Elite Mangudai are a RANGED unit that can damage them. As only one unit can occupy a tile (glitches aside) melee units have an effective limit of 8 attacks at a single enemy. If you order 20 Elite Mangudai to attack the Trebuchet, they all attack instantly, destroying it in two volleys. (Same goes for Throwing Axeman and Mameluk, who deal melee damage at a range.) Mangudai further build up firepower in a castle, making them excellent at defending it.
