Heck, all Lloyd needs to do in all technicalities is raze the damn fort to the ground, which is entirely possible. It's even stated in Lloyd's tactics that he prefers to "[focus] solely on capturing. Doesn't care if all enemy fighters are killed or none are." So, I guess Lloyd could just destroy Markus' shelter and leave him exposed to the elements and the diseases and lack of supplies that will quickly sweep through the demoralized army. But let's assume for the sake of the argument that Lloyd will take the fort by force. "The goal Lloyd needs to accomplish is to wipe out the army," technically all he needs to do is wear down his foe long enough to break their spirits. But I'll give you that that's not likely because Markus has one of the highest loyalty ratings in this tournament. But with a destroyed fort, ruined with both underground attacks, and direct assaults on the very walls and gates, there's no way that Markus can consolidate his position and hope to cling on to victory. He's looking at a stalemate at best here, and Lloyd's forces are going to be better supplied, better equipped, and better led in the long run. Once the perimeter falls, so does hope for reinforcements, supplies, munitions, etc. and it'll be only a matter of time until the exhausted defenders are forced to capitulate.
