How to win with a “weak” Knight?

by the way, does anyone actually use peasants? :)

Terrible attack power, due to the quantity, if used carefully. Once, in a game on teleportation maps, 3 Knights arrived at once. There were buffed Ogres standing in the passage. Gnomes, taken from reserve, were providing cover fire, and 100+ peasants were doing very well without taking damage; I just had to constantly make sure that the Ogres, if they reached, would hit the Gnomes, because after the first hit, the peasants would become unusable for combat.
