How did Romans fought Cavalry with their short swords?
Shock cavalry? A deep, solid block of infantry which holds its ground can repel cavalry without spears. Infantry is denser and horses cannot trample a dense mass of men; when the horseman stops, he's facing attack from all sides and unable to turn.

Does lances solve this problem for cavalry? The cavalry can engage a solid blow at range while turning at the last moment?
