32. Fighting Strategies Use of variety of weapons Quick attacks Use of moat, filled with quick sand, to stop attackers – bridge is over moat and on the castle side we pull a wooden leaver which collapses downwards into the moat Watchman stationed at all entrances of the castle Disguised fighters around castle We start off on horseback to conserve our energy
34. Logistics/Supplies Many castles and cities have forfeited us before All of our people, including men, women, children, slaves, and prisoners were in our armies (knights did most aggressive fighting) Our mules, oxen, and horses pulled our supplies in carts We will put you under siege (very hard to get past)
35. Logistics/Supplies Knights slept in tents Our women were very helpful by checking for lice and other diseases Our armies eat bread, soups, fruit, vegetables, and drank beer Animals ate grass and hay Slaves got water from wells and streams Supplies were sent by ship to us We will often steal your supplies
37. Castles Offence Defense Castles have many entrances We are smart so we will find a way in Our castle is located on a rocky hill It takes effort for attackers to reach us and provides time for us to prepare
