Obviously you can’t just have hundreds to thousands of people from both sides swinging at each other aimlessly, the massacre would be ridiculous and plus that just seems dumb. Movies always show it as massive groups running across a field and falling on each other’s swords. The front line is guaranteed to die and the back can’t do anything, and I’m sure trampling your own men would be an issue. How did armies actually engage each other?

There were actually battles in Europe where the Kings from each side would sit on their horses, next to each other, and look down upon the battlefield where the hand/sword/club exchange would take place. The victor was basically last man standing, and the Kings would trot off with the loser accepting defeat.
