Seeing as this wasn't a siege, thee enemy had no siege weapons and and the undead don't break ranks, they were fairly pointless and I would have sent them elsewhere. Seeing as she knows she's going into the mud gate by sea in king's landing, I don't think Danny cared that much either. At best they were a scare tactic and number in the types of battles Danny needed to have on this side of the water.
Tactically the infantry would engage other infantry then cavalry outflank the enemy infantry in order to break their formations. As Napoleon said cavalry charges should be made at the beggining, middle and end of a battle, specially on the flanks or rear of infantry otherwise engaged.
Dunno if that would work here, since the undead were not really fighting in formation and they should be quite immune to the shock value of cavalry. Still, would give them more time and a fighting chance alongside foot soldiers.
But then there is undead and dragons, what do I know?
