The bombard is quite powerful, has lots of HP, and is a ranged unit, meaning in large numbers, they are very potent foes. Massed together with melee units in the front row, such as the Dragon Slayer, a small squad can make short work of foes, particularly armoured foes and buildings. The high power and range of their attacks gives a large advantage over melee units.
