Step: 1

Before starting a siege, be sure to divide your infantry and archers into two groups.You don't have to do this, but then the AI will automatically storm the castle without your order.

Step: 2

Put these two units as close to each other as possible. And give EVERYONE press "0" the order to form a linepress "F9".

Step: 3

Press the "ready" button then wait about 2 seconds and give the order to build the wall of shields press "F8".

I also recorded a video where I use this method from the beginning to the end:

Important Information

This method doesn't work with 100% probability
Even following these instructions, 3 times out of 10 I was able to make a wall of shields.
Considering my army is made up of 50% Imperial Elite Cataphracts, this directly affects the game. So I spent a few days looking for a solution to this problem..

So write in the comments whether my guide was able to help you and how you were able to solve this bug. Or am I the only one so lucky that I decided to use the most buggy unit in the game...
Interested to read your experience with this problem.
