Done correctly you will never need to hit and run because you will easily win at the "hit" stage. Who needs to run?

Wall the entire entrance, and then leave some space in between and make a second wall. Put your three castles behind this "moat".

Next, and this is important - line up 10+ siege onagers behind the moat, scattered to avoid splash damage. Most of Bohemia's troops are melee, i.e. Paladins, champions, siege rams. Nothing will even get past your first player of walls (you still have a second wall line) because your siege onagers will massacre anything that dares touch the wall. Your castles are just backup - castles dont do shit to rams or paladins. The game hints are bad advice.

Bohemia has siege onagers as well, which will trade with yours, but with three castles and a nearby siege workshop you will come out on top.

Lastly, use 6 trebutchets to safely and lazily take out Bohemia's 3 trebs, without any need to leave your comfort zone. There is no need to send anyone outside your moat....that could be dangerous.
