sian right flank and endeavored to take II
in the rear. They were repulsed, but
returned repeatedly to the attack. FL
nally after artillery preparations, the
whole Russian column was thrown against
the Chinese, who, by evening, were in
fun retreat. This result was only reached
when General Flelschers column, which
had been resting from the fatigue of a
long march, was called into action.
Next day the. Chinese made a less stub
born stand In a strong position on the
mountain chain in front of Liao Jau. The
position was captured at noon, but the
Russians were unable to pursue the Chi
nese, on account OF the extreme fatigue
and the difficult nature Of the country.
Another Russian column met with strong
resistance and only arrived at Lao Jau
