The opposing force forms square in front of infantry, choosing a formation designed to resist cavalry. A square sacrifices effectiveness against other arms in exchange for that protection. The proposed sequence uses artillery to disrupt the dense formation, infantry to attack while it is broken up, and cavalry to pursue after it runs. Combining these arms exploits a formation chosen against only one threat.
