In evil embark.

1. Dig/Build small chamber with a hole in the ceiling with one end open to the surface.
2. Seal off open end of chamber with a magma-safe raising drawbridge.
3. Devise method to pipe magma into chamber and drain it.
4. Set cage traps in caverns and on surface in places normally frequented by zombified creatures.
5. Pit/Pond Zombie animals into chamber.
6. Trickle magma into chamber to set zombified animals on fire, then drain the magma. Most of them should burn indefinitely.
7. Wait for siege.
8. Drop drawbridge when siege shows up causing the invaders to have to fight a hoard of burning undead creatures.

To make this more effective devise a method to lure invaders in close so that they are forced into close combat with undead. Though most undead I've seen have been killed quickly by goblins I think a burning one might set the invaders on fire if they try to engage it in CC. Have to test this method.

1. Dig/Build small chamber with a hole in the ceiling with one end open to the surface.
2. Seal off open end of chamber with a magma-safe raising drawbridge.
3. Cover the floor in one giant raising drawbridge, facing one of the flat walls, connected to a lever.
4. Set cage traps in caverns and on surface in places normally frequented by zombified creatures.
5. Pit/Pond Zombie animals into chamber.
6. Pull lever.
7. Wait for siege.
8. Drop drawbridge when siege shows up causing the invaders to by atomsmashed. Alternatively, raise the drawbridge.

A 1 width drawbridge won't atom-smash many invaders. Plus I was going for creative, not practical.

Creative?

I mean for the drawbridge to be raised.
Throwing all those upon it to be splattered against the opposite wall.

...Wait, 1 tile wide? That's no fun...

The undead will probably not fight the goblins, they will act like building destroyers though. 

So throw in a constructed artifact (e.g. door, armor stand etc), and the trolls and undeads should cluster around it indefinitely trying to destroy it and failing. They will ignore the burning, which will spread amidst the trolls, and ideally goblins too.

Oh they most definitely will

Just get the two to stay in a room together, hey presto blood everywhere.

Undead are all Building Destroyer 1 which means they can only break wooden buildings like doors and hatches. The drawbridge is mainly to keep the undead corralled so that a troll doesn't release them before I gather enough to hit critical mass.
