Cannon and mortars. Catapults, trebuchets and ballistae were large, cumbersome, and were limited in how forceful the the projectile could be. Cannon balls powered by gunpowder were't so limited. Cannon, mortars and other artillery were more easily transportable, could fire a couple of times per minute, and cannonballs could knock down the stone walls of most castles.

The most significant event of the 14th and 15th centuries was the battle of tours?

The Battle of Tours, fought in 732, was significant in shaping European history, but it actually occurred in the 8th century, not the 14th or 15th centuries. During the 14th and 15th centuries, key events included the Hundred Years' War and the onset of the Renaissance, which transformed art, culture, and politics in Europe. The fall of Constantinople in 1453 also marked a pivotal moment, leading to significant shifts in trade and power dynamics. Thus, while the Battle of Tours was important, it is not the defining event of the later centuries.
