If you want to catch fire is is usually best to just use one (archery is good in hitting large amounts of groups. (And lucky shots killing commanders, lone troops are usually safe
) and to put it in front, set to guard commander.
The troll walks back to the commander, drawing the archers forward in pursuit.
You do want your arrow catchers to walk trough other troops. Sure it is one turn of missile fire, but otherwise you draw the attack closest enemy troops right toward your commander.
Minor note, the second aboleth is still at risk from stray arrows in this setup above.
