Let's consider the other options:

Climbing a very good rope. I think this option is the most medieval.

Using a huge launcher brings to mind trebuchets.

An electric plane can give you a higher platform but I'm skeptical of that getting fast enough to be the bulk of a launch.

Antigravity magic? I guess that's not medieval, but I'd argue that magic is in some ways quasi-medieval.

Rockets are likely the least medieval option.

You mean big explosions targeted at the right side? If the Dark Ages had that, they would be lit!
