This must be on orcs  level 9. I haven't seen the computer cheating.
But I've seen knights crossing the lower bridges, and then stay in hiding
somewhere out of your vision, to become active after a long time. Also,
sometimes an invisible enemy knight will just stand near whatever you
have blocking the bridge, and pop trough whenever you shift some of
your men.... One of these is probably what happened here.

This is a tough level, btw. Those humans deliberately go for your peons,
the cowards...
