After the tradefire, where he, in worst case, might have a few ballistas left, you keep a small amount of ballista, eventually catapult yourself.
How many archers you need, depends on the attack of your hero, but once you get into the latelate game, as you are talking about, with heroes at level 5-600+++ you would be surprised how many ballistas will be cleaned up by 50k archers, then have a few thousand ballistas + your ATs as a backup, in case he got a very few surviving ballistas.
You will still loose some, but the amount of what you loose is rather small compared to him, even in a 65 vs 13% ress scenario where you are on the bad end
