I think your best bet here is to lower your speed enough that you can use your archers as a meatshield. That saves the inf to meatshield against cats. Also this allows you to move your cats differently... It's likely your opponent will try and use his archers to get a jump on your cats, if he's not paying attention, he won't realize your speed is off, and miss his chance. I would start advancing the inf in round 3, and shoot at cats instead of archers with your cats. Really, the archers are more a nuisance than a threat to both your inf and and cats, but the idea is to reduce casualties as much as possible. If you are on defense, you can attempt a max speed defense to ensure hitting his cats first, but be sure to stop the cav before they reach you.
Heal skill is necessary, and a high fortune will likely be the deciding factor here.
This is a very challenging scenario, especially if your opponent knows how to command. Either side could very easily win.
