Whenever I look at medieval warfare I’m impressed by the ingenuity and the sheer amount of manual labour to get things done.

Imagine pushing a giant armoured cart while lugging a backpack full of rocks while getting pelted with arrows and whatever else the defenders decide to throw at you. Sheesh.
