Cavalry, or soldiers in metal armor on a horse. Infantry generally has leather armor, since it’s difficult to move quickly with metal armor. Metal armor is used when the wearer isn’t required to move quickly, like when riding a horse.

Wayne manages to avoid the cavalryman with a spear. The horse can’t run overly fast due to the weight of the armor. Wayne slashes the horse as it runs by, so it bucks before running off and the rider is knocked to the ground.
