Redux: Battle & Tactics

Hi, what are your castle defending best practices?

I want to put in castle small garrison (1-3) units to cause maximum damage to attacker in case of assault.
What is your advice for such garrison?

Theoretically and historically very good should be archer / crossbowman units.
But my last 'quick' castle defence showed that my crossbowan didn't shoot even once before walls have been breaken,
because ... ??? ... they can't shoot throught the walls?

Is there a way to place shooting unit on the walls (I think - not, only in Rome:TW and above),
or some good spot inside castle to effectively shoot on attackers outside walls?
