During the Medieval period, siege weapons like trebuchets and battering rams often required diversions to be effective. A diversion would distract the defending forces, allowing the attackers to position their siege engines or breach the walls with less resistance. For instance, while defenders focused on repelling an assault at one point, a trebuchet could be effectively set up to launch projectiles at another area of the fortifications. Similarly, a battering ram could be employed more safely if defenders were preoccupied with a distraction elsewhere.
