The job of charging in and breaking up formations is that of the Scythian Riders.
Description
When the Scythian horse archers have disrupted the enemy with their clouds of arrows, the job of charging in and breaking up their formations is left to the Scythian Riders -- these are wealthier native Scythians, fast and lightly armoured, but well-trained and experienced warriors. They ride close to the enemy and launch a volley of javelins, and then pull forth their armour-piercing axes and charge with brutal ferocity. Their large shields give them good protection, while their skill at close combat makes them dangerous indeed.
