To soak up the arrow fire. If the Ram is in front, the Longbowmen will automatically attack the Ram until it is down. That takes a while and in the meantime the Paladins can close the gap and slaughter the Longbowmen. It must not be used, though. Paladins have 7 pierce armor and do fairly okay on their own.
