A siege is a military tactic in which an army surrounds a fortified location, such as a city or castle, in order to cut off essential supplies and force the defenders to surrender. During a siege, the attacking force typically uses various strategies, such as blockades, bombardments, and mining, to weaken the defenses of the besieged location. The goal of a siege is to compel the defenders to capitulate due to a lack of resources or the imminent threat of a successful breach of their defenses. Sieges have been a common method of warfare throughout history, with notable examples including the Siege of Constantinople and the Siege of Leningrad.
