If you have your men in a huddle they'll be easy prey for archers. Tell your men to spread out multiple times and then charge on in. If you're on a horse and have a good shield you can circle around the enemy (which should cause all or most of them to shoot at you instead of your charging men). Once your men close to melee range the archers will change their weapons and you can either dive in to help or simply sit back and watch the massacre. | If you have your men in a huddle they'll be easy prey for archers.

Another strategy that works well is simply have your infantry line up into a shield wall. Enemy AI archers will not usually aim for headshots, so your infantrys large sheilds are able to withstand most attacks until the archers run out of arrows, in wich case they'll usually charge and get cut down one by one. Never use this tactic against cavalry archers, as your men will get flanked and cut down from behind. | |||
