Siege and other bombardment units

All of these say they can only defend (besides reducing city defenses). Are they not effective in reducing opposing units, in other words attacking?

Starting from bombards, siege units have a ranged attack against enemy units. Before that, they are strictly for siege purposes.

Thank you. Like I said the descriptions for them all state for defending only, unless I am misreading them.

The descriptions are right, these units don't have a regular attack. Ranged bombardment of units doesn't count as having an attack.

Are you sure? Because I regularly finish off near-dead units with battering rams.

He must be playing some earlier release version. They weren't able to attack earlier.
