Always seek out ways to hit the enemy from two directions, and keep them away from the center as long as possible.
Actually Jedda doesn't have any walls whatsoever but it has such a damned big garrison to begin with. I can only spare about two regiments of spear militia and two regiments of peasant archers and a general to send there but they get annihilated. The AI keeps its forces clusterred in the centre of the town so they are unbreakable basically. Sending a larger army hardly seems worth it. Jedda itself is way out of the way and just seems like one big hassle.
