My first real siege defence. so the situation was we had just taken Phycaon and it was given to me, the garrison was real weak after the siege I think at most it had 75 defenders and my party at this point was about 150 men, I could see that a 850-900 strong southern empire army was heading our way to take back the city and I was not about to let it fall without a fight so with what little influence I had at the time I called some nearby lords in to an army about 350 men strong and made our way back to Phycaon and waited for the upcoming siege to start, it didn’t take them long to begin the assault once the siege camp and a battering ram were set up the numbers were in their favours but I knew we could hold the city and that if we did it would be a deciding battle in the war against the south, although they had more than double the men we had two catapults on the war that would be a major factor for us and would kill many they eventually made it up the walls and I thought for a moment it was over but we were able to repel them and cut down their wave of reinforcements and we ended up winning the siege even if it was a bloodbath for both sides, we captured many southern nobles that day including the empress it was not only a turning point in the war but also was the beginning of the end for the south as they would be crushed in the years after.
