Hey dude, I've played through Stronghold, gotten pretty far too.
1) Build up a small castle wall, with some towers, on the side that he attacks from
2) CRAM towers FULL of archers, (put archers along the wall as well, and make sure to put a oil/burning arrow thing on the top of the towers so all your archers shoot fire arrows - it's a small item in the menu with gates and things I think) then you have the height advantage and his archers can't kill your's,
you can build a market right away too, just to supply yourself with bows temporarily while you build up your defence. But Archers are definitely the way to go with the majoity of the game for defense. Wicked game though! good luck :)
