Chapter 1365: Cavalry Confrontation

In the past few years, the Haihan Army has carried out amphibious landing operations quite a few times, and it has long had a mature implementation plan for how to quickly build ports and camps on the coast. The topography of Lushunkou is fully in line with the requirements of the Haihan military for the location of the military port, with a narrow and easy-to-control entrance and exit channel and a relatively wide and calm harbor, and rich forest resources around it, which can easily obtain the timber needed for construction.

There were originally some port facilities left over from the reign of the Ming Dynasty in the port of Lushunkou, but the tonnage of the warships of the Haihan Navy was generally large, and the wharves and trestle bridges that existed as the auxiliary facilities of the Ming Navy Division were a bit difficult, and they had to be renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the Navy.

As for the indispensable coastal defense artillery fortifications in other military ports, several high-ranking officials believed that the local area was not in a hurry to build such huge fortifications as forts, because in the entire Yellow and Bohai Sea regions, the Haihan was already the most powerful maritime armed force, and the forces of all parties, including the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty, basically did not have enough strength to threaten the Haihan. Hou Jin has suffered many times in the past year, but he is afraid to avoid it, and he will not have the courage to choose the sea as a place of engagement.

For the time being, the fort did not need to be repaired, and was replaced by a lookout post on the Tiger Tail Peninsula. The Navy plans to build a four-story wooden tower on the highest hill on the peninsula, which will provide an unobstructed view of the sea beyond the harbor on a fine day, and with the power of telescopes, an area of about 20 nautical miles can be included in the monitoring range of the outpost. If there are really daring Houjin armed ships trying to intrude into this area, the presence of the lookout can also provide a timely warning to the garrison in the harbor.

The only unit that did not join the construction project during this period was probably the cavalry battalion led by Harukun. This is not that Harugong wants to do any special treatment, but that the cavalry battalion is responsible for the task of the outer realm during this period, and it is constantly monitoring the movement in the north at the traffic key pass thirty miles north of Fort Arthur. In the event that the Houjin army launched a large-scale counterattack during this period, then the cavalry battalion had to send the news back to Fort Arthur as soon as possible, so that the rear could organize a response.

However, the reaction of the Houjin army was obviously not as fierce as Haihan expected, or the speed of the opponent's preparations was far less than that of Haihan, and it was not until five days later that the cavalry battalion finally discovered the sporadic appearance of Houjin cavalry and began to operate in this area, but both sides carefully kept their distance and did not have a direct conflict.

Harugong thought that this was a kind of temptation for the Later Jin to understand how large the area controlled by the Haihan in the Lushun region. However, these Houjin cavalry were very careful in their actions, deliberately avoiding the edge of Haihan, and it was not easy to capture or kill them. Moreover, Ha Lugong did not dare to easily let his subordinate cavalry perform combat missions in unfamiliar areas, and no one knew how many ambushes and traps Hou Jin, hunter-turned-cavalry, would set in the nearby mountains and forests. With the preciousness of the Haihan cavalry, it is very unwise to fight with the other party in a complex geographical environment, and Harugong naturally will not make such a low-level mistake.

After a few days of probing, the cavalry of the two sides finally began to make substantial contact.
