To recap, the Coalition Army brought out a siege tower that Wu Feng Ming design. The Qin generals did not saw the structure as a real threat since its height was not even close to the highest point of the Hanghu Pass. However, when the tower reached a certain distance from the Hanghu Pass walls, its front boards were removed to reveal that it had counterweights. They were then used to pull up an iron ladder extending the siege tower’s reach enough for the ladder to latch on to the edge of the Hangu Pass.
