So, having mounts allows you to open access to the ballista faster, and its defense is one of the Vit's priorities. Although, it's still an open question whether it's better to rush forward when there's an opportunity and block the path of the paladins, or to stand in defense. But if you're already cornered, then you have to stand your ground; I don't think there are any other options.
