The siege warfare introduces a brand-new tactic, whose impact lies not in the destruction of the target but in an all-encompassing blow to the opponent's morale.
The Tang Country's Scud missile strikes on the Mirage Country were not actually fatal in their destructive effect. For a city of considerable size, the destructive power of a single missile was far from catastrophic. As long as the missile did not carry a nuclear warhead, the damage would generally remain within tolerable limits.
However, the effects of siege warfare go beyond the mere destruction of buildings; it is a brutal assault on the human psyche. Imagine ordinary civilians being randomly killed, hundreds every day — such fear inevitably spreads.
And then, as if daytime missile attacks weren't enough, the Tang Army adjusted its attack schedule to nighttime. This rendered Mirage Capital's civilians virtually unable to sleep at night.
