You are attacking a fortified city with a population of 6,000. The city is surrounded by a large stone wall 40 meters high, the walls are defended by 500 archers and 1500 regular foot soldiers. The gates are wooden and reinforced. The city has no cavalry. The archers carry only short ranged simple bows and are well trained. The swordsmen carry only longswords with round long sheilds and are well trained.
You have 900 foot soldiers, 100 light cavalry horsemen, no siege equipment, and no artillery. Your foot soldiers carry only longswords and round long shields and are well trained, your cavalry carry only longswords and are well trained. Your men carry the knowlege of building simple siege equipment such as ladders, battering rams, and towers but nothing else. There is a nearby forest that will provide adequate building supplies.
