This is actually a surprisingly effective way to lead a battle, it just requires two things.
1) Your regular infantry can match the enemy's after being hit by archers and fighting on disadvanteous ground.
2) You can flank them with superior melee numbers - I find that when defending the AI doesn't try to hard to flank you.
So better troops and higher numbers will support this strategy.
But wait! Then you are already winning!
If you are not already winning, then you need archers, and you need cavalry even more...
