Although the independent regiment is good at mountain warfare, it has to deal with tens of thousands of Qing troops in the mountains and valleys with more than 2,000 multinational coalition troops scattered in the mountains and forests.

The officers in this unit sent by Annan had all been trained in the Haihan Army, so there were no compatibility problems in communication, command system, and tactical style, and they could be directly commanded by Takahashi Minami. The Portuguese were a little more troublesome and could not seamlessly connect with the Haihan army like the Annam troops, so Takahashinan gave the leading Simang the right to act independently, but still reminded Simang to keep a distance when engaging the Qing army to avoid being surrounded by the Qing army.

As for the weak North Korean army, considering that the fighting environment was almost all in rugged mountainous terrain, Takahashi Nam did not even intend to use the North Korean troops as cannon fodder, and was not prepared to use them on the battlefield in formation, so as not to be disrupted by the panicked North Koreans. With the exception of the guides assigned to the rank-and-file units, the remaining North Korean units were redeployed to the rear to take charge of logistical tasks.

Due to the large amount of manpower invested by the Qing army, the construction of a wooden bridge across the river valley was progressing very quickly, and Gaoqiaonan did not want to delay any longer, so the battle began two hours after the allied forces arrived in Xiangshan. However, Takahashi's first target was not the main force of the Qing army camped in the river valley, but the group of people assigned to the task of cutting down trees.

Almost at the same moment, the sound of muskets rang out in several places in the valley of the Xiangshan River, and several logging teams were attacked from the dense forest. Although some of the brave Qing soldiers tried to counterattack with their logging tools, they were knocked to the ground by bullets fired from the woods before they could even see the enemy.

In order to ensure efficiency, the Qing army did not use captured Koreans as lumberjacks, so there was no need to assign more men to serve as guards. However, this arrangement is cheaper for the coalition troops, as long as they see trees being cut down, they can open fire directly, and there is no need to worry about accidental injuries that will make the North Korean officers and soldiers in the army dissatisfied.

In a short period of fighting, the unprepared Qing army lost nearly 100 men, and the survivors had to give up the work at hand. The Qing troops outside the forest reacted relatively quickly, and in a short period of time, they gathered several thousand troops to lay a temporary defensive line, and even raised a few small cannons to aim at the mountains and forests where the accident occurred, preparing to meet the possible enemy army.
