Ballista

The armies of Wesnoth will often, during their campaigns, come across a fortified town that refuses to surrender. Instead of storming the walls of the city, they simply wheel out the artillery. The town invariably falls.

The Ballista is also effective on the battlefield, although it moves rather slowly. It is guarded by a skilled swordsman, and can shoot from extreme range.
