etc.

Use your chosen archers to win any ranged duals before their archers kill your lightly armored soldiers, then force them to attack by harassing them with archers. Lay back and watch them run to your spearwall. Get your women shouting and flank them with night raiders and/or chosens.
Voilá: instant rout.

Hoplites, even spartans (they tend to be the first ones to rout, for some reason they are really afraid of women), don't stand a chance. Actually it will beat the hell out of almost any infantry army, although phalangites will just walk over the spearmen.
