How many knights are we talking here Ribbon? Cause they usually range in the 5-10 area, which you should be able to counter with a handful of your own knights and the tactics I detailed earlier. Additionally, you can recruit some mages with 2A (2 Air) magic and script them to lightning bolt x5 and all your troops to Hold&Attack and Fire. One or two mages like that will really savage a knight block. Be sure to bring chaff. And I really mean chaff! What is your cheapest unit? Slingers? Militia? Use those to sacrifice on the knight lances.
