Mount a battering ram on the front of the pavise and smash down a door.
Maybe the town guard "Swat" teams have this back at the keep.
Actually they do, these were called mantlets, search for wheeled mantlets and you'll see some nice medieval examples, and of course there is also a Lego version. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-537...ntlet/#details

Henry Cobb will be down at the Lego store looking for that now.
