Whiterun was built on a small mountain that was surrounded by plains. As such it was a highly defensible city. There was no way to march siege towers right up to the walls because of the rough terrain on which the walls were built, though it was possible to place siege ladders.

The only other way inside the city was through the main entrance, though with the draw bridge up and men on the battlements that path would also incur many casualties.
