Actually, it is pretty unrealistic to deliberately target your allies, whom you have carefully avoiding shooting at earlier, when the enemy has been defeated. Friendly fire happens mostly as a result of mistaken identities under adverse conditions, not as a result of firing at known friendly positions once you can no longer see any targets. If the archers thought those mages were dangerous as a result of mistaken identity, they should have shot them in the FIRST round, not waited until there were no other enemies near 
I guess you could try the "Sorry, lord God, we thought the mage squad was enslaved by the enemy pretender when his army routed" excuse, but you would still be executed for it.
