Which consequence resulted from deploying concentrated ballista fire against medieval castle walls?

💡 Explanation

Localized stone crushing happened because concentrated ballista fire's impact caused highly localized stress exceeding the material's compressive strength. Therefore stone crushes, creating weak points, rather than uniform oxidation/corrosion spread or timber deterioration that need different conditions over long exposure.
