I never got the impression that he was this great soldier who was super loyal and did whatever he was told. He just loved doing evil shit like raping and killing and the royals took advantage of that by turning him on their enemies.

In other words, he didn't disobey orders because the Hound was his mortal enemy, we've never seen him turn down a fight and a chance to kill and I don't see why he wouldn't now.
