English term or phrase: siege machines
Source text:
Then a council was held, and it was ordered that siege machines should be constructed by the artisans, so that by moving them close to the wall we might accomplish our purpose, with the aid of God.

Translation:
Vēlāk tika novadīta sanāksme, kurā tika pieņemts lēmums uzkonstruēt siege machines, ar cerību, ka piebīdot tās tuvu pilsētas mūrim un paļaujoties uz dieva palīdzību, mēs varētu īstenot savus nodomus.

Iepriekš paldies!
