I don't really understand why they had the second line using trebuchets and catapults instead of the last line next to the wall, so they could continue to fire.
Feels like it closes down the retreat path having them close to the wall but I don't know. Maybe someone can explain?

Feels like inside would be impossible due to how Winterfell looks like, it doesn't have broad towers and the walls are narrow as well.

Maybe they didn't have much ammo after using all of their oil for the trench so they just figured they'd be an obstacle for the undead?
