Either kite on horse in natural caves (they can be blocked by themself and start destroying mining supports) or just use storm of swords if ur melee

They are fast enough that its better to use a horse, but you can outrun most*(animals have variable speed to some degree). Even if you had 300 mc I wouldn't recommend trying to fight more than a few at once, they'll just open you too fast in most cases. My village was killing them with stats around ~50, but that is with kiting or leading them to water to kill from a boat.

even with 1000 fight with all at once - bad idea. and with kite 80 is enough.

Just to note: if you can pull them off and solo them*, they appear to have around 60-80 in combat skill and maybe a bit lower in AGI. They don't really hit all that hard, either.

Another note: they seem to be slightly slower than "sprint" speed on foot, but only slightly.

*long runs and narrow corridors will cause them to trip on each other and eventually fall behind. It's not an easy thing, though, and you do risk mine supports and other constructions in nearby areas.
