Another way to fire and flee is to set a group of archers with 1 particular commander. Set them to fire and the commander to "Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, Retreat". They will fire 5 or 6 rounds (sometimes the archers fire even when the commander is in the act of retreating) when the commander is retreating or off the field his units will retreat. If both the commander and units mak it off the field, they will appear together in a nearby friendly province.

One nice thing about using this tactic is that if the fight is over before the flee, then they dont flee.
I often use flee as the final action on important people such as my prophet or my god since it will only happen IF the fight goes long. If the fight goes for more than 5 rounds then I think they SHOULD start considering pulling back into a neighboring safe province. Leave the rest of the army fighting to the end.
