RE: 2 SBD Bounty - Which War In History Was Won By A Siege Where Water Supply Was Blocked

His engineers team built a causeway that was originally about 50-60m wide and reached the range of his torsion-powered artillery. Meanwhile his soldiers pushed siege towers housing stone throwers and light catapults to bomb the city walls.
