I  would suggest using overwhelming force on your first  few turns.
But if that didn`t work:

You will always get in a volley of missile fire.

Maybe even using some miracles to do damage: Disease, Call Monster
Poison and Ytcal`s Touch are all good for this.

A simple Ball of Fire spell would probably wipe them out too.
