12d "Follows advice when dismissing first two in combat" (7)

L?S?E?S Looks like LISTENS for following advice, but if so don't get the parsing.

Any help much appreciated

Combat was the "lists"
(wh)en, dismissing first two.

Hi Rusty, would you explain why "lists"= "combat" please?

Yes, Magpie.
In olden times, there were tourneys involving Jousting.
These jousters were said to be "tilting at the lists".
