T siege engines

Siege engines are large, mechanical devices used in ancient and medieval warfare to attack fortifications and breach defenses during a siege. They included catapults, trebuchets, battering rams, and siege towers, each designed for specific purposes. For example, catapults hurled stones or incendiary materials to damage walls, while battering rams were used to smash gates. These engines allowed armies to overcome strongholds and capture enemy cities by applying immense force or launching projectiles over walls. Their design and deployment played a crucial role in the outcome of many historical battles.
