ranged always attack ranged first, and if you've compacted their defense from 5k to charge range for cavalry,movement speed for anything other than cavalry/cataphracts doesn't matter anymore except in how long the attack takes to arrive.

Scouts, archers, ballistas and catapults are all ranged units that can be used to layer against opposing ranged units for any melee type unit when starting distance is at a ranged units base range + 200 and not out at 5k.
