I really depends on the situation, but usually I like to goad the opponent into attacking with my own ranged harrassment and charge my spears in to meet the charge head on.
Another note on tactics:
If I can I will manuever almost my whole attacking army trying to flank the opponent on equal elevation. This usually causes the A.I. to reposition to avoid the flanking manuever and makes for great horse-archer harrasment opportunities.
In one particular battle I made the A.I. move it's army in three directions at once! This was caused by my broad flank on one side counterbalanced with a series of mounted harrassments on the other. Sufficed to say the strungout and disordered opponent made for easy pickings when I charged my main force in for the kill.
