Lin Dan Khan belonged to the kind of ambitious and talented people, who were ambitious to unify Mongolia, but lacked methods, which led to the Mongol tribes to take refuge in Nurhachi, and he himself saw Nurhachi like a mouse and a cat, and was frightened by Nurhachi several times to run all over the steppe. It was also this ambitious and talented Lin Dan Khan who completely ended the once glorious Mongol Empire in his hands.

Just when Lin Dan Khan was hesitating, the big brain made an unbelievable suggestion, "Great Khan, the Great Tomorrow Son once said that if you want to reward silver, you must weigh our catties and two, I suggest that you propose to the Great Tomorrow Son to choose a place and send 10,000 troops to each to decide the winner." ”

"How sure are we of winning?" Lin Dan Khan asked.

"Last time our army was defeated, we lost with one enemy and two, and this time our army has one enemy and one against one, and the chance of victory is very great." Brainhair big suggested.

"What if the great tomorrow refuses to fight?" Lin Dan Khan asked.

"If the Great Tomorrow does not dare to fight, we can rely on cavalry to come and go like the wind, and plunder." Brainhair said.

……

Brainhair's suggestion was supported by Lin Dan Khan, and Brainhair was sent to Datong as Lin Dan Khan's envoy.

Zhu Youxiao was also stunned when he heard this suggestion, but he didn't immediately reply that his brain was big, and he decided to make a decision after discussing with Xiong Tingbi and other generals.

"The minister thought that he could fight in one battle, and the five thousand iron cavalry of our army could suppress the ten thousand iron cavalry of the enemy." Man Gui ate some leftovers in the last battle, which made him very unhappy, and when he heard about it this time, he was bent on fighting.

Mangui's 5,000 cavalry was a combination of Guanning iron cavalry and dragoons, and the 5,000 cavalry were armed with sabers and two horse guns, as well as cavalry cannons. In daily training, cavalry and infantry are trained at the same time, and in battle, in order to achieve uniformity, signal flags are used uniformly for command.

"Through the last battle, the minister found that it was the use of light cavalry to shock the well-trained infantry that had been lined up, and could not take too much advantage. There are many veterans in the first army of the Longteng Army, and the use of the first army with the five thousand cavalry of the Manchu Admiral should be able to fight. Xiong Tingbi also said.

"How sure are you?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"If the other party uses light cavalry, the minister is ten percent sure of withstanding the impact of the light cavalry, if the heavy cavalry is used, the minister is only three percent sure, but Lin Dan Khan has a total of five thousand heavy cavalry, if the Manchu general can withstand Lin Dan Khan's five thousand heavy cavalry, the minister is ten percent sure that he can win this victory." Xiong Tingbi said.

"The Teng Dragoon is His Majesty's most elite cavalry, if the minister cannot defeat Lin Dan Khan's five thousand heavy cavalry, the minister can only die to repay His Majesty's Longen." Man Gui said with an oath.

"Since both generals thought that they could fight, I agreed to fight Lin Dan Khan. It's just that this battle seems a little too cruel. Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhu Youxiao felt that the two sides participating in this battle could only fight to the death and not retreat, this is a bit like a single PK, the victory or defeat of the war must be at the cost of the annihilation of the whole army of one side, only when one side is completely wiped out, this war will be over, and the soldiers on both sides of the war have no way out.

"Once this battle is won, Lin Dan Khan will no longer want to unify Mongolia in the future, and even self-preservation will be a problem, which is extremely beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and the large and small tribes of Mongolia will no longer dare to invade my Ming Dynasty easily." Xiong Tingbi said.

"Your Majesty, if we win this battle, we will be able to deal with Jianyu with all our strength in the future, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the Ming Dynasty to fight on both sides." Man Gui also said.

Xiong Tingbi saw that Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, and he said again: "Your Majesty is merciful, if our army has the advantage, Lin Dan Khan still does not withdraw his troops, our army can take advantage of the situation to enter the army and save this 10,000-strong army in time." ”

"The location of the battle is outside Datong City, if Lin Dan Khan doesn't know how to stop when he sees the situation, I will help him stop it." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"No."

"In addition, in addition to the medals, the rewards for the soldiers who went to battle this time were promoted to one level below the head of a thousand households. The head of a thousand households and above will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver per person. Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

……

Zhu Youxiao accepted Xiong Tingbi and Man Gui's suggestion, agreed to Lin Dan Khan's request, and agreed that if Lin Dan Khan won, the Ming Dynasty would still give a reward of 40,000 taels of silver every year, and if Lin Dan Khan was defeated, he would pay a tribute of 1,000 war horses every year.

According to the agreement between the two sides, the two sides set up a position on the third day ten miles away from Datong City.

The first fiasco did not seem to have taught Lin Dan Khan enough lessons, and the 10,000 cavalry that went out this time were still light cavalry. On Zhu Youxiao's side, 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry fought.

The reason why Lin Dan Khan did not send heavy cavalry was because in the first battle, the light cavalry with a big brain did once have the upper hand with 10,000 against 20,000, and now it is 10,000 against 10,000, can't it still win? Another reason is that these 5,000 heavy cavalry is his foundation, and he will not use them unless he has to, if he uses 5,000 heavy cavalry, even if he can win, he is reluctant to damage these 5,000 heavy cavalry.

Seeing that Lin Dan Khan was still sending light cavalry, Zhu Youxiao was sure in his heart, and Xiong Tingbi also smiled, this duel, Da Ming seemed to have won the battle.

Five thousand infantry formed a phalanx in front, while five thousand cavalry stood behind the infantry on either side. According to the previously formulated strategy, once the enemy's cavalry rushed into the phalanx, the cavalry attacked from both flanks, cutting off Lin Dan Khan's cavalry, dividing Lin Dan Khan's cavalry into two parts, and attacking them separately.

"Woo woo woo woo ......" The battlefield sounded again, which was the horn of Lin Dan Khan's cavalry to attack.

Most of the 5,000 infantry this time were veterans, and their overall training and mental quality were much stronger than those of the Second and Third Armies. It is true that the light cavalry does not have much advantage in attacking such a phalanx, and is even at a disadvantage.

This situation was unexpected by Lin Dan Khan, and even the big brain didn't expect it at all, he thought that the second and third armies last time were already the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't expect that the tactical literacy of the army that went out this time was obviously a grade higher than last time.

"Your Majesty, such a phalanx can indeed restrain the cavalry, even if the enemy's cavalry can rush in, it will be quickly wiped out, and the reserves in the formation can quickly fill the gap in the middle. The minister thought that only 5,000 infantry could withstand the 10,000 cavalry. Xiong Tingbi said excitedly.

"This kind of array must not be chaotic, if it is chaotic, the whole army will be in danger, the reason why the last time the heavy losses was because the training of recruits was not enough, and the array was chaotic. As long as the array is not chaotic, it can completely withstand the cavalry impact. However, the only way to deal with such a phalanx was to use heavy cavalry charges and artillery to penetrate them. Zhu Youxiao explained.
