Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc Render (Siege machines): Battering Ram Siege armies used a battering ram to break down a gatehouse door or even smash a castle wall. The battering ram houses a framework in the form of a covered shed, in which a thick tree trunk was hung on chains suspended from a beam above. Carpenters would sharpen the trunk into a blunt point. The slow forward movement as the battering ram was wheeled toward the castle wall also earned it the nickname "tortoise." Troops swing the hanging trunk back and forth, and the forward end of the trunk moved in and out of the shed like a tortoise's head, battering its target.Castle defenders can destroy the shed with explosive arrows while the siege troops cover the battering ram with animal pelts or rawhide for protection against fire. — Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc Render (Siege machines):
