Even if he was conscious, I can't see him having the strength to summon the magic to defeat her. If he lost consciousness, the Knights of Medhir would probably leave him alone, and the same goes for Arthur if he passed out while fighting. If they were alive to fight, they'd be killed. In S1E4 Merlin was poisoned and still managed to protect Arthur (by the way, I don't think Morgause would spare him). Merlin's magic is instinctive, so it's possible, that he would be able to fight.
