What is a scaling tower?
Quite simply, the tower is rolled up to the enemy wall, whereupon attacking soldiers climb it from the inside and pour over the wall. It was a much safer way of breaching a wall than with scaling ladders, as the scaling tower was heavily protected from arrows, javelins, and other missiles hurled at them by the defenders, and soldiers on top of the tower provided covering fire for those climbing onto the enemy wall. Yet, it took time to get the tower into position, which made no secret to the defenders of where the breach was intended. For this reason, several towers were used at the same time whenever possible, and they were very effective.

How long did a medieval siege usually go on for?
Sieges could last many weeks or months, depending on the quality of the siege artillery, the usage of siege towers and scaling ladders (both of which did not require destroying defences before invasion) as well as supplies for the attackers and the defenders. Attrition due to a lack of food supply or disease were often reasons for sieges to last a much shorter time than they would have done otherwise.
