The soldiers waiting to attack have bows, swords, and/or shields, which means they are prepared to attack and block any attacks that come against them. You can see that some soldiers are using ladders to scale up the tower with defenders at the top waiting for them. The defenders are outnumbered by the amount of soldiers already climbing up the tower, soldiers on the ground, and soldiers on the boat. The defenders only have swords and daggers and possibly won't be ready for when the attackers start shooting their bows at them as they would not have the shields to block them.

The location of the Byzantine Empire made it appealing to other places, meaning that the empire had to defend itself constantly as numerous people were attacking it so that they can get a piece of the territory. The armies that invaded the empire includes the Bulgars, the Muslim Caliphates, the Turkic People, the Mongols and the Ottomans. After each fight, the empire struggles more to keep up with the fights and have enough money to restock and resupply what they have.
