Wouldn't it be a simple matter of hiding and letting them come under the spell, if that was Lórien's primary defense?

But of course you deal differently with one or two wandering Men and a warband of pursuing Orcs. Lórien had various means of defense, and each of them worked best in certain way on certain cases (and above all of that there was Galadriel's Ring).
