Siege tactics refer to the strategies and methods used to capture fortified positions, such as castles or cities, during warfare. These tactics often involve surrounding the target to cut off supplies and reinforcements, while employing various tools like battering rams, siege towers, and catapults to breach walls or defenses. In addition to direct assaults, siege tactics may include psychological warfare, such as spreading fear or misinformation to weaken the enemy's morale. Historically, successful sieges required careful planning, resource management, and coordination among troops to ensure victory while minimizing casualties.
