After about 1,000 people arrived and joined the forward cavalry led by Yue Tuo, Yue Tuo led 5,000 men and began to attack Nanshan Pass.

Zachdan, who once again commanded the defense, decisively ordered a large fire to be set in the area west of Nanshan Pass, and used the mountain fire to block the path in the western mountains.

Then, he took advantage of the narrow terrain where Nanshan Pass was located, and the Houjin army could not give full play to the advantage in numbers, so he chose to take the initiative to attack.

After the enemy and us clashed with each other several times under Nanshan Pass, causing some losses to the Houjin army, Yue Tuo also discovered that in such a narrow terrain, the cavalry under his command did not dare to touch the dense cavalry formation of the Huaxia cavalry troops.

Therefore, after a few attacks, he could only give up his previous decision to capture Nanshan Pass before the arrival of the large army, and retreat to camp in Wuli.

Although if he does this, it is likely to leave a bad image in the Eight Banners and give people a handle, but the cavalry under his command is the most elite part of the Houjin soldiers, if he really chooses to capture Nanshan Pass regardless of the casualties under his command, I am afraid that the blame he will suffer will never be smaller than not being able to capture Nanshan Pass.

The two sides were in a stalemate for two days, during which there was no large-scale cavalry battle, but the confrontation between the scouts was never broken.

By the evening of the next day, accurate news came from the navy that a large force of the Houjin Army was rushing along the official road along the South Fourth Guard.

Zakdan knew the weight of the Houjin army's attack this time, and he was still a little frightened by the Houjin army's total of nearly 90,000 regular soldiers, predetermined soldiers, and servant troops.

If you add the auxiliaries, Baoyi, and aha, the Houjin army has dispatched nearly 200,000 horses, which is not something he can stop in a Nanshan Pass.

That night, Zachdan ordered to abandon Nanshan Pass and retreat.

The sappers laid a large number of mines on the official road of Nanshan Pass, and set a fire in the city of Nanshan Pass before dawn, and then the Lord chose to retreat.

Even, Zachdan also ordered the defenders stationed on the first scout shelter line behind Nanshan Pass to retreat to the rear together, and went directly to the last preset fortress level before retreating to Lushun, that is, the "No. 3 Fortress".

The defense line of southern Liaoning formed by the Chinese army was calculated from Jinzhou City, and the Nanshan Pass behind Jinzhou City was marked as the "first fortress", followed by the "second fortress" and "third fortress" and so on.

This checkpoint, known as "No. 3 Fortress", is about 20 kilometers away from Lushun South City.

Fort No. 3 is located on a flat area on the western bank of the Isthmus of Golden State, formed by the mud and sand of the river. To the north is the coastline, and to the northeast, in the direction of the Golden State, is a rolling hill. The highest part of the hill was less than three hundred meters above sea level, and the dense vegetation on the hill made the terrain undulating, making it difficult for cavalry to pass. To the south, there is a mountain range that rises even more violently.

The official road from Jinzhou in this direction is just in the direction of due east, and the official road happens to pass between these two hills and mountains, and the place suitable for cavalry movement is less than 500 meters.

It can be said that there is no space for traditional cavalry to mount and maneuver here, and the most suitable thing is to exert its maximum power just like the array cavalry of the Huaxia Cavalry Battalion.

Compared with the previous "second fortress", this "third fortress" is more conducive to the operation of the Huaxia army, and even more suitable for fighting resistance battles than Nanshan Pass.

The headquarters of the Huaxia Army in southern Liaoning has long set up several lines of defense here. The first line of defense was in the narrow passage to the east, where the sappers and the auxiliaries dug a trench and a breastwork.

Zachdan deployed the cavalry infantry battalion behind the breastwork, leaving a cavalry battalion and nearly 1,000 cavalry directly under the brigade headquarters to be placed behind the line as a mobile unit.

The second line of defense, a few kilometers south of the first line, was a river flowing out of the mountains, and there were two places where the whole river was so narrow that it could be crossed directly, and there was a wooden bridge, and the second line of defense was also a series of improvised fortifications, which were garrisoned by a company of troops.

After discovering the retreat of the Chinese defenders on the Nanshan Pass, Yue Tuo quickly followed up and rushed to the eastern area of the "No. 3 Fortress" on the same day.

He took Goshha to climb the hill on the flank, and after looking at the terrain of the "third fortress" firmly controlled by the Huaxia army in front, he fell silent and was speechless for a long time.

He kept thinking of the previous battles with Chen Xin's soldiers and horses, and he found that the Huaxia army could choose the battlefield that was most beneficial to them every time.

The front line of defense was not much different from the position that Yue Tuo himself had seen at the mouth of the Fuzhou River, and in front of the trench and the breastwork, there were also large and small traps.

Behind the position, you can faintly see the infantry of about 1,000 people of the Huaxia Army, with bayonets lined up and extremely strict formation.

No matter how many times Yue Tuo saw this neat military scene, he would feel an extreme shock.

Yue Tuo said to Baya Lazhangjing beside him, "Call the Bamonketa with the white flag." ”

That Zhang Jing immediately sent someone to give the order.

The forward cavalry unit led by Yue Tuo was composed of Bayala as the main force from all the eight banners, mixed with the men and horses of Yue Tuo's headquarters, and when marching and fighting, people of different banners were naturally in different positions.

The herald went to the side of Bayara, which was inlaid with the white flag, and soon recruited Monkta, who was originally subordinate to the white-flaged Bayaljanjing under the command of Duoduo. However, because he himself lost troops in the Battle of Fuzhou, he left a very bad reputation.

Although in the last moment, he still controlled the Ba Yala directly under the White Flag Duoduo. But overall, his performance was still very poor.

Therefore, after the Battle of Fuzhou, he was severely punished by the Houjin Council, not only confiscated a Zhuangzi and ten war horses, but also his position in the white flag was demoted from Meler Zhangjing to an ordinary Niu Lu Ezhen.

After Meng Keta came to Yue Tuo's side, he first knelt down and saluted, and then was ordered by Yue Tuo to look at the Huaxia army position in front.
