No, seriously, do they not do sieges in this alt-world?
Marching up to a wall is stupid

@Kaitensatsuma siege is pretty much non-existent in pretty much anything except actual history. So...

@aister Siege is concurrent with the invention of castles and fortified towns, exactly like the one they marched up to.
The concept of a bottleneck, like that bridge *is even older than that*.
They're dressed up like goddamn Medieval Knights Templar Aister. It'd be great if authors at least pretended to know anything about tactics of those times, like, at all.
I get "Machine Guns aren't invented yet", I don't get "We just marched out here without an apparent supply train and thought we'd be done by lunch time with this atrocity."

@Kaitensatsuma to be fair, they really did underestimate the defense and thought they could just brute force it.
and my comment refers to how most of the "sieges" portrayed in movies and most medias is just one side charged, probably with catapults, trebuchets, even putting ladders up on the wall and climb on it, firing fire arrows for apparently no reasons,... actual sieges that takes months is non-existent in movies.

I never thought I'd see a skeleton in a cloak using a machine gun to kill holy knights, but I'm glad I did.
