Siege operations

Siege operations refer to military tactics where forces surround a fortified position, such as a town or castle, to cut off supplies and reinforcements, ultimately aiming to force a surrender. This involves blockading the area, using artillery to breach defenses, and often waiting for the defenders to weaken due to starvation or lack of resources. Sieges can last for weeks or months and are characterized by intense clashes, psychological warfare, and strategic planning. Historically significant, sieges have been pivotal in many conflicts, shaping the outcomes of wars and the control of territories.
