καὶ μάχῃ τε ἐπεξελθόντας τοὺς Μεγαλοπολίτας ἐνίκησαν καὶ μηχάνημα ἰσχυρὸν προσάγοντες τῷ τείχει τὸν πύργον τὸν ταύτῃ διʼ αὐτοῦ σείουσι καὶ ἐς τὴν ὑστεραίαν καταρρίψειν τῷ μηχανήματι ἤλπιζον.

The sentence coordinates the defeat of the Megalopolitans with a participial siege action; τοὺς Μεγαλοπολίτας is the accusative object of ἐνίκησαν and syntactic subject of ἐπεξελθόντας. In the final clause, τὸν πύργον is object of σείουσι and understood object of καταρρίψειν; τὸν ταύτῃ is attributive, with ταύτῃ adverbial. The subject of finite verbs is understood plural (the attackers).
