Tsinghai was attacked during the Seventh Wave of [[Operation RAT]]; in contrast with the thirteen other Capellan worlds annexed with little difficulty during this wave, Tsinghai had a front-line garrison, consisting of a battalion from the Fifth and the First Battalion of [[Preston's Lancers]]. Without much time to plan, the Capellan Operations Command of the AFFS attempted to use numbers to compensate for a lack of information and planning time, and deployed two regiments of the [[Twelfth Vegan Rangers]] — [[Gamma Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Gamma]] and [[Delta Regiment (12th vegan Rangers)|Delta Regiments]] — and the complete [[Twentieth Avalon Hussars]] [[Regimental Combat Team]]. The task force landed on Tsinghai on the 8th of December, with the Vegan Rangers targeting the Cavalry while the Twentieth Hussars engaged Preston's Lancers. The Rangers were able to bracket the Cavalry troops in a long valley, using numbers to their advantage and outflanking the Cavalry; the Cavalry had luck on their side, and were able to fight through to their [[DropShip]]s and abandon Tsinghai after losing only half their strength.<ref name="4SWv2p59A">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 59: "Tsinghai"</ref>

Preston's Lancers were able to avoid being encircled by the Hussars, breaking through the Hussars' line, but were soon being attacked by the Hussars' [[aerospace fighter]]s and a regiment of [[hovertank]]s. The Lancers retreated into the Hornatio Valley, a twisting river valley, with the Hussars in close pursuit. The Lancers launched several ambushes against the more numerous Hussar forces, until the Hussars dispatched a [['Mech]] battalion and an armored regiment around to the river delta and used their other forces to drive the Lancers towards them. The Hussars' trap was successful, and after two days of combat in the river delta a single [[company]] of Lancers managed to escape, leaving the planet under Federated Suns control.<ref name="4SWv2p59A"/>
