So, at Jena, on the same day, Ney, posted in a square, allowed thePrussian cuirassiers to charge up to within fifteen or twenty paces, when the front attacked, at his word of command, poured in a fire whichcompletely repulsed the charge, strewing the whole ground with dead andwounded. The Prussian cavalry, in that battle, are said to have been"terrified at the sight of a motionless infantry reserving its fire. " Again, at Mount Tabor, in 1798, General Kleber, marching with aninfantry division o...f only three thousand men, over an immense sandyplain, was attacked by twelve thousand Turkish horse. The French squaresresisted their successive charges for six hours, by means of volleysreserved till the enemy were at the very muzzles of their guns; whichsoon built up a rampart around them of men and horses. Bonaparte thenarrived with another division. Dividing it into two squares, he rapidlyadvanced them in such a manner as to enclose the Turks in a kind oftriangle; when, by a sudden fire upon them from three points at once, hedrove them upon each other in confusion, making them flee in everydirection.
