One way is to use a catapult to knock over the walls. This is useful as it distracts the defenders from protecting the gates and entrances, and may lead to desertion, which would allow victory to the attackers.

The construction of a Shell Keep, a type of fortification used in medieval castles, typically took several years to complete, depending on factors like size, resources, and labor availability. Generally, a Shell Keep could take anywhere from 5 to 10 years to build. However, the timeline could vary significantly based on the specific circumstances of the project and the technology available at the time.
