When you attack the walls you will have to make your way up the ladder or siege tower while braving the enemy's shafts. At the top will be a thick group of defenders (generally archers); if you just lead your infantry straight up you may take some losses, so if you have archers of your own you may want to get them to kill or weaken the group of defenders at the entrance before you lead your infantry | When you attack the walls you will have to make your way up the ladder or siege tower while braving the enemy's shafts.

Once you have gained the walls, quickly clear out the defenders before descending into the courtyard. There will also be one or more archers in each of the side tower areas as well as infantry on the walkways. These archers pose little threat once you're on the walls, but they will cause a lot of damage if you descend to the courtyard without wiping them out. | Once you have gained the walls, quickly clear out the defenders before descending into the courtyard.
