships of Wei's North Korea were chasing them.
"Come here, raise my big man's dragon flag and beat the war drum. Don't let them get lost!"
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Wen Ge's mouth. As long as they dare to come, today will be their doom!
