What battle difficulty level are you using?
Historically, dealing with skirmishers was a pain if you weren't equiped for it. A force made up entirely of heavy infantry would typically end up being exterminated by skirmishers. That said, I've never had any trouble using cavalry to mop up the enemy's light troops in EB. If you're playing on hard/very hard battle difficulty, you must realise that the results are expected to be unrealistic, since you've asked the AI to cheat and make its troops uber.
i dont know if this works in EB, but for AOEII, this wors well: i used to play as the Teutons, and their Teutonic Knights cold kill anything in thier paths(30 of them killed over 150 enemies!)- except for skirmishers. the skirmishers only did 4 damage per javelin, but many of them could be deadly. my knights were too slow o catch them, so i found the unit they were attacking, and i sent that unit back, and the skirmisher would follow and walk straight into my nights, where one swipe would kill them. so many bydrawing them in, the enemy skirmishers would follow, but i doubt that would work. the AI has to be smarter than that....
just an idea....
