This is a intimidating level. A bunch of Genoese Crossbowmen and lots of French Cavalry.
It seems Easytech only wants to make this as painful for us as possible but if they wanted to make this historically accurate and easier, there are a few things that can be done.
In the Battle of Crecy the Genoese Crossbowmen actually fought the English Longbowmen without their shields. This left them vulnerable and they lost the archery duel. In-game, the archery duel heavily favors the Genoese. To give a representation of the Genoese vulnerability I would remove the manlet war gear and start the Genoese on low morale.
During the Genoese retreat. They were attacked by the charging French Knights either due to the retreat being seen as cowardice or them being in the way. In-game the Genoese retreat past the French cavalry and you have to awkwardly finish them off at the end. I would change the Genoese and French to be hostile to each other, causing the genoese to be attacked by the French during their charge.
I recently done this level on normal. A archery duel will incur significant casualties so I follow the suggestion to pull the archers back and let the cavalry fight the Genoese.
I finished this with a few units alive, using a few war drum to keep my Genghis alive.
