What kind of tactics would have been used in late 19th century battles?

This is when single shot rifles started to be used, like the Russian Berdan.

What kind of tactics would be used, would they still be using line formations, etc or did the tactics start to become more modern, like trenches and so forth

Here, this thread is just what you want! :)

We often hear about how war changed in the 20th century due to machine guns and tanks, but how was warfare revolutionized in the 19th century through technological advances? Were there any precursors to the 20th century's changes?
