During Roman sieges using the 'Tortoise' formation, which consequence occurred when rapid structural disassembly was required due to unexpected intense heat?

💡 Explanation

Premature shield separation occurs due to differential thermal expansion from flames impacting the assembled wood structure and rapidly weakening joints; this is a case of thermal stress causing mechanical loosening; therefore structural integrity falters early rather than maintaining formation during removal.
