It's a guard break. In Dark Souls III they removed the instant guard break in favor of the kick, but otherwise it functions in exactly the same way. That is to say; when your guard breaks, you get staggered and you become open to a riposte.

Whether the riposte is boosted by the Hornet Ring or not, I do not know. Although I would assume it does.
