With? Bombards to take out onagers, then counter units to prevent the escort from coming close.

Without? Send a group of halbs&champions/camels&knights on attack-move, then two or three light cavalry before them in a loose formation to spam the onagers into firing at them. Unless the player uses attack ground, you will be able to close the ground before they fire again

Alternatively, keep two trebuchets handy, unpack them, and focus fire on the other trebuchet. Onagers can't match built-up defenses in the same age economically, and you will kill the other trebuchet before they can return fire. After that point, you can hide behind walls.
