← HistoryWhich tactical problem occurred when Roman siege engines continuously targeted same section of enemy walls?
A)Structural fatigue leading to collapse✓
B)Dust cloud obstructing subsequent attacks
C)Increased defender arrow accuracy
D)Lubricant failure in winching systems
💡 Explanation
When siege engines repeatedly struck same wall section material fatigue occurs due to cyclic loading weakening structural integrity leading to eventual collapse. Therefore structural fatigue collapse occurs, rather than obstructed visibility increased accuracy or winch failure which require different events.
