That indeed is what you are supposed to do, if you follow the French doctrine towards the end of the era. Column up slightly, find a weak point and charge!
Warning - may be even better to use a mixed line...have your recruits take the hits in a line fending off a flanking whilst your finest melee units ploughs in. Usually try and aim them at the "join" between 2 eney units, with enough momentum you can split the line and push outwards.
