Lagerstroemia indica climbing wall fixing hook

You can see the picture of the ladder. Why not just push it down? How can a giant be pushed down? If you can push it down, then there will certainly be no such stupid person not to push it, and no such stupid person will choose to use a ladder.

In our inherent impression, ancient times were very backward, so many weapons have nothing to learn from, but is this the case? When fighting in ancient times, people's thoughts were avant-garde and smart. As we all know, a city wall is about 10 meter, which means that if you want to put your ladder on the wall, you must exceed 10 meter. There is no doubt that this ladder has become a monster.

If the ladder is only placed on the wall, it is very unsafe. It is likely to cause the ladder to tilt. In this case, the barb on the ladder will play its due role, and you can't push the ladder at this time. And there are pulleys under the ladder, so people can push it to the wall.

Another reason is that when guarding the city tried to dismantle the ladder, he himself was a sitting duck. After all, the opponent's bow and arrow is also not long-sighted, so whoever appears in the line of sight will be shot. So under such circumstances, guarding the city and pushing down the ladder is simply the stupidest choice. Generally defenders will choose to use stones, boiling water or oil or other methods to stop the attacker's attack.

From this point of view, ancient people also had great wisdom at that time, and their military talents were even more amazing. Moreover, everything they do has their own reasons, and they won't choose such a stupid way to kick down the ladder.
