If enough resources are given and the battlefield is suitable, swarming is the smuggest, most effective tactic.

Frederick the Great and the oblique order of battle, specifically at the battle of Leuthen. You don't arrange your army parallel to the enemy, but rather at an angle. In so doing you can neutralize all an enemies numbers as they march over the miles long line while you concentrate all of your attack on a single point.

It was this tactic that allowed Alexander to defeat the Persians, and Frederick II to survive the Silesian wars.
