Due to the difficulty of attacking from the front, Weismann decided to bypass the position from the right flank, from where the Turkish camp was covered by only one retrenchment.

The Turks sent some cavalry to meet them, which after a skirmish fled to their main forces on the heights to the south.

The enemy cavalry, turning to the left, in a gully, opened the retrenchment, whence began a cannonade on the vanguard, confusing it.

The Turks did not wait for the Russian approach and, leaving the camp and the retrenchment, began at 8 o'clock to retreat along the road to Bazardzhik.
