The defenders quickly rushed to the pallisade, firing upon the testudo with their archers. Being mediocre archers at best, the arrows mostly glanced harmlessly off the testudo, though a few of the arrows got lodged in the shield, which would hinder movement. 23rd of Second Seed

The testudo was easily able to maintain its formation under the arrow fire. The arrows weren't much of a problem, at least while they still moved in formation. Luckily there were no casualties as of yet.

"Fire catapults one and three," the commander said.

"Catapults ONE and THREE! FIRE!" another relayed the message much louder. As the order went out, those catapults released their payloads. Catapult one was a group of three medium-sized boulders, which went flying directly at the gate. Catapult three contained a massive piece of desert dried mud, which went sailing overhead. It impacted the guard's barracks, not enough to destroy it or anything but instead caving the entrance a bit. This would at least delay more defenders from coming from the barracks.
