CATAPULT

CATAPULT

to try to open a hole in the wall
and then walk through it in a less
protected. The catapult worked with
a balance that with a movement
leverage threw stones. Earlier
then in castles or poorly constructed
this strategy could work because
as there was no cement was an issue
strength: stone on stone. However, very quickly,
manufacturers realized
that if they put a sloped
behind the wall with soil or
stones would be enough to keep it
standing even if damaged.
