The walls in Homer's epic are so mighty that the siege of Troy by Achaeans (Homer), Achaeans lasts more than nine years, and only could be finished with the trickery of the Trojan Horse. Sections of the stone base of Trojan walls still survive on the archaeological site in present-day ''Hisarlık'', in Çanakkale Province.

There was a new element in the battlefield: the Ottoman army had Gunpowder, powder cannon and the walls offered limited resistance to them.
