That's not entirely true. The Narnians and Archenlanders do not have standing forces. That's a big difference from a professional army. The Archenlanders have to have had very well trained Knights and men-at-arms, to have held back Rabadash's surprise attack in the Horse and his Boy. The Narnians were able to muster an army and ride against the Calormene troops in less than a day. That is not the mark of a "bunch" of hicks with a few badly made weapons. That is the mark of a well-trained militia populace.
