I've not had a -10 tactical, but what I've taken to is retreating to one of the mountains, and letting the host follow me there. Lots of steep hills neutralise cavalry a lot, and a decent bow skill can pick off most of the 2 handed weapons from range, and then I only have to fight the shieldsmen when they come up to me. The hills also give me something to hide behind when the archers come out to play.
Since I fight in the hills by telling all my troops to hide at the start position anyway, this doesn't actually disadvantage me all that much, even when outnumbered 6 to 1.
