There is no reason to let an attack plunder your city if you are on line. Just remember that all an attack does, no matter how large, is take out your fixed defenses, and take any resources that you leave lying around. The fixed defenses is a nuisance, but there is no reason to give them resources.
As I have explained before you should ship as much stuff as you have transports and troops out of your city with a camp time that puts it past the attack. Just ship to a close valley, the camp keeps it from being exposed. Then bring it back when it reappears in your close valley.
If there is more than you can ship, then sell all of it in the market. This will immediately give you gold. Turn right around and buy something like lumber with all your gold. Jut make sure the transaction goes through. It takes 30 minutes to be delivered. During that time it is completely safe. Just do this before the attack, and all your stuff will show up after the attack. You can then sell the lumber and buy whatever you need.
If you are going off line, then ship your resources to a nearby friend, or sell for gold and do the same thing.

Protecting Resources Deuce
The market trick doesn't work any more because if you are attacked the items you have posted but not sold will be pillaged. The trick I wrote about before isn't so good because the recall time is based on how long they have been out, not how far away the valley you send them to is.
So if you are immediately being attacked and you are on line, then before the attack arrives ship everything with a reinforce to a nearby valley that you own. When the attack is over, you can just recall it. The attacker can't ship the attack to that valley since it has already been launched, and anyway there is no way for them to figure out where you sent it without scouting every valley in the area.
If you know how long you want the troops to be away, and you want no chance of losses, then just send them to attack a nearby valley with all your valley slots full. You can adjust how long they will be gone by setting the camp time in the march screen. After they fight in the valley (pick a low enough level for no losses), they will come back if you don't have any valley slots open.
