Difesa Delle Mura
LV 44 Codex Atlanticus F. 139 r.
Among the various defence systems Leonardo invented, of special interest in this ingenious
system for disloding enemy ladders. If the enemy managed to prop their scaling ladders
against the town walls, a long rod operated with a lever would push them away.

Λεονάρντο ντα Βίντσι

Υπεράσπιση των τειχών της πόλης.
Difesa Delle Mura
LV 44 Codex Atlanticus F. 139 r.

Μεταξύ των διαφόρων αμυντικών συστημάτων που επινόησε ο Λεονάρντο,  ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον έχει αυτό το έξυπνο σύστημα για εκτόπισμα των εχθρικών σκαλών. Εάν ο εχθρός κατάφερνε να στηρίξει τις σκάλες σκαρφαλώματος ενάντια στα τείχη της πόλης, τότε μια μακριά ράβδος η οποία λειτουργούσε με έναν μοχλό, τους απωθούσε μακριά.
