Re: Garrison dieing off - Why?
Disease would be a major factor. A time-honoured method of getting a city to surrender is to contaminate water supply, lobbing carcasses over city walls (more a medieval thing), and also waste and rubbish of various kinds would be pooling up inside the city. Also, this was long before refrigeration, so you may well have huge storages of food, but how well will that food keep?
