By staying within walled Troy. Part of the whole conflict between Achilles and Agamemnon is that after some initial skirmishes at the start of the invasion, the Trojans have just been hoping to wait out the Greeks either running out of supplies or leaving due to demoralization. The Greeks have wasted almost a decade of their lives just waiting for the Trojans to come out or attacking small villages surrounding the city for supplies, just so the Spartan king's marriage can be saved.

The walls were made of timber, as per Homer, and they actually broke during the siege. Trojans explicitly have to repulse invasions by sending men out to plug the gaps.

when does homer say they’re built of wood?

Are you sure you aren't mixing up the wall the Greeks build to protect their ships? That definitely gets damaged and the Greeks have to defend it precariously, but I don't recall that being the case with the Trojans.

That is what true bros do for each other. Also, the fact that Agamemnon hated his wife and wanted to be as far away from her as possible.

They weren't being bros about it, all the Greek kings wanted Helen, which was why Menelaus and Agamemnon, as powerful kings, demanded that the other Greeks defend his marriage if anyone stole her away from Menelaus. As it turns out, it ended up being a non-Greek that absconded with her.

Just turn your brain off bro, it's not that deep.
