Units first attack whatever is directly in front of them, then what is above them, and then what is below them. Or at least that is what I have observed. If you paired a large flying unit with one or two thugs geared to kill the oracle, you should be able to convince the oracle not to attack your thugs unless your flying unit gets killed.
Alternatively, you could give a commander a cat charm, bracers of protection, a main gauche and elf bane/smasher/dusk dagger. If you really don't care about the expense add in chainmail of displacement and switch out the bracers for a ring of regeneration. Or go for thunder bows, eyes of aiming and boots of giant strength. One of the above should work.
Actually banelords have pretty decent base defense skill (14), it's just they're wearing pretty heavy armor. If you could get one chainmail of displacement and a 0 def hat, it would be at 20 defense. That's not too shabby.
