Have big towers with ballistas or cannons to shoot far away enemies and murder holes to shoot nearby enemies. Have ranged soldiers (archers, gunmen, javelineers, etc.) up on the walls. If you think enemies are going to break through a portion of the wall, obviously have some melee troops there. Other innovations include dumping hot liquid (water, oil, whatever) onto enemies below. Also having multiple layers of walls can help.
