"Shogun 2": How to match the strongest weapons of the Samurai clan?

First of all, choose traditional soldiers, the strongest ones.

In the middle, you need to open the battle line, and then upgrade the two most important skills. Kneeling and Suppressing Kneeling. After upgrading, the rifle firepower will be doubled, and Suppression can suppress the opponent's melee troops.

Then open two rows of long dragons on the battle line. At least use the battle line infantry so that you can use two skills. You can mix the sharpshooters in the middle to shoot in advance. If you have money and technology, you can replace the battle line infantry with the Emperor's Guards.

Or a high morale unit like the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps should be considered the strongest. Although the shooting and reloading are slightly inferior to the Emperor's Guard, their morale and close combat capabilities are high.

Then arrange a second line of troops in the back row of the infantry, allowing the jammed lancers to stand behind and shoot. You can also arrange a second row of infantry to guard against the morale collapse of the first row or being entangled in close combat and unable to shoot.

Arrange infantry or spearmen or various high-level melee units on the left and right sides to protect the flanks and prevent the opponent's cavalry or melee units from attacking the flanks. To cover the flanks, do not charge in advance unless the opponent's melee fighters are about to rush in front of your battle line and your morale is still there.

If it doesn't collapse, at this time, quickly recruit the cheapest gunmen to fight with the opponent.

Then the cavalry was deployed on both sides. After the battle lines on both sides began to shoot at each other, the cavalry went up to charge behind or attack the opponent's flank.

Of course, if there is artillery, place the artillery at the rear, and then be sure to send gunners to protect the artillery to prevent the opponent's cavalry from attacking the artillery from the flanks. If the machine gun team is placed directly behind the battle line, the front must be free, otherwise the enemy will not be able to attack the artillery.

If you do it yourself, you will be mowed down by your own machine gun.

Then, don’t use kneeling fire and wait for the enemy to charge. If no one has as many rifles in the wild and you have a lot of hand-to-hand combat, you must decisively let the riflemen rush forward and fight hand-to-hand, otherwise you will be shot at the white flag.
