In the current RAW, "engage and defend" doesn't work.
If you engage the enemy, they can defend but you cannot. If the enemy chooses to avoid engaging the javelins in order to focus on the crossbows, then again javelins can't defend.
Only if the enemy first engages the javelins are the javelins able to defend.
