I had a really hilarious siege!

I attacked a german town. I killed their General early in the siege. They had 2 Spearbands left in the town square that I was hitting with archers. The pila units, I tried to use too. However, the Spearband attacked, so I just attacked with the rest of the units. Stopped the archers and flanked behind with my general. My general was reduced to about 7 or so units so I retreated him while the others duked it out. I noticed I'm losing, so I charged my general again in the back, but he DIED!!!

My army remnants routed with the exception of 1 (50+) archer unit. I emptied the arrows on the last 40 Spearbands and reduced it to 10. I charged with them but they routed too before they even hit the square!! However, I had two scorpion reinforcements limping along toward the gate (they move really slow). I shot the warbands in the townsquare until they are reduced to 6. The archers rallied and I tried to charge with them again, but they routed!! This time, they never came back. The Spearbands however stayed in the square. I had an ammo-less ballista unit that I used to enter the gates and the Spearbands attacked! I shot them with scorpions until they have 4 left and they retreated to the town square again.

Time is running out! So I charged the last 4 with the ballista unit while I shoot with the scorpions from outside (they can't enter the gates). I finally killed the last 4 Spearband!!! I was afraid they will rout like the archers.

There's about 5 minutes left in the clock when I checked. So basically, I won the siege using ballista melee and two scorpions outside the settlement. The rest of my armies routed!!
