a nice tactic that i have been using on assaults on the smaller castles and walled towns:
once you break the walls or gates and start throwing your troops into the breach is to send some of your archers onto the remaining ramparts.
this gives the archers a better line of fire at the enemy over the heads of your own troops.
i usually put my infantry into defence mode to stop the enemy escaping once the initial breach is made and let the archers fire everything into the nice new kill zone.
this is especially effective when using longbows with fire arrows enabled. :hmg: :hmg: :hmg:
