Why do the invading soldiers stumble?

Nahum 2:5 (ESV)

5 He remembers his officers; they stumble as they go, they hasten to the wall; the siege tower is set up.

The commander of the Babylonian army appears to call his officers to lead the army as it makes the final push to break through the walls of Nineveh. The fighting men seem to stumble in their eagerness as they hasten to the wall.1
