Some of the most effctive troops of the day were light calvary horse archers. They also used battle tactics which complimented their strengths. Hit and run, ambush, false retreats, etc. These techniques required speed, which light cav. has aplenty. Heavy melee fighters and calvary never got a chance to engage them before they were pincusioned! They did require lots of horses (sometimes 3 or 4 mounts apeice) and arrows though.
