In ancient times, everyone knew that there was no developed weapon, and only cold weapons could be used to fight and attack the city, and ancient warfare was equally cruel, and the most common thing was the attack and defense of the city.
The siege soldiers set up a ladder to attack the city, why didn't the defenders just push the ladder away? The ancients were not fools, and this method must have been thought of.
In the siege of both sides will shoot arrows, the soldiers guarding the city if they dare to show their heads will definitely hit the arrows, and secondly, the weight of the ladder is not a joke, you have to use dozens of soldiers to push it.
So in the face of the enemy's ladder, they often use rolling stones, or fire attack, because the ladder is wooden, so fire attack can play a miracle effect, now everyone knows the answer, welcome to comment below!
