Why such expensive troops? Just get some cheap Arab Archer-Spearmen for the job. Should be able to deal with light skirmisher cavalry, regardless of chevrons.
Speaking of lol: I once destroyed a unit of Scythed chariots and a unit of Asian Hippakontistai at once with only one unit of these Archer-Spearmen... the Artificial Idiocy sent in the chariots first...
