Siege techniques

Siege techniques involve surrounding and isolating an enemy stronghold to force surrender or disable it. Historically, sieges used methods like battering walls with heavy equipment, digging tunnels beneath defenses, or breaching gates. They often included psychological tactics like cutting off supplies and communication to weaken defenders. Modern sieges may involve artillery, air strikes, or cyberattacks to disable defenses remotely. Overall, siege tactics aim to weaken enemy resistance over time without direct, sustained assault, relying on strategic pressure, resource deprivation, and overwhelming force or technology to achieve objectives subtly or decisively.
