They are fast and can run out of an inadvantagous situation. Since they can run from mellee units, and will return if you stop chasing them, you'd better counter them with ranged units (skirmishers, mangonels or scorpions), or with fast light cavalry. Camels are fast to, but get slaugtered more easily(less armor&more costs). Mangudai can run, get rid of other chasing units and finish the camels afterwards, if you have a mixed army. They might have a bonus vs. mangonels and scorpions, but you should have sufficient siege units to make sure the enemy can't evade all bolts.

Another way to prevent them from running is surrounding them.
