The walls or base should've been sloped. It would've helped against low flying projectiles such as cannonballs.

there's a bunch of turks on the wrong side of the wall for starters

Seriously though. Just LOOK at this girth.

Done.

>>1480896
You don't use walls for cannonballs, you use earthworks and your own cannons.

>sappers are unprotected
Are you an idiot?

Those defences could easily be undone by efficent sapping.

>>1481189
Well, the moat should help to moisten the ground and make it much more painful to tunnel.

But really the only real defense against sappers is counter-tunneling.

>>1481189
Then why did it take a thousand years and the invention of canons to get past the land walls?

Surely one of the dozens of empires and peoples that laid siege to Constantinople would have tried such a brilliant plan.

Persians did it.

They did.

Sapping is historically extremely under rated.

Sappers are defeated by counter sapping. Sappers tried to sap the theodosian walls and were beaten this way

All you need is 2 guys 1 canoe and 1 ladder and you are in that thing on a moonless night

A solid contender for best designed wall in history

I cannot deny it.

Supposedly all the breaches were held quite effectively against Mehmed's forces. However somewhere someone just fucking left a door open and the Turks rushed in. Not long after that it was a route.

Long story short, a Turk in the distant future has a time machine and really hates Greeks.

That still means the cannon pierced the walls and it was the infantry that held off the besiegers.

That being said artillery is the answer to just about every entrenched position so whatever.

>>1480854

The people guarding it.
