I Usually go with the approach that they are generals, and engage in the middle of the battle with the opposing generals, with random catapult and crossbow ammo falling near them (I randomly hit them from time to time with catapults, but with a spot check they do realize and are able to avoid it). I know this is not realistic (generals fighting in the front lines? never... well almost never) but it's more heroic.
