" (since armor can't reduce attack lower than 1)"

This is incorrect. Armor can reduce attack to 0, however, if the final damage value is 0, it will be pushed up to 1 (this is done right at the end of the damage output calculation).

So FU Slingers have 9 attack, which gets reduced to 0 from the Huskarl's 10 pierce armor (it can go to 0 in the calculation but not to negative damage values. Negative armor is different entirely). Then the +10 attack vs infantry is added meaning they deal 10 damage to Huskarls.

So it's not 9, it's not 11, it's 10. Right in the middle. Lol
