Siege tactics

Siege tactics involve surrounding and blocking an enemy's fortified position, such as a castle or city, to cut off supplies, communication, and escape, with the goal of forcing surrender. Attackers might use prolonged encirclement, artillery, or battering rams to weaken defenses. Defenders may try to resist, repair walls, or break through the siege lines. The strategy relies on patience and resource management, aiming to exhaust the enemy or create opportunities for a decisive attack or negotiated surrender. Effective siege warfare requires careful planning, intelligence, and adaptability to changing conditions.
