Lasalle's cavalry quickly formed into an attacking "Wall Formation".
As the name suggests, a regiment of cavalry arranged into a moving wall, charging at the enemy with thunderous speed.
The shock of this formation imposes immense pressure on the enemy, likely breaking their morale before even making direct contact.
Of course, the faster the charge, the greater the impact, and the higher speed causes horses to compete instinctively with each other, creating a "horse racing" effect, making them disregard more potential dangers.
This is similar to humans; if someone falls into an excited frenzy, they tend to ignore many dangers, unleashing fierceness and acting bolder than usual.
In a cavalry clash, the courage of the horses is a very important factor.
The horses will panic before the people do. After all, unlike humans, they are animals that act on instinct, and once panicked, they will stop charging and scatter in every direction.
