Li Hongzhang never thought that with his trip to Beijing, Li Hongzhang left a huge aftermath for the Sino-Japanese war.

In Zhang Yi's words, the Japanese army must be defeated in one fell swoop, its main force must be completely annihilated, so that it has no room for maneuver in Korea, and then turn around in order to deal with possible changes in the country, because Zhang Yi is really not worried about which old soldiers in the country can deal with the well-trained Japanese army.

Zhang Yi sent all the tribulus terrestris to Seoul to inquire about the Japanese army's plan to attack Kaesong. This time, no matter what, we must be the first to anticipate the enemy's aircraft.

On November 2, the Japanese army rushed straight to Kaesong, this time by Tachimi Naowen, Zhang Yi was too cunning, we concentrated the army to attack, once transferred into his trap, the lack of reinforcements, it is easy to cause the plan to fail. It is better to divide the troops to attack, the two armies, one main and one auxiliary, echo each other, not too far apart, one is lost, and the other is immediately supported.

Since the strength of the two sides is equal, it is not advisable to divide the troops to attack, and it is best to concentrate the forces and force Kaecheng, so as to avoid being broken by the Kaicheng Qing army. Dashanyan thought that what he said was reasonable, and mobilized nearly 30,000 troops, opened the way with a cavalry wing, and the follow-up brigade followed up and forced Kaecheng.

Zhang Yi had already prepared the cage early, just waiting for the Japanese army to come in.

On the afternoon of 3 November, the advance of the Japanese army arrived at Zinan Mountain, and the cavalry wing of the vanguard roared through Zinan Mountain and went straight to Songyue Mountain. Tan Feng on the mountain looked at it coldly, the Japanese cavalry wing passed, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese brigade, the cavalry wing had its own others to deal with, and what he had to deal with was the Japanese infantry in the rear brigade!

Tan Feng watched the Japanese infantry slowly approaching the area where the Qing army set up an ambush, and he couldn't help sweating in his palms, he only brought five battalions here, two thousand people, once something happened, then his two thousand people were cannon fodder under the Japanese artillery fire, and the Japanese army here had nearly 20,000 people, ten times his own.

Tan Feng commanded to the people below in a deep voice: "Attention, no one is allowed to shoot or pull the fire rope without my order, wait for the advance of the Japanese army to pass, when the Chinese army comes up, we will bloom in the middle and cut the Japanese army into two sections!" ”

The people around him quickly conveyed Tan Feng's order, although Tan Feng was not their military director, but everyone knew that Nie Shicheng and Zhang Yi valued Tan Feng, this is the famous Blue Wolf Five Tigers, everyone is a ruthless character! No one in the pipe bands of several large battalions has dared to tease Tan Feng's tiger whiskers!

Tan Feng saw that the Japanese army had almost passed, and the Browning pistol in his hand was raised into the air, "Smack!" Syllable! Syllable! "Three shots in a row!

The mine fuse held by the Qing army on the mountain was pulled at the same time, and Zinan suddenly fell into a sea of fire at the foot of the mountain, and the Japanese troops under the mountain were directly sent into the sky without warning, and the severed arms and stumps flew all over the sky! These were 2,000 lead mines, and when they exploded together, the entire mountain road was blown up beyond recognition, and the Japanese troops were shocked to the point that their ears were bleeding, and they were in chaos.

Fortunately, Oyama Iwa and Yamachi Genji had not yet stepped on the minefield, and there were still tens of meters away from the edge of the minefield, even so, the two people and the staff officers beside them were also swept off their horses by the air waves, and Oyama Iwa was almost trampled by the panicked mount.

This is a purgatory, the smoke and dust in the sky, gradually dispersed, only to see about a mile long mountain road, there is no longer a single or Japanese soldier, all are mutilated corpses, even if there are no Japanese soldiers who were killed, they were also shocked by the violent explosion and died of internal organs bleeding, this is completely a hellish scene, a mile long journey, no less than four or five thousand Japanese soldiers, just like that!

Seeing such a scene, Da Shanyan had just been helped up, his heart hurt, a mouthful of blood spurted out directly, and he fainted.

Mountain Yuanzhi's heart is also dripping blood, in less than a minute, four or five thousand imperial soldiers are all shattered, such a huge loss! Most of these dead soldiers were the main force of their own division!

At the same time as the Japanese army panicked, the mortars of the Qing army on Zinan Mountain also began to fire. Zhang Yi concentrated all the mortars in the Qing army camp here, together with the blue wolf battalion, all the requisitioned here, the mountains here are steep, the heavy artillery can not be transported at all, and it is not conducive to concealment, so dozens of mortars are concentrated here.

In an instant, dozens of shells poured down on the Japanese position, and the unsuspecting Japanese army was beaten to the ground, and Yamachi Motoji roared angrily: "Order the front army to quickly assemble and fight in concealment!" Artillery, artillery! Immediately lock on to the opposite peak for me, and blow up the opposite peak for me! The rear army immediately stopped advancing and slowly retreated! ”

The rear of the Japanese army was the main force of the 1st Division and the elite of the Japanese army.

But do they still have a chance to withdraw?

As soon as the Japanese army retreated less than two miles, the Qing army behind had already blocked the retreat. Tang Keqiang led the first battalion of 5,000 people to block the back road, Zhang Yi in order to be able to withstand the madness of the Japanese retreat, two artillery battalions were allocated to Tang Keqiang's first battalion in one go.

Tang Keqiang stood in front of the temporary position of the first battalion, full of spirit, this time he said that he would leave the main force of the Japanese army and avenge the admiral. Tang Keqiang shouted coldly: "Order the artillery, all the heavy artillery fire together, suppress the Japanese army in place, and do not allow it to move forward!" ”

The first battalion, two artillery battalions, and twenty heavy guns opened fire at the same time, launching a fierce offensive towards the Japanese position.

The rear of the Japanese army saw the defeat in front, and received the order of Genji Yamachi to retreat, occupying the space of the Japanese army's maneuver, although there was no chaos, but in a hurry, their artillery carriages could not be deployed, all squeezed into a ball, under the heavy artillery offensive of the Qing army, heavy casualties, the shells fell into the Japanese army from the air like dumplings, roaring from the air into the Japanese army, which suddenly made the Japanese army lose its calm, the formation was scattered, and it was difficult to hold it back.

Ma Gusheng, chief of staff of the First Division, hurriedly organized the defense of the Japanese army, concealed himself on the spot, and at the same time pulled out the artillery carriage and prepared to return the artillery bombardment.

The two sides were fighting in one place at the foot of Zinan Mountain.
