Why do enemies always target my archers?

Why do enemies always target my archers? - Person Holding a Bow and Arrow

When engaging in a battle with melee enemies, they always make a complete charge to damage my archers. They will forgo any defense and just charge right at them.

Why do enemies favour this strategy? As archers are not that strong, I assume they are an easy target.

So what tactics can I use to protect them, other than backing them into a tile and surrounding them with melee soldiers.
