Here's how I took it down: Knights in the first slot, archers in the third, swordsmen in the sixth, and spearmen in the fourth. This arrangement is necessary to block the crossbowmen in the lower left corner. The knights and crossbowmen wait, the swordsmen move into position in the corner, and the spearmen charge into the weakened stack, followed by the crossbowmen and knights into the corner. The knights don't quite reach, so in the second round, the weakened stack moves to the correct cell. The crossbowmen wait, the melee units kill the weakened stack, and the knights close in on the crossbowmen in the next round. The remaining birds are shot down, and the meat tank absorbs the damage. It's all quite simple.

Yeah, that was a brilliant play. It seems to have worked out as described. Luckily, the griffons' morale never triggered. The crossbowmen don't necessarily need to wait; they can move directly into the corner, which seems safer to me, but the effect is the same.
