town and laid siege to the fortress by
cannonfire. The siege and defense

He writes that the Teutons and Silesian regulars
who helped them were forced to burn down the
buildings behind the outer defensive walls and
kill the horses kept there. The defense of the
high castle, which was bombarded by 14
cannons, also proved fruitless. The commander
and 50 Teutonic knights fell, and 40 Silesian
soldiers were taken prisoners.
