On the other hand, these supplies, if unable to reach his men in sufficient quantities in a timely manner, might as well, from the point of the besiegers, anchored in place, not exist. Several days ago we had begun to disrupt the supply lines of the enemy, striking at supply trains, frightening away draymen, dealing with guards, overturning and burning wagons, seizing stores, and discarding what we could not carry.
