You can put your spearmen in a schiltrom formation which will make them excellent at keeping back the Turkish infantry (and their fearsome general). You want your archers to have a clear shot at the enemy once they arrive. Position your Byzantine Spearmen facing down the hill, with your archers on the summit near them. Sultan Jalal's reinforcing army has a long way to march to actually reach you: Once the first army is dealt with, you have a long time to position your troops. If there is less than 15% of each army left over then it is utterly gone. Do not worry if your light cavalry miss them, the horse archers will eventually run to the red line where you can catch them.
