In those cases, open up the command console (press ~) and type in auto_win attacker if you are the attacker (which is also the case if you sally during a seige) or auto_win defender. Type that in right before hitting the auto-resolve button. I wouldn't abuse it though; just use it for those cases in which you're positive that you would win if you manually fought the battle.
