The hoplite phalanx just before battle
#4
A "charge" has nothing to do with speed in historical texts. It is just a synonym to "advance against in order to engage in hand to hand combat". When you read about charging cavalry in a history book, it can as well mean at a very slow pace. Do not worry, this is a common misunderstanding.
