Either disband all units except for FM's and wait until you have enough money to build a large army. Then defeat the rebels with that and take 1 or 2 cities. After that it is a walkover.
Or do as you do now (although I would train a unit of slinger instead of building roads).
Use Casse chariots as a psychological weapon. They are secretly the best unit in EB.
Just hold the enemy and let them tire out while keeping your FM's close to boost your troops morale and damage the enemy's. Then, drive through the enemy with your chariots (not charging, just clicking right of them and them clicking left of them so they drive strait through them. Bang, massive rout.
Also, the chariots die once they enter melee. So keep them either totally out of the fight or keep them moving all the time!
