if closest target was out of range(perhaps if you put your archers at the very back, or the enemy did) than your archers would have naturally tried to close the distance to their target. since Caelum's archers are flying than closing towards their target would instantly put them at melee range. so yes, that could very well be your problem.

P.S Caelum's strength isn't its archers but its mages, especially if you play EA cause the Eagle Kings are just beastly!

No, they would just move forward on foot if they are out of range. Probably the lead archer lost an arm.

In order to close the distance to their target, I've actually noticed that flying archers prefer to hoof it closer. Not entirely sure why.

Aside from that, it's possible that your archers simply ran out of ammo and the guys they dropped onto were simply the closest squad to them that wasn't already routed. I've noticed archers with ammo change their targets when the one they were shooting at runs, so it's possible that something like that happened.
