Well, you counter large numbers of cavalary archers with large numbers of units that are good vs. Cavalry archers(quick or ranged and good pierce armor). If your unranged units are not as quick as cavalry archers, you should surround their forces to prevent hit and run tactics.

If you are a civ that has a camel advantage, camels might be used as well. Eagle warriors are quick to and have good pierce armor. Scorpion, mangonel, War wagon and Elephant archer are ranged and have good pierce armor. Genoese Crosbowmen are good to. If you can surround them, Huskarls can also be efficient. Skirmishers and Light cavalry are the options with the least cost.
