Cavalry soldiers fought primarily on horseback, utilizing their mobility and speed to outmaneuver enemy forces. They engaged in direct combat using weapons such as sabers, lances, and pistols, often charging into enemy lines to break formations. Cavalry units also performed reconnaissance missions and flanking maneuvers, leveraging their agility to disrupt and harass infantry formations. In addition to skirmishing, they supported infantry by providing a rapid response to threats on the battlefield.

The group of soldiers that stood in a square formation to fight cavalry was known as the "phalanx." This ancient military formation, predominantly used by Greek hoplites, consisted of heavily armed infantry soldiers arranged in a tight, rectangular formation. The phalanx was designed to present a solid front against enemy charges, including cavalry, by utilizing overlapping shields and long spears (sarissas) to create a formidable barrier.
