The main force of the Houjin led by Dolgon, after passing through the border of Fuzhou, finally tasted the attack that Yue Tuo had suffered before.

Along the way, the reconnaissance units of the Huaxia Army, the special service units, the ranger units, the action teams under the Military Intelligence Bureau, and other units, large or small, attacked and harassed them everywhere.

However, Dolgon had spent a great deal of money and exchanged countless benefits for this expedition, and his determination was so strong that this level of harassment could not shake his mind.

At first, he didn't care about these small-scale raids, and he didn't pay attention to the sound of mine explosions along the way.

It wasn't until the harassment they suffered had affected the marching speed of the entire Houjin army that he finally decisively dispatched a large number of Bayala to kill the scouts and stragglers of the Huaxia army.

The Jurchen people are originally a fishing and hunting people between the mountains and forests, and these Bayalas are the best among them, they are all carefully selected from the mountain and forest hunters, and they are all very skilled.

And those special troops on the Huaxia Army's side, although they have an advantage in weapons, they are fighting away from home in the mountains and forests, and they are also absolutely inferior in numbers, plus they have lost the close support of Jinzhou City.

All this made it impossible for these members of the special forces of the Chinese Army on the front line to exert their due combat effectiveness, and finally under the encirclement and suppression of Houjin Bayala, they were forced to abandon the advance camps in many front-line places such as the Twin Mountains, and moved all the way to the mountainous areas far away from the official road.

Subsequently, the soldiers of the Houjin army occupied the key points on the official roads along the way, temporarily maintained the safety of the army's military rations and baggage transportation lines, and then the main forces of the Houjin army began to rush to Jinzhou City in a steady stream.

Although the large forces of the Later Jin Dynasty were able to disperse the attacking Huaxia Army scouts with their strength, their forward cavalry units did not have this kind of strength.

At this time, the Jinzhou forward cavalry troops were already in a hurry, and on the way they left Jinzhou City and advanced towards Lushun, they were still constantly attacked by mines, and from time to time a small group of enemies raided their queue.

Up to now, several days have passed, and most of the Houjin army has arrived in Jinzhou City, but their forward cavalry troops, who set off several days in advance, have not yet crossed the Nanshan City Pass.

The location chosen by the Huaxia army to build the fortress can not only rely on long-range firepower to control the official road and its surroundings. In addition, the nearby mountains and rivers are connected to each other, making it a place that is very conducive to defense.

In the mountainous area to the west of Nanshan, the Chinese auxiliaries dug a lot of trenches under the guidance of engineers to block those mountain trails. In addition, there are still cavalry of the Huaxia Army patrolling nearby, and if the Houjin cavalry does not brave the rain of guns and arrows of the Huaxia Army to carry out earthwork work and forcibly fill in the trenches, there is no way to cross the Nanshan Pass.

To the east of Nanshan, there is a river, and there are several piers along the way through the river, and there are also Chinese cavalry troops stationed in them, and these piers can also be reinforced by the Nanshan Pass at any time, making it difficult for the scouts of Houjin to pass.

There were also a small number of Houjin army scouts, under Yue Tuo's order, sneaked into the back of Nanshan Pass on foot at night, Yue Tuo hoped that they could pass through here covertly and go to Lushun to reconnoiter the situation there in advance, so as to provide intelligence reference for the follow-up Houjin army troops.

However, when they crossed the Nanshan Pass with great difficulty, they found that there were actually two post stations and a battlefield shelter line composed of dungeon forts behind the Nanshan Pass. The enemy swaying in these two lines of concealment was bound to be besieged by the Chinese cavalry.

Therefore, if they want to go to Lushun, they can only climb over the mountains and mountains, cross the mountains and mountains, and wait until they have finished investigating the information of Lushun, and then return the same way over the mountains.

However, this method of investigation, from the perspective of time, may not be too late at all. Before they could finish their reconnaissance, the Houjin army had already arrived in Lushun.

When the forward cavalry units of the Houjin Army were struggling, Zachdan instead figured out the specific strength of the Houjin Forward Cavalry through such a long period of contact and reconnaissance by the eagles and falcons in the air.

He led the cavalry battalion and the cavalry infantry battalion under his command, plus the cavalry units directly under the brigade headquarters, to guard the Nanshan Pass, and constantly sent scouts to constantly reconnoiter the situation in Jinzhou City, which was 16 or 7 kilometers away.

In addition, the Huaxia Navy has also formed a fleet, quickly rushed to the sea area off Qingniwa and Jinzhou Bay, and cruising and wandering around the coastline with great fanfare, making the illusion that it would send troops to counterattack Jinzhou at any time.

In addition, the coast guard also sent a part of the extremely fast and extremely agile fast crab in the shallow sea - Type 21 patrol boats to operate on the coastline outside Fuzhou, and constantly sent some stragglers ashore to reconnoiter the movements of Jin's main force.

Yue Tuo was in a hurry to march to Jinzhou City to launch a surprise attack and then eat the enemy according to the custom of Hou Jin, so the grain and grass carried by his soldiers and horses were only ten days' worth of food.

However, when he finally came to Jinzhou after a lot of hard work, he found that almost everything in the vicinity had been burned by the Huaxia army, and now, his forward cavalry unit had not much food and grass.

He was a little hesitant, should he continue to storm Nanshan Pass?

Judging from various signs, it is clear that the defenders of Nanshan Pass have been prepared for a long time, they have held Nanshan Pass steadily, and have covered the reconnaissance carried out by the Houjin scouts behind them.

This makes the situation of going south of Nanshan Pass still seem to be shrouded in the fog of war, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and fiction, but the order given to him by the council headed by Dolgon is to besiege Jinzhou City as quickly as possible, if not, then find a way to reach the city of Lushun, open the road and build a bridge in the mountains and water, in short, it is to open a road for the army.

After thinking about it for a while, Yue Tuo thought that this battle would be fought early or late anyway, whether he fought or not, as a striker, he had the duty to open the way for the army, and when Dolgon's army arrived, it was still him Yue Tuo who took the lead.

But if it is late, won't it be true, although now that Dolgon has the upper hand, and almost regards the Houjin Khan position as a bag, Yue Tuo still has room to rise.

He can't be the king of Khan, and he can go a few steps further in the title, he doesn't want to be caught in this kind of national war.

Therefore, in the end, he still made up his mind to fight, and he must take Nanshan Pass before the arrival of the large army.
