Medieval Siege Weaponry
The Trebuchet:

Often Called as the grandfather of all artillery, this could hurl a Boulder over a Castle wall.. Proves to be deadly and it is used as a plague distributor fling dead cows over the castles.









The Mangonel:
Second only to the trebuchet, this siege machine could do more damage on infantry and cavalry. Sometimes it is called the Acient Grapeshot.





The Balista:
For people they call this machine, as the giant crossbow. this could throw anything from bolts, rocks and flaming arrows! Yikes that looks painful
