This is my defence plan for my currently non existent fortress. I have never got a working military before so this time I am planning out exactly how my defence and military will work. And I was wondering if this seems obviously flawed to anyone who has actually been in a siege situation before?
Note: am trying to use no, first line of defence, traps as it seems to me that the are altogether too powerful against a enemy that seems to have no defence against them.

M. is where the melee warriors train, a large number of war dogs are pastured, and where they ideally mass for expelling invaders. The basic idea is that since they are always reachable from the outside that the invaders will rush towards them and just before they finally reach them (after getting peppered by bolts) a dwarf can pull a lever and open all the doors and no matter how big the invading army is initially the dwarfs will outnumber the currently engaged enemies as much as possible.
T. is the archery tower, with both the main level and the level above that (top right) being shown.
