It should be noted that in this world, not everyone can use magic, which along with the fact that one magic user = several regular people in terms of combat strength, plays a part in the class/noble system. It's mentioned multiple times in WN vol 2 that it's because of this that knights (which are essentially armoured magic soldiers in this world) are powerful (they wear full plate armour yet still move around like they're wearing leather armour for example), but at the same time, causes knights in this world to not be as used to working together in combat (which I find strange seeing as that should not be the case since they serve the country and all, but suspension of disbelief I suppose).
This is not to say that knights can't work together at all or are terrible commanders/strategists, because they definitely can do so if need be. But in terms of combat, they're treated something more like the heavy artillery I suppose rather than like the knights of our world.
