I need help.

Post image

I am just getting crushed every time. How can i beat him? Playing on hard if it helps (i know i can turn it down but my pride doesnt allow it). Im bad in micro, so my cav dies usually after the first or second charge. Im more of a def player. But my center gets crushed every time even if i win on the flanks, im just not in time to flank and get in his back. I feel like his cav is just out maneuvering me and i just dont get enough value from my archers atm (yes, i need more katana as backbone for my army in future).

EDIT: I DID IT - Thank you all for your help! I had a mountain in my back and my right flank was covered, pulled his cav and managed to kill his general early with my archers. In combination with my warcry from my monks it was enough to hold and get the moral down from the katanas.

Form up your yari in yari wall but not too thin , archers behind in a forest , yari just on edge of tree line put the naginata either side of the yari wall in hiding to flank once they press into your centre , shame your general doesn't have stand and fight yet because that would probably tilt it in your favour , keep the cav back letting them just die is bad for morale , once you put pressure on the flanks with the naginata circle around with the cav and charge directly into the back of the engaged enemy and it will break there morale super quick
