Except the axe is Armour-Piercing so thats half of the horseman's armour down for the count. Did you switch to secondary weapons or did you keep using the primary weapon? If the latter then I can easily see why the 18 axemen won.

Its funny that in a post above you complain about everyone telling you that you use the cavalry wrong, and then admit that you don't use cavalry correctly. Cavalry is going to get bogged down in a formation of infantry, and if that formation of infantry has AP weapons then any heavy cavalry is going to have a hard time.
