All that the defending army would have to do is something similar to what Alexander of Macedon's army did against Persian chariots. The line of pikes would fold out and around the sides of the Mumak as it charged. Stymied by the pikes that are prodding at its face, it would slow down while the pikemen on the sides mauled it with their pikes. However, it should take very elite units not to break under the onslaught of a giant war-beast. Ithilion, arrows, siege weapons, & heavy explosives, then? That would make sense.

Elenion, pikes only slow it down, not killing it.

Creeper, I'd say that a 500 lbs. rock thrown by a catapult, or a mis-used/hijacked strength 3 orc bomb would do significant damage... They aren't made of mithril, after all. No, pikes can kill it. If you have say, thirty guys shoving gigantic poles with sharp metal tips into your side, you would be running, or dying.
