Armies traditionally laid siege to a town by surrounding it and cutting off its supplies. They would often build barricades or walls around the town to prevent anyone from entering or leaving. This made it difficult for the people inside to get food, water, or help from outside. The attacking army would also try to weaken the town's defenses by using weapons like catapults or cannons to break down walls. Sometimes, they would tunnel under the walls to cause them to collapse. The goal was to force the town to surrender after exhausting its resources and morale.
