X-bows forming thick boxes. While musketeers are spread out in a long line to make better use of thier firepower more efficienty. Misseles weakens and demoralizes enemy formations very quickly. Some of the weaker units routes before even approuaching the line. Sometimes it's important to prioritze armoured cavalary with missle units. Enemy infantry units will start dying as collateral damage. Once enemy line are somewhat close charge them down with heavy cavalary, this usally provokes routing instantly. If not, sent HC back and charge with infantry the remains of enemy army. Micromanage HC to help the infantry.
If enemy army is just waiting there, use artilery to blast their toughest units from afar. When use musketeers to outshot their missle units.
Broken lance cavalary is used to clean up the routing troops as they move faster than heavily armoured cavalary. But isn't necessery.
Dealing with eastern armies is a bit more difficult and may require more cavalary and X-bows at expense of heavy infantry.
