or you could spend your money on slingers and walls and a few hoplites and fight INside the city. you'll be unstoppable.

phalanxes and archers what you need. and of course a field army to support the besieged city.
I mostly leave phalanxes and archers for garrison duty and I leave a reserve Horse archer army for patrolling to harass the enemy before they reach to the city if they were about to siege send them to the city then harass them in each turn.

If you really need multiple sallies, try this trick: sally, save, reload the save, activate the script, sally again and so on.
Much of an exploit but if you have a city acting as a chokepoint on a frontline you want stable for some time it's efficient.

Or you can man up and fight the battle , and eventualy lose the city. then is only a matter of reconquer it.... belive me you will feel bad, for some time, but when you conquer it again you will feel wonderfull. just a hint to you never leave bording cities with out a proper garrisson, its only what you need.
Also if you have a family member nearby that city, just go with him and by all mercs you can( if you have the monney) then its a matter to bring him near the besieged city, you can atack the enemy army or sail fourth, you will have precious reinforcements. i did this trick sometimes. when i was sieged when, and where i least expecting.
