The rhyme doesn't actually say the king sent any horses or men.
Perhaps the story is about the king recognizing that Humpty was irreparable with his present-day technology comprised of little more than horses and men, because he was a smart king.
This post works really well if you read it in Werner Herzog's voice

Can you imagine writing something and then later finding out that people had assumed it was about giant eggs even though that was never your intent? Like you crack a copy of your life's work and the characters have all been inexplicably rendered as egg people, you inquire around and the response is always "well you didn't specify they weren't egg people, so..."
this is why John Lennon wrote I Am The Walrus. he wanted to make it explicitly clear that none of his other songs were about egg men, because there is only one. "hey, if there's an egg man in my song i'm going to get in front of it right now and tell you."
