During the Napoleonic period, such phalanxes were widely used by Western countries, and they were specially used against cavalry, and this phalanx could even defend against cavalry attacks from the flanks through the coordination between the phalanxes, and in the Battle of the Pyramids, Napoleon used this phalanx to defeat more than seven times his own cavalry.

"It's a pity that although this phalanx has super strong defense, it can't pursue after the enemy army is defeated." Xiong Tingbi sighed.

"Therefore, in the future, there needs to be a cavalry, dismounted to be able to fight in formation, and once the enemy is defeated, it can immediately mount and start the pursuit. And in the future I intend to eliminate the spear with a bayonet. Zhu Youxiao said.

"Bayonets?" Xiong Tingbi asked suspiciously.

"Yes, directly on the musket." Zhu Youxiao explained. At this time, the musket was relatively long, and with a bayonet, it was long enough to be as long as a spear.

……

Zhu Youxiao is discussing this issue here, and Lin Dan Khan is also discussing this issue.

"What's the name of this formation? It's so powerful. Lin Dan Khan asked.

"When I heard that the name of this formation was the infantry phalanx." Brainhair whispered.

"The Ming Dynasty has this array, Mongolia is in danger, and Houjin is also in danger." Lin Dan Khan said.

"Great Khan, give the order to withdraw the troops, Mangui's cavalry is about to attack." At this time, someone persuaded him.

The performance of the infantry phalanx not only surprised Lin Dan Khan, but even Man Gui felt incredible. Man Gui felt that if he waited like this, even if the 10,000 cavalry died, they might break through the infantry phalanx.

"Order, the whole army attacked." Man Gui ordered.

Five thousand dragoon cavalry fought out from the flanks of the infantry phalanx. The dragon cavalry fought in a completely different way than before, they would fire their pistols before making physical contact with the enemy, and only draw their swords to meet them when the pistols were fired.

Before Lin Dan Khan's cavalry could understand what was going on, they were attacked by two rounds of muskets, and the enemy cavalry at the front immediately fell in large pieces. Now that the Ming Dynasty has the upper hand, the dragon cavalry is also imposing. Lin Dan Khan saw that the entire cavalry team was about to be cut off, and he had to immediately order the entire army to retreat.

Although Lin Dan Khan gave the order to fight to the death, he didn't want to really leave all the 10,000 soldiers here. If it was evenly matched, Lin Dan Khan would definitely not withdraw, but now the situation is one-sided. If he really loses another 10,000 soldiers and horses, he Lin Dan Khan's expedition will really hurt his vitality.

Lin Dan Khan wanted to retreat, but Man Gui didn't want to let it go so easily, he led 5,000 cavalry to continue to pursue and suppress Lin Dan Khan's cavalry, which had no time to retreat. After Lin Dan Khan's battle, he was really scared by Zhu Youxiao, and he didn't care that the rescue was too late to withdraw the cavalry, so he began to retreat. Of course, Lin Dan Khan could not be rescued, according to the agreement between the two parties, his main force was stationed twenty miles away, and he himself carried thousands of guards.

Man Gui didn't chase far before he stopped, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Lin Dan Khan, you still owe Your Majesty a thousand horses, don't forget." ”

"Lin Dan Khan, you still owe Your Majesty a thousand horses, don't forget." After Man Gui finished shouting, his subordinates shouted loudly together.

I don't know if Lin Dan Khan heard it, anyway, Lin Dan Khan rushed back to the camp without looking back. As soon as he returned to the camp, he retreated with his army, and after this battle, he almost lost hope of unifying Mongolia. When Lin Dan Khan withdrew, he really left a thousand horses in the camp for Zhu Youxiao.

The battle was won, Zhu Youxiao's new army became famous all over the world, and the Ming Dynasty saw the hope of expelling Jianyu for the first time. Sun Chengzong was the first to decide to train a large army in Liaodong according to the new army. It's just that Sun Chengzong relied on the old army, coupled with issues such as military salaries, which was doomed to failure from the beginning.

The victory in this battle also made Zhu Youxiao feel relieved, and through the test of this actual battle, it was fully proved that the infantry phalanx of the Napoleonic period was useful, and he finally found a way to fight the infantry against the cavalry in the field. While this method has significant drawbacks, it also has significant advantages.

After learning the news of the withdrawal of Lin Dan Khan's army, according to the usual practice, Zhu Youxiao wanted to reward the three armies in Datong, but Zhu Youxiao decided to give a banquet to the ministers and the main generals of the Longteng Army and thousands of soldier representatives at the same time.

"Come, everyone, raise a glass! This first glass of wine should be toasted to our Ming Empire! Respect the empire forever! Zhu Youxiao raised his glass and said loudly. After speaking, Zhu Youxiao poured the wine on the ground.

"Respect the eternal empire!" The soldiers of the Dragon Teng Army shouted together. After shouting, they also poured the wine on the ground. Wen Chen, who was present, was a little stunned, but he also poured the wine to the ground.

"It's full." Zhu Youxiao shouted.

After everyone poured it to the full, Zhu Youxiao raised his glass again and said loudly: "This second cup is a tribute to this land watered with the blood of countless heroes!" Each of us remembers every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood! After speaking, Zhu Youxiao poured the wine on the ground again.

"An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood!" The soldiers of the Dragon Teng Army shouted together. The Wenchen present this time reacted, and some people also shouted along with them. After shouting, they also poured the wine on the ground again.

"Pour it full, this third cup is for the soldiers who died on the battlefield of Datong! Heroes don't die, their aspirations live on! Zhu Youxiao raised his glass and said loudly. After speaking, Zhu Youxiao poured the wine on the ground again.

"Heroes don't die, their will lives on!" This time everyone chanted along. After shouting, they also poured the wine on the ground again.

"Pour it full, this cup is for all of you, for the glory of the Empire! For the glory of the military! Drink a lot. Zhu Youxiao raised his wine glass and dried it up.

"For the glory of the Empire! For the glory of the military! Drink a lot. ”

Maybe he drank alcohol in his previous life, but in this life, Zhu Youxiao is not interested in wine, even when he rewarded the three armies for banqueting the ministers, Zhu Youxiao also drank this glass of wine.

The whole celebration banquet was drunk until late at night, but Zhu Youxiao left early. Now that the external troubles of Datong have been solved, Zhu Youxiao finally has his hands free to solve the affairs of Shanxi.

"Spread my word, you carry my token, so that Luo Sigong and the three thousand dragon Teng army must be arrested and brought to justice by Fan Yongdou and other eight businessmen early tomorrow morning. None of the owners of the family are allowed to leave the residence. Zhu Youxiao commanded.

"No." Wang Liqian replied.

……

At three o'clock the next day, when many people were still asleep, Luo Sigong led the Jinyi Guard and the three thousand dragon teng army to surround the mansions of Fan Yongdou and other eight businessmen at the same time.

Fan Yongdou and the other eight people were embarrassed, and even the mansions in Datong were connected together, which saved Luo Sigong a lot of effort. Regarding the arrest of Zhu Youxiao, Fan Yongdou and the other eight people did not have the slightest ability to resist. Luo Sigong is basically hand-to-hand.
