The byzantine double legion was reduced to 164 men.
the infantry ran after my knights for a while, but soon they picked up a good re charging distance. The second charge killed 1 or 2 knights and 20 infantry, I orderred to retreat again, but the byzantine infantry decided to flee just after i orderred the retreat and I won. Undoubtedly the knights would go on to capture the remaining 144 men with 1 or 2 further losses.
So 12 knights for 200 byzantine infantry.
