What was strategic advantage of those types of corners in the fort wall? |
Date: March 19th, 2025 8:06 AM Author: THE KING OF RALLIES just a guess - to make a nook to store shit and to give better visibility when trying to defend.
Intruders would not go for the fortified and manned corners, but would instead go for the straight recessed middle portions. This allows the men in the corners with arms to shoot the intruders in the back, further protecting against return fire. |
