Stone walls are substantial replacements for stakes and logs, as their cost shows. Better yet, they can be actively defended by warriors occupying the parapets, meaning only determined attackers can breach them with artillery fire or fight their way over them.
石製城牆遠比木牆堅固,當然亦造價不菲。它令城邑防禦更為提高,守軍可於胸牆後有效防禦敵軍進攻,意味著來犯者若不使用攻城武器攻破城牆,就只能攀援而上,與守軍城頭血戰。 |
