mountain guns
Portable highland artillery
Mountain guns are lightweight artillery pieces designed to be transported through rugged terrain, typically by pack animals or disassembled and carried by soldiers.
Their portability makes them suitable for warfare in mountainous regions where heavier artillery cannot travel: The mountain guns were broken down and loaded onto mules for the ascent.
