Be level 81 and run in with an overpowered chaos stalhrim sword of lifeleech (This is by far the most effective tactic ever in skyrim. Everything becomes a cakewalk)

However, if you can't do that, because either a:low level b:no DLC or c:because you just cannot, you can try:

1. If you are a mage, battlemage or spellsword, use flame spells. They do 50% more damage to vamps. As long as you learnt fireball and have lots of magicka, should not be hard. If you already have fortify destruction 100%, consider buying an incinerate tome, which is the best friend of a vampire slayer.

2. If you killed Malkoran already, use Dawnbreaker. No vampire will stand up to its grand power. If you are a battlemage as above, Dawnbreaker helps even more.

3. If you can sneak, do as DragonGirl tells you. She isn't wrong

4. If you don't mind and have dawnguard DLC, suck the vamps dry by being a vamp yourself, except be a vamp lord.

5. If you can smith well, make a daedric sword and improve it. Problem solved.

6. If you cannot do any of the above, consider using a silver sword and firebolt. Both are cheap (silver swords are free, loot them from silver hand), firebolt is very cheap and can be bought from a court wizard for 200 septims. It is also very magicka efficient.

7. If still cannot, set the difficulty to novice. It should be easy.

8. If the thing is still undoable, consider doing other things and levelling up substantially before coming back.
