Xcert SG the ladder is at an angle to the wall...push away already will still fall back to the wall because of gravity... now who is the stupid one?
Hardo_Gay SG If they used catapults , it would be a very slow victory and by time the soldiers finished pushing the catapults to the enemies base , they would be exhausted - That's a battle half lost Sacrificing 1/4 of the army to gain control/access of the City is well worthed , higher rate of winning chances . It may seem stupid but it's a good strategy.
fudgester SG Okay, then. Please come up with a plan to capture a fortified city. And no, you must only use the technology of the time.... no such thing as heli insertion, parachuting, or airstrike, please.
Q.C.Pak SG Constancebay will also need evidence to back up his findings... if not..fudgester will OBJECTION!!
HyuugaNeji SG The show(conqueror's story) didnt show it correctly. I believe those soldiers wore helmet and carry shield when going up the ladder. And i believe they only go up the ladder when the city gates are already open and everyone is fighting and no one is throwing down rocks anymore.
Deino SG actually i was insulting him since he says that the people of the past are stupid...... unless you're sayin that he is an insult to the people of the past
EarlNeo SG MY advise to TS is... plz read more b4 u comment on a TV drama.... Just FYI, the period setting for the TV drama is during the bronze age (BC period). Meaning it is very long ago. Beside, you dun expect a TV drama to replicate the actual scenario of that time. Most of the thing we know about them are thru guess/studies base on artifact or record left behind by them. If u do see carefully, paper wasnt invented then. They used bamboo as a media of record. Which decay easily. Dun go ard telling the whole world how stupid ppl in the past are when all u know is so limited. Kinda make u the frog in the well.
deathbait SG advancing ladders were essential to cover the people who were smashing the gates. You can't wait for the gates to be smashed before advancing. That would make the battering ram duty a suicide mission. Solders that got to the top aren't used to invade the city, not by a long shot. Not enough of them can get in via the ladder fast enough. But creating chaos long enough for the battering ram, that's good enough.
eagle SG by saying he's a descendant of pple of the past, it is already insulting the people of the past he's just a frog, a descendant of that frog in that well. Just that his well got internet access only
