Prince of Qi Ranged Artillery

Trebuchet

When besieging an enemy settlement, the first and greatest obstacle to overcome are its defences. Trebuchets launch heavy projectiles over long distances to batter down walls and barriers.

A heavy counterweight is raised to lower a beam, and the projectiles are loaded onto the beam’s sling.

A switch drops the counterweight, launching the projectiles; the impact is devastating but inaccurate, so trebuchets are best used against immobile targets such as walls rather than moving enemy troops.
