| Siege - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4682 words) |
| A siege is a prolonged military blockade and assault of a city or fortress with the intent of conquering by force or attrition. |
| Sieges usually involve surrounding the target and blocking the provision of supplies, typically coupled with siege engines, artillery bombardment or sapping (also known as mining) to reduce fortifications. |
| Although siege warfare had moved out from an urban setting because city walls had become ineffective against modern weapons, trench warfare was nonetheless able to utilize many of the techniques of siege warfare in its prosecution (sapping, mining, barrage and, of course, attrition) but on a much larger scale and on a greatly extended front. |
