Scouts before the war are sent, which is something both sides will do.

On the surface, Li Niu let the enemy's spies investigate randomly in the distance, but in fact, these spies have been targeted by the scouts. As long as they report the news, Li Niu can know where the other party ambushed. Now he is swaggeringly landing and moving supplies, but no one comes to raid. Then the opponent can only hide somewhere to ambush, or there is no Qing army here at all. However, the reconnaissance report of the reconnaissance company said that there are no people in the town and that if the other party's spies are found, there must be an enemy here. And I asked a few questions from the other party. The town where I am now is called Tongguan Town, and there are many porcelain kilns, but now there is no cigarette in the town, which is enough to explain the problem.

It was not until after one o'clock that the spies left when they saw that the supplies were almost moved, and the scouts followed from a distance to find out the enemy's location. If He Shan knew that the Qin army's scouts were so strong, he would not send spies to reconnaissance if they were killed.

The scouts left after getting the approximate position. Since the opponent chose to ambush, they would not move at a larger scale.

When He Shan learned that the other party had 15 cannons, he knew the result of the battle. However, his goal was not to win, but to hurt the enemy as much as possible. When he learned that there was no opponent in Shizishan, he regretted it, but then he thought that if the cannons were not used to attack the fleet, the other party would definitely go straight to Changsha along the river and would not land here again. The other party's supplies were almost transported, and after a short rest, he would start moving forward. The ambush site He Shan chose was only about 1,200 meters, and there was a small hill that was only twenty or thirty meters high. There were dense trees here, and there were only a dozen families at the foot of the mountain.

This is not a necessary path for the enemy. If the Qin army walks by the river, then his ambush is meaningless, but the Qin army will always plunder some food and grass, so they will definitely enter the town and pass here to Changsha.

Sure enough, through the telescope, He Shan saw a long team rushing towards him, but he did not enter the houses along the way to search for anything. He not only thought to himself: "The discipline of the Qin army is really so good? Such a force is a strong army everywhere!"

But soon, the Qin army stopped 500 meters away from him and stopped moving.

"What's going on? Was it discovered?" He Shan looked at the back of the team with a telescope. He found that the Qin army's artillery was not moving, so he couldn't figure it out. "If you didn't set up a cannon, it means that your position was not exposed. Why did they stop? Are you ready to start plundering property from the house?"

Some people did scatter and found a suitable place to set up mortars. The mortars are equipped with one company, each with 80 shells. These shells are carried by manpower by a two-wheeled car. The 60mm shells are not very heavy, and one round weighs only 3 kilograms. Therefore, although the firing rate of mortars is very fast, they are usually not used in general. If the maximum firing rate is used, there will be no shells in three minutes.

Pull off the security of the warhead, and part of the shell has entered the barrel. Just wait for a command to drop to the bottom and then fly out, flying to the enemy's hiding place.

"Please pay attention to each artillery, three rapid fires, and release them!"

The soldier responsible for loading let go of his hands, then covered his ears, the shells slid down the barrel and made a metal friction sound, and then a "bang!" sound. Then the loading hand let go of his own, picked up a shell and repeated the action just now.

Since it was a parabola, when the third shell was out of the bore, the first shell had not yet landed, but He Shan had already heard the whistling of the shells cutting through the air. Although such a strange whistling had never been passed before, it must have been a shell.

"Let's go down!!" He Shan shouted and lay down.

Many scattered soldiers and yelling soldiers have heard this kind of whistling sound, and now they have heard it again! Some people throw away their rifles, quickly take off their zither clothes, and then start to run away. They know that the Qin army never kills people at will, as long as you don’t look like you don’t look like a Qing army. Even if you are a Qing army, the Qin army will not shoot at will. As long as you don’t resist, you will basically not die.

If one person escapes, everyone will think of escaping, and the soldiers will be defeated like a mountain. When the first shell that fell to the ground exploded, all the newly-engraved soldiers began to escape without any will to resist. They used to be soldiers and made a living, but now they are thrown under Zhang Zhidong. The same is true. They know that Zhang Zhidong will definitely be defeated and there is no need to worry that he will settle the score later.

The morale of the army was disintegrated and the morale was greatly reduced. The remaining 500 elites who did not show escape behavior also lost their fighting spirit. However, in just a few seconds, three hundred shells exploded on this hill, and countless casualties were immediately killed or injured. Those who wanted to escape were not necessarily as lucky as last time.

He Shan lay on the ground and did not dare to move. He really couldn't figure out why so many shells came at once without moving the dozen cannons from the other party! Hearing the howling of shells, it seemed a bit like six-pound, five-seven cannons. With so many cannons, the spy would never be able to find them. But at this time, these were undoubtedly unnecessary. His position had been exposed, and it was impossible to cause any damage to the enemy. At this time, it was the most important thing to save himself.

After a few minutes, the other party didn't move. He Shan stood up and patted the dust on his body. A soldier next to him asked, "Battery Commander! What should we do? Are we still standing here?"

"We originally wanted to fight an ambush, but now we have all been discovered. It's useless to squat here! Hurry up, call everyone up, let's go back, and don't worry about those new soldiers."

Many soldiers stood up, and a mile away, the observer observed this through the artillery mirror and immediately reported the information to the upper commander. So the angle of the 100 mortars did not change, and a round of shells was fired at the hill bag.

He Shan knew that he would be fried into meat sooner or later when he stayed here, so he took his people and retreated quickly.
