How do you defend a motte and Bailey?

To defend a motte and bailey castle, get all of the best archers and make them fire as hard as they can. Then, get all of your catapults near the closest wall and fire them with fireballs inside them. After that, most of the enemies are dead and all you need to do is check that nobody has managed to get into the castle, so send off your greatest warriors to patrol the building. While that goes on, send some of your nights out of the castle and capture any hidden enemies, they should become brilliant warriors, why waste a trained soldier? And that, my friends, is how to defend a motte and bailey castle.
