So let me get that straight. Do you have to be just close to a village or go actually in it?? Explain that to me please.
Best way to fight Khergits????

I've once stood near a village and had it's inhabitant join the enemy side as well as fight in it. That was in a mod, but I don't think it's put in purposefully by the modder, it should be the same in native.
My method is to get a big mass of strong, tough infantry, and a bunch of archers. 20 each of Nord Huscarls and Nord Veteran Archers works fine.
On top of that, I take 10 swadian knights, and a few companions in plate armour with bows on horseback. My character's set up as a horse archer with a big sword as backup.
What I do is find a nice spot to have the infantry and archers stand together. Somewhere that slows the bastards down, but not so much they stand off and hurl arrows and javelins constantly. The top of a steep-ish hill, a valley, or a river work fine. Hold this position, stand closer.
Then I tell the cavalry to follow me, and charge off to loop to the right side and around the back of the khergits, bombarding them with arrows (aiming for high-tier troops and coursers) and leading the knights through the flanks. After I've circled right around, I've aggroed their force, so they follow me back towards my infantry. I then lead them into the force of infantry repeatedly, sweeping in to take out any enemy horses standing in my ranks with my sword. All the while shooting arrows at them.
This continues until I run out of arrows, when I either go for playing chicken with the sword out, or gallop back to the baggage to refill. Eventually, they run down to a handful of troops, so I just tell everyone to charge and get on with mopping up the last few dehorsed buggers and the last few cavalry.
This doesen't work so well when they're got rhodoks and swadians and vaegirs in their ranks.
However, the strategy works against ANY cavalry. Take on caravans, lead the guards into your troops, then have the mass of infantry charge theirs.

all very interesting

My favourite method of fighting Khergits is to get yourself plenty of top-tier infantry and stand right by the border of the map. That way if the Khergits charge forward, they get stuck between your troops and the map border and die easily. If they decide to slowly outflank you, they eventually end up the same as above. They have no chance of encircling your warband and hurling projectiles. Also it's obvious that you should look for hills, rivers and woods if possible while fighting cavalry-based armies.
In my opinion, it is a long line of Rhodok spearmen. Their shields are big enough to block 90% of the Khergit's arrows, and if the cavalry charges you then the spears force the horses to stop. That gives them time to either kill the horse or the rider. Just don't tell your guys to charge.
Ulfhednar's idea is pretty similar, but I hate the way it looks with everyone stuck against an invisible wall.

Swadian Vs. Khergit is THE most boring battle in the game. All that chasing
That works quite well but is kind of "cheating" since you take advantage of the games borders...Ulfhednar 说:

My method is immediately cram your infantry as close together as you can and tell them to hold their ground.
Theyll put their shields up, and the Khergits will just keep firing on you until they run out of arrows, most of the arrows will be stopped by your infantry's shields.
After this happens, they will have no other option than to charge into your thick mass of infantrymen.
The coursers and steppe horses used by Khergits do not have high charge, which mean they will slow down considerably, and most of the time stop altogether.
This will allow your tightly packed mass of infantry to swarm around your now-weakened adversary and quickly kill his lightly armored horse,
After dehorsing your lil Khergit, let your men rip his hide to pieces.
Rinse and repeat till all them Mongol-esque bastards are in pieces strewn across the battlefield

That tactic works but since I don't have the time to spend one hour on a single battle, I usually don't wait for them to run out of arrows

You'd be surprised. Khergits dont really have minds of their own, so if there are none of your men out in the open for them to attack as a horde, you're ok, and theyll stick relatively close to you. And ive found that when one attacks, hes rarely alone, so you can kill a few of them in a single one of their charges.
Just set your units against the edge of the battle map. khergits will just get stuck in the sidelines and you get a cleanswipe.
it will look somewhat like this:
works on every terrain.

I personally think thats kind of lame. Instead why don't you just press Control + Shift + F4?? Thats about the same
yep, but chasing them gets boring after a while

The goodies that come with the men are not half of what you are paying wages for, a naked huscarl could probably beat down a farmer in plate with a barchide.
lol, that one might be a little bit extreme
