There are two most typical applications of slash tactics. One is against the Greek heavy infantry in a straight formation, and the other is against the European armies that have entered the firearms age. In order to maximize their firepower, the formations are The general meaning of diagonal tactics is to concentrate troops on one wing, so that the entire formation will have a strengthened part (left or right wing) and a weakened part (most of the rest), so that the formation will be A slash will be formed, hence the name slash tactics or slash formation. The reinforced part has an advantage over the enemy, so when marching you should speed up your march and defeat the enemy on the front as early as possible. In order to protect the weakened part, make it retract as far back as possible, slow down its marching speed, and extend the time it takes to engage the enemy. The diagonal formation requires that the reinforced part be able to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, and then attack other parts of the enemy from the flanks, ultimately winning.
