And Sauron's bombs were used to blast multiple large holes in the Pelennor Wall.

Gen. Grievous1138 (LOTR Mod Wiki Admin) comlink 23:54, April 7, 2017 (UTC) The books say one bomb was used at Helm's Deep. And can you cite the part about the Pelennor Wall?

If Mordor had bombs the battle of Minas Tirith should have gone like this: Voices: Nagul 1 checking in. Nazgul 2 checking in. Etc. Sauron: Nazgul King, do you read me? King: Loud and clear. Sauron. Have you encountered any SAMs yet? King: None, we’re far above bowshot and the catapults aren’t made to fire against flying foes. My wingman thinks they probably can’t see us. We’re coming down through the clouds now. Sauron: I can see you now. Nice approach. They have no idea what’s coming… (evil laugh) King: Get ready Nazguls. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Bombs away. (the Nazgul’s flying creatures let go of huge bombs that plummet down and hit the top of Minas Tirith starting a land side that destroys the whole city.) Sauron: Now get back here and stock up fast for another bombing run. We still have to take care of the elves. (background voice: I have to see Sauron!!!! We’ve discovered something called Nuclear Fission!!!!!)

"But the Orcs laughed with loud voices; and a hail of darts and arrows whistled over the wall, as Aragorn leapt down.

'''There was a roar and a blast of fire. The archway of the gate above which he had stood a moment before crumbled and crashed in smoke and dust. The barricade was scattered as if by a thunderbolt.''' Aragrn ran to the King's tower."

Checkmate. Saruman used at least two bombs. Quotes for the Pelennor wall were already provided by someone else, but I will also say that when the Rohirrim approach the Pelennor, Eomer mentions that there are many holes in the wall for them to slip through, which was a relief, as he had worried about the orcs using the wall.
