Only by outworks. At a distance from your walls equal to the range of the trebuchet, dig trenches and fill them with archers. A trench is too small a target for the trebuchet, and easily defended against both cavalry and infantry. Unfortunately, this will multiply by several times the perimeter of your defences, and a village probably won't contain enough men to man the trenches. If I were you, and I saw the enemy arriving with a trebuchet, I should run like hell.

How far could a trebuchet shoot?

A trebuchet can typically launch projectiles anywhere from 300 to 1,000 feet, depending on its size and design. Larger, more powerful trebuchets, like those used in historical sieges, could achieve even greater distances. The effective range is influenced by factors such as the weight of the projectile, the angle of launch, and the counterweight's mass. Overall, the specific distance varies widely based on the construction and intended use of the trebuchet.
