Then split your forces and be sure the one to the side of the field has orders to target enemy archers. The center force should then engage the enemy infantry, while the side force will go look for those pesky archer types. Archers tend to have low morale so they should rout quickly and your problem will then be over. This tactic should work even better if the archer-hunters have their own leader with a horror helm or other such fear-inducing item or ability.

If you outnumber (and outpower) your foe there's little reason why you should allow the enemy archers to get free shots at your leaders. If you engage the archers, they'll be too busy to shoot things you very much don't want to see killed.
