Just when the Tashan defense line was resting, on the flank of Tashan, a group of cavalrymen wearing dark yellow training uniforms and combat vests of the same color were leading their horses to walk in the mountains and forests.

They were the 1502nd Cavalry Battalion, which received orders along with the 103rd Ranger Battalion to go to Tashan for rescue.

Originally, they were able to reach Tower Hill smoothly at noon.

However, just as they were about to enter the mountain, the guard spotted a group of Houjin Tartars coming from the forest to the road outside the mountain.

The commander of the 103rd Cavalry Battalion, who thought that his own intelligence had been leaked, and was intercepted by the Houjin Army, believed that his side was a cavalry unit and could not give full play to its advantages in the mountains and forests and high mountain areas, so he immediately ordered to retreat a certain distance, maintain vigilance, and wait for an opportunity to act.

The next thing is more bizarre.

The Houjin Tartars that came out of the mountains were actually only a few dozen people.

These creatures may have been moving in the dim light of the dark forest for too long, and suddenly appeared outside the forest at noon when the sun was shining, and they were dazzled by the sun.

Dozens of Houjin soldiers half-squinted, and walked all the way to the charging distance of the 103rd cavalry battalion in a daze.

And in the playful eyes of the Chinese soldiers, after coming to 50 meters in front of the cavalry battalion, they realized that something was wrong.

However, at this time, in front of the sabers on the opposite side, as well as the large cavalry force that was already in a state of attack and could accelerate at any time, dozens of Houjin troops did not dare to act rashly.

These Houjin troops were originally Eight Banner Bannermen, and they understood the power of cavalry charges, and they also knew that at this distance, even if they wanted to resist, the bird guns on their backs would not even have the opportunity to fire a single lead bullet.

So, the 103rd Cavalry Battalion participated in the actual battle for the first time, and captured a Niulu Houjin Army without blood, and captured a Niulu flag.

In the next work, there is a detailed set of procedures in the army, such as detention, torture, and screening.

Such a good opportunity for actual combat has just been completed, and officers at all levels of the 103rd Cavalry Battalion, who are still in training, will not easily miss it.

The recruits in the battalion enthusiastically gathered around the professional non-commissioned officers in their respective formations, constantly following their respective commanders, and observing, learning, and practicing the interrogation skills of prisoners.

Dozens of Houjin soldiers were interrogated separately, and it was really a thousand strange situations, some of them were hard-boiled who would rather die than obey, and there were also those who led the way and kowtowed and begged for mercy before they even started.

When the interrogation records were sent to the commander of the 103rd Battalion, he finally figured out the current situation.

The Jurchen officers of the Houjin Army in the Hufeiling Mountains were all Sukh Saha's former subordinates, and before An Buyang arrived at the front line to take command, the Jurchen leaders on the front line had already sent personnel to report to Sukh Saha.

At the same time, the Jurchen leader also knew that he might lose command at any time after he couldn't attack Tashan for a long time, so he still thought about making a last fight before An Bu arrived.

So, while sending a team for help, a sneak attack force was also dispatched, preparing to make a detour to attack Tower Hill from the flank.

It's a pity that although the Tartars were originally also fishing and hunting peoples, they were accustomed to life in the mountains and forests, but after all, since the slave chieftains raised their troops a few decades ago, they have gradually abandoned that kind of life.

After the Nu chieftains conquered Liaodong, the new generation of Jurchens no longer had the ability to fight in the mountains like their fathers.

So, they, in the woods, got lost! Lost! Lost!

It wasn't until just now that the Houjin army, which was preparing to flank Tashan, could be regarded as finding the right path.

The group of captives who had just been sent to the door automatically were the "messengers" who were escorted by the flanking forces and were about to go to Sukh Saha for help.

After that, the flanking force of the Jin army, after sending the "messengers" to the edge of the mountain forest, had already seized the time to adjust the direction and went towards the Tashan area.

After hearing this news, the commander of the 103 battalion was also taken aback.

From the confession of the Houjin army, they knew that the Houjin army did not understand the terrain, and only one flank attack was just a dangerous fight.

However, the officers of the 103rd Battalion, who had already learned about the terrain of Tashan on the sand table and map before departure, knew that this was really their weakness in the Tashan area.

The topography of Tashan is very peculiar, although it is only a small mountain bag, but it is just one of the three mountain passes in the south of the Hufeiling Mountains, especially in the south of the central area of the Hufeiling Mountain Range, there is only one such an exit, if you want to go out of the mountain from other places, you have to go over several high mountains at least.

In the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest of Tashan, there are four high mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

These four high mountains are just blocked in the four corners of Tower Mountain, and a long and narrow passage is formed between them and Tower Mountain, which adds great convenience to the defending troops.

If you want to attack Tower Mountain, you can only find a way to bypass the four high mountains on the four corners except to attack from that passage head-on.

The mountain is longitudinally distributed from north to south, with a width of only a few hundred meters from east to west, but several kilometers long from north to south.

As long as the Houjin army bypassed the high mountains in the corner, attacked from the east and west, and faced a wide area of several kilometers between the north and the south, it could easily set up a position and give full play to its numerical superiority.

Everyone in the 103rd Cavalry Battalion knew that there were only 6 or 700 people at most in Tashan now, and with such a small number of men, the division was a few hundred meters wide from east to west, and with the sophisticated weapons in their hands, it could still play a big role.

However, once the Houjin army came up from the wide flank, even if it was not completely annihilated, it would be greatly damaged.

Moreover, the dozens of captives they captured were just "messengers" who delivered letters, and they did not know the detailed attack plan of the Houjin army's flanking troops, nor did they know how much time it would take to get from the forest area to Tashan here.

Once the 103rd Cavalry Battalion goes to Tashan along the mountain road, the time required is far more than the time to shuttle through the forest, I am afraid that Tashan will be finished.

Therefore, the commander of the 103rd Cavalry Battalion immediately made a decision, abandoned the original plan to meet the defenders from the mountain trail and Tashan, followed the flanking troops of the Houjin Army, which had just set off and had not gone far, and tried to eliminate this group of enemy troops.

When marching in the mountains and forests, the most feared thing is getting lost.

Fortunately, although the 103rd Cavalry Battalion is a newly formed unit, it is also equipped with two "divine beasts", eagle falcons and military dogs.

The falcon is able to navigate the skies, while the military dog is able to keep up with large forces of enemies that need to be searched in a complex environment.

Originally, everything was conceived beautifully, but the reality gave the 103rd Cavalry Battalion, a newly formed unit, a stick.

As they walked, the officers of the 103rd Cavalry Battalion saw that something was wrong from the march map drawn by the staff officer.

They imagined that the group of Houjin troops had actually lost their way again on the way to the flank of Tashan!

Lost!

It's way!

Finish!
