That is pretty much how you get through any encounter.
Hold block/parry/defend the entire fight, and counter every single attack. When you get a knock down rather than a kill, either switch to hidden blade and kill them in 1 go, or just slash them a few times with your sword. The enemies get stronger, but your sword also does more damage later in so it ends up about the same.
Spoiler (highlight to read):
In saying that, the Robert de Sable fight (I think it was that one) with the 20 guys (10ish of which were templars) then Robert straight after, was pretty tough.
