Figureing it out still.
they mainly used arrows, and they invented the cannons, and normal swords etc. they used the cannons to bring down castle walls. and they were very good at archery so they used that more than they used swords.
There were several attempts by Muslim armies to conquer Constantinople before Ottoman Muslim Sultan Mehmet II el-Fatih (the Conqueror) overran the city's defenses in 1453. The Muslims were unable to conquer Constantinople in those attacks because of how well the city is fortified. The Old City of Constantinople is on a small peninsula and the city walls went right up to the water. This meant that no siege weaponry could be used on three sides of the city. Correspondingly, the only land-border of the city was extremely well-fortified and developed. Additionally, since the land border was west-facing, it would require the Muslims, who were generally coming from the east, to move around the city's north or south face and given the defenders of the city enough time to prepare an effective defense.
Technically and literally, ANY castle could be besieged, it was a matter of strategy and tactical prowess.Siege engines from ballistae to cannon were able to physically damage defences in order to create breaches for troops to attack.Other siege engines like siege towers and ladders allowed soldiers to move around and over defences and invade without damaging the castle in question (since wall repairs are costly and time-consuming).Starvation, disease, fire and even chemical were frequently used to kill defenders inside the walls of a castle.Archers, crossbowmen, slingers, javelin throwers, etcetera could also kill the defenders of a castle one man at a time, but they would have to be of superior quality (as the defenders would have higher ground and walls to use as cover).

Its geographic position and protective city walls.
They had sea walls and land walls to protect invaders from entering
This are/were structures on the walls of castles or strong holds. The battlements are the area where the defenders were, buttresses are strengthening structures to the wall.
It was a strategic move of the capital of the roman empire from rome to constinople. The high walls lasted from lots of invasions.
Because that's the most efficient and cost-effective way to insulate house walls.

Repairs to rotting windows and doors are typically considered maintenance repairs rather than structural repairs. Structural repairs usually involve fixing issues related to the foundation, load-bearing walls, or support beams of a building that affect its overall stability and safety. Rotting windows and doors, while important to address, are usually seen as maintenance to prevent further damage and ensure energy efficiency.
