A well trained and heavily-armored company of pikes can create an almost impenetrable wall of steel, particularly effective against cavalry.
A pike is long spear around 5m in length and used two-handed. A well trained company can present enemies with a wall of almost impenetrable sharp steel that can stop a cavalry charge dead in its tracks, a fact not lost on latter Medieval armies. These soldiers wear heavier armor than their predecessors.
