On the morning of the 27th January the enemy attacked an advanced post which was holding a bridge over the Nāmdāng river. Supports were moved up quickly, and then, in order to encourage the Burmese to show themselves, a retreat from the bridge was feigned. The Burmese fell into the trap and rushed forward, whereupon they were attacked and put to flight with heavy loss.
