[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] used the cannons to defend Monteriggioni against the Borgia army to allow the citizens to escape the city. He aimed the cannons at the Borgia cannons to minimize the damage they would do to the city walls. However, Monteriggioni and its [[mercenaries]] were no match for the attacking army.
