If you don't let the enemy advance first they will not attack the rear as the rear is still the enemies in the front rows. So the solution is to put them way back and set them to either hold and attack rear or guard commander, and then set the commander to holdx3-4 and attack rear. All depending on what enemy you face. Works pretty well if you do it right.

Light Cavalry are also good raiders and pillagers.
