How do you defend against an Abysian devil rush?

[Ironhawk]

The cheapest defense vs any high-defense unit is just a wack of archers. Devils have only 8 prot so even a normal short bow will wound them (tho admittedly it will take several arrows to bring down a single devil). So just buy hordes of indy archers. Expect the player controlling the devils to attack your archers and just split them up or have enough to manage.
