How to get horsemen to successfully charge enemy running away (but not routed)?

I dont know why it makes a difference for me but I was chasing an army in a city under siege and this army was not running away or retreating per say, it was merely trying to get into the inner walls. But I kept double clicking them and my cavalry would basically start charging then once they reach the point where the enemy was when I clicked on them they stop... so I keep repeating the charge order and they just trot up to the position their army was when I clicked on them, they dont actually pursue the army anymore.

yet when I do this kind thing against armies who are routed I have no such problem, they run up and mow them down like they are supposed to.

Any idea whats going on?

Just tell them to charge once, and then don't keep double-clicking the enemy. I've had issues in the past where the game confuses my double-clicks as a single click and so then it starts walking.

This problem also made it almost impossible for me to get units to run in RTW
