NOTE: A siege is a military blockade of a city, or fortress, with the intent of conquering by attrition, or a well-prepared assault. Sieges involve surrounding the target to block the provision of supplies and the reinforcement or escape of troops. This is typically coupled with attempts to reduce the fortifications by means of siege engines, artillery bombardment, mining, or the use of deception or treachery to bypass defenses.
