RE~CAPTURE AND RE~AUTHORIZE OF Captured

Keterangan / Row-Categorization	II. ATTACK FRAMEWORK	I. DEFENSE FRAMEWORK	III. COUNTER-ATTACK FRAMEWORK
PHASE 1: AUTHORIZE / PLAN
1. Initial Setup & Verification	Conduct reconnaissance on castle geometry, wall thickness, moat depth, and guard rotations. Issue formal feudal summons for knights, foot soldiers, archers, and specialized mercenaries. Contract specialized siege engineers, carpenters, sappers, blacksmiths, and stone cutters. Mobilize supply trains with iron, timber-cutting tools, rope, tents, and food stores.	Elevate and secure all drawbridges using counterweight winches. Drop outer and inner iron-reinforced oak portcullises into vertical track grooves. Lock, bolt, and bar all sally ports, postern gates, and main gatehouse entryways. Raise heavy oak wooden shutters over all crenels, arrow loops, and embrasures.	Confirm complete collapse or retreat of primary enemy breaching forces along the perimeter. Send rapid scouts to verify whether the enemy retreat is a genuine rout or a feigned ambush. Secure all captured enemy prisoners, abandoned banners, and wounded on the battlefield. Signal the end of total defensive lockdown to key keep officers and tower commanders.
2. Force Mobilization & Investment	Construct an inner wall line (circumvallation) facing inward to prevent defender escapes or sorties. Construct an outer wall line (contravallation) facing outward to block approaching relief armies. Dig deep perimeter ditches and throw up earthworks lined with wooden stakes around both lines. Establish fortified siege camps, command quarters, and perimeter guard towers outside archery range.	Drive local livestock (cattle, sheep, swine) into outer wards and subterranean vaults. Transport grain, flour, salted meats, and dried legumes into dry keep cellars. Verify integrity, depth, and contamination-sealing of all inner courtyard water wells. Inventory emergency medical supplies, including wine, vinegar, linen bandages, and salves.	Unbar sally ports, lower drawbridges, and open main gatehouses for outgoing cavalry and shock infantry. Mobilize rested garrison reserves, mounted knights, and lightly armored archers for fast pursuit. Issue immediate field command directives to transition squad leaders from wall defense to open-field tactics. Establish clear operational objectives: destroy siege engines, capture the enemy camp, or pursue the fleeing army.
3. Tactical Operations & Conversion	Send heralds under flags of truce to demand immediate surrender under threat of no quarter. Offer bribes, secret pardons, or titles to garrison officers or gatekeepers for betrayal. Intercept incoming carrier pigeons, messengers, and relief scouts to cut off communications. Infiltrate spies or disguised agents into the fortress before total investment closes.	Burn down all suburban timber housing, outbuildings, and mills outside castle walls. Catter and ruin surrounding standing grain crops, haystacks, and vegetable gardens. Poison, fill, or divert outer streams, ponds, and open wells outside the perimeter. Clear all standing timber and stone structures to deprive attackers of raw materials and cover.	Reallocate remaining defensive arrows, crossbow bolts, and spears to outgoing pursuit units. Convert perimeter medical stations into field trauma units for counter-attack vanguards. Distribute fast emergency rations and wine to outgoing cavalry units. Detail small garrison contingents to remain behind and hold the castle in case of surprise counter-assaults.
PHASE 2: STRENGTHEN / EXECUTE & SEARCH
1. Engine & Structure Deployment	Construct heavy counterweight trebuchets, traction mangonels, and tension ballistas. Build mobile wooden battering ram sheds (cats or sows) covered in wet animal hides. Construct multi-story wooden siege towers (belfries) fitted with drop-down drawbridges. Fabricate heavy wooden mantlets, pavises, and moveable wicker screens for archers.	Erect timber hoardings (cantilevered covered balconies) over curtain wall battlements. Position pre-fabricated wooden bretèches over vulnerable wall angles and gateways. Hang wet raw hides, wool sacks, and packed straw over stone walls to absorb kinetic impacts. Construct timber mantlets and moveable mantlet shields along parapets for archer protection.	Launch simultaneous cavalry charges from multiple hidden sally ports to cut off enemy retreat routes. Encircle retreating enemy siege engineer teams before they can destroy or retreat with heavy equipment. Deploy mounted archers to ride down scattered foot soldiers along circumvallation trenches. Drive wedge formations into the rear of retreating columns to divide enemy forces into isolated pockets.
2. Artillery & Destruction Operations	Launch heavy carved stone projectiles to shatter curtain walls, merlons, and parapets. Fire incendiary pitch pots and incendiary arrows to ignite wooden roofs inside the courtyard. Lob diseased carcasses, offal, and severed heads over walls to spread sickness and fear. Fire high-velocity iron bolts at defensive artillery platforms to pick off counter-crews.	Mount high-angle tension ballistas on corner towers to target enemy siege engineers. Position heavy stone-throwing mangonels on key keep platforms for counter-battery fire. Rig wall-mounted swivel crossbows along gatehouse towers for high-velocity point defense. Stockpile ammunition: smooth river stones, iron-headed bolts, lead bullets, and incendiary pots.	Set fire to abandoned enemy trebuchets, siege towers (belfries), and battering ram sheds (cats). Spike captured enemy catapult winches, cut tension ropes, and smash iron fittings. Collapse enemy sap trenches and tunnel entrances to prevent future subterranean mining. Level enemy circumvallation earthworks and fill outer trenches to open movement lines.
3. Moat, Breach & Camp Operations	Construct covered wicker galleries (vinetae) to allow laborers to approach the moat safely. Fill moat sections with fascines (heavy bundles of sticks), soil, rubble, and timber. Push heavy battering rams across filled moat sections to strike main gatehouse doors. Roll heavy siege towers into direct contact with wall battlements along smoothed earth paths.	Heap earth, gravel, sandbags, and stone rubble directly behind vulnerable wall sections. Build internal timber retrenchments and secondary palisades behind weak curtain walls. Prepare quick-setting lime mortar and stone masonry supplies for fast nighttime repairs. Dig inner dry trenches behind outer walls to prevent immediate enemy inland penetration.	Storm the enemy's fortified base camp (contravallation) before defenders can organize a coherent stand. Overrun enemy command tents, armor storage, and field smithies. Neutralize enemy camp guards and secure vital high-value targets, including officers and commanders. Capture enemy supply trains, baggage wagons, and livestock herds to replenish fortress stocks.
PHASE 3: REAUTHORIZE / REASON & ADAPT
1. Subterranean & Pursuit Operations	Dig deep underground tunnels starting from behind screened siege works toward castle towers. Excavate large cavities beneath curtain wall foundations, propping up roofs with timber beams. Pack underground mine chambers with dry timber, brushwood, fat, and sulfur. Set fire to timber props to cause sudden foundation collapse and bring down stone towers.	Set up acoustic monitoring stations using water basins, drum skins, and parchment sheets in cellars. Excavate low-level subterranean intercept tunnels toward detected enemy dig sites. Breach enemy sap tunnels to engage in subterranean hand-to-hand combat. Pump smoke, burning sulfur, or floodwaters into enemy tunnels to asphyxiate sappers.	Maintain relentless harassment of fleeing enemy remnants using light cavalry units. Drive fleeing soldiers away from water sources, roads, and defensible choke points. Intercept incoming enemy supply convoys or late relief columns unaware of the siege's failure. Establish temporary field listening posts along major retreat corridors to track fleeing army movement.
2. Sorties, Force & Salvage Operations	Import fresh food, forage, grain, and draft animals to sustain the camp through prolonged sieges. Rotate frontline units between trench duty, siege engine operation, and camp security. Establish camp sanitation, clean water wells, and field hospitals to fight dysentery and illness. Negotiate contract extensions or pay bonuses to mercenary forces as service terms expire.	Slip small cavalry or infantry strike teams out through hidden sally ports under cover of darkness. Set fire to enemy rolling siege towers, battery sheds, and trebuchets using pitch and oil. Spike enemy siege equipment, smash catapult winches, and cut tension ropes. Capture enemy siege engineers, heralds, or supply officers for tactical intelligence gathering.	Salvage unexploded stone projectiles, iron bolts, and usable timber from enemy siege engines. Reclaim armor, weapons, horses, and baggage train supplies left on the field. Process high-value enemy captives for future ransom or intelligence gathering. Burn or clear enemy camp debris to prevent disease outbreaks near castle walls.
3. Security, Interception & Consolidation	Maintain cavalry patrols along surrounding roads to detect incoming relief columns. Entrench battle lines along the contravallation perimeter to repel outside attacks. Intercept and destroy incoming supply trains attempting to break through the blockade. Launch night counter-attacks against garrison sally ports to push raiders back inside.	Implement strict daily food and clean water distribution protocols calculated by headcount. Expel non-combatants ("useless mouths") through outer gates to conserve food reserves. Maintain anti-treason patrols along walls to prevent night desertions or signal flares. Rotate archer and guard watch shifts continuously to combat physical and mental exhaustion.	Re-establish control over surrounding villages, farmland, and access roads. Send heralds to neighboring lords and allies announcing the breaking of the siege. Secure nearby mountain passes, river crossings, and bridges to block enemy regrouping. Re-deploy scout networks to detect secondary invasion forces or regrouping enemy remnants.
PHASE 4: CAPTURED / REPORT & OUTPUT
1. Funneling, Breaching & Annihilation	Ignite sapping mines under corner towers to cause catastrophic wall collapses. Drive heavy battering rams continually against gatehouse doors until timber hinges shatter. Concentrate trebuchet barrages onto a single curtain wall section to create a rubble slope. Drop siege tower ramp platforms directly onto battlements to establish infantry bridgeheads.	Fall back behind interior gatehouses, portcullises, and secondary inner curtain walls. Funnel breaching attackers into designated kill zones zeroed by archers and crossbowmen. Collapse pre-mined arches or wooden bridges to trap advancing enemy vanguards in outer courtyards. Drop iron grates to divide enemy assault forces inside gatehouse passages.	Corner remaining enemy pockets against natural obstacles (rivers, cliffs, dense forests). Force unconditional surrender or complete tactical elimination of surrounded hostiles. Capture enemy high commanders, royal banners, and military treasuries. Confirm the total destruction of enemy offensive capabilities within the operational theater.
2. Active Defense, Assault & Restoration	Launch simultaneous false attacks along secondary walls to split defender forces. Send armored dismounted knights and shock infantry surging through primary breaches. Raise dozens of scaling ladders (escalade) along wall sections under heavy archer fire. Deploy archers and crossbowmen to provide continuous suppressive fire against parapets.	Pour boiling pitch, quicklime, hot sand, heated oil, and boiling water down machicolations. Deploy heavy push-poles with fork tips to push siege ladders away from battlements. Fire incendiary arrows into wooden siege towers (belfries) as they approach the walls. Drop heavy rocks, log sections, and broken masonry onto battering ram roofs (cats).	Pull counter-attacking forces back inside the perimeter and secure outer gates. Initiate immediate permanent structural repairs on damaged curtain walls, gates, and towers. Restock castle granaries, armories, and cellars with captured enemy stores. Reset outer defenses, counter-artillery, and moat barriers to full operational readiness.
3. Terminal State Victory Consolidation	Clear the outer courtyards, lower wards, and gatehouse control mechanisms. Storm the central keep (donjon), forcing remaining defenders into inner rooms. Accept formal capitulation, sign surrender terms, and disarm surviving garrison forces. Secure all armories, treasuries, cellars, and strategic high towers to finalize control.	Break the assault, force enemy retreat, and secure outer breaches using rapid timber repair. Execute a controlled retreat into the central keep (donjon) for a final defensive stand. Negotiate conditional surrender terms under flags of truce to save garrison lives. Fight to total annihilation within keep stairwells and grand halls if quarter is refused.	Formally document campaign outcomes, enemy casualties, and captured war spoils. Negotiate peace terms, land concessions, or ransom treaties from a position of strategic dominance. Re-establish normal trade routes and civilian agricultural activity around the fortress. Transition garrison posture from emergency counter-offensive to heightened peacetime readiness.
