On the night of November 3, peasant Gao Wu organized more than 800 peasant households to attack the Japanese garrison in Dasha River, destroying a large number of Japanese bridge-building equipment, and Gao Wu and nearly 100 righteous people were shot dead by the angry Japanese army.

The old hunter Jiang Er dug large pits similar to fighting wolves in many places on the march of the main force of the Japanese army, with sharp bamboo nails built-in, and the ground camouflaged as usual, and the Japanese horse team fell into the pit continuously, killing and wounding several people.

――

This series of spontaneous attacks by the righteous people greatly slowed down the marching speed of the Japanese army, and also made the Japanese army begin to become irritable, looking at every Qing citizen with bloody vigilance.

And Kenichi Muno, a spy who was lucky enough to infiltrate Jinzhou City, brought the city defense of Jinzhou to Lieutenant General Motoji Yamachi, the commander of the First Division, and told the 'bad news' that the three spies of Yamazaki Lambzaburo, Saburo Kanesaki, and Fujisaki Shu were beheaded and their heads were hung outside Jinzhou City.

The Japanese generals at the headquarters of the 1st Division all changed color and shouted, 'Blood debt and blood payment'.

On November 4, Saito's detachment crossed the Dasha River and arrived at Liujiadian in the afternoon of the same day.

Under Xu Bangdao's order, the Gongwei Army, who was building fortifications at the front of Liujiadian, saw the Japanese army and horses coming, and felt that the Japanese army was too strong to resist, so they shot indiscriminately from a distance.

Then he abandoned the fortifications that had just begun to be built, and hastily withdrew to the west.

Saito Tokuaki Shaozo immediately sent the squad leader Second Lieutenant Kosaki Masamitsu to lead nine cavalry, followed the retreating Qing army, and followed all the way to Xiaojiagou, thirty miles east of Jinzhou City.

Xiaojiagou is bordered by Nanda Black Mountain in the south and Wolong Reservoir in the north.

The deep depths of Nanda Black Mountain are densely wooded and vines are horizontal, and it is almost impossible for people to walk an inch in the deep mountains.

The west bank of the Wolong Reservoir is entangled with the remaining veins of the Northern Black Mountain, which is either a water or a dense forest.

Therefore, Xiaojiagou is the choke point for Piziwo to enter Jinzhou City, and Xu Bangdao deliberately arranged heavy troops to defend it here.

Xiao Qi Zhengman saw the flag waving in Xiaojiagou in the distance, and did not dare to move forward, so he got off the south of the big black mountain, entered the pine tree ditch at the northern foot, climbed the west peak of the branch vein of the big black mountain, and wanted to look down on the situation in the Xiaojiagou ditch from a high place.

When Kozaki was full of five people panting to climb the west peak, it was the time of sunset, looking against the morning glow, the Xiaojiagou in front, the sparkling Wolong Reservoir, and the Jinzhou City in the distance were all vividly visible.

"Yaga, what's that?"

The five of them walked for a while on the west peak, looking at a stone Taoist temple exposed in the pine forest in front of them, full of curiosity.

The five people approached the Taoist temple and saw a dusty stone plaque hanging at the main entrance: Tang Wang Palace.

The wooden door of the main hall has been dilapidated, and it is crooked and half-open due to the erosion of time and wind and rain.

"Yoxi, go in and have a look."

Masamitsu Kosaki was full of interest and walked in first.

The interior is empty, and there is a clay sculpture of a colorful sculpture, which is a military general with a sword at his waist and round eyes.

"Whew-"

The wind was strong on the top of the mountain, and the cold wind pouring in from the broken window made everyone cold for no reason.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see."

Kozaki was full of uneasiness in his heart and hurriedly walked out of the main hall.

Outside the pine ditch not far from the bottom of the mountain, Tong Fulin, the head of the left sentry post of the right battalion of the Gongwei Army, who led the Sishi infantry to patrol, happened to hear the neighing of the Japanese war horses in the ditch.

"Shhhh

When Tong Fulin came out of Xiaojiagou just now, he met the Qing soldiers who had withdrawn from Liujiadian, and knew that the Japanese advance was not far away.

"Dou Hongqiang, Yang Shanbao, Gao Laiju, follow me to take a look, don't make a noise about the rest."

Tong Fulin ordered all the four chiefs under him, and they were holding imported Mauser single-shot fast guns in their hands.

Of the rest of the soldiers, only eleven of them had quick-sharp rifles produced by the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau, six of them were still the bird guns of decades ago, and ten of them were carrying five guns weighing thirty or forty pounds in pairs.

The remaining nine people only held large blades and spears with bamboo poles and iron heads in their hands.

Because Li Hongzhang didn't trust Xu Bangdao very much, and now Xu Bangdao's actions also proved that Li Hongzhang really didn't look away, so he gave the armor to Gong Weijun. Almost all of them are rags from the Beiyang Bureau's warehouse.

Soon, Tong Fulin and the five of them touched a hillside forest and saw nine war horses and four Japanese soldiers parked at the foot of the pine ditch.

Tong Fulin's hearts suddenly tightened.

After listening to the Japanese soldiers for so long, now they finally appear in front of them!

"Let's go!"

Tong Fulin said in a low voice, and several people slowly retreated down the hill, and then ran towards the ditch with bated breath.

Back outside the ditch, it was almost dark, and when he saw Tong Fulin's figure, a group of anxious Qing troops immediately surrounded him.

"Sentry Chief, is it a Japanese soldier?"

"Sentry Chief, how many Waiyi are there?"

When they heard that there were only nine Japanese soldiers, all the Qing soldiers became excited, and they were all eager to try.

Then, under the deployment of Tong Fulin, all the Qing troops hid and waited for the Japanese army to enter the ambush circle in the cold night.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Tong Fulin's Sishi soldiers were cold and hungry lying on both sides of the ravine and blocking the ditch, waiting for nearly three hours, and finally heard the 'click' of the hooves of the war horses on the side of the west peak.

"It's coming!"

Everyone is nervous, and while they are happy, they all scold these nine kings and eight lambs, they are really able to ink!

Immediately, in the faint moonlight, a dark group of Japanese cavalry appeared in everyone's sight and slowly moved forward at the bottom of the ditch.

"Brothers, kill me for me!"

"Bang!"

Tong Fulin, who was lying on the slope of Zuogou Mountain, shouted and shot first.

"Kill the Waiyi!"

Hearing the order of the sentry commander, he lay in ambush on the left and right slopes, rifles in hand, and the Qing soldiers of the bird command opened fire one after another, shooting towards the bottom of the ditch.

"There is a Qing army, an ambush, an ambush!"

The Japanese troops at the bottom of the ditch were suddenly stunned, and with just a salvo, two Japanese soldiers had already been shot and fell from their horses.

The remaining seven Japanese soldiers hurriedly raised their guns and fired back at the hillside, while driving their horses fast in a vain attempt to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible.

"Kill the Waiyi!"

These seven Japanese soldiers were about to escape from the pine ditch, and a group of Qing soldiers suddenly stood up in front of them, and then there were five explosions of 'boom, boom, boom'.

The huge roar of raising the gun immediately beat the three Japanese soldiers who were shot into the air and flew upside down with a scream, and after the gunshot, the nine Qing soldiers with big swords and spears also bravely roared and rushed towards the remaining four Japanese soldiers.

"Long live the Emperor, charge!"

Second Lieutenant Masamitsu's face turned pale with horror, and while shouting and ordering the remaining three men to charge bravely, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and climbed the hillside in the dark night.

"Long live the Emperor!"

The three Japanese soldiers who had undergone strict military training were all screaming and screaming, and rushed towards the Qing army at Mizokou with a tragic face.

Immediately, they were beaten down by the swarming Qing soldiers and captured alive one by one.

In the first real hand-to-hand encounter between the Qing and Japanese sides in southern Liaoning, the nine-man cavalry detachment of Second Lieutenant Masamitsu Kozaki of the Japanese army killed five people and captured three prisoners, and only one of them, Kozaki Masamitsu, escaped by luck in the night.

The Qing army suffered no casualties.

In the afternoon, when he learned that the infantry team had encountered the vanguard of the Japanese army in Liujiadian, Xu Bangdao hurried to Xiaojiagou, and at near night, Lian Shun, Zhou Dingchen, and Rong An also rushed over after hearing the news.

Several people drank noodles while holding rice bowls, ate lake fish from Wolong Reservoir, and discussed countermeasures, but the result was a start, and everyone couldn't talk anymore.

In the face of the absolute crushing of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, pointing to these 4,000 troops, everyone could not see any possibility of victory.

As a result, mouthfuls of noodles and fish soup became tasteless.
