I would doubt that a group of untrained, unarmored militia would stand up to a proper cavalry charge across solid ground. Pikes don't do you any good if the guy beside you runs away.

That's why you place a line of trained swordsmen behind them, and make sure that they know that anyone who runs will be run through.

See, it's good for morale that way.
